Apple's iPhone 15 is finally here, but is it worth upgrading to from last year's base model iPhone?

Apple's iPhone 15 has finally been announced, and if you can tear yourself away from looking at the best iPhone 15 cases for a second, you'll want to ask yourself whether the iPhone 15 is really worth the upgrade over the iPhone 14. After all, the iPhone 14 was itself one of the best phones you could buy, even if it had some drawbacks. Not to worry, though, because we're here to tell you everything you need to know about the differences between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15.

The iPhone 15 series has been announced and there are a lot of new and exciting features to discuss. At Apple's annual event, the tech giant revealed the latest iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max, and iPhone Plus. There are additions to each of the phones, including Dynamic Island being standard in ever version of the phone and USB-C charging for all the iPhones, that keep it among the best phones on the market. There are also small tweaks to the sizes, which will impact one of the most critical parts of owning an iPhone: finding the right case.

OnePlus 11 vs iPhone 14: Who needs the Pro moniker?

If you want a flagship phone that skips over the "Pro" bells and whistles for a lower price, these two are among the best options

If you're looking for a new phone but find the four-digit pricing of top-tier flagships like the Galaxy S23 Ultra a bit high, a great option is to simply buy the lower-tier flagship device without the "Pro" moniker. These non-Pro flagship devices tend to still be flagship phones in terms of their processors, displays, and main cameras. They're just usually missing some of the extra bells and whistles seen in Pro phones, like an extra zoom lens, stylus, or "Dynamic Island." In fact, OnePlus declined to release a "Pro" model phone this year citing similar reasons: that its standard OnePlus 11 is enough of a flagship. The same goes for Apple's iPhone 14, which shares a lot of features with its Pro and Pro Max siblings.

We recently read rumors about Apple potentially launching a new color option for the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. Well, the wait is finally over. In a newsroom post, the company announced earlier today that customer can pre-order the non-Pro iPhone 14 models in a brand-new Yellow color starting this Friday. Units will then start shipping to customer and other retail stores next week, on March 14. Expectedly, the new Yellow iPhone 14 and 14 Plus models cost the same as other finishes, starting at $799 and $899 respectively.

Now that we've pushed through the winter cold, spring is just on the horizon, which means warmer weather and possibly new colors for Apple's current iPhone lineup. If you're a seasoned Apple veteran, then you know that the Cupertino giant likes to show off new colors of its current handsets to possibly get people excited, again, about its products and maybe reinvigorate sales.

The Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 are, respectively, Samsung's and Apple's entry-level flagship smartphones. They both share the same price tag and approximate size. Despite that, these excellent phones vastly differ from the inside out. Whether it be their designs, operating systems, ports, etc. — the Galaxy S23 and iPhone 14 are very distinct. In this comparison, we will break down both of their specifications to find out which phone better suits your needs. Let's unpack!

Google's Pixel 7 faces strong competition against Apple's iPhone 14, and with similar prices and features, the question is: which should you buy?

The Google Pixel 7 and Apple iPhone 14 are considered two of the best flagship smartphones you can buy. From their powerful specs and premium designs to their amazing cameras and solid battery life, there's a lot to like about each phone. But while they share a lot of similarities, one thing they don't have in common is pricing: the Pixel 7 starts at $599 while the iPhone 14 is $799, a $200 difference. Considering they're both entry points for Google and Apple's flagship smartphone lines, the question is: which should you buy?

Apple apparently canceled a next-gen GPU for the A16 Bionic thanks to engineering problems

Apple apparently canceled a next-gen GPU for the A16 Bionic thanks to last-minute engineering problems.

The iPhone 14 series was a bit strange, and that's largely thanks to the weirdness relating to its SoC. The iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus both retain the same A15 Bionic from last year's iPhone 13 series, and the A16 Bionic has some improvements, but basically none for the GPU. To put it simply, they were the most incremental iPhones ever. It's hard to get a sense of what's going on in the Cupertino firm usually, but a report from The Information alleges that problems with the A16 Bionic's GPU that were only discovered late in the design process meant that the company was forced to scrap its next-generation GPU.

iPhone 14 users in France, Germany, Ireland, and the U.K. can finally take advantage of Apple's Emergency SOS via satellite feature starting today.

By 

In September, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. This year, the company started to heavily distinguish between the regular and Pro models. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro variants pack an upgraded 48MP wide camera, support the Always-On Display (AOD) feature, and introduce the Dynamic Island. Meanwhile, the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus barely offer any exciting changes when compared to the iPhone 13. Though, one selling point that extends across the iPhone 14 series is the introduction of an all-new Emergency SOS via satellite feature. This handy tool allows users to reach emergency services and depend on Find My, even when no carrier coverage is available. Emergency SOS via satellite first launched in Canada and the U.S. last month, and it has now expanded to those in France, Germany, Ireland, and the U.K.

Apple revealed the iPhone 14 series during its Far Out event in September 2022. This time around, the company heavily distinguished between regular and Pro models. As a result, those buying the latter models will get several exclusives, such as the upgraded 48MP wide rear lens, Dynamic Island, and Always-On display (AOD) support. Nonetheless, the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models still pack in many systems that land them in the flagship category. They might not be the highest-end models of 2022, but they're premium phones that should last you for years (assuming you protect them with a case). Should you buy the iPhone 14 or an iPhone 14 Plus, though? Let's break the matter down.

During its Far Out event, the Cupertino firm launched the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and Apple Watch Series 8, in addition to other products. Arguably, the iPhone 14 Pro models grabbed most of the attention, featuring an all-new Dynamic Island, an Always-On Display (AOD) feature, an upgraded 48MP Wide camera, and more. Meanwhile, the regular iPhone 14 retained most of the specifications of its predecessor. Nonetheless, it still introduces support for some new technologies, such as Emergency SOS via satellite.

The iPhone 14 and OnePlus 10T make for an interesting comparison. The OnePlus 10T is one of the best affordable flagships in the U.S., offering a big display, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, crazy fast charging, and a rich software experience. In many ways, it's even better than its more expensive sibling OnePlus 10 Pro, packing a more powerful CPU, up to 16GB of RAM, and faster charging speeds.
