I have the chance to sell my iPhone 14 Red for a good price. And for that money get a iPhone 13 Pro. Blue. Brand new. 100% battery. From my friend.

Question: Is 13 Pro still wort it, and is it a good swap?

yes 100% worth it

[–] Reddit_is_snowflake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Go for it

The 14 has the exact same chip so you’re only losing out on one extra year of software update but you gain a 120hz display and a telephoto camera

[–] croholdr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Probably. I have an xs, and 14 pro max. The 14 pro max is like good for chillin in bed. Never used it as a phone. Would be like holding up a magic mirror to your ear. The XS is my go to for being out and about, and less attractive to theves.

Its basically the new status symbol to rock a 4 year old phone. My iphone 5s wasn't like that (i still have it but its bulging.) People used to give me shit on that one.

120hz is worth it alone.

[–] a_normal_account@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I would, but I'm afraid of the risk of the screen showing up green lines on the high refresh rate model...

[–] nu_nuski@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah. No brainer

[–] panda_heart97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If you are a normal user U won't see any difference. If you are a gamer or heavy photography u need dan opt for pro one.

Otherwise it's not an issue. And one year OS update if it's matter to you.

The 13 pro is really heavy. Only downside

[–] Ratzzz28@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had a 13 Pro for 2 years with no issues. I got a 15 to save money or I would have kept the 13 Pro. I never used the telephoto lens and I could not tell the difference between 120HZ and 60HZ. I don't know anything about the 14s except what I read.

[–] hearrypotter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You need glasses or a trip to the eye doctor if you can’t tell the difference between 120 and 60

[–] DanielBae@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not necessarily. I work in the wireless industry and I’ve noticed most people cannot and do not care to see the difference between 60 and 120hz. Even if they do it’s after me explaining it and they end up picking a phone that has a prettier color instead of an objectively better screen.

[–] Ratzzz28@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am glad that you see it.

[–] PoinDawg22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d rather have a 15 base over a 14 or 13 pro personally. The 24mp photos are a substantial upgrade.

[–] thisworldisunfair@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, 13P is way better than 14

[–] 2Teshi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

120hz and you’ll never go back, still have mine from launch (:

[–] Alert-Reception6453@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

13 Pro is better than a reggo iPhone 14 lol

[–] RepMajor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It would be worth it - they have the same exact chip - 14 base has the 13 pro & pro max chip

Any thoughts on getting the 15 pro ? If your getting good price , than maybe put the little bit extra and get the 15

[–] Redditor20121@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

IPhone 14 has satellite SOS but 13 doesn’t.

[–] hearrypotter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You act like people are gonna use that everyday

[–] Redditor20121@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. I don’t use the airbags in my car everyday either, but they r there for when you need them the most.

[–] Izanagi___@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

lol absolutely. The 14 is literally just a stripped down 13 pro anyway

[–] Kubica47@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

13 pro is beter than 14 just buy it

[–] peshgeek@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

oh man i'm in the same mood tbh i also got a 14 red 128gb and i always want a 13 pro or above

[–] ArizaWarrior@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Of course. ProMotion makes all the difference in the world

[–] LeLuMan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Formal-Sympathy9035@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

120hz > 60hz. So yes.

[–] robertkarlsen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

AMAZING input from all you guys! Well, guess it's time to make a backup and wait for Thursday 😁

[–] ptd9999@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would trade my 14 pm for a 13pm

[–] moldyjellybean@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I did the same. Physical sim is way better than e sim hassles

[–] No_Conversation_6401@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Go for it. Good update for free!

[–] cha0z_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

yep, it's a better phone

[–] piranhadub@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still loving my 13 pro

[–] Third_X_the_A_charm@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let’s see: you literally gain an extra camera, a LiDAR sensor, and an actual SIM card tray for the EXACT same processor? Houston we have a winner. Only thing is it won’t save your life in an emergency lol. But I hate the 14 series about just as much as I hate the 7’s. It was just stuck in an awkward iPhone era transition mode.

[–] Libra224@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] thinkscotty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I would, I couldn’t go back to 60hz personally.

[–] Supplex-idea@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I believe the 13 Pro and the 14 (non-Pro) has similar if not the same general hardware. So if you can swap phones without having to pay any additional money it’s worth it. Don’t let the labels and numbers fool you into thinking you would be getting a worse device. Practically it’s an improvement.

[–] Appropriate-Boat6572@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The 13 Pro is a great phone. Worth the extra features if you can easily swap over.

[–] PolaroidImpossibleI1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Steel construction is orgasmic do it, heavier = better

Titanium is garbage

Yes yes and yes
