iPhone options
iPhone 12 Pro
If you want an iPhone with Pro camera features but can't afford to pay £1000+ for the latest iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 12 Pro is a great alternative!
The iPhone 12 Pro has all the Pro features that many love, including Dolby Vision HDR recording, three 12-megapixel cameras, Portrait Lighting effects and a LiDAR scanner for improved AR experiences.
With 5G connectivity, a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display and an A14 Bionic chip, there isn't a great deal of difference between the two iPhone models in terms of functionality and features.
For a reasonable £489.99 or as little as £22.99 a month, it's much more affordable than the new iPhone 14 series!
iPhone SE (2022)
The iPhone SE 3rd generation (2022) is still an excellent option for those who want an Apple phone without the high price tag.
If you're a fan of the iPhone Mini range or smaller phones in general, the SE is a great alternative with a 4.7-inch LCD Multi-Touch display – 0.7 inches smaller than the iPhone Mini models!
As the iPhone 14 range has ditched the Mini, the 3rd generation SE is still the smallest, newest iPhone model on the market.
This small but mighty iPhone model has some superb features, like 4K video recording, 5G, Retina HD Display, and an A15 Bionic chip (also in the iPhone 13).

Android options
OnePlus 8
If you want to upgrade to something similar to the iPhone 14 but don't want to spend a fortune, the OnePlus 8 is a great option.
At £314.99, it's a lot cheaper than the new iPhone 14 series and still has all the features you'd expect from a high-end phone. With facial recognition, an in-display fingerprint scanner, 4K video recording and a quad-camera system, the OnePlus 8 is quite the powerful model.
The OnePlus 8 has a 6.5-inch 120Hz display, slightly bigger than Apple's standard mobile size. The X55 5G chipset allows for fast 5G browsing, too.
If you're not wedded to the Apple brand, upgrading to the OnePlus 8 might be the move for you!
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is a great money-saving alternative for those who want to switch from Apple without losing valuable features.
The Galaxy S21 FE is the fan edition of the S21 range, meaning it incorporates all the most-loved Samsung features users enjoy!
Many of these features are similar to the iPhone 14, such as 5G connectivity, a smooth 120Hz display rate and several 12MP-megapixel cameras.
Plus, it has features that the iPhone doesn't have, like Game Mode, PowerShare, and both facial recognition and in-display fingerprint recognition. And from £369.99, it's much cheaper than the new iPhone!
Google Pixel 6
The Google Pixel 6 is a great option for those looking to change up their mobile device without spending too much money. It's packed full of cool features and is available at a fraction of the cost of the new iPhone 14 series!
The phone has similar cameras and photo features to the iPhone, plus a few other neat capabilities such as Magic Eraser and Face Unblur. Google has gone all out when it comes to security too, with the Titan M2™ security chip.
And for those prioritising a long-lasting battery, the Google Pixel 6 can stay powered on for up to 48 hours with Extreme Battery Saver AND only takes 30 minutes to charge 50%.
So if you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative to the new iPhone, for as little as £409.99, the Google Pixel 6 is worth considering!
Huawei P30 Pro
If you're looking for a new phone and considering an iPhone 14, you might want to look at the Huawei P30 Pro instead. It's a cheaper alternative for those that want a change from Apple!
The P30 Pro has many of the same features as the new iPhones and more, including a larger 6.47-inch display, a battery life that lasts around 1.5-2 days with standard usage and four top-quality cameras.
The P30 Pro has an in-screen fingerprint sensor and supports Qi wireless charging, HUAWEI SuperCharge and HUAWEI Wireless Quick Charge, so you'll have plenty of charging options!
From prices as low as £339.99, the Huawei P30 Pro is definitely worth considering as an alternative to the new iPhone range.
