light it doesn't have a ridiculous camera bump for pictures I don't take I think the wider Notch looks better on it and it's the perfect size I always thought the original five generations of iPhone screens to be just a little too narrow and the 4.7 in screen that came after to be a little too big the iPhone 12 mini is right in between Goldilocks me finally got their perfect phone what worries me though is with the 14th generation iPhone Apple is reversing course and committing to big and that's a big deal no it's a it's a bad deal I'm willing to can see that I'm a minority here after the launch of the iPhone 12 and 13 mini models stoys were emerging that production had to be cut due to unsatisfactory sales volume thereby justifying the inevitable end of this form factor people like bigger phones for instance I was trying to find a good deal on a used iPhone for a friend almost a year ago I managed to find her a brand new 12 mini on Craigslist turns out this seller had bought it for his wife but she didn't like how small it is his loss our game and now we'd have to take an even bigger hit with the plus because the price it costs $900 $100 more than the base iPhone 14 but crucially it's only $100 less than the iPhone 14 pro all you gain compared to the 14 is a bigger screen and a bigger battery with the plus phones in the 6 and 6s Generations though you also got Optical image stabilization with the 7 and8 plus you got a whole other camera plus more RAM but for another $100 to jump to the for te Pro you get the suite of advanced cameras Dynamic Island brighter

below the iPhone 14 has undergone a major redesign though not that you would notice it still has the 13's narrower Notch diagonal camera Arrangement and a15 Chip sure on the outside there are two new baby colors but the differences are actually much more than Skin Deep the back glass and I can't believe I'm saying this is actually replaceable it's the first point of entry into the phone in a tear down iix it found that Apple actually went through great effort re-engineering the iPhone 14 improving the repairability back to a 7 out of 10 and reducing the cost to replace the back glass by triple digits so while you would have no idea looking at it you might well appreciate it the other improvements include a slightly wider aperture on the main camera and the implementation of the photonic engine I'd say that this makes the camera ever so slightly better than the iPhone 13 but after using this and the 14 pro it's clear that apple is adding a lot of sharpening to their photos it clearly makes the photos you take pop but the 14's photos don't pop significantly over a 13 The Wider aperture is really going to help when things are darker if you do care about still photos I should note
