Apple iPhone 14 is for Bear Grylls! Ordinary People Don’t Need It

What would a real, practical reason to upgrade to the latest iPhone or Apple Watch look like?

Apple launched the new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and the 14 Pro and Pro Max at the 'Far Out' event. Now the new iPhones come with a lot many new features and seem like a worthy upgrade. Many must have already dialed their relative in the US, to get them the new iPhones, if someone is traveling back anytime soon.

Buying an Apple Watch Ultra isn't going to turn you into Bear Grylls and upgrading to an iPhone 14 Pro won't make you the next Spielberg. What would a real, practical reason to upgrade to the latest iPhone or Apple Watch look like?  Apple can be called out for skipping over features geared toward the average, boring human demographic. None of its features would exclusively benefit lazy, boring schlubs. They would be equally valuable to the adventurous adrenaline junkies and budding cinematographers Apple's been courting.

All the new iPhones from the iPhone 14 lineup are available "WITHOUT" a physical sim tray in the US. They will only support an eSIM. While this is not much of a trouble as Apple does list Airtel, Jio, and Vi as compatible eSIM providers in India. It is not difficult to shift from a physical Sim to an eSIM on either of these three service providers, one can do it on their own or a short visit to the Airtel, Jio or Vi should solve it.

With phones getting expensive it's important to have warranty coverage to protect your devices in case of an unfortunate incident. Apple Care programs and the standard 1-year warranty offer you peace of mind. And anyone who has repaired their out-of-warranty Apple devices knows the importance of having Apple Care and Care+ coverage. Apple also usually doesn't repair and return the device in certain cases, it offers replacement if your device meets their conditions. International warranty coverage on iPhones purchased in the US might not apply if claimed in India, according to Apple's Legal page.
