If you’re looking for an upgrade on your business mobile phone in 2023, then Apple’s latest range of iPhone 14 smartphones could be the ideal choice.
Whether you’re a die hard Apple fan looking for the latest model, or are an Android user on the fence about switching to a more user friendly model, there’ll be an iPhone 14 model to choose from.
As usual, Apple has developed 4 ranges in the iPhone 14 collection:
- iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus

There are similarities between each model and upgrades to everything from the base Operating System, to the processor, battery life and – as you’d expect with an upgraded iPhone – the camera.

Choosing the best iPhone 14 for business
Best iPhone 14 for budget
If you’re simply looking for an upgrade from the iPhone 13 or earlier models and aren’t necessarily looking for an all singing all dancing phone, the base iPhone 14 is a great choice.
It’s 6.1inch Super Retina XDR display, 5G connection and A15 bionic processor mean it’s a highly reliable business mobile phone and will allow you to check emails, review documents and multitask on projects with no problems – without relying on unsecure public wifi.
The base iPhone has many of the same features as the iPhone 14 Plus.
Both come with the same higher capacity level of 512GB, both operate as standard with iOS 16, and both feature Apple’s fast A15 bionic chip and have the same camera specs.
The main difference is with the screen size, with the iPhone 14 Plus having a larger 6.7inch display, compared to the iPhone 14’s 6.1 inch display.
If multimedia viewing is also a consideration, the iPhone 14 Plus does support longer viewing with 26 hours of playback compared to the 20 hours offered by the iPhone 14.
Depending on your budget and if you’re considering the iPhone 14 Plus, you might want to consider upgrading one more to the iPhone 15 Pro, which gives you more storage and also features Apple’s fastest A16 bionic chip.
Best iPhone 14
If you are looking for something for more of a power house, then the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the unquestioned winner.
Apple has kept up with its pledge of providing the fastest chip in a business smartphone with the A16 bionic processor, which handily outperforms the nearest competitor and is also improved on efficiency, meaning you can do more without draining your phone as quickly.
The only consideration with the high spec iPhone 14 Pro Max is going to be the monthly costs, but for the power and capability you get to do essentially any task you need, it could be worth the investment.
Superfast 5G available across the iPhone 14 range
This is almost becoming a given on new smartphone models, but every model in the iPhone 14 range is 5G capable.
This is perfect if you have a mobile workforce, as it means they’ll have access to superfast connection speeds wherever they are.
Not only will this make them more efficient on the go, but it will also reduce their reliance on using public WiFi, which is highly unsecure and can put your business’ data at risk.
Added to that is the end-to-end encryption that is built into all iPhones that secures your phone when you sign in and can protect employees from phishing scams and data leaks.
