    Sell Your iPhone 14

    The iPhone 14 launched in September 2022 as the standard 6.1-inch model in the iPhone 14 line. It reused the A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13 Pro but introduced Crash Detection, Emergency SOS via Satellite (rolled out to the UK in stages) and an improved main camera. It's a steady seller on the second-hand market.

    Identify your iPhone 14

    The iPhone 14 looks very similar to the iPhone 13 from the front — same notch, same 6.1-inch flat-edge design — but launched in new colours including a vivid blue and a yellow added in 2023. Settings → General → About confirms 'iPhone 14'.

    • Display: 6.1-inch OLED, 60Hz (no ProMotion)
    • Notch: same Face ID notch as iPhone 13 (Dynamic Island was Pro-only)
    • Rear cameras: dual 12MP, diagonal layout
    • Connector: Lightning
    • Original colours: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, (PRODUCT)RED, plus Yellow added in 2023

    Storage variants accepted

    128GB256GB512GB

    Same three storage tiers as the iPhone 13. The 256GB tier is the sweet spot for resale demand.

    Where the iPhone 14 sits in its generation

    Standard model in the iPhone 14 line, alongside the new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus (which replaced the discontinued mini). Pro tier features — Dynamic Island, A16, 48MP main camera, Always-On display — were withheld for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

    How the iPhone 14 compares to neighbouring models

    Versus the iPhone 13: same chip, similar cameras, adds Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite, slightly better battery life. Versus the iPhone 14 Plus: identical internals, smaller display, smaller battery. Versus the iPhone 14 Pro: no Dynamic Island, no A16, no Always-On display, no 48MP main camera.

    Condition factors specific to the iPhone 14

    • Same flat-edge aluminium chassis as iPhone 13 — similar edge-ding pattern
    • Diagonal camera glass — check both lenses
    • 60Hz OLED can show burn-in on heavy always-on / navigation use
    • Newer cases are still common, so the body underneath is often well-protected

    Screen and casing

    6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, 60Hz. Replacement assembly cost is similar to the iPhone 13.

    Battery condition

    Battery Health check applies as on any iPhone. Most 14s sit in the high-80s to mid-90s after a couple of years; many are still in the 90%+ range.

    Cameras and biometrics

    Dual 12MP wide + ultrawide. The main camera was upgraded versus the iPhone 13 with a larger sensor and faster aperture. TrueDepth Face ID camera at the front.

    Charging port

    Lightning — the iPhone 14 was the last standard iPhone to use it before the iPhone 15 switched to USB-C.

    Account & activation lock

    Activation Lock must be removed before a full-value sale. Sign out of iCloud (Settings → your name → Sign Out) and disable Find My iPhone, then optionally factory reset via Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone. A locked device can only be valued for parts.

    Network & IMEI status

    Network-unlocked handsets typically attract better offers than carrier-locked equivalents because the buyer pool is wider. UK carriers (EE, O2, Vodafone, Three, Tesco Mobile) are required to unlock free of charge on request. Every device is IMEI-checked against the CheckMEND database before purchase.

    Box, charger and accessories

    Shipped without a power adapter, Lightning to USB-C cable included. Original box and cable help the boxed-market offer.

    Working iPhone 14s trade actively. Damaged units (cracked screen, broken back glass, Face ID faults, battery service warning) are still valued; the offer reflects realistic refurb or parts cost.

    Before you request a valuation

    • Sign out of iCloud and disable Find My iPhone
    • Note current Battery Health %
    • Confirm network lock status
    • Bring original box and Lightning cable if you have them
    • Take clear photos of front, back and both sides
    • Confirm storage in Settings → General → About
