Why buying a last-gen iPhone may be a smart choice.

The author, who tested the latest high-end phones, opted for the iPhone 13 Mini instead of the iPhone 14 or other latest models. She believes the iPhone 13 is just as good as the iPhone 14, with the added benefit of costing a little less. The iPhone 13 Mini is a good phone by modern standards, with decent camera, A15 Bionic processor, MagSafe, and wireless charging. While the iPhone 14 has some nice features, they are not worth the extra cost for the author. The question of which phone is the best always comes down to personal preference.
