Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 17e

Our Verdict: If you've got the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 17e is three years of updates on from it. There's more battery in the 17e, 4005mAh to 3200mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 14 Pro 5G offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the 17e. The 17e is the lighter phone at 169g against 206g. The 17e is the better phone; upgrade from the 14 Pro 5G if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.

The 14 Pro 5G is the cheaper one to own: around £565 over a typical contract, £91 less than the 17e.
