This is the best early Apple Prime Day deal (so far)
If you’re considering a phone upgrade, look no further than this saving on an Apple iPhone. While it’s not the newest iPhone, the base iPhone 14 currently has 14 per cent off, thanks to Amazon.
“This is a fast and attractive smartphone, with Apple’s excellent design and build quality, boasting now-routine features, such as water resistance and strong screen, and a significantly improved camera,” our writer said in their review. “The iPhone 14’s internal upgrades, from camera to crash detection, are pretty extraordinary, all for a price less than the iPhone 13 pro, with which it shares the same processor.”
