iPhone 13 VS iPhone 14 comparison: all the differences

iPhone 14 VS iPhone 13 in brief:

• arrival of the satellite connection
• best camera
• new colors
• price increase
• no mini size

1 – Screens

The screen of the iPhone 14 actually doesn't bring much new compared to that of the iPhone 13. In fact, it is the same size. On the menu, Apple also offers us6.1 inchesi.e. a fairly large display but one that fits in the hands. The True Tone solution, also available on iPhone 13, adapts the colors of the screen according to the ambient brightness. The technology used here is OLED, which guarantees lower energy consumption.

Apple therefore did not wish to offer us a major update on the panel side, which was not very different when switching from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 13. However, we remain on very good hardware which looks pretty good even in direct sunlight, with reputable subcontractors at the helm like BOE Electronics or Samsung according to leaks from the Asian circuit.

2 – Design comparison

Like the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 follows the guidelines of the iPhone 4 andiPhone 12: right angles, solid colors and aluminum shell. The advantage is that you will not need to change your accessories if you come from one of the two previous generations. Case, screen protector or even charging base: thanks to almost identical dimensions, no problem.

To go further, the detailed comparison of the different measurements of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 gives us the following figures: 146.7 x 71.5 x7,8 mmfor iPhone 14 VS iPhone 13 at 146.7 x 71.5 x7,65 mm. As for the weight, it is also changing and loses a small gram with 173 g for the iPhone 13 compared to 172 g for the iPhone 14. But it is clearly negligible on this scale.

What really changes, however, are thecolors:Vert,Rose,Bleu,Midnight,Starlightor(PRODUCT) REDfor iPhone 13 andBleu,Mauve,Midnight,Starlightor(PRODUCT) REDfor iPhone 14. Of course, you can also personalize the iPhone with a protective case.

3 – Performances : iPhone 13 VS iPhone 14

Unfortunately, Apple wanted to keep thesame processorin the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14. And yet: compared to its predecessor, the new model displays improved performance with one more core for the GPU. In everyday life, however, the difference remains negligible and is only noticeable at full power. Especially during particularly energy-intensive video game games.

4 – Photo and video

Back sensor

Where Apple offers us a real breakthrough on the iPhone 14 is with its camera since it has a better wide-angle sensor. He is entitled to an openingf/1.5and a definition of 12 megapixels, enough to capture sharper scenes but also with improved rendering at night. For comparison, the iPhone 13 makes do with an ƒ/1.6 aperture here with also 12 megapixels; This is an important difference that is sure to appeal to lovers of vacation souvenirs.

Selfies

But the rear sensor is not the only one to be different, since the FaceTime HD camera installed on the front of the iPhone 14 is also of better quality than that of the iPhone 13. Always alongside the lensTrueDepth, which is used to unlock your iPhone using Face ID face recognition, the lens thus offers the following technical characteristics: ƒ/2.2 aperture, 12 megapixels, wide-angle and Portrait mode. To compare, the front camera of the iPhone 14 has a 12-megapixel lens, an ƒ/1.9 aperture and Cinematic mode, also available on iPhone 13.

You guessed it: you'll get better selfies with an iPhone 14, especially if there are several of you who want to be in the image. This will be particularly practical for perfecting your Memoji, especially since new little animated faces are just available with the update toiOS 16. This is automatically included with your iPhone 14.

5 – Which has the best battery?

Autonomy

Apple has somewhat upgraded the endurance of its iPhone 14, capable of holdingone more hourcompared to the iPhone 13. This is clearly a new feature that will make a difference for those accustomed to high electricity consumption. In fact, just pair an Apple Watch all afternoon and listen to music with wireless headphones for the battery to drain very quickly. The same goes for gaming, capturing 4K videos or even playing audio at full power on the speakers.

Recharge your iPhone 13 or iPhone 14

Both iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 recharge using their portLightning. With this, another advantage awaits you on the battery side since the iPhone 14 is capable of gaining 50% battery life in just thirty minutes. No difference with the iPhone 13 here though, which is quite a shame because other players in the smartphone sector are doing much better.

6 – iPhone 14 VS iPhone 13: connectivity

Via the proprietary socket, you should know that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 can also send and receive files using iTunes. Both devices are also compatible with the latest Bluetooth standard, but there is a difference because the iPhone 14 is equipped with a chipBluetooth 5.3against Bluetooth 5.0 for the iPhone 13. The iPhone 13s are, however, still very fast thanks to their 5G chip, which is also found in the iPhone 14s.

On the sound side, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 support Spatial Audio and Lossless mode with Apple Music. This requires a dedicated plan.

7 – Price comparison

Apple offers more expensive prices with the iPhone 14, different depending on the storage capacity:

• 1,019 euros for the iPhone 14 with 128 GB of storage
• 1,149 euros for the iPhone 14 with 256 GB of storage
• 1,409 euros for the iPhone 14 with 512 GB of storage

In comparison, the prices of the iPhone 13 are on average much more affordable:

• 1,029 euros for the iPhone 13 with 256 GB of storage
• 1,259 euros for the iPhone 13 with 512 GB of storage

8 – Conclusion

To conclude this comparison, we can therefore say thatthe iPhone 14 represents the best possible evolution of the iPhone 13that Apple will have been given to do in times of crisis. Indeed, some will probably regret that the processor is the same but this can be understood given the shortage of chips, moreover it is always possible toopt for an iPhone 14 Pro if that’s not enough. But in general, the A15 Bionic card runs very quickly and without lag, as confirmed by the tests published so far.

So of course, as is often the case with Apple, this is an update that may not convince owners of the previous generation because of a crucial lack of differences between the two. But for those seeking a compromise betweenthe third generation iPhone SEand the very high end, the iPhone 14 represents the best iPhone on the market today. Its camera is excellent, the design is already crowned with success and the few additions such as the best photo sensor or Bluetooth 5.3 could quickly become essential.
