Should you buy it?

While the iPhone 14 is available at a discounted price in India, ahead of iPhone 15 launch, the offer presents isn’t exactly a lucrative one for the buyers. The iPhone 14 comes with A15 Bionic chipset. It is the same chipset that made a debut with the iPhone 13 Pro series devices in 2021. Also, it offers minor upgrades over the iPhone 13 Pro. If you are planning to buy a new iPhone, you should either wait for discounts on the iPhone 14 Pro with A16 Bionic chipset or the iPhone 15, which is also likely to come with the same chipset with minor tweaks.
