The latest Apple phones just entered the pre-order phase and they will be on sale starting from September 16 in several global markets. Announced during the keynote held on September 7, the iPhone 14 lineup is composed of four variants: the vanilla iPhone 14, the 14 Plus, the 14 Pro, and the 14 Pro Max. This year there are definitely more differences between the standard versions and the Pro ones: not only the design is different, but even several other specifications such as the chipset and the main camera. That is the reason why it is very important to know the difference between the vanilla version and the Pro. So here is a comparison between the specifications of the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro.

Design

As already mentioned, this year there is an important aesthetic difference between the vanilla version and the Pro. The iPhone 14 Pro ditches the notch in favor of a pill-shaped punch hole including the front camera and the sensors for Face ID, while the vanilla version still comes with a notch, even though it is a smaller notch just like the 13 series. Another difference is the camera module because the Pro variant has more sensors on the rear side. Further, the vanilla version is slightly more compact and lighter. Last but not least, the Pro is built with better material: it has a glass back and a stainless steel frame, while the vanilla version is equipped with an aluminum frame. These are the main differences when it comes to aesthetics and, as you probably realized, they are very relevant.

 

Display

The displays of the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro share a lot of things in common, but there are two main aspects in which the Pro variant is definitely better. The first one is the refresh rate, as it reaches 120 Hz instead of the standard 60 Hz. Further, with the Pro variant, you can get higher brightness, up to 2,000 nits. And naturally, the panels differ on the upper part due to the punch hole on the Pro variant and the notch on the vanilla version, but we already told you about this. For the rest, these displays are exactly the same thing. They are Super Retina XDR OLED panels with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels, HDR10+ certification, and Dolby Vision support. Unlike Android phones, you do not get an in-display fingerprint reader for authentication, but these devices rely on 3D facial recognition thanks to the Face ID technology.

 

Specs & Software

One of the most important differences between the vanilla and the Pro version this year is definitely the chipset. With the iPhone 14 Pro, you get the new Apple A16 Bionic SoC built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture. It is able to reach a frequency of 3.46 GHz and it includes a 5-core proprietary GPU. The chipset is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of NVMe native storage depending on the chosen configuration. Unfortunately, the vanilla version is powered by the old Apple A15 Bionic chipset: the same SoC as the iPhone 13 lineup. It is built with a 5 nm production process and it has an octa-core architecture including two Avalanche performance cores with a max frequency of 3.23 GHz, four Blizzard energy-efficient cores with a frequency of 1.82 GHz, and a 5-core proprietary GPU. Both phones run iOS 16 out of the box.

 

Camera

Another important upgrade of the Pro variant is definitely the camera setup. This is the first Apple device equipped with a 48 MP rear camera. So this phone has a quad rear camera setup including a 48 MP main sensor with sensor-shift OIS, a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, and a TOF 3D LiDAR scanner. On the front, you get a 12 MP selfie snapper with an f/1.9 focal aperture (improved if compared to the previous generation) and a 3D sensor for Face ID. The iPhone 14 has the same front department, but on the rear side, it only sports a 12 MP main camera with OIS and a 12 MP ultrawide camera.

 

Battery

Unfortunately, Apple did not announce the battery capacities of these two devices at the launch and still, no one discovered them. We do not have info about the battery life and the battery capacities of these two phones, but we can tell you that the iPhone 13 had a bigger battery than the Pro. Both the handsets feature fast charging and they are able to fill 50 percent of the battery in 30 minutes. They also feature MagSafe wireless charging with a power of 15W and Qi wireless charging with a power of 7.5W.

 

Price

Prices of iPhones vary depending on the market. the iPhone 14 starts from $999/€999, while the Pro starts from $1299/€1300. Which one would you pick with your actual budget?
