Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 18 Pro

Our Verdict: Apple iPhone 14 Pro weighs 206g, close to the 211g Apple iPhone 18 Pro, though the newer phone has a slightly larger 6.3-inch display rather than 6.1 inches. It also increases maximum storage from 1TB to 2TB and adds variable aperture control to the main camera. For everyday screen use the difference is fairly modest; the newer Pro has a stronger purpose when more recording space or aperture control matters.

Over a full contract, the 14 Pro 5G works out around £616 all-in, about £600 less than the 18 Pro.
