Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 17 Pro

Our Verdict: The Apple iPhone 14 Pro leads where 6.1" display LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED, 48MP rear camera and 12MP selfie camera, 128GB to 1TB storage matter most, while the Apple iPhone 17 Pro answers with the larger 6.3" screen versus 6.1", the sharper 18MP selfie camera, the larger 3988mAh battery, with the usual caveat that capacity is not the whole battery-life story. The Apple iPhone 14 Pro is currently cheaper on the lowest total contract cost at about £307, roughly £636 less than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro. There is also much wider deal availability for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro, with 19,123 active deals versus 694. That makes the Apple iPhone 14 Pro the value-led pick, unless the larger 6.3" screen versus 6.1" on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro is worth paying extra for.

Over a full contract, the 14 Pro 5G works out around £611 all-in, about £508 less than the 17 Pro.
