From the outside the iPhone 14 looks like a 13. Inside it is a different phone, and that is the best news in years for anyone who repairs: Apple redesigned the internal structure and the back glass went back to being a part you replace on its own.
In plain terms: on the 14 breaking the back glass is no longer a disaster. On the 12 and the 13 it was.

With the iPhone 14 Apple did something it had not done in years: it redesigned the inside to make it easier to open. The mid-frame became structural and both the display and the back glass come out independently. On this model the rear panel is a genuine spare part, not a housing job.
For you that means two things. First: if you only broke the back, the job is far less invasive than it would have been on a 13. Second: internal repairs — battery, charging port, cameras — are tackled from the rear, without touching the fragile display.
The rest of the sheet is close to the 13: a 6.1" Super Retina XDR panel, Lightning, MagSafe, Ceramic Shield, IP68. The 3,279 mAh battery starts to show after three years, and it is the most requested repair on this model alongside the screen.
