iPhone 14 series is officially launched. Apple 's new series brings a higher level of differentiation between the standard variant and the Pro variant to the market. But what changes are there between the new iPhone 14 and its predecessor? Or what are the advantages and disadvantages?
OK, many people want to know, the answer to this question is almost obvious.
Many people also want to know if they should spend more money on the latest iPhone, or they should save some money by buying the previous model, as the new model doesn't bring much changes.
This is why the above question is worth writing a special article.
Next, please continue reading, a comprehensive comparison between iPhone 14 and iPhone 13: the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
1. Appearance design
It is difficult to distinguish between iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 because their appearance designs are more or less the same. There are some small differences, but overall they are almost the same. The new model comes with a larger camera sensor and a slightly thicker body, while the old model is slightly thinner and slightly heavier than the new model.
For the rest, they are almost the same. They have the same notch notch above the display and the same screen-to-body ratio, with symmetrical and narrow bezels around the screen. The
border is flat, just like the previous iPhone (except for the latest SE). Their power keys are located on the right side of the device and the volume keys are located on the left side. They are certified waterproof by IP68, you can place them under 6 meters deep water for up to 30 minutes.
2. Display screen
The display screens of iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 are exactly the same. We're talking about the Super Retina XDR OLED panel, which is one of the best displays with image quality, but unfortunately it has a standard 60 Hz refresh rate. So expect high quality, but don't expect the highest viewing fluency.
This display has 6.1 inches of diagonal and 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution, as well as 19.5:9 aspect ratio, HDR10 certification, and Dolby Vision support. Like all the latest Apple phones, it does not rely on fingerprint readers for authentication, but supports 3D facial recognition through Face ID technology.
Face ID The sensor is located in the notch groove above the display. The front glass is scratch-resistant and has an oleophobic coating.
3. Core performance
Although they belong to two different generations, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are powered by the same chipset. We are talking about the Apple A15 Bionic: a SoC built with a 5 nm production process, with a six-core architecture, runs from two Avalanche CPUs with a maximum frequency of 3.23 GHz (high performance), four Blizzard CPUs (high efficiency), and comes with a 5-core Apple proprietary GPU.
But the hardware settings are different: iPhone 13 only has 4 GB RAM, while iPhone 14 has 6 GB RAM, and the latter has one more GPU core.
So in terms of core performance, the iPhone 14 is better.
4. Camera
At first glance, the cameras of iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models seem to be the same, but if you dig deeper, you will find the camera improvements of iPhone 14.
They come with the same dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 12 MP main sensor, equipped with OIS and 12 MP ultra-wide cameras, but the iPhone 14 model's main camera has a brighter f/1.5 focal aperture, which should be able to capture higher levels of detail in low light. The same goes for the front camera of the
iPhone 14, which uses a brighter f/1.9 focal aperture instead of f/2.2.
5. Battery
The batteries of these two phones are very small, but the iPhone 14 won again. It comes with a 3279 mAh battery, while its predecessor was only 3227 mAh. This will result in a slightly longer battery life for the new model.
charging speed has not changed, as both phones can reach 50% in 30 minutes, and they support MagSafe and 15W Qi wireless charging.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 parameter comparison chart:
Through a comprehensive comparison, the advantages of iPhone 14 are stronger core performance, larger battery, better front and rear cameras, and iOS 16 out of the box. The disadvantage is the higher price. On the
side, the iPhone 13 has the advantage of being a more affordable price, and the chip and battery capacity is similar to that of the new phone. The disadvantage is that the camera is a little worse.
