Apple released the new iPhone 14 Pro and it went on sale all around the world a few days ago. Unlike the previous generation, with this new one, there are several important differences from the previous model. Elements of the design change, as well as hardware components, cameras, and more. That is the reason why a lot of people are very interested in a comparison between the new iPhone 14 Pro and its predecessor iPhone 13 Pro, now available at more affordable street prices. That is also the reason why we decided to publish this article: a comparison between the main specifications of the iPhone 14 Pro and the older iPhone 13 Pro. Given that everyone already knows which one is the best just by looking at the names, this comparison will be mainly focused on the differences rather than telling you which one has the best components and the most advanced performance.

Design

There is an important improvement in the design of the iPhone 14 Pro. The notch has been replaced by Dynamic Island: a pill shaped hole in the display which contains the sensors for 3D facial recognition and the front camera. Dynamic Island is also very useful to display important information, it can be used as a notification center or a small secondary display to make everything happening on the phone clearer. Instead, the notch of the iPhone 13 Pro does not have any utility in the display of the phone. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 Pro is slightly more compact and slightly thinner because it packs a smaller battery. For the rest, these two devices are not so different: the camera modules are similar and even the rest of their bodies are similar to each other.

 

Display

The displays of these two phones do not differ too much and they have almost the same specifications. They are Super Retina XDR OLED with a diagonal of 6.1 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision support. The only important difference between these displays is the brightness: the iPhone 14 Pro is able to go up to 2,000 nits, while its predecessor has a peak brightness of 1,200 nits. These phones do not sport fingerprint readers for authentication, unlike Android phones. Instead, they support 3D facial recognition with Face ID technology. The sensors for Face ID, as already mentioned, are placed in the Dynamic Island placed centrally on the upper part of the display.

 

Specs & Software

The iPhone 14 Pro comes with an upgraded processor if compared to the previous generation. It has an Apple A16 Bionic built with a 4 nm production process and with an octa-core architecture. The mobile platform is composed of two Everest performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz, four Sawtooth energy efficient cores running at a max frequency of 2.02 GHz, and an Apple proprietary GPU with 5 cores. Alongside the chipset, there are 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of internal storage, depending on the chosen configuration you can choose between 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB. You can get the same memory configurations with the iPhone 13 Pro, but with an inferior processor. We are referring to the Apple A15 Bionic, built with a 5 nm production process and an octa-core architecture. This chipset packs two Avalanche performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.23 GHz, four Blizzard cores running at 1.82 GHz, and an Apple GPU with 5 cores.

 

Camera

The iPhone 14 Pro is even equipped with a superior camera. Its main sensor has a resolution of 48 MP and it is the first 48 MP sensor ever seen on an iPhone, with OIS support and phase detection autofocus. Instead, the iPhone 13 Pro has a 12 MP main camera. The secondary sensors of these phones are the same: a 12 MP ultrawide lens and a 12 MP ultrawide camera, as well as a TOF 3D LiDAR scanner (but with different focal apertures). Even the front cameras are the same 12 MP snapper but with a different focal aperture.

 

Battery

The iPhone 14 Pro packs a bigger battery: 3200 mAh against just 3095 mAh of the iPhone 13 Pro. Alongside the more efficient 4 nm chipset, it provides longer battery life. The charging technologies are the same, including MagSafe which can also be used to connect external accessories such as battery cases.

 

Price

The iPhone 14 Pro starts from $999 or €1,200 (prices vary depending on the market), while the iPhone 13 Pro used to start from $899/€1189, but it is way more affordable now, thanks to street prices.
