Apple iPhone 13 vs Apple iPhone 14

Both are 6.1-inch OLED iPhones with the same screen resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, so the real split is chip, camera and safety features. The iPhone 14 adds the A15 with a 5-core GPU (the 13 has a 4-core GPU), a slightly larger battery, Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite; the 13 keeps the same dual 12MP camera setup and Ceramic Shield build. Owners of the 13 report it still feels fast for daily use with all-day battery, while the 14 is the safer long-term pick for software support and crash safety. Buy the 13 to spend less on a proven phone; buy the 14 if you want the extra year of updates and satellite SOS.

• Choose the iPhone 13 if you want the proven A15 phone with the same 6.1-inch OLED screen and dual cameras, and you don't need Crash Detection or satellite SOS.
• Choose the iPhone 14 if you want Crash Detection, Emergency SOS via satellite and a slightly bigger battery, and you plan to keep the phone for four or more years.
