I don’t own, nor have I ever owned, an iPhone, but as I understand it from talking to family members who are into this product, the problem with the basic iphone 14 and 14+ is that Apple cheaped out and only made minimal improvements over the 13 models. The 14 pro made an improvement in the “notch” at the top center of the screen that signaled the direction Apple is going with the product, but in doing so they contributed to making the basic 14/14+ seem like an outdated rehash of the 13.
I think the 15 will have MUCH better zoom, the improved stabilization from the 14, as well as the improvements in chips (and the new bigger batteries?).
I may be looking at the 15.
If they have a full-featured mini+, I’ll buy one. Almost for sure.
