iPhone 14 vs. 14 Pro: Which Apple Phone Should You Buy?

Each September, Apple draws a quiet line between those who want refinement and those who want reinvention. This year's iPhone 14 lineup makes that line unusually visible: the standard models carry forward last year's processor with improved cameras and a new size option, while the Pro models introduce a new chip, a reimagined display cutout called the Dynamic Island, and a 48-megapixel camera system. The prices held steady, which means the question is less about what you can afford and more about what kind of progress you're actually buying.
