r/iphone14 on Reddit: iPhone 14 review - everything’s great except one annoying thing
October 21, 2025 -
So I’ve been using my iPhone 14 as a secondary phone for a while now, and honestly it’s been awesome overall — smooth performance, great battery, display’s still bright and crisp, and Face ID works perfectly.
But… that little discoloration around the camera island is so annoying. The lens area has this weird faded ring / color shift that you can notice when light hits it. Doesn’t affect photo quality at all, but once you notice it, you can’t unsee it lol.
Besides that, the phone runs like new. Super reliable and honestly perfect as a backup device — just wish that camera island didn’t develop that ugly spot.

I just swapped from iPhone SE(2020) to my old XR that I had a few years ago, then finally upgraded to the 14 when my contract was up. I think it's worth it but I don't know about the 13 cause I've never had one lol. Camera is great, battery is great. Haven't had any issues More on reddit.com

Apple iPhone 14 Pro review: early adopter island
I’m so glad a point has been made about this:
The always-on display is a little too... on
Cause even on the videos I’ve seen it still looks quite bright, or brighter than I’d like I should say.
Love the way they’ve waited until they could do it better than anyone else, but a toggle for different brightness levels would be great, not so dark -as the sleep focus but maybe somewhere in the middle ground.

February 13, 2023 - The 6.1-inch iPhone 14, $799, and iPhone 14 Pro, $999, should be easy for most people to use with one hand, and they take up less room in a pocket or handbag. For $100 more, the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus, $899, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, $1,099, offer more canvas for watching videos, playing games, and scrolling through content.

While it also has some of the pricier iPhone 14 Pro's features such as Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite, it skips out on the most compelling new experiences offered by that line, including an always-on display, Dynamic Island, and A16 Bionic processor.

June 18, 2024 - The Apple iPhone 14 was released in September 2022, and is almost identical to the iPhone 13: more RAM (6GB vs 4GB), a fractionally faster processor (which remains industry-leading), and about an hour more battery life. It’s a compact, lightweight phone made from high-quality aluminium and glass.

The iPhone 14 Plus is an all-new option in the lineup, offering the size benefits of the Pro Max models without some of the features and the associated cost, and so it's clearly the more interesting of the two new siblings. I've been able to spend over a month with both, the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus.

r/iphone14 on Reddit: Is the iPhone 14 worth it?
September 20, 2023 -
For reference, i’m upgrading from the iPhone SE(2020). I’m stuck between the 13 and 14. People on the internet are saying there isn’t much of a difference between the two.
I don’t plan on upgrading for another 2-3 years, that’s why i’m leaning more towards the 14. (apple loves to slow down older phones) How is your experience with the 14? Id love to know. I also am a big picture taker so is the camera good?
any form of advice/ opinions are welcome!

I upgraded from an iPhone 6s Plus to the 14 Plus. Massive difference. As for choosing between the 13 and 14 -- the biggest factor for me was the improved battery life and the increase in ram. I hated how on my old phone, switching between apps often meant losing all the info in my other app as it had to shutdown, like if I was making a reddit post, and I wanted to paste something from a google document, and I'd go back to the reddit app, my text would be gone because the reddit app closed down. Things are so much smoother with 6gb. Better app switching, less crashes in apps and the browser, etc.

Video Review: Three Months With the iPhone 14 Pro Max | MacRumors Forums
December 14, 2022 - Way , way too heavy. I got rid of my iPhone 11 Pro Max as that too was too heavy and the 14 Pro Max is even heavier. A true Porker class phone ! Also, the screen scratch resistance of iPhones is dire. Really dire. Have now started using a screen protector on my 13 pro and that so far has yielded so few hairline scratches compared to the 11 Pro max I had prior with no screen protector.

September 21, 2022 - I went from an iPhone X to the 14 Pro. Only thing impressive about it is the 120hz displays. It's so heavy and chunky compared to my 5 year old phone, and the cameras stick out so much it can't sit flat enough to wirelessly charge.

The iPhone 14 is certainly up there with Apple’s least inspired generational upgrades, but it's still a great phone. It’s less iPhone 14 and more 'iPhone 13S', but perhaps that isn’t the end of the world
