iPhone 14 Model Number A2649, A2881, A2882, A2884, A2883 Differences

By

Apple released four new iPhone 14 models in September 2022. The iPhone 14 is still the most affordable version with prices ranging from $799 to $1,099.

Despite being the cheapest version, the iPhone 14 is still a powerhorse with a 6.1″ Super Retina XDR display (with 1,200-nit peak HDR brightness and Dolby Vision), A15 Bionic chip, superfast 5G cellular, Emergency SOS via satellite, an advanced dual-camera system (12MP main and ultra wide lens), and extended battery life (up to 26 hours video playback). It also has an updated internal design to improve thermal performance, allowing you to play games and watch movies longer without heating up. The build quality of the iPhone 14 is quite impressive with ceramic shield glass, aerospace grade aluminum, and water- and dust-resistance. They come in 6 color options, which are blue, purple, midnight, starlight, yellow, and (Product)Red.

Notably, the iPhone 14 has 5 different model numbers, which are A2649, A2881, A2882, A2884, and A2883. They have the same design and hardware but the LTE and 5G cellular bands are different. Besides, some models drop the SIM tray in favor of eSIM. Therefore, you should check all the differences carefully before buying the phone. We will also try to list as many part numbers as possible; The part numbers specify the origin country, carrier, storage (128GB, 256GB, 512GB), and color option.
