It's an upgrade to an extent.
I upgraded to the 14pro for better battery & the camera. This iPhone has 6gbs of ram the A16 chip, Satellite SOS, & the dynamic island. The dynamic island is a love hate feature, as it is in the way of everything and way more intrusive than the previous notch.
The cameras are better than the previous 12mini & 13 I have owned. However even with extra lenses, and power, the photos look worse than my 13 did 1/2 the time. I am trying to figure out how to make it the best it can be. The battery is actually worse than previous models the only way to make the battery life better is to turn off 120HZ an use 60HZ. Which defeats the purpose of the screen.
So there are some trades off and it's my 1st pro model, so there are some user settings to adjust to. It feels like a huge improvement of what the 12 & 13 line were supposed to be.
My favorites on this is the audio quality, screen brightness outdoors, and just how fast it is.
However the reason I give 3 stars, is I received my iPhone via mail. The screen stopped working after a day, and I had to go to a Verizon store for 3 hours to get a replacement unit. The Verizon staff was lovely, but Apple was very rude.
My 2nd (replacment) 14pro I have I noticed does a screen flicker from time to time. The iPhone 14pro frozen screen or screen not working is a common problem. So is battery life for 8 hours with the always display feature off. There will be more updates to fix this, but just a buyer beware warning.
I say it's an upgrade to an extent as the notch is now a pill that's interactive that takes up more screen. You get better audio, cameras (depends how the phone feels not the conditions) a huge screen improvement (can kill your battery based off settings) It charges faster.
I would say if you're leaning towards upgrading, I would possibly do a 14plus or wait for the 15 series, if I had the option I truly wouldn't have upgraded as it was a pretty bad experience, and I am experiencing screen issues already 3 weeks in to treating this iPhone more carefully than any other.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro in deep purple is a stunning addition to the iPhone lineup. Its sleek design coupled with the vibrant color option makes it stand out from the crowd. The upgraded features, including a powerful processor, improved camera capabilities, and enhanced display technology, ensure a seamless and immersive user experience. The deep purple hue adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the device, appealing to those who appreciate both style and performance. I am an Apple user through and through. Its user friendly tech is not comparable to other phone I think. I have used my husband’s non iPhone and I can’t even hardly type without taking forever. Also, having everything Apple makes worklife and school life soooooo much easier, I can’t even begin to explain. I am able to access absolutely any of my important documents from everywhere as long as I have internet, which is most everywhere these days. Yes, I wish some features were better as all Apple lovers I think but I absolutely love Apple products. Been an avid Apple user since forever.
This iPhone 14 has a beautiful purple case, but with my protector on, you cannot see the purple color. I purchased a cover to protect this very expensive phone. Yes, this phone is expensive, but this is a phone, camera, scanner, and computer all in one. I use to travel with my laptop and now I can use this phone to check my emails and can even do some work things if needed. I have all the necessary apps to get my job functions completed. I love that the phone does not crash and I can do weeks without a reboot. Sometimes I don’t reboot until I get an update. My husband has an iPhone 13 and will continuous use, he can get 3 days on the battery. I can only get 2 days with the iPhone 14. That is very good compared to 1 day with my iPhone XR. I love the bigger screen on this iPhone 14. The camera technology is superior and I am still learning all the features. I love that I can copy/paste from my iPhone, to IPad, to my MAC. Makes productivity so superior to Windows. I love the quick share with AirDrop. I like that I can scan documents with Notes and camera and instantly have a PDF. I scan my receipts and store them for big purchases. Yes, Apple is expensive, but in my opinion the phones are worth it because they just work. And if you have to go to the Apple Store, make an appointment, and they are all very nice employees and willing to assist. And if you are elderly, they are super patient with you. I have watched them help a lady in her 80s and they were very kind and the moment made me smile.
Best upgrade to date!
I'm writing this review because I've been buying the newest iPhone each year for the past four years and this is by far the greatest one I've bought thus far. In the past I kept my iPhones for two or three years to get the most for my money since trading in every year seemed to end up costing more than I wanted to spend. so I went from the iPhone 7 to the the iPhone 11 which I did only because the iPhone 7 was starting to give me problems. After that I started upgrading every year because I took advantage of different programs that saved money and so I ended up spending roughly $1,800.00 total for the last four models I bought. That was for the iPhone 11, the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 13, and now currently the iPhone 14 Pro with 256GB of storage. Not bad paying a total of $1,800.00 when my newest one retails for $1,100.00
That being said this new iPhone 14 Pro is worth every penny that it costs and is by far the best phone Apple has made to date. If you are considering either buying the iPhone 14 or the iPhone 14 pro and are torn between the two, my recommendation is that you spend the extra $100.00 because the differences between the two are worth it. The last phone I bought was the iPhone 13 and I purchased that because I didn't feel I needed the extra camera and the non pro model seemed to suit me just fine. Now think about having the 48 megapixel camera on the 14 Pro verses the 12 megapixel that's on the iPhone 14, and it doesn't make sense to purchase anything other than the Pro. You also get ProRes video on the Pro model which is worth considering as well, and something that I don't believe is available on the non Pro model. The Dynamic Island is also something that's only available on the Pro and it's pretty cool. The chip is better on the Pro model as well, going with the new A16 Bionic chip verses the A15 Bionic chip that was on last years iPhone 13 Pro. Between the two models this year, the Pro model also has better battery life.
Other than these features, the two phones are identical but the one feature that makes going into the Pro worth the extra money over all the other features is the 48 megapixel camera and getting the Telephoto lens on top of it. It takes photos in 48 megapixels using any of the three lenses.
I've been using the iPhone 14 Pro for two weeks now and the photos that it takes are amazing. I like a lot of detail in my pictures and this new iPhone hasn't disappointed me at all. The camera has had a nice improvement also in night mode over the camera in the iPhone 13. All in all I must say that Apple has finally made a significant change this year and it's worth upgrading even if you are going from last years model. I know that I can finally wait two or three years now before upgrading again because this new phone is way ahead of any phones that Apple has made in the past.
