Other Is 13 a better deal than 14 and is 14 pro worth the extra

[madeirabhoy]

sure many are sitting grappling with the same thoughts as me.


got an XS, dont need but want an upgrade, XS will pass down family....


so, can afford the 14 pro at €1349, think ive ruled out 14 at €1039 but being Scottish, the 13 is €929, a bit of a discount.


anyone else having the same thoughts?

I think the 13 is definitely a better deal than the 14. Better color options too...

The max is where things get complicated though. The 14PM camera is insane, and the island exclusive software features look great, always on would be nice, but here I am, thinking I would sure upgrade from my Xs, but I can't stand any of this year's colors, and my plan was to just use a bumper style case this time around.

With 14, you're likely to get another year of iOS support.

Camera upgrades (front and rear) to low light are nothing to sneeze at either.

Yeah, but do you really need it? I‘m intrigued by the Island but thats about it.

I really doubt the 14 will get more ios updates than the 13. The 14 pro maybe, but there’s really no reason for them to drop one before the other. My guess is both of them lose support the same update.

If I were considering a 13 and a 14, I'd definitely pick the 14 for $100 more.

The 14 Pro/Max would be an even better choice.

Apple could pull another iOS 13 which relied on RAM.

Does the 14 actually have more ram? Not like Apple usually tells us how much anyway.

I can’t see any reason to get a 14 over the 13, unless you wanted the Plus model of course.

6GB based on Kuo and other credible sources.

That makes sense because it seems to be the same chip as the 13 pro. Awaiting ifixit tear down.

decisions. As of last night it was definitely the 13. Now I’m thinking it’s €500 more for a phone that will last 4 years. €125 a year. Less than Two meals out.
