I have the 14 pro currently - bought on launch day. I’ve been using the phone everyday since and used to think dynamic island is cool, however as time goes on, I’ve realized that the 13 pro is a powerful phone and someone like me doesn’t even use the camera features much on the 14 pro. I like everything about it, but part of me wants to go to a 13 pro now.

Dumb decision or should I do it? Let me know your thoughts.
 
yea, i dont really understand what the point of switching is, seems like there is no point, its basically the same phone.

Seems a pointless switch to me. I'm not that big a fan of the dynamic island but I wouldn't downgrade to the model before, simply for that reason.
 
I’d keep the 14 Pro. Any money you make off the sale of the 14 Pro to get the 13 Pro is going to be minimal. Plus, you’ll have to buy the 13 Pro used (unless you wait for Apple to sell refurbished units on their site).

But ultimately, it‘s up to you.

Why, are you facing specific issues with your 14 Pro?
 
Sounds pointless to me. You’ll loose money selling the 14 Pro just to buy the 13 Pro. What is the reason to downgrade? The camera? I don’t understand your thinking.
 
Assuming you already have the 13 Pro with you, then go ahead, sell your 14 Pro (you’ll make some loss) and downgrade. Dynamic island is a nifty feature but it doesn’t warrant an upgrade from the 13 Pro, in my opinion.

You already have a 14 Pro, why go backwards?
Do you already have a 13 Pro?
If you already have a 13 Pro then it’s understandable, but if you are trading your 14 Pro for a 13 Pro, I’d say it’s probably not worth it, rather just stick it out until 15 Pro and get more money on the trade.
