Apple iPhone 14
I'd skip itI'd give this a miss.
Uninspired design and last year's chip make the standard iPhone 14 feel like old tech sold at full price.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“when I saw this my jaw Hit the Floor”
“the iPhone 15s make the iPhone 14 look like genuinely terrible value for money right now”
“the iPhone 14 is in last place with 9 hours and 2 minutes”
“this is not bad battery life”
“the maximum amount of power of the iPhone 14 is leagues ahead of this phone”
“the iPhone is charging with a lightning cable with up to 20 watts of charging power”
