iPhone 15 introduces Dynamic Island while iPhone 14 retains the aging notch, plus iPhone 15 has rounder edges and 2000-nit peak brightness versus iPhone 14's 1200-nit display
iPhone 15's 48MP main camera with 2x zoom destroys iPhone 14's 12MP system, inheriting the same sensor from last year's Pro models
iPhone 15 runs the A16 Bionic from iPhone 14 Pro while iPhone 14 uses recycled A15 Bionic - both fast but A16 scores 6,551 vs 4,994 on Galaxy S23
iPhone 15's USB-C is a massive upgrade over iPhone 14's Lightning, though data speeds remain at USB 2.0 480Mbps on standard models
iPhone 14 now starts at £236 refurbished vs iPhone 15's £799 new price - the £563 difference is hard to justify for most users
Both phones deliver similar real-world battery life with iPhone 15 rated for 20 hours video playback, matching iPhone 14's endurance despite brighter display
The iPhone 15 is a significant upgrade with its 48MP camera, Dynamic Island, and USB-C port making it feel genuinely modern compared to iPhone 14's aging design. However, at £799 new versus iPhone 14's £236 refurbished price, the value equation strongly favors the older model unless you specifically need the camera improvements.
Also worth considering

Offers 6GB RAM, telephoto camera, and ProMotion 120Hz display for similar money to iPhone 14, making it a superior alternative
