iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 17e: should you upgrade?

If you're buying new, get the iPhone 17e. The iPhone 14 Plus is no longer sold by Apple.

The best-value current iPhone, with the same A19 chip as iPhone 17 for $200 less.

The iPhone 17e is 4 years newer, so it will get software updates for longer and holds its value better. If your iPhone 14 Plus still works well, there's no rush, but don't buy one new.
