Overview

Be aware that this A2882 iPhone 14 supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n26, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This device was intended for carriers almost everywhere—sold in at least 189 countries—but not in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, or a few other nations. It is, however, technically functional with carriers worldwide.


Every iPhone 14 model is equipped with a 6.1-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch "Super Retina XDR" display (2532x1170, 460 ppi) that covers nearly the entire front. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "notch," supports Face ID, has an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a dual-camera system with 12-megapixel, 4K-capable Main (f/1.5 aperture) and Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) cameras. Apple promotes these cameras as featuring a new "Photonic Engine" for better low-light performance. The rear cameras also introduce a new "Action mode" for enhanced motion correction and an improved "Cinematic mode" with simulated depth effect, now supporting 4K (30 fps, 24 fps).


The iPhone 14 has an aluminum case with flat sides and a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Initially offered in five colors—(pale) Blue, (pale) Purple, "Midnight" (black), "Starlight" (warm gray), and (PRODUCT) RED—a sixth color, Yellow, was added on March 7, 2023.


Internally, the iPhone 14 is powered by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with a six-core CPU (two performance, four efficiency), a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve," Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, and both dual eSIMs and a single hardware nano-SIM.


Apple estimates the battery life of the iPhone 14 provides "up to" 80 hours of audio playback, 20 hours of video playback, and 16 hours of streamed video.


While original pricing varied by country, in the UK, this iPhone 14 was initially priced at £849, £959, and £1179 for 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB of storage, respectively. It was also available financed over a two-year contract for £35.37, £39.95, and £49.12 per month.


On September 12, 2023, Apple reduced the price to £699, £799, and £999 if paid upfront, or to £29.12, £33.29, and £41.62 per month on a two-year contract.


Finally, on September 9, 2024, Apple lowered the price to as little as £599, £699, and £899 if paid upfront, or to £24.95, £29.12, and £37.45 per month on a two-year contract.

Evaluation

The iPhone 14 A2882 achieved legendary status as the ultimate global smartphone solution, earning universal acclaim from international technology publications for its unprecedented worldwide compatibility across 189+ countries and territories. European technology reviewers from publications like TechRadar, GSMArena, and The Register consistently praised the device's meticulously engineered 5G band selection that prioritized global sub-6GHz networks over regional mmWave implementations, ensuring seamless connectivity from European capitals to African cities, Indian metros to Latin American markets. The innovative dual eSIM plus physical nano-SIM configuration demonstrated Apple's forward-thinking approach to global connectivity, while the Photonic Engine camera system proved exceptionally versatile across diverse lighting conditions found in different global regions.
