Why you should buy the iPhone 14

The yearly iPhone event is interesting in that it always sparks a worldwide decision-making frenzy as consumers choose whether or not to purchase a new phone. Even while every purchase is personal (and a phone you carry with you constantly is especially so), there are a few things you might want to think about before making a purchase.

Here are six reasons you should buy the iPhone 14

1. Some individuals purchase cutting-edge technology simply because it is cutting-edge. More power to you if you can afford to make such purchases. But if you’re overspending on something merely for the sake of bragging rights, you might want to think about if there are other, more compelling reasons to buy it. Remember that the majority of iPhones seem quite similar to those from the previous generation, so even if you carry your phone without a case, most people won’t be able to determine which iPhone you have.

2. Every model year, iPhones often receive spec upgrades and better CPUs in order to gain one or more new features. The basic iPhone 14 models, on the other hand, are anticipated to retain the A15 Bionic CPU from last year and the identical 12-megapixel rear camera as the iPhone 13 devices this year.

However, if you desperately want a feature, like the always-on screen functionality that will be included in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, then you might want to consider upgrading. An enhanced camera in the higher-end models of iPhones is the particular feature most likely to provide consumers with a cause to upgrade. If taking pictures is your thing, Apple has consistently improved the quality and functionality of its cameras each year, so it could be worth forking over the cash.

3. To change size

Consider switching to a new iPhone that is smaller if you have been carrying a bulky iPhone Pro Max that is too big for your hands or pockets. However, because the rumor mills believe there won’t be a tiny model this year, don’t plan to upgrade to an iPhone 14 mini. The third-generation, somewhat smaller iPhone SE is also not expected to fare well.

You might wish to upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro Max if you’ve been using a smaller screen and want more screen space, either because your eyes require larger simply because you want extra screen space or for text and icons (in scaled mode). This will give you that extra pixel abbondanza on your display.

4. As late as the iPhone 12, Apple marketed base-level iPhones with just 64GB of storage. Not until the release of the iPhone 13 last year were entry-level iPhones upgraded to 128GB. That suffices for some folks. However, 128GB might soon fill up if you start to record a lot of videos or shoot a lot of photos.

Although there are many compromises, the iPhone does include options for managing images on phones with less storage. You may eventually need additional storage space if you want all of your files and photographs on your phone instead of relying on iCloud to download them when you need them. And that’s a valid excuse to get a new iPhone.

5. To avoid becoming obsolete

Products made with technology are not stand-alone machines. They are intricate systems in and of themselves, a component of far more intricate ecosystems. The complexity of iPhones (and other cell phones) is among the highest. Consider this. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, LTE, 5G, and—possibly to be unveiled next week—some degree of satellite communications capacity are all features of the current iPhone. All of those networking protocols are evolving quickly and becoming more powerful and capable.

Older gadgets eventually lose their ability to function on newer networks. Earlier networks are being decommissioned. Apps want fresh features. Hackers create vulnerabilities in outdated programs, etc. The phone just gets too old to accomplish much, and what it can do is frequently laborious and perhaps dangerous.

6. Give up your present phone

You might want to think about giving your existing phone to a family member who needs one and purchasing a new one for yourself if that individual needs a phone. Perhaps you require (or at least wish to utilize) a new phone’s enhanced performance or new capabilities, but the recipient of your gift only requires more fundamental functions.

Whatever the specific cause, there are instances when it makes sense to buy a new phone for yourself and gift your old one to a friend.
