Why you should buy the iPhone 13 and not the iPhone 14
By Klarna
The iPhone 14 is not worth the upgrade and here is why
Apple recently revealed their new line of iPhones, the iPhone 14. And all though we got a lavish pre-recorded event where we were presented with 2nd gen AirPods Pro, a Series 8 Watches and even a new Ultra Watch, the reveal of the new iPhone was, underwhelming. With little updates to the new models, and only a few interesting feature updates to the Pro models the general consensus seems to stand: the iPhone 14 is simply not worth the update, you should instead opt for the iPhone 13. We have compared all the new iPhone 14 models with the older iPhone13 models, so that you can make an informed decision on which phone to buy.
iPhone 13 128 GB vs iPhone 14 128 GB
Starting off with the base models we can already see a big difference in terms of price the iPhone 13 originally cost £779 now £749, iPhone 14 is currently going on sale for £849, so already here we are seeing a big difference in the starting value. You can save about £100 by opting for the iPhone 13.
The difference in terms of specifications is as mentioned not massive. The differences between the new models is a slightly bigger and brighter main camera sensor, as well as safety features like Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection. But for the first time Apple is not upgrading the chip with the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, instead they will get the same (although slightly improved) A15 bionic chip. Beyond this iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are more or less the same phone, so if you're not so fussed about the small upgrades you will most definitely save by buying the iPhone 13 instead.

iPhone 13 Pro 128 GB vs iPhone 14 Pro 128 GB
The iPhone 13 Pro currently retails for £939 originally retailing for £949. iPhone 14 Pro will retail for £1,099. As far as changes go, the biggest changes between the 13 and 14 model can be seen in the Pro model. With the 14 Pro we get a slightly refined design, new colours, improved battery life and camera, these are expected updates that we see with every new generation. A few more unique and interesting upgrades, that may sway a potential buyer is the new always-on display, allowing you to keep certain information always-on. Although many were expecting the notch in hole design to disappear Apple instead did a 180 and put full focus on the infamous notch creating the so called Dynamic Island, which is a dynamic notch feature that will shift reflecting difference status indicators. In addition to this you will also get the new powerful A16 Chip, as well as the Emergency SOS via satellite and Crash Detection.
Even with all these upgrades the iPhone 13 Pro is still an excellent choice as far as premium phones go and would be a slightly more affordable option to the iPhone 14 Pro. If you already own the iPhone 13 Pro then you'd be better off waiting until the next iPhone release, where we hopefully will see some more significant updates.

iPhone 13 Pro Max 128 GB vs iPhone 14 Pro Max 128 GB
The iPhone 13 Pro Max currently retails for £1,049 originally retailing for £1,199. iPhone 14 Pro Max will retail for £1,199. Apple has chosen to keep the same original pricing for the iPhone Pro Max version, this is most likely done to keep the phone slightly cheaper than their nearest competitor: Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra.
With the Pro Max we're seeing similar upgrades as with the Pro model. Slightly upgraded design, camera, new colours and although all iPhone 14's have seen an upgrade in terms of battery the iPhone 14 Pro Max will actually have 29 mAh fewer than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However the new A16 chip will make up for the minor decrease, and will in fact most likely result in the new model having a slightly longer lasting battery life. Beyond this the big difference will of course be the dynamic Island, and emergency satellite features as well as the always-on display.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is a top of the line premium phone and one of the best on the market and so, even with slight improvements the iPhone 14 Pro Max does become the new forerunner. Perhaps in this case if you're deciding between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro Max, you will be better off opting for the new model, especially since the original price has been kept the same and the decrease in price of the 13 Pro Max hasn't been significant.

iPhone Mini 13 128 GB vs iPhone 14 Plus 128 GB
Although we can't rightfully compare the two models, as the iPhone 13 Mini, was a budget version of the iPhone 13, whereas the iPhone 14 Plus is a step above the iPhone 14, we can get some sort of understanding through the original price decrease of the mini as well as whether or not the Plus model has better value than the iPhone 14. iPhone 13 Mini currently retails for £649 with it's original price being £679. The iPhone 14 Plus will in turn retail for £949.
Despite the obvious size difference, much is in fact similar between the two models: similar camera, internal features and battery life. Both come with the A15 chip. The Plus will like the other 14 models come with the Emergency Satellite feature, always-on display essentially the Plus gives you the iPhone 14 Pro Max's size without having to pay out for its advanced features like an improved display or camera array. The iPhone 14 Plus is basically like the iPhone 14 only with a bigger size, battery capacity and price.
