iPhone 14 review: familiar design but now easier to repair

Same performance and battery of predecessors with better camera and significant changes on the inside

On the surface, the iPhone 14 looks like a very minor upgrade. But a redesigned inside makes it easier and cheaper to repair, marking a major shift in the right direction for Apple.

Weak currency rates against the dollar mean the new iPhone is 70 (A$50) more expensive than its predecessor, priced at 849 (A$1,399) despite costing the same $799 in the US. It is an unfortunately familiar story for all of Apple's current products, and likely others to be released this year.
