In this video I am going to talk about my experience using the iPhone 14 for one year, and just as if not more importantly, talk about why today in 2024, I do not recommend you buy this phone. Let me explain. This video is for those looking to buy today in 2024, currently on an iPhone 8, X or 11, searching for their next upgrade. If we compare the iPhone 14 to other models like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 15, the iPhone 14 becomes a much tougher sell. Trust me, whether you’re looking to get the best value for your money or the best range of features, this video will help you make the right purchase decision!

iPhone 15, 14 or 13 - which would you choose?

[@gameboyndiaye5733]

Could I pleassseeee have an iPhone I love them but the y are so expensive😢😢🙏🙏🙏

[@spede1]

13 if you want the freedom of a SIM Card.

[@pranaykadam5511]

I would choose iPhone 15 and i have posted the reason in the comment section 😅

[@lil_nginya]

15

[@CelestialEchoes_]

The 14 Plus, it looks good/ classy, The 15 does not look as chic.

[@MillienFilms]

I think the fact the 14 has 6 gigs of ram it'll hold up great in the future versus the 13 that has only 4 gigs!

[@eltechnica]

thats an infinitesmal difference, and is also why the 14 dies faster than the 13 in all real world tests. Since speed is nearly the same w the RAM difference on ios i view the phone w the lowest battery life to be the loser here and thats the 14.

[@MillienFilms]

@@eltechnica you an idiot! Lol

[@Akcy09]

@@eltechnica nonsense. Thanks to the RAM difference, iPhone 14 will be in a much better situation than iPhone 13 with its performance, lifespan, and extra iOS features that it will have in the future. This is not a small difference, it means 50% difference

[@CelestialEchoes_]

I genuinely believe that as long it can receive the latest apple update according to the developers, it can last years.

[@UnkemptBushell]

I know iPhones are built on incremental upgrades, but the 14 should not have been released. Or at least, it should have been a 13s. The best thing it did was reduce the price of the 13.

[@Cubano2031]

And the iphone 15 plus?

[@garden0fstone736]

More ram. Extra gpu cores.

[@coreyburns2074]

The 14 is much more than it seems more refined camera with bigger battery more ram crash and satellite overall it’s a much better phone

[@johnhatlang8913]

As always great video! I would go for the 15 regular. Really looking forward for more interesting tech content on your channel.

[@viktor-ly]

4Gb and 6Gb of RAM - here is the main difference between 13 and 14.

The 13 is the sweet spot between the 14 and 15 if you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg. That’s my current iPhone rn 👌🏾❤️

[@yes_man212]

Currently using the 14 I like it so meh, I upgraded from the product red 8 to the midnight 14 so a phone better than an 8 is an upgrade in itself I’m pretty happy with how well the phone works, it’s using the 13 pro max chip set in the base 14 with the true a16 in the 14 pro and pro max

[@kritatali]

Thank you! ☀️

[@DionMedia]

You’re welcome 😊

[@anipatil2108]

Hey Dion ! Thank you for the detailed comparison between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. I am sure it will help in making an informed decision. If I had to buy I will also go with the iPhone 15.

[@hytemper]

Iphone 14 is better for future with 6gigs of ram. In my country there is small price gap between 13 and 14 and Iphone 15 is much more expensive. I want to upgrade from my iphone 8 and I think that 14 is the best choice in my country with price to quality ratio.

[@calebcustombricks2631]

Just upgraded my 8 to 14 base model yesterday, as the same with you, there is a small price gap between the 13 and 14. Enjoying it so far!

[@CoolMaximus]

I agree

[@D3great]

I just upgraded yesterday from an iPhone SE 2020 to the iPhone 14 (red base model) from the oled and bigger screen to the way better cameras battery life I’m happy

[@perosagathungu8000]

Definitely the iPhone 14 for the minimal upgrades though nothing is mind blowing about the 14 from the 13 like it is with the 15 from the 14 plus an addition of os updates

[@sriyudh]

100%agree with you on this

[@polokghosh983]

At this point, since the prices are kinda where it generally should be, iPhone 15 is definitely the right choice because better battery, cameras, and most important: USB- C

[@Tanjiron34]

Watching from work

[@Dailyfunfacts650]

The iPhone 14 is still an amazing iPhone I got this upgrading from a iPhone XR got it for real cheap (because everyone wants 15s and not 14s) it’s very similar to the 13 with better cameras better battery and screen and battery life is like 2 hours longer. I very much recommend

[@lil_nginya]

great video bro 💯 this will help people planning to buy gifts for their partners for valentine's 😅

[@badyoutuber1986]

Am i wrong for loving the 14 pro due to it's wieght

[@lindamaniwang4181]

The most important thing in a phone is battery life and screen size and the 14 plus has that thats why it should be good

[@Bogartu_Kun]

Awesome video Dion. if possible would still choose iphone 15 though.

[@DionMedia]

Thanks

[@JoseRamirez-lm2sy]

I got the 14 free through a 2 year deal should I regret it

[@daniel.mandengu]

Love the video! I do agree that u shouldn't buy the 14 because it really isn't any different from the 13 and probably just a tad change in the camera but it's not worth the extra hundreds of dollars, but 13 to 15 is kinda worth if just because mainly of the dynamic island and it just gives you a new feel of the features the island has but I would be nice for apple to finally add 120hz to all phone ranges just as androids had done. Cani't wait to see wait to watch the next video!😊

[@dereklundy9030]

It has better battery

[@diogoribeiro7431]

Should I wait for SE 4 or buy iPhone 14? I’m currently a iPhone 8 user and I’m trying my best to hold until the new SE launch because the battery is really really used

[@DonnieChoi]

The iPhone SE 4 is nowhere in sight. We may have to wait another year.

[@Erdadler]

The 14 Plus was worth it this year, because it cost 1.529 € with 512 GB back then. And I got it for 999 € after taxes blue and new with 512 GB. That’s pretty decent and okay for what you get!

[@shawn.taylor]

Still not worth it considering the 15 plus exists and the 13 pro max exists🤧

[@newrandomvideos3623]

@@shawn.taylor who cares? 14 is still a great phone at the end of the day

I have this phone for 1.2 year and I have still 100%battery . I still recomand for usual things

[@DionMedia]

Sounds great, but after over more than 1 year there should be some degradation, even if the phone says differently. Still...Great!

[@footballfan283]

I think the iPhone 14 is a phone that definitely is going to be skipped by a lot of people. The 14 is basically the same with the 13. So many people will just buy the 13 for a cheaper price. And if they want something better than the 13 they will go with the 15. Since the 14 is basically the same with the 13.

[@darrellscales8146]

I got my 14 on January 12 because my Samsung s20fe broke was it a bad choice?

[@viktorlavrenenko1713]

i've heard that there are a lot of buggy 15's. So buying 15 in a year is a smart choice, i think. As for the 14, i would buy it

[@devanshmalikk]

either go for 13 and save money or 15 for tons of extra. 14 just doesn't make sense

[@raptor9888]

60Hz in 2024 is crazy no non pro iphone makes sense

14 is still okay tho apple is moving forward on lighting cable it still depend on you😅

[@Whoshotyaa]

96% after 6months??? When I bought my 12 brand new 4yrs ago it took 8months to get to 99% so how is this possible for your 14?

[@DionMedia]

Hi Francisco, sorry to hear. 89% is indeed on the lower side, especially if you follow most battery tips.

[@CyberHawk2013]

Primary reason is the 13 is 100 bucks cheaper. The 13 has a SIM card slot.

14 has 2 extra gigs of ram, better selfie camera, low light shots, and has a SIM card outside US.
