There wasn’t a lot wrong with last year’s Series 6 , so a bigger, better screen and faster charging add to an already winning experience. It is still expensive, even if it is £10 cheaper than last year, and the lack of third-party watch faces means you’re stuck using only those that are built in.

Pros: excellent haptic vibrations, larger and better always-on screen, ECG, top health tracking, great activity tracking, 50m water resistance, solid battery, long software support, recycled aluminium.

Cons: expensive, only works with an iPhone, sleep tracking still not great, blood oxygen data not that useful, no third-party watch faces, not a giant upgrade.

Fast charging as the star feature. The Apple Watch 7 is mainly distinguished by a larger display without much of an increase in the watch size. The Californians have also equipped it with a fast charge function, but this is as far as the improvements for the newest Apple smartwatch go.

bright LTPO OLED, large amount of available apps, extensive heath features, accurate sensors, fast charging

not many improvements compared to the predecessor, fairly short battery life

If you have a Series 6 then you basically already have a Series 7. So if you have an Apple Watch older than a Series 6, and you haven’t been compelled yet to switch, you’ll do just as well to continue waiting.

Faster charging, finally, While largely imperceptible in most conditions, more screen and less bezels are always good, Still the best smartwatch experience by a longshot, QWERTY keyboard text input beats all other modes, New colors! This includes a lighter (better) blue, Supposedly stronger screen

Same one-day battery life, Fitness and health data are too broad and decontextualized to inspire much engagement, It’s essentially a Series 6, The Series 7’s QWERTY keyboard exclusivity is totally unnecessary

Nobody can deny that the Apple Watch won the smartwatch wars, and the latest Apple Watch Series 7 only extends that lead. A collection of endearing enhancements rather than the all-out reinvention that some expected, 2021’s version blends a bigger display with the improvements of watchOS 8 , for a...

Bigger display, Faster charging, On-screen keyboard massively improves text-entry, Improved fitness tracking

Still just 1 day of battery life, Dedicated fitness wearables offer more tracking features

The Apple Watch Series 7 is an excellent smartwatch. It’s not the massive upgrade some were hoping for — but it doesn’t necessarily need to be. The larger display is nice, and I appreciate the efforts Apple is making to improve on charging.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen
