Apple released its latest iPhone model, the iPhone 14 series, in September 2022.

And, most importantly, whether it’s time to upgrade your iPhone.

For iPhone 13 Pro owners, the iPhone 14 Pro might be the obvious choice.

Apple retains the same boxy design on the latest model.

The Lock button is on the right, and the mute and volume rocker buttons are on the left.

In place of that, all the USiPhone 14 models only use e-SIM.

Both models are available in Gold and Silver.

A Ceramic Shield glass also protects the front glass on both.

Display

Both models have the same 6.1-inch 120Hz OLED display with HDR support and nearly identical resolution.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro’s ProMotion display is slightly better in other areas.

The 12MP ultra-wide sensor is also larger on the 14 Pro for better low-light photos.

That should allow more light to enter and capture slightly better-detailed selfies.

Processor

It has become a norm that Apple releases a new chip with each new iPhone generation.

For the iPhone 14 Pro, the company stays true to its roots.

The A16 chip is built on a 4nm process and packs a 6-core CPU and a 5-core GPU.

On the bright side, this is the same process Apple uses in the standard iPhone 14.

However, you’ll struggle to notice the performance difference in real-world use.

Storage and Battery

There’s no difference between the two in terms of memory and storage size.

They run on 6GB of memory paired with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage.

However, the 14 Pro has the edge over its successor in the battery departmentat least on paper.

It bumps up the battery capacity from 3,095mAh to 3,200mAh.

Is It Worth Upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro?

Compared to the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro has primarily incremental upgrades.

It has a 48MP camera, always-on display, Dynamic Island, and the new A16-Bionic chip.

For most people, these upgrades and refinements don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

The iPhone 14 Pro is not worth an upgrade unless you care about the tiny details.
