If you prioritize camera versatility and selfie quality, the iPhone 14 would serve you well with higher scores in these areas, though it offers less storage space and a smaller screen compared to the OnePlus 12. The OnePlus 12 has a significantly larger battery, higher refresh rate display for smoother visuals, and it comes with more RAM which could offer better performance. However, this comes at a higher cost and with the Android operating system in contrast to the iPhone's iOS. If you prefer a larger display and longer battery life, and are okay with spending more, the OnePlus 12 could be your choice. If you're looking for a less expensive option with strong camera performance and you're accustomed to or prefer iOS, the iPhone 14 might be the better option for you. Give Feedback

"The iPhone 14 is a capable smartphone with a seriously snappy CPU, lovely screen, and good cameras. The iPhone 14’s camera array is better than the iPhone 13’s, and will make most mobile photogs very happy. It also lasts more than a day on a single charge. This isn’t the fastest or most feature-rich iPhone, but it’s light, fast, and attractive."

About Apple
The tech giant called Apple is synonymous with the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Known for their build quality and aesthetics, as well as for their excellent integration between hardware and software, iPhones have defined the smartphone industry ever since their conception and they continue to do so by setting new industry standards. Apple's own operating system, called iOS, is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and the company tends to complement it well by creating devices with some of the most powerful processing hardware available in the mobile world. The iPhone is also known for its robust ecosystem of accessories, as it facilitates a very seamless experience when interacting with other Apple products, more so than most of its competitors.
About OnePlus
OnePlus, established in 2013, is a smartphone brand that first became known for providing flagship-like devices, at a fraction of the cost compared to more expensive Android competitors. OnePlus focuses on creating smartphones with powerful hardware at reasonable prices. They also bring hardware features normally not seen in other Android phones sold in the US, such as their ultra-fast “Warp Charge” and the beloved “Alert Slider”.
