Based on prices recorded by PhonesCheaper. Coverage varies by retailer and has expanded over time, so this shows the cheapest price we observed, not necessarily the cheapest available anywhere.
The iPhone 14 offers a better main camera with improved low-light performance, Emergency SOS via satellite (useful for hikers/travellers), Crash Detection, and slightly better battery life. If these features matter to you, the £40-90 premium over iPhone 13 is justified. Otherwise, the iPhone 13 offers essentially the same core experience at a lower price.
The iPhone 14 is the last generation to use Lightning. If you're already invested in Lightning accessories or don't mind, this isn't an issue. However, if you want to consolidate cables with other devices, consider the iPhone 15 which uses USB-C.
Buying online means you cannot inspect the handset first, so run these checks as soon as it is delivered, while you are still inside the returns window.
