Apple iPhone 14 vs iPhone 13: Which is the Better Deal?
Apple launched its latest innovation, the iPhone 14 series lineup on September 07, 2022. Like every year, there are buzzes and excitements centering the latest iPhone series. However, there are some mixed reactions about the iPhone 14 model, as it comes with the same chipset found in its ancestor 13 version. Now, is the new iPhone 14 worth buying? Or should you just pick up an iPhone 13 taking advantage of its slashed price? Let’s find out the best deal between iPhone 14 and iPhone 13.
iPhone 13 vs iPhone 14: Similarities and Differences
As Apple has made very minor tweaks in most departments, the exterior design might give an impression that there is almost no difference between the iPhone 14 and its ancestor 13 version. These changes are so small that they can hardly make any difference to the average user. Not to mention, these changes have improved the overall construction of the iPhone 14. Now this device can be considered refined according to the latest standards. Let’s look at the changes from the previous model.
Design and Build
From a glance, the iPhone 14 appears to be the exact carbon copy of the iPhone 13. The front dimensions of both the models are the same but if you try to put an iPhone 13 case on the 14, you will notice the difference.

That is because with a larger camera module the iPhone 14 is slightly thicker (7.8mm) that iPhone 13 (7.7mm). Other than that, everything else seems to be right where it was on the 13.
But perhaps the most striking change is the seamless sides on the iPhone 14. For the first time, Apple has removed the physical sim slot from the iPhone 14 series in the US market.
The move is made to facilitate e-sim adoption as it allows for dual sim connectivity with options to register up to 8 sims on a single device.
However, other region specific iPhone 14s will still come with a physical sim slot as e-sim adoption hasn’t kicked off yet globally.

The Camera
Speaking of the bump on the back, Apple has upgraded the camera module on both the back and the front.
The camera on the back is still a 12 MP one but with a much larger lens featuring 26mm wide focal length, 1/1.7" and f/1.5 aperture. This specific lens setup has been replaced by the 13 Pro series to make for noticeably better camera performance.
The same difference is seen on the front camera as well. The iPhone 14’s 12 MP front sensor now has a larger aperture of f/1.9 aperture which has been upgraded from iPhone 13’s f/2.2 aperture.
Apple iPhone 14’s camera section’s best feature has to be the autofocus which significantly increases the selfie quality.

What’s more? Apple has also included its proprietary Photonic Engine in the latest iPhone. It’s a fancy name for a new image processing module that can increase the low light image quality by up to 50%.
Processor, Performance, and Connectivity
Perhaps the greatest negative press that Apple got in the last few years is the inclusion of the same A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13 series to the iPhone 14. The iPhone 14 Pro models got the new and improved A16 Bionic chips. It makes a clear distinction in processing power in the same lineup for the first time.
However, it’s not the exact same chip. The A15 Bionic has been tweaked to improve the GPU from four cores to 5 cores. This increased the graphics rendering capability of the iPhone 14 by almost 18% from the previous generation.
There has been an improvement in the memory department as well. Apple has finally upgraded from 4 GB RAM on their base model to 6 GB RAM. The RAM increment is easily noticeable as apps don’t have to refresh as regularly as they used to.
Read iPhone 14 launch: What are the new features?
The combined result is improved performance on paper. We say on paper because the performance differences aren’t all that noticeable. High-intensity games still run the same as they did on the iPhone 13 before without any visible performance improvement.
However, that’s not necessarily a drawback as iPhones have long before reached a performance saturation point. The performance was already above and beyond on the iPhone 13 so it's no surprise that the improvements are only minor.
On the connectivity end, there is the new X65 5G modem on the iPhone 14. While using both 5G and LTE, there has been a 38% increase in upload and download speed. This will definitely help to enhance the 5G experience more where it is fully available.
The Display and the Speakers
There has been a little buzz regarding the display and the speaker on the iPhone 14. Some say that there is a noticeable difference from the last generation. But unfortunately, the display and the speaker are both carried over from the last generation.
Read iPhone 14 launch: Game-changing emergency services via satellite
Meaning the display is still the same Super Retina XDR one as Apple loves to call it. The speaker performance is also the same on both video playbacks as well as calls.
Battery and Charge Time
iPhone 14’s battery has been bumped to 3279 mAh from iPhone 13’s 3227 mAh battery. This allows for a slightly improved battery performance over the previous model. In testing, the iPhone 14 was able to clock an extra hour in video playback which seems like a pretty great deal.
The charging speed is the same 20W with the wired one and 15W with the Magsafe charger.
What’s New on the iPhone 14?
Now it's easy to get lost in the myriad of minor tweaks here and there. But did Apple actually include anything new with their new iPhone 14?
Yes, they did. But how much will it impact day-to-day use remains a question. The two additional features this year include the Emergency SOS signal via satellite and crash detection technology.
Read Apple warns of security flaw for iPhones, iPads and Macs
Apple has brought a premium service of connecting directly to a satellite for extreme emergencies where there are no signals or connectivity. Apple said that the feature will be free for the first two years with premium plans afterward.
On the other hand, Apple improved their gyro sensors to develop a crash detection technology that will automatically notify authorities if you find yourself in an accident.
As a user, these are just extreme cases and something that anyone would wish never to try.
Final Verdict: Which one Should you Buy?
The release of the new iPhone 14 means Apple would slash the price of their previous models by 100 dollars. And that price cut makes the choice a lot more interesting.
With an equal price, it makes sense to go for the iPhone 14 over the 13. But now you will have to pay 100 dollars more for slightly better camera performance and two new features which you’ll probably never use.
Read Price Drop: Is it the right time to buy an iPhone 13?
From a complete value perspective, the iPhone 13 is the better choice. It brings almost all the bells and whistles at a much cheaper price.
But if you need the latest and greatest Apple tech, the 14 can be a minimal yet understandable choice.

iPhone 14: Cheapest in which countries?
Apple unveiled the new iPhone 14 at their September event. The new phone features emergency satellite connectivity and car crash detection technology. The company released four versions (iPhone 14, 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max) of the new handset at their headquarters in Cupertino. All these variations come with different storage capabilities and features. Hence, the price is also different.
The base price of the iPhone 14 is $799 in the USA, while the maximum price will be around $1,600 for the 14 Pro Max. If you want to buy from other countries, you will need to spend a bit more depending on the tax and conversion rate. Let’s look at which countries' iPhone 14 models are the cheapest.

9 Countries to Buy Cheapest iPhone 14 from
The iPhone is a dream phone for many, especially for those who live outside the USA. People often buy iPhones from a country where they can get it at a cheaper price. If you’re excited about the latest iPhone 14, you can try buying it from the following countries.
USA
In the United States, iPhones are usually cheaper than other countries. There are a number of reasons for this, but the two most important are no import duties, and it is a US-based company.
Economies of scale also play a role in making the iPhone cheaper in the US. Apple is able to produce more iPhones in the US than it can in other countries due to the greater demand and availability of manufacturing resources. As a result, Apple is able to spread the cost of production over a larger number of units, resulting in lower prices for consumers.
Read iPhone 14 Series Launch: What are the new features?
For all these reasons, you can get the cheapest iPhone 14 in the USA for $799. So, if you can buy it from the USA, the price will be BDT 83,458 ($1= BDT 104.45). The iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost $999, which is BDT 1,04,349.55 ($1= BDT 104.45).
Canada
Canada is another cheapest country to get an iPhone 14. You can get it for CAD 1099. So, if you can bring it from Canada to Bangladesh, you can get it for BDT 87,047 (CAD 1= BDT 79.20). The iPhone 14 Pro is priced at CAD 1,399 in Canada, which will cost you BDT 1,10,812.87 (CAD 1= BDT 79.20).
Hong Kong
The iPhone 14’s price in Hong Kong is comparatively less in Hong Kong than in Bangladesh. You can buy an iPhone 14 for HK$6,899 which will be BDT 91,816.10 (HK$1 = BDT 13.31). For the 14 Max you will need to spend HK$ 8,599 which is equivalent to BDT 1,14,440.73 (HK$1 = BDT 13.31).

Singapore
Since Singapore is a technology-oriented country, you can expect an iPhone 14 at a lower price there. The buying price will be S$1,299 for 14, which is BDT 96,384.37 (S$1 = BDT 74.24). On the other hand, the 14 Pro will be S$1649 or BDT 1,22,353.98 (S$1 = BDT 74.24).
Australia
The iPhone 14 will cost A$1,399 which is equivalent to BDT 98,547.19 (A$1 = BDT 70.44). But, if you want to buy 14 Pro from Australia, it will cost you A$ 1,749 or BDT 1,23,201.60 (A$1 = BDT 70.44). With these
With this price, you may also get AppleCare+, which provides extended warranty coverage and 24/7 technical support. When you factor in all of these features and benefits, the price of the iPhone 14 Pro starts to look a lot more reasonable.

UAE
The United Arab Emirates is another cheap option for buying an iPhone. The iPhone 14 is priced at AED 3,399 in UAE. That being said, you can buy it for BDT 96,659.27 (AED 1= BDT 28.44) in Emirates. For the iPhone 14 Pro the price is AED 4,299 or BDT 1,22,253.07 (AED 1= BDT 28.44).
Malaysia
Apart from the official Apple store, you can also buy iPhones from other local retail stores too. In general, Malaysian retailers offer a significant discount on new phones, making it possible to find a device for hundreds of dollars less than the retail price in other countries.
However, for the newly launched iPhones, you will not get any benefits from local retailers. iPhone 14 will cost RM 4,199 or BDT 96,714.98 (RM 1 = BDT 23.13) in Malaysia. 14 Pro is priced at RM 5,299, which will be 1,22,051.12 in Bangladeshi Taka.

Japan
Japan is also a cheap option to buy an iPhone, which you may not think of. The iPhone 14 will cost 1,19,800 Japanese Yen which is BDT 87,204.07 (1 Japanese Yen = BDT 0.73). On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro will cost 149,800 Japanese Yen or BDT 109041.49 (1 Japanese Yen = BDT 0.73).
India
Since India is a neighboring country, we tend to buy gadgets from India. However, buying an iPhone from India will not be a good idea compared to the countries we have mentioned above. Indian should be your last option.
Although India is an Asian country and income is less than first world countries, the iPhone is not cheaper here. iPhone 14 will cost ₹79,900.00 which is BDT 1,04,670.45 (₹1 = BDT 1.31). For the 14 Pro, you will need to pay ₹129900.00 or BDT 1,70,171.36. (₹1 = BDT 1.31).

Final Words
If you are looking to buy an iPhone 14 in Bangladesh, you may need to pay 1 Lac Taka or more than that. That’s why buying from other countries will be cheaper. Just ordering and paying online will not get you the iPhone 14 at a cheap cost from other countries as you need to pay shipping costs and taxes.
So, in that case, you are paying a high cost. That’s why it will be best if you can bring through any friend or relative who is coming to Bangladesh. They can carry at least one iPhone without paying tax in Bangladesh. Thus, you can just pay them according to the exchange rate. This process will save you a lot of money.
So far, we have mentioned 9 countries where you can buy iPhone 14 at the lowest price ranges. Please note that all the prices we have mentioned here are for the 128GB versions. For 256GB or more, you need to visit the respective Apple website to know the actual price.

Apple's iPhone 14 Review: A revamped iPhone 13?
There aren’t many phones that command the same level of global attention as the iPhone does. The iPhone 14 series was launched on September 7th, 2022. Does the Apple iPhone 14 go for a big leap forward? Or is it just another incremental update? Let’s find out.
Key Specifications of Apple iPhone 14
Design and Build Quality
This year, the iPhone has scrapped its mini lineup as leaks and rumors suggested. Instead, users got a Plus variant of the device which has a similar dimension to the Pro Max with the internals of the 14.
Coming back to the iPhone 14, the design and build quality remains exactly the same here. Dimension-wise, the device is about 0.1 mm thicker than the iPhone 13 at 7.8 mm thickness. The change is almost impossible to notice in day-to-day use. And while this might feel like a design stagnation, there is more to it than the obvious.
Read iPhone 14 launch: What are the new features?
We spoke about how high-end ultra tech is coming at a saturation point and how it’s impossible to introduce breakthrough features in every generation.
The iPhone 13 series was the pinnacle of technology last year. And even though we have moved a year forward, the design and the internals are still relevant by 2022 standards.
Users will be getting the exact same external ports and button selection on the iPhone 14. However, the USA variant of the device has introduced a dual e-sim option. Meaning there won’t be any physical sim slot on the USA variant of the device.
Read Oppo A57 Review: Key specs, pros and cons
Other region-specific models will feature physical sim slots with the Chinese variant featuring a dual nano sim option instead of the e-sim.
Overall, the iPhone 14 brings nothing new on the hardware end of things. And while it might sound boring, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Why fix something that isn’t broken?
Display
The replicative nature from last year has trickled into the display of the iPhone 14 as well. As expected from the hardware dimensions, the display of the iPhone 14 is the exact same 6.1-inch panel found on the iPhone 13.
Read Top 10 mobile phones coming to Bangladesh in September 2022
The display itself is a Super Retina XDR OLED panel from Apple. If the name wasn’t mouthful enough, the panel itself has been absolutely stacked with features. It supports HDR 10 content along with Dolby Vision. In High Brightness Mode, the display can churn out up to 800 nits with a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits.
This makes the panel easily legible outdoors even under direct sunlight. The front is protected by scratch-resistant ceramic glass along with an oleophobic coating to keep smudges and fingerprints away.
The display of iPhones has always been top-notch. They are the only other brand that can directly compete with Samsung in terms of color, quality, and overall dynamics. The panel itself has excellent viewing angles, vivid colors, and a very responsive touch sampling.

Overall, even though there’s nothing new on display tech, it's still one of the best displays in any budget range right now.
Camera
The iPhone 14 features a dual 12 MP camera on the back. Seeing the 12 MP main sensor on the 14 might be a letdown for many as the iPhone has finally upgraded the main sensor to a 48 MP one on the Pro models.
The camera system on the 14 is exactly the same with albeit slightly better performance. The performance upgrade comes from the software optimization of the iOS 16 and general post-processing optimization.
Read iPhone 14 launch: Game-changing emergency services via satellite
The main sensor still features dual-pixel PDAF as well as a sensor shifting OIS which aids in the insane video stabilization on the iPhone 14.
The picture quality is still much superior to any competitor in its price bracket. The colors look sharp with a detailed dynamic range no matter what the lighting condition is. The variable shutter speed allows for smoother low and extreme low light images. Users would be hard-pressed to find grains or noises in artificial or low-light images.
Moving on to the videography, the phone can shoot at 4K at 60 fps in max settings. But the most impressive feature is the cinematic mode which hyper stabilizes videos to provide cinema-like video projections.
Read Android 14 to feature satellite connectivity support
The front camera is also the standard 12 MP like last year. The pictures look great with their details and sharpness. The cinematic mode has also been added to the front camera which is the only notable upgrade here.
Overall, the camera will churn out a bit more than last year’s iPhone 13. And no matter how you look at it, it's still an excellent camera system in its price bracket.
Processor and Performance
Perhaps the most shocking aspect regarding the iPhone 14 is the use of A 15 Bionic chipset, the same that was used on last year’s iPhone 13 and 13 Pro series.
Read International Roaming: How to use a Bangladeshi SIM card abroad
We have seen before that both the pro and the non-pro variant get the same processing power. But with the 14 series, Apple is creating a clear distinction in terms of processing power as well.
While the Pro series comes with a more enhanced A 16 Bionic, users opting for the cheaper 14 series will only be getting A 15. And much of that has to do with performance and global chip shortage rather than just a strategic move.
Over the years, Apple has produced chipsets that are far superior to any competitor in the market by a clear margin. And the gap has only widened in recent years with the Bionic series. So even though A 15 might seem like last year’s chip, it'll be powerful enough to power through anything that’s thrown at it.
Read Top 8 International Sim Cards in Bangladesh
The 5 Nm Hexa-core processor used 2 high-powered chips and supported 4 mid-tier chips. On paper, the A 15 falls slightly short of the A 16. Apple claims that the A 15 is still better than any android competitor chipset released in 2022 so users shouldn’t worry much about the performance.
You’ll get the same lighting, fast performance, smooth animations, and a proven chipset that can blaze through even the most demanding tasks.
Battery and Charge Time
the iPhone's battery amount isn’t the best indicator of its performance. Even though the iPhone 14 features a 3279 mAh battery, the high optimization of the A 15 allows the device to run for 8 to 10 hours continually. The device also has fast charging capabilities which can go from 0 to 50% in 30 minutes with supported fast chargers.

Price of iPhone 14
The base variant of the iPhone 14 with 128 storage options comes at 799 USD which roughly translates to 83,458 BDT ( 1 USD = 104.45). However, the pricing may vary depending on supply tax and other policies when it becomes available in Bangladesh.
Final Words
Like every year, Apple’s September event 2022 has been designated to launch the latest iPhone series. But with tech reaching a saturation point, it’s becoming increasingly difficult, even for Apple, to come up with a notable and significant upgrade.
The iPhone 14 doesn’t really bring anything new to the iPhone lineup. In fact, the device is like a repackaged version of last year’s iPhone 13. While many might think of this as Apple becoming complacent, it still brings an overall package that can hardly be beaten at its price point. Speaking of price, it’s the same as last year so that’s another thing to consider as well.
Read Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 Review: Multitasking King for Utilitarian Users
Overall, the Apple iPhone 14 might feel like the same run-off-the-mill iPhone. But for anyone wishing to jump to iOS or upgrade from anything before iPhone 11, now’s the perfect time to grab an iPhone 14.

iPhone 14 launch: What are the new features?
Apple has never stopped surprising the world with extraordinary features. On September 7, 2022, Apple launched their latest iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max variants differ significantly from the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models.
What’s new on Apple’s iPhone series
— Brighter display featuring Dynamic Island:
Apple claims that the bezels have been considerably decreased in the latest iPhone 14 models, but the sizes are once again 6.1 and 6.7 inches. The display is brighter than previous models’, with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits.
In the latest iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max model, you get a pill-shaped "Dynamic Island" which has replaced the previous upper-display notch. This ‘Always-On’ display feature will not only allow the users to access controls with just a tap-and-hold; but also give quick access to crucial information.
Read iPhone 14 launch: Game-changing emergency services via satellite
Running on iOS 16, the Dynamic Island can show information like sports scores while running background activities like Maps, Music, or timer. Those who love multitasking shouldn’t miss it.
— Powerful cameras with Photonic Engine and auto focus selfie shooter:
The iPhone 14 and Plus models sport primary (f /1.5) and ultra-wide (f/2.4) cameras on the back but still have a 12-megapixel resolution. These sensors have been enhanced with a faster aperture.
The Pro versions, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, come with significant improvement in the camera section. A quad-pixel sensor with a 48-megapixel resolution (f/1.8) has been added to the primary camera, making it 65% bigger than the sensor in the iPhone 13 Pro.
Read Oppo A57 Review: Key specs, pros and cons
Apple is utilizing the increased resolution for the company's ProRAW format as well as an additional step in the camera's zoom, which now includes a 2x option in addition to a 3x option. Furthermore, the telephoto (f/2.8) and ultra-wide (f/2.2) cameras have also been improved.
All the models of iPhone 14 series are blessed with a new feature called ‘Photonic Engine.’ This exclusive feature will create Deep Fusion before the photos are compressed. It will "dramatically" improve (49%) low-light performance of the iPhone model's cameras, including the selfie cameras.

iPhone 14 launch: Game-changing emergency services via satellite
When regular service is unavailable, you will be able to connect to emergency services through satellite with the latest iPhone 14 model.
To connect to satellite, and to maintain that connection, iPhone14 will provide directions on where to position it.
More from iPhone 14 launch event
With a redesigned main camera that captures 49% more light and new Photonic Engine technology, Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus address a major weakness in smartphone cameras: low-light shooting.
Apple said that the Photonic Engine technology works on all the new phones' cameras, including its new selfie camera and ultrawide rear camera. The main wide-angle camera has a larger f1.5 aperture so that its lens can let in more light, CNET reports.
Read: Android 14 to feature satellite connectivity support
At its fall product launch event on Wednesday, Apple introduced the new camera technology, marking a significant occasion on the yearly technology calendar. The iPhone is a major company in and of itself, but it also serves as the cornerstone of a massive digital ecosystem that is deeply ingrained in the lives of millions of people. This ecosystem includes services like iCloud and Apple Arcade as well as peripherals like AirPods and Apple Watches.
One of the most obvious differences from smartphone models from one year to the next is the camera, especially since that designers have adopted bigger, protruding lenses as a defining feature. Customers may not notice a speedier processor, but they may notice the introduction of additional camera modules, such as the telephoto and ultrawide options now ubiquitous on high-end phones.
Highlights of iPhone 14
● New 12 MP main camera with larger sensor and pixels
● Faster f1.5 aperture, Sensor-shift OIS
● 49% improvement in low light capture
● Autofocus front camera
● New action mode for video
● US models no longer have SIM tray
● Crash detection
● Emergency SOS via Satellite (free for two years, launches in November in US and Canada).

iPhone 14 Series: Leaks, Rumors, Possible Release Date
It has been only 4 months since the launch of iPhone 13 series but the rumors of iPhone 14 series have already been started. Some of these rumors picked up the pace even before the release of the 13 series. Since Apple has not really brought any innovative changes since the iPhone 11 lineup, the anticipation with the 14 series is as high as ever. Is this the year Apple brings breakthrough tech in their mobile lineup? Or will it be just another incremental update? Here is everything that is known so far about the iPhone 14 series, the arguably greatest phone lineup in the world.
Leaks and Rumors of iPhone 14 Series
Design
Will there be a design overhaul with the iPhone 14? Notable leakers Jon Prosser and Ming-Chi Kuo claim that iPhone does not plan to bring any significant change to the designs until the 15 series in 2023.
However, both of them noted that there will be changes to the front notch and the camera bump of the phones. The current notch design was introduced with the iPhone X series back in 2017. Apple may finally move away from the notch to a less obtrusive pill or punch hole design.

The camera bump is slated to be gone as well bringing back the flush design of the iPhone 5 series.
Apple will retain the box-like design for at least a couple more years as per the leaks. So, people hoping for a design revolution will have to wait beyond the 14 series for the time being.
Lineup and Materials
The iPhone 13 series marks the end of the mini variant. Reported poor sales of the iPhone 12 and 13 mini means Apple will be pulling the plug on this one. Instead, Apple is rumored to introduce the Max variant for the standard iPhone 14.
Read Samsung Galaxy A03 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone?
Currently, Apple has an iPhone 13 and 13 mini with 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max being the high-end offerings. The iPhone 14 Max will replace the mini as a budget alternative to the 14 Pro Max.
The notch might stay with base iPhone models namely the 14 and 14 Max. But the higher-end 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may either see the punch hole or the pill-shaped camera cut out.
There have been leaks about the materials as well. iPhones have long since used stainless steel or aluminum as the base material for their iPhones. But all of that might change with the new lineup. Reports suggest that Apple might introduce titanium frames for the higher-end Pro models in the 14 series lineup.

Camera Series
The iPhone 13 series saw a huge upgrade over the 12 lineup. The change is likely to continue to the 14 series as well with leaks suggesting there will be a 48 MP main sensor across the entire series. This will bring significant development in the pictures as well as videography. The cinematic mode on the current 13 series is expected to get a huge boost due to software optimization.
Apple is slating to bring 8K videography in the pro models of the 14 series. As per Jon Prosser, Apple will stick to the triple camera setup for the time being and the front-facing camera will not see any changes in the 14 series.
Display
Apple already introduced LTPO technology into their display last year with the 13 series. This year, Apple might use the updated LTPO2 tech for the display. As for the display technology, notable Apple analyst, Jeff Pu suggests that there won’t be any new changes to the display. The displays will have the same OLED panels with variable refresh rates and upgraded brightness.

Just like the iPhone 13 series, the 14 and 14 Max might not receive the higher-end 120 Hz refresh rate. Apple will reportedly stick with the 60 Hz resolution which is quite a letdown.
Performance and Connectivity
Apple has always been big on the performance aspect of their devices. The bionic chipsets were the first to include over 1 billion processes in the system in any mobile device. Naturally, the iPhone 14 series is also slated to boast the latest and greatest chipset from Apple, the A16 Bionic.
Jeff Pu notes that the iPhone 14 series will have some internal performance improvements with the A16 Bionic chipset but it will not be very apparent on day-to-day usage. The A16 Bionic will likely be built on the 4 Nm processor compared to last year’s 5 Nm architecture. This should bring better battery life and performance across all the devices.

Last year, Apple upgraded their GPU to 5 cores across the iPhone 13 lineup. However, the 5th core was not activated on the device. This year, the core might come preactivated.
On the connectivity end, Apple will introduce the WiFi 6E, the next generation WiFi into the 14 lineups. It is slated to bring better upload and download speed along with connection.
Battery
Even a few years back, Apple was notoriously known for having smaller batteries that barely lasted a day. But that all changed with the iPhone 12 lineup. Since then, Apple has had a significant battery boost increasing the efficiency as well as battery size. The 13 Pro Max had a considerable battery size upgrade from the 12 Pro max which gave it the best battery life for any smartphone released last year.

Apple is expected to take the same performance up a notch with an even bigger battery. In addition to the increased battery, there is expected to be a 15 W Magsafe charger, 7.5 W wireless charger and a standard 20 W wired charging.
But the most interesting development comes in the port. Rumors have it Apple might finally ditch the lighting port in favor of the USB Type-C port.
Expected Price of iPhone 14
The pricing of the iPhone 14 series is slated to remain the same as that of the 13 series. But if Apple introduces the 14 Max variant, it will be around 1000 USD more than the standard 14.
