iPhone 14 vs iPhone 13: camera, battery, price and main differences, is it worth changing?

Apple has already unveiled its new iPhone 14 series at an event held yesterday afternoon that ComputerHoy and I have been following every minute. We leave you connected with our analysis of the keynote.

With them, we could see the new and all-new Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE and the most professional model of the brand – Apple Watch Ultra. We can’t ignore the announcement we’ve already been expecting from the new AirPods Pro 2, which comes with the new H2 chip.

Well, with the launch of new terminals and devices, the same question always arises: does this mean that you need to update? Has things changed enough to make the leap and buy new ones? Today we will focus on comparing the iPhone 14 and its Pro version with the iPhone 13 and see if this is actually the case or not.

And the thing is, with the launch of the iPhone 13 Pro just over a year ago, we were faced with a big dilemma. Let’s see what they’ve improved and it’s more than justified to upgrade to the iPhone 14 or stay with last year’s iPhone 13.

Drums

As for the battery, Apple claims that the new phone has “best battery life ever seen on an iPhone” and what can you suggest “all day battery life”, thanks to a new, more efficient 5G chip.

The 5G RF chip in the iPhone 14 is said to be manufactured using TSMC’s 6nm process, which results in a physically smaller chip with lower power consumption.

The iPhone 13 has a 3227mAh battery with 20W fast charging, and as we could see yesterday, the next generation will improve this aspect, although as you know, Apple always keeps this specification to itself. Anyway, This generation of the American firm saw a significant improvement over the previous one.

Design and screen

If we talk about design, then there is not much to compare, since they are very similar. Both are made of glass and aluminum with a shiny back, although the iPhone 14 has ceramic protection, which should give it the best strength characteristics.

In terms of camera modules, both versions support the same diagonal layout. On the standard iPhone 14, the notch is actually the same: it looks like a static black area at the top of the screen.

The only difference we can observe is in professional excavationan aspect that always attracts the attention of most fans.

In this case, the notch as we knew it disappears in the new iPhone 14 Pro and is replaced by “Dynamic Island”. Apple managed to reduce the space occupied by the Face ID recognition system by creating an island-shaped notch that separates from the top edge.

Here, the main advantage is that it is less intrusive, making it more convenient to receive notifications as this area expands and contracts, allowing easy and direct access to controls while you continue to use other applications, including music player buttons, microphone and more. . It is a pity that this novelty is not included in the standard package of the iPhone 14.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 have Identical 6.1-inch OLED screenswith HDR support, 800 nits of brightness, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits with HDR content, compared to 800 on the iPhone 13. The only notable difference is the new Plus version released alongside the iPhone 14, which bumps it up to 6.7 inches.

Of course, the iPhone 14 Pro (and Pro Max) take it to the next level with a maximum brightness of up to 2000 nits, although the screen remains at 6.1 inches. Another novelty that the screen of the new iPhone 14 pro brings is the Always-on Display mode.

cameras

If there is one thing that stands out about this new product from Apple, it is the improvement of its cameras. Like its predecessor, the new iPhone 14 models have a pair of 12-megapixel rear cameras, one main and one ultra-wide. But this time, the iPhone 14’s main sensor is much larger, with a faster f/1.5 aperture and image stabilization.

As for the front cameras, we found an f/1.9 aperture that should help in low light. Recall that version 13 has an aperture of f / 2.2.

On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro’s new camera suite lets you take photos from far away. Going from the 12MP main camera on the iPhone 13 Pro to the 48MP main camera. the larger sensor allows for better low-light shots and better autofocus (especially in selfie mode).

Along with the main camera 48MP 14 Pro It has a 12MP ultra wide angle lens and a 12MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom capability. Logically, a bigger camera also takes up more space on the back of the phone, which might not sound too convincing to you.

In terms of video, Apple has introduced a new Action Mode that is designed to improve the stabilization of videos shot on the go on the iPhone 14.

Price

The iPhone 13, which, as we have already indicated, came out last year, you can currently find it for 909 euros (128 GB) and its improved version for about 1140 euros on some websites. As for the iPhone 14 news, the standard will be released at a starting price of 1009 euros (128 GB) along with the Pro version which will cost 1319 euros.

Booking start date is Friday 9th September so we appreciate that you don’t have to wait long though devices They go on sale on Friday the 16th.

iPhone 14 news

Under the hood, Apple has introduced several significant changes to the iPhone 14. Among them are improved thermal performance of the phone and a new satellite SOS emergency call feature that will allow you to get help even when there is no mobile connection.

Unlike the iPhone 14, the new generation of mobile phones with the surname Pro comes with the new Apple Silicon A16 Bionic processor, which provides more power and interesting additional features.

It is a 6-core processor with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores that manages to boost the performance of the new iPhone 14 Pro with Consumption is 20% less than the previous generation.

So should I change?

Overall, the iPhone 14 doesn’t seem like a huge leap over the iPhone 13. However, we can say that If you have an iPhone 12 or earlier and want to change and spend a little more money, the new phones might be interesting.

As far as the Pro versions go, the iPhone 13 Pro is still a solid smartphone for the same reasons as the 14 Pro: great photography capabilities, cinematic modes, great battery life, and iOS 16 (coming soon). That being said, the iPhone 13 will also have Apple’s latest software features, including a customizable lock screen, so we won’t see any news.

We regret to tell you one thing: if you were expecting the first iPhone with USB C, you will have to wait until the next generation, because in this The Lightning and MagSafe connection is retained, just like the iPhone 13.
