Give it up ok? Perhaps they share some components but that does not make them the same device.

"Borrows the camera sensor from the 13 Pro", get your facts straight. This is just a software lock as the camera hardware is identical. Imagine being stooping so low and defending a trillion dollar company.Give it up ok? Perhaps they share some components but that does not make them the same device.

Imagine posting clearly false information as you do.
Do you think most manufacturers spec entirely new parts for their new products? Do you think Toyota sits down and designs a completely new engine and transmission for each new model year? Do you think Whirlpool designs and build an entirely new compressor for each new refrigerator model?
Of course not.
Do 𝘺𝘰𝘶 need to buy a device that has minor but real changed components from the previous year’s model?
No.
But most people do not buy a phone yearly, so that is irrelevant to them. They are getting a model that is quite different from the one they have been using.

How does that make anything I said untrue? Apple is blatantly and admittedly reusing hardware from the 13 Pro, so why are new software features being locked behind newer models with identical hardware?
It's very simple: money and artificial product differentiation.
Apple knows very very well that the regular 14 is very much the same as the 13, so they use one of the oldest tricks in the book: artificial software locks.
