Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 17 Pro

Our Verdict: For Apple iPhone 14 Pro versus Apple iPhone 17 Pro, the recommendation depends mostly on what you want from the hardware. The 17 Pro is ahead for camera hardware, with a higher-resolution 18MP front camera and a larger 3,988 mAh battery; the 14 Pro is the better match for a 6.1-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display at 461 PPI, a 48MP rear camera, and a 12MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. The 17 Pro is the better fit for camera hardware, while the 14 Pro is the one to consider for simplicity.

Over a full contract, the 14 Pro 5G works out around £652 all-in, about £384 less than the 17 Pro.
