Just upgrading from Xr and wanting the opinion of you folks, is the 14 much better than the 13? i was just thinking of getting the 13 but seen apple has both available. Just a daily user, im sure this has been answered here to death but im not great at searching so thought id just ask

Thanks all

Hey

I'm an Android user at the moment. I have always been a fan of iPhones, and after having a great, satisfactory experience with a range of Android smartphones through the last couple of years, I want to now shift to the iPhone.

My brother and I will both get our first iPhones together, in a few weeks. He will be getting the iPhone 15, while I am confused between the base iPhone 13 and 14. Please do not suggest me to go for the 15, as we have decided according to our budget.

Could anyone please help me out with choosing one between the two? I need to make a decision in about 2 weeks.

The main factors are:

1. RAM

I'll go for the 128GB model. My current storage on my Android is 128GB and I've never faced any issue. Is 128GB on an iPhone the same as on Android, or is there any difference? The 13 has 4GB, while the 14 has 6GB. My current Android phone has 6GB. To the ones with the 4GB 13, is it manageable for someone with a couple of apps with moderate-to-heavy use, 2–3K photos, and just regular use of the phone? How do you all manage it? Has it been easy/smooth? Any drawbacks? I think the 14 wins in this aspect as its got the bigger RAM (6GB).

2. Camera

I want a good camera that clicks decent/appealing pictures. Is the 13 or the 14 better in this aspect?

3. Battery

I heard the 13 has a better battery than the 14. I want my phone to run for 4–5 years. I've read a lot of posts with negative opinions about the 14's battery and how it degrades really quickly over time, and that scares me, honestly. Or is it just certain cases? Anyone here with a 14 that has a good, healthy battery? Does the 13 win in terms of battery?

4. Support/updates

As I will use my iPhone for 4–5 years, which one would last longer? Which one would work well even after it stoppes receiving iOS updates? Now, I assume the 14 would work for an extra year or two as it was released a year after the 13. I read posts on this subreddit about how updating to a certain iOS version messed up the entire phone (13/14). So does the phone work well without necessarily always updating to the latest version? Does the 13 or 14 win in this aspect?

Please let me know. I'd really appreciate the info. Thank you!

I’m currently using an iPhone 11 (64GB) and planning to upgrade. Both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 are available at the same price within my budget.

Based on your experience, which one would you recommend and why?

I wanna do gaming (pubg,cod) may be 3-4 hr a day. Should i choose 13 pro max or 14 pro max. I will keep the phone for 2-3 yrs

I am currently looking for a new phone to purchase. After using my iphone X for as long as 4 years it is time to put it to rest.

I wanted to buy the iPhone 15 (not the pro since I don‘t take too many pics) but I suppose I would be more at risk to overpay for less value with recent iPhone releases.

Since prices dropped on iPhone 14 and 14 pro and my budget is around 1000€ I am really thinking about purchasing those instead of 15. Differences in normal/pro seem to be better display and better processor but I don‘t think this would impact my use too much if I don‘t get those.

I do use my phone a lot (12hrs daily) and game a few hours a day. Nothing too heavy mostly Wild Rift and Pokemon Go.

Which iPhone would you recommend and why?

I just want to ask if your iphone13 does run games pretty smoothly. For context I have an Iphone13, not mini, nor pro or promax, just the 13. And I can't tell if it's good because I'm used on having a high refresh rate from my previous phone. So I can't tell if it's good or not.
