Price Hike Alert: iPhone 14 Just Became More Expensive in Nepal

Whenever a new iPhone series launches, older iPhones usually get cheaper. Sadly, that didn’t happen this time; instead, the price has actually climbed up, which is quite disappointing.

What is the Price of the Apple iPhone 14 in Nepal?

The Apple iPhone 14 price in Nepal is Rs. 90,799 (128GB). Surprisingly, this is the same price it was back in December 2025. Apple had dropped it to Rs. 88,799 when the newer iPhone models launched, so seeing it jump back up now honestly doesn’t make much sense.

The phone can be purchased at Apple-authorized retailers like the Oliz Store and Evostore.

When the series was launched in the country in January 2023, the iPhone 14 128GB was priced at Rs. 1,54,990, the 256GB at Rs. 1,73,990, and the 512GB variant at Rs. 2,09,990. But now, only the 128GB variant is available in Nepal.

In this article, we will focus on the vanilla Apple iPhone 14. From the outside, the iPhone 14 looks the same as the iPhone 13. Internally, though, there are a few changes. Let’s look at what those are.

Apple iPhone 14 Overview

Design

The cameras on the iPhone 14 are slightly larger than the already sizable cameras on the iPhone 13. And technically, the new iPhone 14 is 0.1mm thicker and 2g lighter than its predecessor. Other than these minor differences, the design of the iPhone 14 is identical to the iPhone 13.

It has that same flat design that Apple has stuck with since the iPhone 12 series. Predictably, the iPhone 14 has an aluminum frame holding the back glass and the Ceramic Shield front glass. The phone is IP68-rated, which means it can withstand dust and water for up to six meters for 30 minutes.

Internally, Apple has made significant changes to the iPhone 14 to make it easier to repair. This is in response to users who have complained about the difficulty of repairing iPhones in the past. The changes in the iPhone 14 should make repairs easier, cheaper, and more accessible.

Display

The display on the iPhone 14 is unchanged. It has the same 6.1-inch OLED display with 460 ppi density. The display supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Furthermore, the iPhone 14’s display uses True Tone technology to adjust the color temperature based on ambient lighting to make it appear more natural.

The display has a rated 800 nits of typical max brightness and 1200 nits peak HDR brightness. These are the exact specs the iPhone 13 display offers.

Major features differentiating the display on the iPhone 14 from the Pro variants are the lack of Apple’s ProMotion 120Hz display, up to 2000 nits of outdoor peak brightness, and the Always-On display feature.

Hardware

The Pro models get the Apple A16 Bionic chip. The vanilla iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus, on the other hand, had to settle for the older — yet still very powerful — A15 Bionic chip.

The A15 Bionic has six CPU cores with two performance and four power-efficiency cores. The graphics performance is improved on the iPhone 14 as the A15 chip used in this device employs five GPU cores, one more than on the iPhone 13.

You could get the iPhone 14 in three different memory options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. But now, only the lowest variant is on store shelves.

This year, Apple made headlines when it completely removed the physical SIM card slot from the iPhone 14 series in the US, replacing it with dual eSIM support.

However, international versions of the iPhone 14 still have a physical SIM card slot, as well as support for eSIM technology. As before, Chinese models do not support eSIM, instead offering support for two physical SIM cards.

There is also the crash detection feature. The new dual-core accelerometer can detect G-force measurements of up to 256Gs, and the existing barometer can now detect cabin pressure changes.

Using these two sensors along with a new high-dynamic-range gyroscope, GPS, and microphone, the iPhone 14 lineup can detect a severe car crash and automatically dial emergency services.

There is also a new Emergency SOS via satellite feature that allows emergency messaging when no Wi-Fi or cellular service is available, but the feature is not available in Nepal.

Camera

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus both have a dual-camera system. The 12MP ultrawide camera, which has a 120° field of view and f/2.4 aperture, is the same as the iPhone 13. The main and front cameras, however, have been updated.

Still 12MP, but the main camera has a wider f/1.5 aperture, a larger 1/1.7″ sensor, and larger 1.9µm pixels. The 12MP front camera (TrueDepth camera) has a faster f/1.9 aperture and, for the first time, features phase detection autofocus (PDAF), which provides better focusing.

Moreover, Apple introduced a new image processing technology called Photonic Engine with the iPhone 14 series. The Photonic Engine is an improvement to Deep Fusion.

Photonic Engine is Apple’s new HDR stacking technology that “improves mid- to low-light performance for photos across all cameras: up to 2x on the Ultra Wide camera, 2x on the TrueDepth camera, and an impressive 2.5x on the new Main camera when compared to iPhone 13.

Furthermore, the True Tone flash is 10 percent brighter and has better uniformity. Cinematic mode now supports 4K video at 30 fps and 24 fps, and there is a new advanced stabilization mode called action mode.

Battery and OS

iPhone 14 has a 3279mAh battery. Apple says the battery provides up to 20 hours of video playback and up to 80 hours of audio playback.

Apple does not officially mention the fast charging capability of the iPhones in wattage, but it does mention that using a 20W adapter or higher (available separately) can charge the battery up to 50% in around 30 minutes.

The phone also supports 15W MagSafe wireless charging and 7.5W Qi wireless charging, and it runs on iOS 16 out of the box.

Apple iPhone 14 Price in Nepal and Availability

The Apple iPhone 14 price in Nepal is Rs. 90,799 (128GB). The phone can be purchased at Apple-authorized retailers like the Oliz Store and Evostore. Only the 128GB variant is now available in Nepal.

The iPhone 14 is essentially the iPhone 13 with a slightly better GPU and an improved camera. Aside from that, the two phones are largely identical, marking the first time Apple has used the same chip on iPhones a generation apart.

That said, I still think the iPhone 14 offers poor value for money, especially when you consider the alternatives available today.

Possible Alternatives

The iPhone 14’s pricing puts it in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy S25, the Honor 400 Pro, and even Apple’s iPhone 13.

Starting with the Samsung Galaxy S25, it costs roughly Rs. 15,000 more than the iPhone 14 but delivers significantly better value. The camera setup is a clear win, featuring a 50MP main sensor paired with a 3x telephoto lens. It also comes with a much larger battery, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor is far superior to the older A15 Bionic in the iPhone 14.

Next up is the Honor 400 Pro. This semi-flagship device uses last year’s Snapdragon flagship chip, which still outperforms the A15 Bionic. On top of that, the 400 Pro includes a telephoto lens, a larger battery, and faster charging, making it a strong contender in this segment.

Finally, there’s Apple’s own iPhone 13. It shares the same processor and largely identical specs with the iPhone 14 but comes at about Rs. 10,000 less, making it a more budget-friendly choice.
