The iPhone 14 comes in four models: the basic iPhone 14, a "supersized" (Apple's word) version called the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The basic starts at $799, the Plus starts at $899, the Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099.</p><p>All four models boast more advanced front and back cameras and safety features that can detect whether you've been in a car crash and help you call 911, even if you're in an isolated area with limited cell service. The 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has "the best battery life ever in an iPhone," the company said.</p><p>All told, the iPhone 14 models "have incredible new features that will help our users in meaningful ways," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at Wednesday's unveiling.</p><p>How meaningful those upgrades really are remains to be seen. But there's no denying that the birth of the iPhone 15 years ago marked the beginning of a new, more intimate relationship between humans and their phones. Some might say that connection has morphed into codependency; people can't seem to function without their smartphones.</p><p>Is now the time to take that relationship to the next level and get a new iPhone?</p><h2>Why it matters</h2><p>"I think keeping the price at $799 was a brilliant move on Apple's part," said Charles Lindsey, associate professor of Marketing, University at Buffalo School of Management a professor at the University at Buffalo. "By not raising the price, they will not only capture early sales from the Apple innovators/early adopters (who typically buy new versions as soon as possible) but they will also pull in/convert your more mainstream users (who are typically slower to upgrade)."</p><p>The iPhone 14 comes in "stunning" colors including deep purple and starlight. Those pretty hues contrast with some gloomy economic data in the U.S: Record-high inflation has pushed Americans' cost of living way up, home prices and rents have soared, and credit card debt has piled up as pandemic-related government relief has receded. The labor market remains extremely tight, but some companies have been laying off employees or freezing hiring.</p><p>All of that may make consumers skittish about shelling out close to $1,000 on a phone. Which may explain Apple's decision to keep the base price of the iPhone 14 exactly the same as the starting price for the iPhone 13, unveiled in 2021.</p><p>The price isn't the only thing that didn't budge.</p><p>"The base iPhone 14 model is actually almost identical to the 13," said Melanie Pinola, a senior writer and editor on the smartphone beat at Consumer Reports.</p><p>Based on what Pinola saw at Wednesday's unveiling, it appears that the iPhone 14 has the same display, processor, overall design and the same battery as the 13. "If you have a 13, I don't know if I would switch to a 14 this year," Pinola said. "There are small improvements with the 14, but I wouldn't say I would rush out right now."</p><p>The most notable change among the iPhone 14 models is the new larger version, the iPhone 14 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, which is similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S22, Pinola said. "This is the first time that Apple has ever made a large screen phone under $1,000, so it's more accessible for people who want a larger phone," Pinola told MarketWatch.</p><h2>The verdict</h2><p>Skip the iPhone 14, unless your existing phone is on life support. "If you're not able to get security or software updates, it's definitely time to get a new phone," Pinola said.</p><h2>My reasons</h2><p>Tech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule. But should Apple dictate when you spend money? Maybe that's how it became one of the world's most profitable companies. But blindly following Apple's marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.</p><h2>Is my verdict best for you?</h2><p>On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom's Guide.</p><p>"People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade," Michaels told MarketWatch. "And given Apple's track record of lengthy software support -- iOS 16 works fine on phones released five years ago -- it's easy to hold onto your current iPhone for a long time."</p><p>"That said, if you've got an iPhone 11 or earlier, you will definitely notice an improvement in performance, even with the A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 as opposed to the more advanced A16 Bionic powering the Pro models. Cameras figure to produce better results, too, though testing Apple's new phones will confirm that. Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify," Michaels said.</p><p>Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&T <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a>, T-Mobile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">$(TMUS)$</a> and Verizon <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a>, are offering discounts as well.</p><p>If you're trying to decide whether to upgrade, don't forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.</p><p>"Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends," Lowitz said. "Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300."</p><p>Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.</p><p>Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments. Now, 30 and 36 monthly payment plans are common, Lowitz said.</p><p>"That reduces the monthly outlay, though it postpones the relief of making that final payment, and the new phone buyer needs to be confident that their phone will serve them that long. Even with the strong residual value of an iPhone, a buyer with 36 payments may have negative equity in their phone into their third year of ownership," Lowitz said.</p><p>Apple shares closed almost 1% up Wednesday after the iPhone 14 event, but they are down 12% year to date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 are down 13.5% and more than 16%, respectively, this year.</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Is the iPhone 14 Worth It?

The iPhone 14 comes in four models: the basic iPhone 14, a \"supersized\" (Apple's word) version called the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The basic starts at $799, the Plus starts at $899, the Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099.All four models boast more advanced front and back cameras and safety features that can detect whether you've been in a car crash and help you call 911, even if you're in an isolated area with limited cell service. The 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has \"the best battery life ever in an iPhone,\" the company said.All told, the iPhone 14 models \"have incredible new features that will help our users in meaningful ways,\" Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at Wednesday's unveiling.How meaningful those upgrades really are remains to be seen. But there's no denying that the birth of the iPhone 15 years ago marked the beginning of a new, more intimate relationship between humans and their phones. Some might say that connection has morphed into codependency; people can't seem to function without their smartphones.Is now the time to take that relationship to the next level and get a new iPhone?Why it matters\"I think keeping the price at $799 was a brilliant move on Apple's part,\" said Charles Lindsey, associate professor of Marketing, University at Buffalo School of Management a professor at the University at Buffalo. \"By not raising the price, they will not only capture early sales from the Apple innovators/early adopters (who typically buy new versions as soon as possible) but they will also pull in/convert your more mainstream users (who are typically slower to upgrade).\"The iPhone 14 comes in \"stunning\" colors including deep purple and starlight. Those pretty hues contrast with some gloomy economic data in the U.S: Record-high inflation has pushed Americans' cost of living way up, home prices and rents have soared, and credit card debt has piled up as pandemic-related government relief has receded. The labor market remains extremely tight, but some companies have been laying off employees or freezing hiring.All of that may make consumers skittish about shelling out close to $1,000 on a phone. Which may explain Apple's decision to keep the base price of the iPhone 14 exactly the same as the starting price for the iPhone 13, unveiled in 2021.The price isn't the only thing that didn't budge.\"The base iPhone 14 model is actually almost identical to the 13,\" said Melanie Pinola, a senior writer and editor on the smartphone beat at Consumer Reports.Based on what Pinola saw at Wednesday's unveiling, it appears that the iPhone 14 has the same display, processor, overall design and the same battery as the 13. \"If you have a 13, I don't know if I would switch to a 14 this year,\" Pinola said. \"There are small improvements with the 14, but I wouldn't say I would rush out right now.\"The most notable change among the iPhone 14 models is the new larger version, the iPhone 14 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, which is similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S22, Pinola said. \"This is the first time that Apple has ever made a large screen phone under $1,000, so it's more accessible for people who want a larger phone,\" Pinola told MarketWatch.The verdictSkip the iPhone 14, unless your existing phone is on life support. \"If you're not able to get security or software updates, it's definitely time to get a new phone,\" Pinola said.My reasonsTech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule. But should Apple dictate when you spend money? Maybe that's how it became one of the world's most profitable companies. But blindly following Apple's marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.Is my verdict best for you?On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom's Guide.\"People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade,\" Michaels told MarketWatch. \"And given Apple's track record of lengthy software support -- iOS 16 works fine on phones released five years ago -- it's easy to hold onto your current iPhone for a long time.\"\"That said, if you've got an iPhone 11 or earlier, you will definitely notice an improvement in performance, even with the A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 as opposed to the more advanced A16 Bionic powering the Pro models. Cameras figure to produce better results, too, though testing Apple's new phones will confirm that. Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify,\" Michaels said.Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&T $(T)$, T-Mobile $(TMUS)$ and Verizon $(VZ)$, are offering discounts as well.If you're trying to decide whether to upgrade, don't forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.\"Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends,\" Lowitz said. \"Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300.\"Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments. Now, 30 and 36 monthly payment plans are common, Lowitz said.\"That reduces the monthly outlay, though it postpones the relief of making that final payment, and the new phone buyer needs to be confident that their phone will serve them that long. Even with the strong residual value of an iPhone, a buyer with 36 payments may have negative equity in their phone into their third year of ownership,\" Lowitz said.Apple shares closed almost 1% up Wednesday after the iPhone 14 event, but they are down 12% year to date.

And the stocks of EV-charging network company <b>EVgo</b>(NASDAQ:EVGO)and vehicle electrification company <b>XL Fleet</b>(NYSE:XL)are also on the rise. The stocks had moved as follows as today:</p><ul><li>Nio shares up 14.76%</li><li>EVgo shares up 9.08%</li><li>XL Fleet shares up 7.9%</li></ul><p>So what</p><p>The thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in the electric vehicle sector. And that tells the story of today's big moves. Though these businesses have not exactly been moving in the same direction, the stock prices have. They are all down significantly in 2021. XL Fleet shares have dropped 59% year to date, while EVgo and Nio stocks are down 37% and 35%, respectively. But the businesses aren't quite as synchronized. Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge the <b>Tesla</b> Model 3.</p><p>Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.</p><p>Now what</p><p>Nio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has a market capitalization of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's a good reason for that, too.</p><p>In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022.

And the stocks of EV-charging network company EVgo(NASDAQ:EVGO)and vehicle electrification company XL Fleet(NYSE:XL)are also on the rise. The stocks had moved as follows as today:Nio shares up 14.76%EVgo shares up 9.08%XL Fleet shares up 7.9%So whatThe thing is, these stocks have very little in common, other than the glaring fact that they all are in the electric vehicle sector. And that tells the story of today's big moves. Though these businesses have not exactly been moving in the same direction, the stock prices have. They are all down significantly in 2021. XL Fleet shares have dropped 59% year to date, while EVgo and Nio stocks are down 37% and 35%, respectively. But the businesses aren't quite as synchronized. Nio's sales are growing quickly, and it announced some exciting plans for next year, including the introduction of its latest EV that it hopes will challenge the Tesla Model 3.Nio told investors it expects to begin deliveries of the new ET5 in the fourth quarter of 2022.Now whatNio is clearly the largest of these stocks, and likely the closest to profitability. With today's move, Nio has a market capitalization of about $52 billion. Compare that to EVgo's valuation of $2.7 billion and XL Fleet at just over $500 million. There's a good reason for that, too.In addition to Nio's new ET5 coming late next year, it will begin selling its new, larger luxury sedan in March 2022. And beyond the ET5 and larger ET7, Nio has said it plans a third new offering next year. That may come from a collaboration with the largest automotive company in China, but it has yet to be officially announced.Nio is also continuing to move outside of China as it expands the growth it began in Europe in 2021.

The event, which Apple has titled "Wonderlust," will focus on updating some of its existing product lineup, most importantly the iPhone.</p><p>The Apple event, beginning at 1 p.m. EDT, is also expected to launch new versions of its Apple Watch, but most of the attention will likely be going toward the iPhone. The presentation will be streamed on Apple's website and on YouTube.</p><p>There likely will be four new iPhones, two base models and two higher-priced Pro versions, analysts familiar with the company's supply chain expect. The latest and most advanced features of the new iPhones -- expected to be called the iPhone 15 -- will reside mostly with the Pro segment, as has been the case for several years now.</p><p>Apple isn't expected to unveil any new types of hardware categories at the event. Apple in June introduced the Apple Vision Pro, a virtual-reality headset that allows users to view digital content in their physical spaces. That product isn't shipping to customers until next year.</p><p>Although Apple has been quickly trying to diversify its business over the past few years, the iPhone still accounts for around half of its overall sales. Apple is looking to turn around its slipping iPhone business. In the most recently reported quarter ended July 1, iPhone revenue declined 2.4% to $39.7 billion, missing analysts' estimates.</p><p>Apple is also facing more pressure in China, its third-largest market. The Chinese authorities in recent weeks have asked government employees to not use iPhones for work, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Huawei Technologies also introduced a new phone that will give Apple more competition in the high end of the Chinese smartphone market, where Apple currently dominates. In the coming year, analysts expect the combo of the two events will eat into Apple's China business.</p><p>Here are five things to watch for as Apple unveils its next iPhone, according to analysts.</p><h2 id=\"id_3137487479\">1. USB-C</h2><p>Both the Pro and base models of the iPhone 15 are expected to transition to a new connector port, moving away from its proprietary Lightning connector that has been in use since 2012 with the iPhone 5. Apple will at last be embracing USB-C, a common connector standard found in many consumer electronics, including rival Android phones.</p><p>With the move to USB-C, Apple is complying with European Union legislation that the company previously opposed. "Obviously, we'll have to comply," Greg Joswiak, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at The Wall Street Journal's Tech Live conference last year.</p><h2 id=\"id_452050455\">2. Price</h2><p>The smartphone market has slowed down in recent years, and Apple has responded by trying to entice buyers to buy its more premium segment Pro iPhones. Up until recently, the strategy has worked well, with booming sales and profit.</p><p>But Apple's iPhone business is slowing again, so now the company is expected to see how far it can push this strategy. Analysts are expecting the Pro lineup of the iPhone 15 could increase prices by $100 or potentially even $200. Last year's iPhone 14 Pro started at $999, and the larger Pro Max began at $1,099.</p><h2 id=\"id_2324812886\">3. Satellite</h2><p>A popular feature to come out of last year's iPhone 14 was the added functionality of satellite communication. The feature has been limited for now, with satellite connectivity only being used for sending messages to emergency services when the user is outside of cellular wireless coverage.</p><p>Many in the industry are waiting to see if Apple expands those satellite capabilities. Apple's main China competitor, Huawei, launched a phone last week that advertised the ability for users to make calls, not just messages, in areas without traditional mobile coverage.</p><h2 id=\"id_2185930787\">4. Chipset</h2><p>The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to be powered with a new custom chipset designed in-house by Apple engineers and manufactured on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's latest 3-nanometer chip fabrication process.

The iPhone 14 comes in four models: the basic iPhone 14, a "supersized" (Apple's word) version called the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The basic starts at $799, the Plus starts at $899, the Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099.</p><p>All four models boast more advanced front and back cameras and safety features that can detect whether you've been in a car crash and help you call 911, even if you're in an isolated area with limited cell service. The 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has "the best battery life ever in an iPhone," the company said.</p><p>All told, the iPhone 14 models "have incredible new features that will help our users in meaningful ways," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at Wednesday's unveiling.</p><p>How meaningful those upgrades really are remains to be seen. But there's no denying that the birth of the iPhone 15 years ago marked the beginning of a new, more intimate relationship between humans and their phones. Some might say that connection has morphed into codependency; people can't seem to function without their smartphones.</p><p>Is now the time to take that relationship to the next level and get a new iPhone?</p><h2>Why it matters</h2><p>"I think keeping the price at $799 was a brilliant move on Apple's part," said Charles Lindsey, associate professor of Marketing, University at Buffalo School of Management a professor at the University at Buffalo. "By not raising the price, they will not only capture early sales from the Apple innovators/early adopters (who typically buy new versions as soon as possible) but they will also pull in/convert your more mainstream users (who are typically slower to upgrade)."</p><p>The iPhone 14 comes in "stunning" colors including deep purple and starlight. Those pretty hues contrast with some gloomy economic data in the U.S: Record-high inflation has pushed Americans' cost of living way up, home prices and rents have soared, and credit card debt has piled up as pandemic-related government relief has receded. The labor market remains extremely tight, but some companies have been laying off employees or freezing hiring.</p><p>All of that may make consumers skittish about shelling out close to $1,000 on a phone. Which may explain Apple's decision to keep the base price of the iPhone 14 exactly the same as the starting price for the iPhone 13, unveiled in 2021.</p><p>The price isn't the only thing that didn't budge.</p><p>"The base iPhone 14 model is actually almost identical to the 13," said Melanie Pinola, a senior writer and editor on the smartphone beat at Consumer Reports.</p><p>Based on what Pinola saw at Wednesday's unveiling, it appears that the iPhone 14 has the same display, processor, overall design and the same battery as the 13. "If you have a 13, I don't know if I would switch to a 14 this year," Pinola said. "There are small improvements with the 14, but I wouldn't say I would rush out right now."</p><p>The most notable change among the iPhone 14 models is the new larger version, the iPhone 14 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, which is similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S22, Pinola said. "This is the first time that Apple has ever made a large screen phone under $1,000, so it's more accessible for people who want a larger phone," Pinola told MarketWatch.</p><h2>The verdict</h2><p>Skip the iPhone 14, unless your existing phone is on life support. "If you're not able to get security or software updates, it's definitely time to get a new phone," Pinola said.</p><h2>My reasons</h2><p>Tech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule. But should Apple dictate when you spend money? Maybe that's how it became one of the world's most profitable companies. But blindly following Apple's marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.</p><h2>Is my verdict best for you?</h2><p>On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom's Guide.</p><p>"People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade," Michaels told MarketWatch. "And given Apple's track record of lengthy software support -- iOS 16 works fine on phones released five years ago -- it's easy to hold onto your current iPhone for a long time."</p><p>"That said, if you've got an iPhone 11 or earlier, you will definitely notice an improvement in performance, even with the A15 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 as opposed to the more advanced A16 Bionic powering the Pro models. Cameras figure to produce better results, too, though testing Apple's new phones will confirm that. Because Apple held the pricing at iPhone 13 levels despite the rumors of price hikes, an upgrade is even easier to justify," Michaels said.</p><p>Another possible incentive to upgrade: deals available through Apple can cut up to $800 off the price tag of the iPhone 14, and major mobile phone carriers including AT&T <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">$(T)$</a>, T-Mobile <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">$(TMUS)$</a> and Verizon <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VZ\">$(VZ)$</a>, are offering discounts as well.</p><p>If you're trying to decide whether to upgrade, don't forget about the value of your existing phone, said Josh Lowitz co-founder of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, publisher of the upcoming CIRP-Apple report on Substack.</p><p>"Used iPhones have real value, as trade-ins or hand-me-downs to family or friends," Lowitz said. "Our data shows that about half of new iPhone buyers trade-in or sell their old phone, and more than a third of those who monetize their old phone, report that it was worth more than $300."</p><p>Retail promotions, including enhanced trade-in offers, can reduce the cost of ownership further, he noted.</p><p>Another key point: mobile carriers are offering longer payment plans. In the past, phone purchases were generally broken up into 24 or even 18 or 20 payments. Now, 30 and 36 monthly payment plans are common, Lowitz said.</p><p>"That reduces the monthly outlay, though it postpones the relief of making that final payment, and the new phone buyer needs to be confident that their phone will serve them that long.

The iPhone 14 comes in four models: the basic iPhone 14, a "supersized" (Apple's word) version called the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The basic starts at $799, the Plus starts at $899, the Pro starts at $999 and the Pro Max starts at $1,099.</p><p>All four models boast more advanced front and back cameras and safety features that can detect whether you've been in a car crash and help you call 911, even if you're in an isolated area with limited cell service. The 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus has "the best battery life ever in an iPhone," the company said.</p><p>All told, the iPhone 14 models "have incredible new features that will help our users in meaningful ways," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said at Wednesday's unveiling.</p><p>How meaningful those upgrades really are remains to be seen.

"By not raising the price, they will not only capture early sales from the Apple innovators/early adopters (who typically buy new versions as soon as possible) but they will also pull in/convert your more mainstream users (who are typically slower to upgrade)."</p><p>The iPhone 14 comes in "stunning" colors including deep purple and starlight. Those pretty hues contrast with some gloomy economic data in the U.S: Record-high inflation has pushed Americans' cost of living way up, home prices and rents have soared, and credit card debt has piled up as pandemic-related government relief has receded. The labor market remains extremely tight, but some companies have been laying off employees or freezing hiring.</p><p>All of that may make consumers skittish about shelling out close to $1,000 on a phone.

"If you have a 13, I don't know if I would switch to a 14 this year," Pinola said. "There are small improvements with the 14, but I wouldn't say I would rush out right now."</p><p>The most notable change among the iPhone 14 models is the new larger version, the iPhone 14 Plus, with a 6.7-inch display, which is similar in size to the Samsung Galaxy S22, Pinola said. "This is the first time that Apple has ever made a large screen phone under $1,000, so it's more accessible for people who want a larger phone," Pinola told MarketWatch.</p><h2>The verdict</h2><p>Skip the iPhone 14, unless your existing phone is on life support. "If you're not able to get security or software updates, it's definitely time to get a new phone," Pinola said.</p><h2>My reasons</h2><p>Tech companies have trained us to line up for new products on their schedule. But should Apple dictate when you spend money? Maybe that's how it became one of the world's most profitable companies. But blindly following Apple's marching orders is not how you will become the most profitable version of yourself.</p><h2>Is my verdict best for you?</h2><p>On the other hand, the fact that Apple kept the starting price the same on the iPhone 14 could make an upgrade easier to swallow, said Philip Michaels, U.S. managing editor at the product review site Tom's Guide.</p><p>"People who bought the iPhone 13 last year are probably still very happy with their phones and will have little reason to upgrade," Michaels told MarketWatch.
