You wouldn't. It's mostly for people who own older iPhones. Other than the pro models, it's a minor update.

I think I'll be upgrading my XS to the 14 Pro. My only gripe is how big the phone is. XS is 5.8" / 177 grams, the 14 Pro is 6.1" / 206 grams.

I really wish they kept on offering a Mini. Maybe I'll just go for a 13 mini, but the camera does look substantially improved, and satellite communication would be very nice to have (I do lots of hiking away from cell reception).

I was hoping (despite no rumors to the contrary) that they’d at least keep the non-pros at slightly smaller sizes than the pros (say, 5.8” and 6.4”). But alas if you want a smaller phone your stuck with last years model.

Incremental changes. Several minor updates makes a big update. That's why most people don't buy two generations successively.
