Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPhone 14 and Apple iPhone XS Max are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPhone XS Max is 12% cheaper at 74,000 DZD versus 84,000 DZD for the Apple iPhone 14, leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPhone 14 packs a 3279 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Above 60,000 DZD, prioritise screen quality, fast charging, and a clear software-update commitment.
