iPhone 14 Buyer's Guide - DON'T BE FOOLED!

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are finally here I want to do a buyer's guide on both of these phones because there are more differences than ever between the regular and pro models, and there are a lot of confusing specifications that Apple did not do a good job going over in their presentation. So in this video, I'll do my best to go over all the details before you preorder your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, tell you the differences between the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro max, and talk about some of the key differences that should have you pick one model over the other.

I went from the 11 with 64gb of storage to the 14 with 256gb of storage. I’m extremely satisfied with the amount of storage I now have.

Thank you for being one of the only people not just repeating what apple already told us. You are providing value by comparing it alongside other phone models. Thank you!

Still not seeing anything I really need over my iPhone 11. I think I'll keep using this one until it stops working I guess.

I’m still sitting on my iPhone 6s with a miserable battery-life and I think it’s time for me to finally upgrade.
I’m routing for the iPhone 14 Pro, that Dynamic Island is something I just don’t wanna miss out on and all the other general improvements.
This is gonna be a HUGE upgrade for me and I can’t wait to hold that thing in my hands!

Edit (29-Sept-2022):
Today my iPhone 14 Pro, 256 GB, Space Black, finally arrived and I’m already flashed by pretty much everything the phone has to offer.
I am VERY pleased and even tho I liked my iPhone 6s it was just a pain to use.
Im freed from all the lagging while using the phone and carrying my powerbank everywhere I go!

I traded in my 8 plus on a 14 pro max 256. I really like it so far. I don’t tend to upgrade every year or so but, this year I thought it was time. I’m still trying to get used to it but, at the end of the day, YES !! I’m glad I went for it!

[shubhamm_sharma]

Will upgrade from iphone X to iphone 14 pro max, been using it X for 5 years, was a great phone, 14 should be good to go for next 5 years .

[mrcorncakez]

Currently have an iPhone XR. Decided to upgrade and go for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Safe to say this will be a pretty big difference!

[nightknight]

I'll be upgrading from iPhone 6S to the 14 Pro Max. I'm WAY overdue for a new phone lol.

[lerto]

I used my iPhone 7 plus more than 5 years and last month it suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. The battery life was still really good for a 5+year old phone. I’ve ordered 14 pro and will get it in my hands within a week, it’s gonna be a big upgrade woo!

[ackyash]

I love the new pro models, but way too heavy, willing to sacrifice the dynamic island for a much more comfortable weight.

[jonathan_calixto]

As someone with a iPhone XR 64 gig (which is already full) upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro Max 512 gig, will be a huge upgrade for me and improved battery compared to the XR with 94% battery health.

Update on my storage usage on the iPhone 14 Pro Max 512:

I’ve already used up 102 gigabytes already with it being heavily used by Photos/Videos and Apple Music downloads that’s considering that I still haven’t transferred my photos from my XR

[juliekoester]

I found this very helpful. Thank you Sir!
Both my husband and I are having difficulties with our phones. His is an iPhone 7 and mine is an iPhone 8 so we’re lost when it comes to phones now. We’re perfectly happy with our old phones and wouldn’t be getting news ones if we didn’t have to. We like our money in our wallets better than in our phone.
Again thank you for this video. It was very helpful.

Just got the 14 pro yesterday upgraded from a regular 12 and I must say it’s definitely refreshing ❤️🤷🏾‍♂️

[kevinb]

Appreciate you noting the difference in weight-which is a notable difference

[LordBrozart]

I went with the iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb in Deep Purple.
The 512gb just felt too expensive for me. I’m happy with my choice!

[zghani]

I just got a FREE upgrade from 2nd Gen SE to iPhone 14 and am very happy with it. I'm just a regular user and not so much into the extras in the Pro & Plus. Thank you for the great review!

[vinnyb]

I ordered the 14 pro max this morning when the presale launched and can’t wait considering I have an iPhone XR with an 84% battery capacity and a broken pixel line in my screen!

[mr.tuckers]

I was thinking of getting a Pro model with 128GB storage. I think if you already have an Apple cloud storage plan then that data will be backed up there anyways and you don’t have to necessarily keep unwanted files native on your local storage.

[KiLLJOY]

Totally agree with you about Storage, I just got a Galaxy Note 10 Plus few months ago and the base model is 256gb. Coming from 64gb it totally changed the way I use my phone. Made it so much more fun and useful being able to do and download anything I want and update as many times as I want without making a dent in the storage. I don't know if I could go back and be happy, they should've made 256gb the base pro model starting at the same starting 1099 price.

I would not expect too much from the higher brightness, because brightness is a logarithmic thing. To reach one nuance more of additional brightness, you do not need not add a fixed amount of light, but instead multiply the amount of light by a certain factor. That's why photographers talk about "stops" when it comes to exposure. One stop brighter exposure means you need twice the amount of light (or twice the ISO), for two stops you need four times the amount of light and so on. So the difference between 1, 000 nits and 2, 000 nits is just one stop of brightness. If you wanted five stops more brightness, you would need 32, 000 nits instead.

People are not aware how large the difference of brightness is between a sunny day and a night that is only illuminated by the moon. The sunny day is thousands of times as bright. No smartphone display in the world can compensate for that difference. All you can achieve is making the content somehow readable.
