 Whether you’re considering an upgrade or just want to see the biggest differences between the two phones, an iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 13 comparison should come in handy.

At first glance, the iPhone 14 looks almost identical to the iPhone 13, but has a number of notable upgrades, including a larger and brighter main camera sensor, the A15 Bionic chipset, security features, and a more powerful Apple version. This iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 13 guide will help you decide which phone is better for your needs.

IPHONE 14 & IPHONE 13: Models

Apple made a huge overhaul to its iPhone lineup this year by eliminating the iPhone Mini. In their place are the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. The Plus is very similar to the iPhone 14, with the only notable differences being screen size and battery.

IPHONE 14 & IPHONE 13: DESIGN AND DISPLAY

The iPhone 14 looks very similar to the iPhone 13. Both are made of glass and aluminum with a glossy back. The iPhone 14 has a ceramic shield on the front glass for added durability.

The iPhone 13 changes its camera module layout from vertically stacked lenses to diagonally arranged lenses on the back. The iPhone 14 sticks to this approach. On the front, it uses the slightly smaller notch seen on the iPhone 13 instead of the dynamic island cutout now used by the iPhone 14 Pro models.

Apple has brought some big changes to the iPhone 14. This includes improving your phone’s cooling performance and the new Emergency SOS satellite feature, which lets you get help even without a cellular connection. Apple also did away with the physical SIM tray on the US iPhone 14 models, which means the iPhone 14 is an eSIM-only phone. So if you want a SIM card tray, the iPhone 13 might be your better choice.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 have the same 6.1-inch OLED display with support for HDR, 800 nits of brightness and 1,2000 nits of peak brightness, and HDR content. The only difference to note is that you can go bigger with the iPhone 14 Plus if you want, which gives you 6.7 inches more space.

IPHONE 14 vs IPHONE 13: PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE

Apple has stuck with the high-end A15 Bionic that powered last year’s iPhone lineup, even though it’s not quite the same silicone used in the iPhone 13. Instead, it’s the same chip found in the iPhone 13 Pro, so Apple promises an 18 percent improvement in any iPhone 14-to-iPhone 13 comparison.

As for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, the A15 is still a pretty powerful chip, bringing the same 6-core CPU 16-core Neural Engine, but the iPhone 14 now has a 5-core GPU for improved gaming performance. The A15 Bionic also supports computational photography features like Photonic Engine for better low-light performance.

The iPhone 14 Plus comes with a bigger battery and bumps those numbers up to 26, 20 and 100 hours. That could put the iPhone 14 Plus on our list of the best phones for battery life, though we’ll have to do a battery test on the new phone to confirm.

IPHONE 14 AND IPHONE 13: THE CAMERA

Some of the biggest upgrades that come with the iPhone 14 involve its cameras. Like its predecessors, the new iPhone 14 models feature a pair of rear-facing 12MP cameras—one is the main camera and the other is an ultra-wide-angle lens. But this time around, the iPhone 14 has a bigger primary sensor with bigger pixels (1.9 microns, faster f/1.5 aperture and sensor-shift image stabilization).

All of this should add up to better photos and videos, with better detail and less noise. Night mode should also be improved, with exposures now twice as fast. The Photon Engine feature helps improve low-light performance for all cameras.

The front-facing camera on the iPhone 14 has also changed. This new TrueDepth camera has an ƒ/1.9 aperture, which should help in low-light conditions. By comparison, the iPhone 13 uses an f/2.2 aperture. The front-facing iPhone camera on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus features autofocus for the first time.

On the video side, Apple has introduced a new motion mode designed to add better stabilization to videos shot on the iPhone 14. We’ve now seen the first real-world action mode video, and it looks pretty impressive.

 As rumored before launch, the small-screen iPhone has been phased out in favor of a new 6.7-inch non-Pro model. For the first time since Apple’s standard and Pro deviations, iPhone users have the option to enjoy a larger-screen iPhone.

While that’s exciting, it’s not the most compelling aspect of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and there’s a lot to get excited about this year. Apple has revamped the camera system with a new rear-facing 12Mp camera with a larger sensor and larger 1.9-micron pixels, which the company claims improves low-light performance by 49 percent. There’s also an upgraded 12Mp front-facing camera with key upgrades, including improved low-light performance and autofocus for the first time.

The iPhone 14 also features satellite connectivity, allowing users to connect to satellites without bulky antennas in areas without cellular reception. The only real surprise is the inclusion of the same A15 Bionic chipset as last year’s Pro model, rather than an upgraded processor like in previous years.

Here’s everything you need to know about the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.

When will the iPhone 14 be released?

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be available for pre-order through the Apple Store on Friday, September 9, 2022. The iPhone 14 will be released a week later on September 16.

What’s New in iPhone 14

So, what exactly is new in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus?

As rumored prior to the announcement, Apple has decided to ditch the small-screen iPhone mini form factor in favor of the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. It essentially brings the big-screen form factor to the regular iPhone lineup.

Aside from the 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, the new iPhone 14 Plus benefits from longer battery life, which Apple claims has the longest battery life of any iPhone to date — including this year’s Pro models. It sits alongside the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, featuring the same high-end Super Retina XDR display tech as last year. Both models are capped at 60Hz, though.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus offer an improved rear camera setup – although the real hardware improvements are exclusive to the main 12Mp sensor. The 12Mp sensor has a larger sensor and larger 1.9-micron pixels, which Apple claims improves low-light performance by 49 percent, as well as sensor-shift OIS technology and a faster aperture for better capturing fast-moving photos. The front-facing camera has also been boosted, with a new 12Mp TrueDepth camera offering an improved f/1.9 aperture for low-light shots, but the bigger improvement for many will be the introduction of autofocus.

Video is another area where the iPhone 14 lineup has improved; Apple has introduced a new Action Mode that uses full-sensor overscan and roll correction technology to deliver a gimbal-level stabilization experience ideal for running and Record video while riding.

Satellite connectivity is a new addition to the iPhone 14 series, and it was one of the first smartphones on the market to offer the technology. While smartphones are typically connected to cell towers several miles away, the new line of smartphones can connect to satellites moving hundreds of miles from Earth at speeds of 15,000 miles per hour.

The iPhone 14 has custom hardware built into the antenna, as well as a custom UI co-designed by Apple with first responders to deliver emergency SOS via satellite in areas that lack coverage. You’ll have to point your iPhone at an area in the sky to stay connected, but it’s a great addition for those off the beaten track.

The only real surprise of the night was the confirmation that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will once again feature the A15 Bionic chipset, with the caveat that it’s the Pro model and not the improved A15 Bionic used in the standard model. It probably won’t matter to most people considering it’s still faster than most of its Android rivals, but it’s certainly a change from what we know about iPhone upgrades.

Other improvements to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus include the same collision detection technology as the Apple Watch Series 8, the ability to detect when you’re in a serious car accident and contact emergency services, and the removal of the SIM card tray in the US.

 Apple is holding its next “Far out” special event tomorrow, and the company is expected to unveil a number of new products. Among them, there is the entire iPhone 14 series, and there should be four different models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

For the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max, they’ll share the same screen size, but that’s about it. Read on as we detail three features the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have that the iPhone 14 Plus won’t have, so let’s take a look!

New display technology

It’s been a while since Apple launched new iPhones with the “Plus” branding, but that’s about to change. This year, there are rumors that Apple will discontinue the mini size of the iPhone, so there will be no iPhone 14 mini. Instead, Apple is likely to release a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus.

As you may have noticed, the iPhone 14 Plus will have the same screen size as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, the similarities between the two models end there. While the iPhone 14 Plus will use the same display technology as the iPhone 13 with a 60Hz OLED panel, the display capabilities of the iPhone 14 Pro Max will go beyond that.

Based on multiple evidence and rumors, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature a new display design with no notch at the top of the screen. Apple will replace the notch with a pill-shaped cutout that houses the Face ID sensor and new front-facing camera.

Not only that, but the iPhone 14 Pro Max will also feature a ProMotion display with refresh rates ranging from 120Hz to 1Hz. So, for the first time, more expensive iPhone models will feature an always-on display so that even when “off” it will show some visual elements on the screen, just like the Apple Watch.

A16 chip

Every year, Apple releases new iPhones with faster chips. This time around, however, some iPhone models may not have the brand new chip. As 9to5Mac confirmed earlier this year, the mid-range iPhone 14 models will feature the A15 Bionic, while only the 14 Pro models will feature the new A16 chip.

The A15 is the chip in the iPhone 13 series. Although rumors point to a beefed-up version of the A15 Bionic chip with more RAM and possibly a better GPU, the iPhone 14 is still the same CPU as last year’s iPhone. Consumers who want the best performance on the market will have to pay more for an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max with an A16 chip.

Significant camera upgrade

A recent report suggests that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will have minor hardware changes when it comes to cameras. However, major upgrades are expected to be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

For example, the iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to feature a new 48MP wide-angle lens (versus the current 12MP lens), which will enable new video features such as 8K video for the first time on an iPhone. Rumors also suggest that the ultra-wide lens on the 14 Pro models will feature a larger sensor to capture more light, which should result in better photos and videos in low-light scenes.

Not to mention that features like ProRAW photos and ProRes video are exclusive to the Pro model. So if you’re a photography enthusiast, you should probably choose the iPhone 14 Pro Max instead of the iPhone 14 Plus.

 It has been confirmed that Apple will hold its next event on September 7, and we will almost certainly see the iPhone 14 series there. So what can we expect from the iPhone 14 and its finer sibling, the iPhone 14 Pro? How do they compare?

It’s a comparison well worth making, as all rumors point to a bigger gulf between the two phones than we’ve seen in the past. Let’s take a look below!

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro pricing and availability

Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will be released on September 7, with retail likely set for September 16.

As for pricing, the iPhone 14 is priced the same as the previous iPhone 13. That means prices start at $799 / £779 / AU$1,349. However, the iPhone 14 Pro is said to increase by $100 and is expected to start at $1,099. Depending on how Apple is priced in other regions, that could mean a cost of £1,049 / AU$1,849.

It should reflect that the performance and feature gap between the two phones may be wider than we’ve seen in the past.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro design comparison

Preliminary reports suggest that the base iPhone 14 will be very similar to last year’s iPhone 13. That means a sharp phone consists of a flat surface with aluminum bezels and glass front and back.

We don’t expect the iPhone 14 Pro to stray too far from the formula, at least in terms of basic shape and size. However, it may see a switch to a different frame, with several sources claiming that the frame of the iPhone 14 Pro will be made of titanium. This will make it stronger than the existing stainless steel Pro frame.

The biggest change is likely to be related to the front of the phone. According to numerous sources, the iPhone 14 Pro will replace the iPhone 14’s typical display notch with a cutout on the screen itself for the selfie camera and Face ID components, making it look more like a modern Android phone. Beyond that, both devices are rumored to be a bit thicker than before thanks to the addition of a slightly larger battery.

In terms of colors, the full list of rumored iPhone 14 colors includes purple, green, black, white, blue, and red, while the iPhone 14 Pro may come in purple, gold, green, graphite, and silver.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro displays

According to the leak, both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are set to have 6.1-inch OLED displays with the same resolution of 1170 x 2532, but they will be very different.

On the one hand, there will reportedly be a familiar difference between the iPhone 14’s 60Hz refresh rate and the Pro’s 120Hz “ProMotion” refresh rate. Even more interesting is a statement from Korean site TheElec that Apple will use a premium OLED panel in the iPhone 14 Pro, which could lead to better image quality for the high-end model.

There are also rumors that Apple may improve the Pro’s LTPO technology and potentially drop the variable refresh rate down to 1Hz. This will certainly help with Apple’s rumored always-on display feature, which may also be exclusive to the Pro.

iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro camera comparison

Apple’s Pro models always have better cameras than non-Pro models. This is a key differentiating factor.

This year, the gap is likely to be even wider than before. The iPhone 14 Pro has a 48MP main camera capable of recording 8K video and excellent pixel-binned 12MP stills, while the iPhone 14 will likely feature a 12MP sensor similar to the iPhone 13.

Elsewhere, we expect the iPhone 14 Pro to have both an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens, while the iPhone 14 may only have an ultra-wide to support its primary sensor.

According to reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, both models will feature improved selfie cameras capable of autofocusing.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro specs and performance

Reports suggest that the iPhone 14 will essentially run on the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13. It’s likely to be modified and even labelled an A16 of some sort, but it will basically be based on last year’s technology.

Apparently, it’s the iPhone 14 Pro that will receive the real next-gen A16 chip. As such, the performance gap between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be wider than the previous models.

One common denominator could be the 6GB shared RAM allocation, though even so, the Pro series will allegedly use faster LPDDR5 memory, while the iPhone 14 will use LPDDR4X RAM. We’re expecting similar storage options as before, only the Pro offers a maximum capacity of 1TB.

iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro battery comparison

Apple rumor merchant ShrimpApplePro claims that Apple is expanding the battery capacity of both models. The iPhone 14 will apparently increase to 3,279mAh, while the iPhone 14 Pro will increase to 3,200mAh.

 Like all technology, iPhones slow down over time. Even with Apple’s high-quality hardware, software, and security updates, it’s easy to see why it’s gone four or five years after purchase. Yes, it will never return to the speed it was when it was brand new. Sometimes it comes earlier. Even just two years after you buy it, it can get pretty slow. But don’t worry. With just a few tweaks, you can get your speed back. Let’s take a look below!

Quickly clear RAM and memory

One possible reason for the slowness is that the iPhone is overloaded. This could be because you’re using a heavy app, or because it’s running in the background. If you suddenly feel like your iPhone is slowing down, clearing your RAM and memory may help.

Clear Safari (and other browsers) cache

Over time, web browsers accumulate unnecessary data. These are media, files, settings, etc., stored as caches in various formats. Removing these will increase the speed of your iPhone.

To do this in Safari, select Safari > Clear History and Website Data from the Settings app. When the pop-up window appears, tap Clear History and Data.

Restart your iPhone

If your iPhone freezes or slows down, restart it. Rebooting will kill background processes, delete temporary files, and close noisy apps. For models with Face ID, press and hold the volume up or down button and the side button at the same time. Then slide the slider on the screen to power off. If your phone has a home button, just press and hold the side/power button.

There is also a “hard reset” method that completely reboots the device.

For iPhone X and later, press Volume Up, then Volume Down, then press and hold the Power/Side button until you see the Apple logo.

Delete storage and unnecessary apps

Uninstalling large apps, especially games and social apps, should free up space on your iPhone and make it run faster.

Open the Settings app, then General, then iPhone Storage. On this screen, you can see which apps are taking up your storage space.

Here you can choose to delete app data or delete the app itself. Alternatively, you can turn on the Delete Unused Apps feature, which automatically deletes apps you don’t use frequently when they need space.

Turn off background app refresh

Various apps are constantly running in the background without your knowledge. Not only does it drain battery power, but it also affects the performance of your iPhone.

Select Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Not only can you stop background updates for specific apps here, but you can also close them all at once by selecting “Close”.

Delete message

A messaging app is like a bottomless pit of messages, memes, photos, and videos. You may find yourself unknowingly taking up 5-10GB of the Messages app.

Not only is this data useless, it’s also constantly being indexed by messaging apps. In other words, not only the operation of the Messages app, but the operation of the iPhone itself can be the cause of the slowness.

For those not interested in old news, the process can be automated.

In the Settings app, change Messages and Message storage period to 30 days. All messages and media older than 30 days are now automatically deleted.

Animation acceleration

It’s more of a psychological trick. If the animations on your iPhone get faster, it feels like your iPhone runs faster. Battery life is actually a little better. You can change this setting from Settings – Accessibility – Behavior – Reduce Motion.

Turn off low power mode

Low-power mode is great for battery life, but it’s the culprit when it comes to performance. Try turning off low power mode and see if the speed improves. You can also change it from Settings “Battery” “Low Power Mode” or Control Center.

Replacement battery

Using an older iPhone with a degraded battery can affect peak performance. You’ll most likely notice this when playing games or using resource-intensive applications.

Go to “Settings”, “Battery”, “Battery Health” and check the maximum capacity. If it’s below 80%, you may want to consider replacing the battery. A new battery will breathe new life into your iPhone and remind you when it’s brand new.

Completely reset iPhone

If you’ve tried all the methods above and still can’t get the speed up, reset your iPhone to a clean state as a last resort.

Back up your device and do a factory reset. After the reset, avoid restoring from backup and choose the manual option. After backing up, just in case, select “Settings” “General” “Reset” “Erase All Content and Settings” to start the reset.

 Apple’s iPhone SE (2022) may have launched only a few months ago, but there’s already talk of the next iteration of the budget smartphone lineup – and the latest rumors suggest we may be saying goodbye to the iconic home button again.

The current iPhone SE model bears a striking resemblance to the iPhone 6 released in 2014. It offers a 5.4-inch display and a single rear camera, and houses the iPhone’s signature home button at the bottom of the screen.

However, on the Geared Up podcast, guest Jon Prosser hinted that the iPhone SE 4 will instead mimic the iPhone XR. It might still be stuck with a camera, but should get a slightly larger 6.1-inch screen and swap out the physical home button and Touch ID for Face ID.

With the launch of the iPhone X in November 2017, Apple removed the Home button from its flagship smartphone, and shortly after discontinuing the first-generation iPhone SE in September 2018, the company did not offer an Home button on the new iPhone all. However, just a year and a half later, with the launch of the iPhone SE (2020), the home button is back.

Still, if the Prosser rumors are true, we may soon be saying goodbye to buttons again when the fourth-generation iPhone SE launches. That being said, we should definitely take this rumor with a grain of salt. Based on Apple’s current release pattern, the next iPhone SE could be two years away, so any design decisions are unlikely to be set in stone.

Analysis: Why remove the iPhone home button?

Apple may have removed the home button entirely from its lineup in the past, but is it really that much of a hassle? Unfortunately for those who like buttons, it does.

Even before the iPhone X was completely removed from flagship stores, Apple had to make major changes to the buttons it used, turning them from actual moving parts to solid fakes that no longer clicked when pressed. This change happened with the introduction of the iPhone 7, as too many users with an iPhone 6 or earlier reported that the physical buttons became less reliable or even stopped working after too much use.

However, even this solution has flaws. The button still takes up valuable space on the face of the iPhone, and by removing it entirely, Apple can increase the usable area of ​​its display without increasing the size of its phone.

At the same time, many users with a dead home button found that the iPhone came with a virtual assistive touch replacement. This digital home button not only performs the basic functions of the original, but also gives users easy access to some other basic functions of the iPhone.

So it makes sense that Apple wants to say so long about the home button on its flagship models, since buttons take up valuable space, and there are already improved alternatives.

We’ll have to wait and see if the iPhone SE 4 follows suit anytime soon, but don’t be surprised if Apple’s next budget smartphone ends up with a more modern look.

 The iPhone 14 event is just around the corner! The next-gen flagship lineup is reportedly full of exciting new features, including a pill-hole design that ditched the notch, a 48-megapixel main wide-angle camera, satellite connectivity, and more.

However, respected leakers like Ming-Chi Kuo say that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get all the cool upgrades that kick the lower-end models (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max/Plus) out of the party. We’ve compiled a list of the most likely iPhone 14 announcements that may disappoint the masses.

1. There is no new design for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max

Apple leakers agree that the design language of the iPhone 14 will change significantly compared to its predecessor. The controversial notch is the pill-and-hole cutout that makes the boot good for housing the selfie camera and facial recognition hardware. However, according to bean spearers, only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature this new design.

2. ProMotion remains exclusive to Pro models

ProMotion is a variable refresh rate feature that allows the display to climb to 120Hz if the user’s screen activity requires it, which would be an exciting upgrade element for lower-end iPhone 14 models. Unfortunately, Apple is reportedly reserving ProMotion for the Pro models again. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still have 60Hz displays.

Some consumers don’t care about ProMotion, but with Android competitors offering 90Hz to 120Hz panels at reasonable prices, lower-end iPhones are starting to lose their luster. The entry-level iPhone 14 will almost certainly have a smaller battery than its Pro siblings, and with the power-hungry ProMotion feature, it could suffer an annoying runtime hit that Apple isn’t willing to put up with.

3. The A16 Bionic chip snubbed the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max

According to reports, the new A-series Bionic chipsets released every year with the iPhone are usually crammed into the entire product line, but this time, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will not be equipped with the A16 Bionic chip.

Lower-tier models will stick with the A15 Bionic chip. The A15 Bionic chip is a beast of a processor, packed with power that no mobile device can fully tap into, so owners of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still have a device with an industry-leading chip ahead of the rest competitor. On the bright side, the iPhone 14 will reportedly come with 6GB of RAM, a step up from the iPhone 13 with 4GB of RAM.

4. The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max don’t have a big camera upgrade

Whether you have an iPhone 13 mini or an iPhone 13 Pro Max, you can use the 12MP selfie, wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras. Unfortunately, the entry-level iPhone 14 won’t share the same dynamics as its most expensive sibling.

The iPhone 14 is still rumored to have a 12MP camera, so don’t hold your breath for any major hardware upgrades. However, as mentioned at the outset, the iPhone 14 Pro models will likely feature a snazzy 48MP wide-angle camera, making it a more attractive option for content creators and mobile photographers.

5. Pro models increase in price

Apple pundits don’t agree on the starting price for each tier, but according to 9to5Mac, the estimates are as follows:

iPhone 14 – $749 – $799

iPhone 14 Max – $849 – $899

iPhone 14 Pro – $1,049 – $1,099

iPhone 14 Pro Max – $1,149 – $1,199

While the price of the iPhone 14 may remain the same, fans may be disappointed by the rumored price increase for the Pro model. Consumers will likely have to pay $50 to $100 more for the Pro and Pro Max than last year.

Aside from a bigger battery, larger display, telephoto lens, and a more classic design, the iPhone 13 Pro Max isn’t a significant step up from its entry-level sibling. This time around, though, the iPhone 14 Pro models should have some amazing additions to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, including a noticeable design shift, a better wide-angle camera, an always-on display, ProMotion, the latest A16 Bionic chip, and More.
