Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 17
Our Verdict: The iPhone 17 is three years newer than the iPhone 14 Pro, and it shows in the specs. There's more battery in the 17, 3692mAh to 3200mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and the 14 Pro 5G goes up to 1TB of storage, where the 17 tops out at 512GB. The 17 has the bigger screen, 6.3" against 6.1", and the 17 is the lighter phone at 177g against 206g. If you're on the 14 Pro 5G, the 17 is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
Over a full contract, the 14 Pro 5G works out around £611 all-in, about £190 less than the 17.
