If you want to splurge on an Apple iPhone 14, think of it as an iPhone 13s

Can this be the shortest tech review we have ever done? If you want to buy the latest generation iPhone, just stump the extra cash for an iPhone 14 Pro and be done with it. If not a Pro phone, then the iPhone 13 is the ticket.

Unfortunately, that’s not how finances work for most folks. Even if you can point at Dynamic Island, the new 48-megapixel cameras and that fresh take on always-on displays, for being so inviting. Neither can you run from the fact that Apple has sown the seeds for this conundrum. The iPhone 14, as mighty as it is, isn’t entirely dissimilar to the iPhone 13 it succeeds a year later (we believe the iPhone 14 Plus is an interesting proposition, and that arrives in stores later).

So much so, the iPhone 14’s beating heart remains largely the same – a tweaked A15 Bionic chip.
