Although the iPhone 14 does not differ in design, screen size and processor from last year's iPhone 13, this model has many improvements. So we cannot say that it is the same model as the iPhone 13.
iPhone 14 comes in four models - iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus. Although these models differ in appearance, they have a lot in common.

All four models come in 128GB, 256GB or 512GB of storage. However, it is important to mention that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max additionally have 1 Tb capacity models.
So, as a classic model and Plus, they are more attractive in terms of price, but if you want a phone with a very large memory, you should choose the Pro models.
Design and colors
Although Apple manufacturers claim that the new iPhone 14 has been updated both inside and out, at first glance it seems to be no different from the older iPhone 13 model.
The design is almost the same as the older versions - the aluminum frame, button layout, stereo speaker grill, Lightning port and even the display look the same.
The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are available in five colors: blue, purple, black, white and red. Meanwhile, iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max - deep purple, gold, silver and space black.

This delivers 4x the resolution of ProRAW for stunning detail and high contrast in every crop. The new Pro camera system zooms 2x, so the optical quality telephoto lens ensures framing capabilities.
Video recordings
All iPhone 14 images can be recorded in 4K resolution at 24 frames per second, the same frame rate you see in movies.
The new "Cinematic" mode allows you to change the focus effect during video. When recording video, this mode automatically changes the focus in real-time when people enter the frame or the eye moves away from the camera. You also have the ability to manually change the focus for more precise focus control. By the way, the front camera also supports cinematic mode.
The latest iPhone 14 Pro also features Action Mode, which takes image stabilization to an unprecedented level. Even if you shoot the desired subject while running, the final result will look as smooth as if it was filmed with a professional image stabilizer.
