iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Full Spec Sheet

It can be difficult to decide which iPhone 14 model to buy. Even while the iPhone 14 Pro is undoubtedly more powerful and capable, there are other factors to consider, including price, battery life, and total weight. Check out the comparison of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro below.

iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro: Screen sizes

For the first time ever, the screen sizes for the basic iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro are the same. Whichever family you choose, you can choose between a 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch screen. This is a significant improvement over the previous two years, when customers looking for the largest 6.7-inch screen could only choose from the top-tier “Pro Max.”

In spite of this, there are some significant differences in screen technology and features. In particular, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature the first-ever Always-On display, the new Digital Island that replaces the notch, and ProMotion display technology for smoother animations.

With the help of the Always-On display on the iPhone 14 Pro, your lock screen widgets, the time, and your wallpaper are always visible on the screen. For the iPhone, this is the first time Apple has ever used an Always-On display.

In the meanwhile, the Digital Island replaces the notch with a new degree of engagement. To access additional controls and options, press and hold the screen. The Dynamic Island can display information such as album art for songs in the Music app, FaceTime controls, details about particular background processes, and more. You can view real-time notifications right in the new screen area thanks to the integration between the new Live Activities feature in iOS 16 and the Dynamic Island.

Even though those are the main variations between the displays, there are also other technological specifics. Here is a detailed comparison of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro’s display technologies.

Size and design

Despite having similar screen sizes, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lineups have some distinct design and size differences. Additionally, there are variations in the weight, materials, and other aspects of each model.

The chart below shows that the general dimensions of the corresponding iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models are identical. The weight of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is the biggest difference, with the Pro models weighing significantly more than their non-Pro equivalents. The thicker stainless steel edges, bigger camera modules (more on that in a moment), and bigger batteries are to blame for this.

Performance

Apple has separated the performance between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro for the first time ever. The A15 chip used in last year’s iPhone 14 models has been enhanced for use in these versions (just with an added GPU core). The A16 Bionic chip, Apple’s first 4nm CPU, is found in the iPhone 14 Pro versions.

The exact comparison of the performance of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is still pending. However, the reality is that the majority of modern buyers already consider the iPhone’s performance to be excessive.

Battery life

A key consideration when selecting an iPhone 14 is battery life. Here is what we know about Apple’s battery statistics, which can be a little hazy.

Consideration	iPhone 14	iPhone 14 Plus	iPhone 14 Pro	iPhone 14 Pro Max
Video playback	20 hours	26 hours	23 hours	29 hours
Audio playback	80 hours	100 hours	75 hours	95 hours

Camera

Regarding camera technology, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are significantly different from one another. This year, the difference between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro is even greater. The main camera on the iPhone 14 Pro uses quad-pixel technology because it has a new 48MP camera to adjust to the photo being taken.

A new Photonic Engine is another feature of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. A deep integration of hardware and software enables this new computational photography feature, according to Apple, which provides a “giant leap for mid- to low-light performance in photos across all cameras.”

According to Apple, the Ultra Wide camera, TrueDepth camera, and Main camera will all have up to a 2x increase in mid- to low-light performance on the iPhone 14.

The benefit is even greater on the iPhone 14 Pro: up to 2x for the primary camera, up to 3x for the ultra wide camera, up to 2x for the telephoto camera, and up to 2x for the TrueDepth camera.
