I'm not sure if it would be worth the money to be honest, the 12 Pro is still a premium phone. The 14 Pro might be more worth it
Early on, there was less risk of damaging your phone with a bad cable (still can happen but not as common as it used to be), the connector also is slightly smaller, and most importantly lightning is more durable and so is the port. USB-C ports can be damaged much more easily, as can the cables even though those aren't as much big a deal. There was also the accessory ecosystem then, and USB-C still suffers from different cable specs, although they'll all do a good job of charging. Also it hasn't been until the push with iOS and the iPad pros that iOS that you could really take advantage of the USB-C cables.
Plus at the time of USB-C started being pushed in the MacBook lineup, lightning had only been out 4 or 5 years and people had just stocked up on them and gone through what was a somewhat painful transition to lightning. It's easy to see why they stuck with lightning but I think now would be the best time to switch as lightning has finally turned 10 years old. It's surprisingly been around longer than the 30 pin ever was, which got introduced in 2003 and killed in 2011.
You should use Apple's compare tool:
Honestly, it's a bit of a wash. Chip is only 1 gen newer. Lose the telephoto camera but gain the "telephoto" on the 14's main camera. Gain the new video recording modes and phone is slightly lighter since it's aluminum instead of steel. If you rock the caseless look, the aluminum doesn't hold up as well.iPhone - Compare Models

I'm definitely not upgrading, just got the 12 Pro last year. Just kind of curious how fast the standard turns into a Pro from a few years ago. So it's more like the 14 standard is very similar to the 11 Pro I guess? Or maybe some kind of mix of the 11/12 Pro.
Yeah I was just looking at Andar and Bullstrap. I like those as well. However that Dune color from Bullstrap is nice. I wonder how that will go with my space gray iPhone 14 pro.To me, their style negates the entire fun and elegance of a leather wrapped case. I know their leather is good, but I also hate the browns they use. Wish they had a permanent tan offering.
this is just terrible to me even compared to Apple's junk leather. For their prices… I'd rather have Bullstrap, Andar, or Ryan of London.
well that fucking sucks. I have the XS Max, with saddle brown currently. Guess I'm SOL from now on.
13 pro chip and camera hardware, 14 pro camera software (action camera, 4k cinematic mode etc)
Mainly missing the stainless steel frame, promotion, and the extra camera from the 13 pro
kind of feeling like a made a drunk mistake the other night. I have a 12 pro max on ATT. First I thought for some reason this iPhone would have USB-C. Second I thought I was eligible for a decent trade in promotion? I pre-ordered a 14 pro max and paid off the rest of my phone. Which was like $300. I have unlimited data plan on ATT and sounds like I might have to upgrade further on my plan to get the $1000 credit trade in. I guess we'll see. A little disappointed right now
little surprising to hear that potential big improvements in camera is considers incremental but a slightly different way to charge would be a reason to upgrade.
I get the relative convenience of one fewer charging cable (although we would still have the same number, just swap a lightning with a usb-c, still need to be able to charge with the rest of the family's stuff)
Aztechnology worth checking out selling the 12 pro separately? If you have to upgrade your plan the total cost to change may not be much different?

I realize that cameras are one of the biggest pillars of the Pro lineups and that I'm not the exact target demographic but
I wouldn't mind if they chilled tf out with the cameras at this point, those Pro camera cutouts are getting comical. They're not even contained neatly in their own corner anymore, width-wise they reach into the whole other half of the backside! Keep growing like that and eventually the whole thing will just be a straight bridge like the Pixels.
I think I may be able to get $600 from BB trade in. Might be my best bet. I'm not really sure what plan upgrade I'd have available. I'll check Friday when I go in I guess.
Apologies if this has already been addressed; watching the event I got the impression the 14 Plus had the best battery life of any iPhone however looking at the compare tool on the Apple website it seems the 14 Pro Max is still better (at least when looking at video playback). Am I misremembering the event, or did I miss the part where the Pro Max battery was discussed?
This happened when I gave up that lovely dark green 11 Pro for the blue 13 Pro 😢
Managed to sort my payment issue out with Apple by ringing them. The issue was with Apple Pay, the customer service rep tried the payment using the same card but not through Apple Pay and it worked fine. She said sometimes Apple Pay fails for some reason so just keep an eye on your emails in case you have the same issue.
Excellent post, thank you. I love Ryan of London (bought a macbook case a little ago).
As you said, Apple's cases are terrible.
I have an iPhone X and thought this year would be a good one to upgrade… before they announced those prices for Europe.
1200 something euros for a 256 gb phone is super expensive enough, but 1450? Yeah fuck that.
So i was thinking of getting either the 13 pro or the regular 14. What would you do in my position, anything i should consider between the two besides 120hz screen and telephoto lens on the pro?

Get the 13 Pro, no question. Same processor as the 14, but with a third lens option and ProMotion.
Will keep looking to see if I can find a deal for it , thanks!
Does the 13 pro get the new cinematic 4k and action cams (and possibly other features) with ios 16, or is that limited to the 14 due to the camera hardware/ISP?
Yeah, the Plus is rated higher for audio playback. Presumably, the A16 in the ProMax has some additional efficiencies for video playback, while the Plus may last longer a little longer for general use.
Those features will almost certainly be limited to the 14 line.
No lossless. The promo page talks a lot about better audio quality and adaptive EQ, but lossless is not mentioned and I don't think they plan on supporting it. Could the codec be new though? Maybe. But we probably won't know until review time
This is a hardware-enabled feature exclusive to 14 Pro. It won't be software updated to the 13 Pro.
There will be no lossless, just "2X" (weird way to put it, Apple) noise cancelling improvements and better audio since there's more points of complexity when tuning the audio, namely a new set of microphones that can hear the internal audio output and dynamically adjust based on what it picks up and being able to measure your ear size for custom audio tuning, as well as some internal hardware upgrades that supply better audio output. I want to say that Apple also described the audio quality as "2X" better as well but again, that's a difficult metric to wrap one's head around.
General show floor impressions indicate that Apple has been successful and there's a noticeable improvement of almost every aspect of the AirPods Pro 2 but I think the show floor may have been too short of a session and honestly kind of bad conditions to really test, so the real verdict is still out until official reviews drop, which will probably be sometime earlier next week.
14 Plus is prob going to sell the least. Most will spring for the Pro for $100 more.
Is this a surprise? Apple themselves said they expect the Pro models to be 85% of the initial preorders.
EDIT: Nevermind, it was Kuo himself who said Apple expected 85% back on September 8th. So how is this a failure if that's what Apple expected, according to Kuo himself? Is he now saying it's lower than 15%? It's all a bit confusing.

The standard 14 is a redundant product, and I'm glad to see it fail.
No way. They need a non $1000 entry model. See the watch and the air.
I have the 12 Pro Max and it's serving me just fine, I'll probably just wait for the 15. I want Face ID and a fingerprint scanner also please. Unless Apple announce their version of a flip phone in the next year or so then I'm all in on that. I just can't reconvert to android again I'm too comfortable with iOS.
Xfinity Mobiles website is still messed up.
Yeah I think im gonna do the same. Honestly I just browse twitter and listen to podcasts so its not that big of a deal.
Just how much of an improvement in picture quality is the OLED screen when watching movies with the later iPhones in comparison to the XS Max?
Just like there was that stupid year where the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max had different camera systems, I think this will be the only year where the base phone doesn't get the new chip. There's almost zero reason for someone with a 13 to upgrade, aside from a very iterative camera bump
imo pretty good. I have watched House of the Dragon on my 13 PM and in dolby vision it really looks good on my phone.
There is literally zero reason to upgrade from a 13 series. The days of yearly upgrades are long over.
iPhones now are at least 3 year devices and even then it's pushing it.
to a 14 yes, to a pro, perhaps more case there.
Also there is a case to be made in terms of total cost of ownership - whats the difference per month/year to tradein a newer phone, get the latest and use it for a year then rinse and repeat - vs buy a phone and hold onto it for 3-5 years and sell it for not much and buy new? Factor in always having a fresh phone and I'd bet the difference isn't huge although you are likely to save some by keeping it longer
