How much does the iPhone 14 cost in Australia?
Prices for the iPhone 14 lineup in Australia start at $1,049 and go all the way up to $2,886.
Here's a rundown of what pricing looks like for the 4 models across all available storage capacity variants.
The cheapest way to get the iPhone 14 on a plan is to sign up with Vodafone.
The repayment cost of your iPhone itself may be the same across all providers but the key difference is when you add on a SIM only plan.
Out of the 3 major telcos, Vodafone's SIM only plans are the cheapest around followed by Optus and then Telstra.
The main caveat is its coverage can be spotty for those in rural and regional areas and some metro areas so just make sure Vodafone is the right option for you before signing up for a 12, 24 or 36-month phone plan.
Is there an alternative? You could also get an iPhone on a lease via a subscription plan from numobile which can work out to be slightly cheaper but you'll need to return it after 24 or 36 months.
How do I choose the best iPhone 14 plan?
There's no one size fits all answer to this, but here's a step-by-step guide to get you started.
Price and discounts
Consider how much it'll cost to pair your iPhone 14 model of choice with a mobile plan from either Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. Look for any discounts that the telcos might be slinging when you're doing your research.
Choosing the right provider
Choose a provider that offers you the most benefit. Is the amount of data you're getting enough for how much you'll end up paying? Think about other perks as well. For example, Optus gives you the option to subscribe to Optus Sport for cheaper. Vodafone's $5 roaming add-on is a solid option for frequent travellers. Telstra offers the best network coverage out of the lot.
Decide on a plan length
You can choose to pay off the cost of your phone over 12, 24 or 36 months. Paying it off earlier means you are free to switch to a cheaper mobile plan with another provider. However, it's always best to stick to a plan length that best fits your monthly budget.

iPhone 14 features
Over the last few years, Apple's given us a range of colours that we've become quite familiar with but for the iPhone 14 it threw in a couple of surprises.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus come in Blue, Purple, Midnight, Starlight and (PRODUCT) Red.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max can be bought in Deep Purple, Gold, Silver and Space Black.
Camera
Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus come with dual cameras - a 12MP main wide-angle and a 12MP ultra wide-angle lens. The selfie camera's also received an upgrade to feature autofocus.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is where the action's at and where we've seen the biggest improvements from Apple.
You'll find a trio of lenses covering wide, ultra-wide and a 3x telephoto camera for portraits and optical zoom. However, it's the 48MP sensor that really hits the mark and can get your sharper and brighter photos.
Size
Here's a rundown of the display size and weight of the iPhone 14 models.
iPhone 14: 6.1 inches, 172g
iPhone 14 Plus: 6.7 inches, 203g
iPhone 14 Pro: 6.1 inches, 206g
iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6.7 inches, 240g
Battery
Apple claims the iPhone 14 to have its best battery yet, estimating up to 20 hours of video playback, 16 hours of streaming video playback and 80 hours of audio playback.
It doesn't ever announce actual battery capacities for the iPhone 14.
Finder's battery test runs suggest that using the iPhone 14 for the full day is possible but may be a stretch if you're using your phone heavily through the day.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
