What’s the most you can spend on an iPhone 14?

Apple opened pre-orders for its new iPhone 14 handsets at the end of last week, with shipping set to start on most versions this Friday (the iPhone 14 Plus lands on October 7).

So, diamond-encrusted and gold-plated iPhones aside, what’s the most cash you can splash on an iPhone 14?

The priciest iPhone 14 is the 6.7-inch Pro Max version. Featuring all of the bells and whistles, as well as the largest display in the range, you only have to make a couple of choices when buying the iPhone 14 Pro Max: color and storage size.

Thankfully, selecting the phone’s color from among the Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black options adds nothing to the cost of the device. Storage, however, is another matter altogether.

The base iPhone 14 Pro Max comes with 128GB of storage and costs $1,099. Double the storage to 256GB and you’re looking at an extra 100 bucks, while doubling it again pushes the price to $1,399.

But if you choose to max out the storage at 1TB, you’ll have to hand over $1,599 — the most you can pay for one of Apple’s new iPhones.

That’s the same price customers were paying for the most expensive iPhone 13 last year, at least if it was purchased in the U.S. This time around, economic conditions have prompted Apple to up the price of its new phone in some of its other markets. In the U.K., for example, the maxed-out iPhone 14 Pro Max costs an eye-watering 1,749 British pounds, 300 more than the iPhone 13 Pro Max when it launched last year. This makes it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold in the U.K.

And this extra cost, among others issues, is causing some U.K-based shoppers to steer away from Apple’s larger Pro device.

Thankfully, there are various ways to ease the payment pain. Selling or trading in your old phone — whether an iPhone or another device — is the obvious way to lower the cost of a new handset. For iPhone customers, the simplest way to do this is through Apple, though you’ll likely get more cash if you sell it yourself or go through a service like Decluttr or Gazelle.

Apple also offers an interest-free monthly payment plan so you can spread the cost and avoid the stress of seeing such a massive dent suddenly appear in your bank balance.

Of course, if you want to get your hands on Apple’s newest phone but would rather not empty your wallet, the iPhone 14, with 128GB of storage, starts at a far more reasonable $799. But take note, it doesn’t include the much-talked-about Dynamic Island, and, as you’d expect, features less impressive specs.

As great as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are, they're both already a few months old at this point, and the rumors about the iPhone 15 are well underway. We still have several months before the iPhone 15 models drop, though, as Apple usually makes iPhone announcements in the fall. In other words, there's still a lot of time for rumors to circulate around the internet.

We're keeping all of the reports and rumors of the iPhone 15 here in a single place for your convenience, but do remember to keep in mind that these are all still just speculation. Nothing is final until Apple confirms it during an official announcement. Still, a lot of the rumors give us an idea of what to expect each year, which is unfortunate if you like surprises. Here's everything we know of the iPhone 15 so far!

These Android apps are spying on you — and there’s no easy way to stop them
Illustration of a giant eye stalking through a phone

Android’s security woes need no introduction, but another threat that hasn’t received its fair share of awareness relates to spyware and stalkerware apps. These apps can secretly be installed on a victim’s phone to monitor their activity and can be exploited to harass victims of domestic abuse and engage in online stalking. All someone needs is physical access to the victim's phone to install these apps, which is not too difficult in cases of domestic abuse.

Call it an app-fueled version of AirTag stalking, but on steroids, because these spyware apps can steal everything including messages, call logs, emails, photos, and videos. Some can even activate the microphone and the camera, and secretly transfer these recordings to a remote server where the abuser can access it. Since Google Play's policies don't allow stalking apps, these apps are sold via third-party websites and need to be sideloaded.

Buying a new smartphone is always a gamble in terms of customer satisfaction — mainly because they cost so much and can be so different from the device that the buyer is currently using.

To combat this, OnePlus is giving customers the chance to try the OnePlus 11 entirely risk-free. Starting today, the company is running the "100 Days No Regret" program, which allows OnePlus 11 buyers to use the new flagship for up to 100 days and still be eligible to return it for a full refund.
