iPhone 14 - Overview
Apple removed the ‘Mini’ model from the iPhone 14 line-up, with iPhone 14 serving as the base variant. The company has retained the design and look of the iPhone while focusing on upgrading its features and specs list. After the incredible success of the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 14 promised even better cameras and ground-breaking performance. The iPhone 14’s price is also very reasonable, and for that reason, the company has not made many changes to its display compared to its predecessor.
The iPhone 14 delivers excellent value with enhanced camera capabilities, a speedy A15 Bionic chip, and an exciting Action mode for video recording. The handset also introduces several exciting features. This includes advancements in computational photography, crash detection capability, enhanced video stabilisation, and the ability to send emergency messages via satellite.
