Apple says the iPhone 14 is a major upgrade compared to the iPhone 13, but is it really? Is the iPhone 14 worth the price difference and what are the major upgrades? You can read more about it below.
Camera difference iPhone 13 and iPhone 14
Almost every new iPhone model gets a camera update. This year, a major update has been done to the front camera. For example, with a larger aperture (F1.9) in the selfie camera, the iPhone 14 can shoot sharper photos in low light. This improves photo performance in lower light by up to 49%.
Size difference iPhone 13 and iPhone 14
Although the iPhone 13 and 14 are the same size, the iPhone 14 is the smallest of the bunch this time around. The size difference between iPhone 13 and 14 series is in the different models. Apple has said goodbye to the iPhone Mini and in its place is the iPhone 14 Plus. Check out the dimensions of iPhone 14 below:
- Screen: 6.1 inches
- Height: 146.7 mm
- Width: 71.5 mm
- Depth: 7.65 mm
6.1-inch iPhone 14 - the base model
6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus (or Max) - the base model but bigger
6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro - the deluxe model
6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max - the deluxe model but bigger
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 barely differ from each other in terms of size. What could be a huge plus is the always-on screen that the iPhone 14 Pro has with the iOS 16 update. The iPhone can still send messages even if the screen has water on it. Another rumor that went around and turned out to be true is that the latest iPhones will not get a SIM card slot (only in the U.S.), this would make the iPhones waterproof and allow users to switch between providers more easily. Apple had long wanted to switch to eSIM and have now done it. The slim design of the iPhone 13 models can take a good beating due to the Ceramic Shield, but whether this is enough we doubt it, we would still put an iPhone 13 case or screen protector on it just to be sure! The iPhone 14 should also be able to take a beating according to Apple, also with the iPhone 14 is advisable to put an iPhone 14 case or screen protector on it.
