Like the iPhone 14 Pro, the new phone ships without a sim card tray in the US, relying entirely on digital eSims, but continues to have the sim tray outside the US, including the UK. Third parties are likely to charge less again. The result is that back glass repairs cost £169, down from £300-plus from Apple.

But for repairs it means you can replace the back glass as easily as you can the screen, which is a significant improvement for the longevity of the device. It’s not quite the modular, user-repairable dream demonstrated by the Fairphone, but it is a big step in the right direction for Apple.įor the user, that means better heat dissipation so you can game for longer. Now the iPhone 14 has a new mid-frame design that allows it to be opened from both front and back. Previously, the back glass panel was essentially glued to the frame, making its replacement when smashed a painstaking process requiring full disassembly of the device from the front. The biggest changes are hidden from view. The glass back can now be replaced much more easily if smashed, making it quicker and cheaper to repair.
