Apple iPhone 13 vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro
Our Verdict: The iPhone 14 Pro is the follow-up to the iPhone 13 a year later, so the two are close. The 14 Pro 5G leads on camera hardware with a 48MP main sensor to the 13's 12MP, and the 14 Pro 5G offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the 13. The 13 is the lighter phone at 173g against 206g. Get the 14 Pro 5G if you want the newer hardware; if not, the 13 is usually cheaper and does much the same job.
Over a full contract, the 13 works out around £433 all-in, about £132 less than the 14 Pro 5G.
