Apple’s iPhone 14 lineup is now in the wild, consisting of the base iPhone 14, and the faster, more capable iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The slightly bigger iPhone 14 Plus will release in October. Each of those links will take you to either a full review or a hands-on preview. Is Apple’s A16 Bionic chip worth upgrading to? Do you want to pay more to get the Dynamic Island notch experience? Check out our reviews to see what our staff though.

If you already know that you want to buy one, here are the straight details: these phones just released today, Friday, September 16th, with one exception. That’s the iPhone 14 Plus, which comes out on October 7th. If you’re thinking about buying the iPhone 14 (or, heck, all four varieties — follow your bliss), we’ve listed out some retailer links, along with retailer and carrier promotions that seem worthwhile.

Where to buy the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus

The iPhone 14 is available to buy through Apple, Walmart, and Best Buy starting at $799 for the 128GB model. Going up to 256GB adds $100, while it’s $1,099 to get one with 512GB of storage.

Where to order the iPhone 14 Pro

You can snag the iPhone 14 Pro with 128GB of storage for $999 at Apple, Walmart, or Best Buy. There are more storage configurations available with this model, going up to 1TB, which costs $1,499.

The iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with the same 6.1-inch display as the standard iPhone, but has a more impressive 48MP main camera and is equipped with Apple’s A16 Bionic CPU. The Pro also features the Dynamic Island, which reclaims the divisive notch by adding a variety of adaptive functions to the top edge of the display.

Where to buy the iPhone 14 Pro Max

Similar to the smaller iPhone 14 Pro, the larger iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at 128GB of storage and can go up to 1TB. Costs, however, aren’t the same due to the size difference. This model starts at $1,099, at both Apple, Walmart, and Best Buy, going up to $1,599. The Pro Max is also available at Walmart in installments starting at $29.14 a month for existing AT&T and Verizon customers.

$1099

The flagship entry of the iPhone 14 lineup, the 14 Pro Max, retains the camera and CPU improvements of the Pro model, but has a larger, 6.7-inch display and, most importantly, the Dynamic Island. The Pro Max is available with storage options starting at 128GB, all the way up to 1TB.
