Background
The iPhone 14 was announced on September 7th, 2022 alongside its brothers and sisters the Plus, Pro and Pro Max, and released on September 16th, It features the A15 Bionic chip but with a 5-core GPU.
While the international model accepts both a physical SIM card and eSIM, the US version got away with the SIM card reader and only supports eSIM (dual e-SIM). The new feature Emergency SOS via satellite is only available in the US and Canada.
Repairability
iFixit initially awarded the iPhone 14 a 7/10 repairability score, making it one of the highest-scoring iPhones ever, due to its innovative repair-friendly design. However, after receiving extensive feedback from the repair community, iFixit downrated the score to 4/10 in September 2023.

The iPhone 14 features a 6.1 in (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, and a notch at the top of the screen to accommodate a speaker and selfie camera. The back cover is glass and the edge frame is made from flat anodized aluminum.
Volume controls can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A rectangular camera "bump" containing two diagonally-aligned cameras protrudes slightly from the back case. This model has no home button.
The iPhone 14 can be differentiated from the iPhone 13 by the lack of a SIM tray (for US models only).
