The iPhone 14 places a premium on its camera. According to Apple, the image processing method has been improved, with deep fusion occurring earlier in the pipeline. There is a new advanced stabilisation mode for video. It's called action mode, and it uses the entire sensor to stabilise video without the use of any additional hardware - no gimbal necessary.

Apple is discontinuing the SIM tray in the United States. Customers will instead have to migrate to eSIM. Apple clearly stated that this is a change for customers in the United States; international iPhone models should still include a SIM tray.
