[Deal du Jour] The iPhone 14 is the standard version of Apple’s latest smartphone. Its sale price on its release was something to put off, and it did not really benefit from a good value for money. In promotion, at less than 850 €, it immediately becomes more interesting.
What is the promotion on the iPhone 14?
The iPhone 14, 128 GB Starlight model, is sold on the official Apple website for €1,019. It is currently offered at a price of 839 € on Amazon.
What is this iPhone 14?
The standard iPhone 14 model is an excellent smartphone, despite some concessions from Apple to reduce its price and make it affordable to a wide audience. Its dimensions of 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.8 mm and its weight of less than 180 g make it a compact smartphone that is easy to hold, even with one hand. The side buttons are used to turn on the smartphone, adjust the volume and activate silent mode. They are judiciously placed, and the smartphone is rather ergonomic. The iPhone 14 has excellent finishes, with well-integrated buttons, and a design that inspires quality. It is also IP68 certified and withstands brief immersion in water.
The OLED Super Retina panel has a resolution of 2532 × 1170 pixels, for a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz. A somewhat disappointing performance, below what other smartphones in the same price range offer. You can also consult our guide to the best smartphones in 2023 to locate the iPhone 14. The screen is still very good, with good brightness and few reflections. Readability is optimal and adapts to ambient light. Too bad the Dynamic Island, which finally makes the screen notch useful, is reserved for the Pro and Pro Max models.
Is the iPhone 14 interesting in promotion?
For those who want to get the latest iPhone, this is a good opportunity. It’s the right price for a quality smartphone that is also not the best in its range. Fortunately, the iPhone 14 has many qualities, especially as a photophone. Without equaling Samsung, its main sensor of 12 Mpix, and its secondary sensor of 12 Mpx allow quality photos and videos. By day, the shots are superb with many details, the same for the videos. At night, the whole thing lacks a little sharpness, but still remains usable and far from first-price smartphones. The iPhone 14 can also film in 4K HDR, Dolby Vision, and at 60 fps. Enough to film beautiful holiday videos.
In addition, the Apple smartphone easily lasts 20 hours of use, in the case of moderate or normal use, less in the case of intensive use. Rest assured, even if you use it a lot, it will still last a good day. It’s better than most of its competitors. It recharges via a Lightning port, in less than 2 hours. Finally, the iPhone 14 embeds the A15 Bionic chip, already present in the iPhone 13. It is able to run demanding games, and to run several applications at the same time without slowdowns.
