Refurbished iPhone 14 or 14 Pro Comparison

In 2022, Apple brought forth a new generation of iPhones, promising innovation suited for the everyday consumer. 

Within it lied the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro, both offering slightly different specs from each other, and the previous iPhone 13 generation.

This is all good and true, but for most, telling this difference between the two can come with difficulties.

The answer? While the iPhone 14 shares many updated features of the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 Pro goes beyond, providing features previously unfounded in an Apple iPhone.

And afterwards, why not explore our range of refurbished iPhones? Your next best device is just a few clicks away.

• Obtain a model for half the price of a brand new one by shopping refurbished.
• Experience a brand new camera system in the iPhone 14 Pro, a feature that continues into the iPhone 15 Pro. 
• Say goodbye to the pesky notch and welcome Dynamic Island in the iPhone 14 Pro.

Before we start, explore the table below to get a general consensus on the differences between a refurbished iPhone 14 and a refurbished iPhone 14 Pro.

These will be explored more fully later in the article.

Note: These features remain the same regardless of whether it's a new iPhone or one refurbished by us.

This is all done with the help of our 90-point phone checks, ensuring you receive all the same features, including Dynamic Island and more, just as you would from a brand-new device purchased directly from the store.

Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro feature a Super Retina XDR display, much like their predecessor, the iPhone 13.

The continuation of the same screen in the newer models may disappoint some wanting a complete tech upgrade, but we must remember that even today, this design still offers rich tones and true-to-life colours that can challenge more recent Android models.

However, unlike the iPhone 14, the Pro variant takes everything up a notch.

The iPhone 14 Pro also comes with ProMotion technology and an Always On display, which boasts a higher refresh rate of 120Hz and allows you to see the date, time, missed calls, etc., when on the lock screen.

The former makes everything smoother, while the latter is a godsend for saving battery life while still having access to important notifications.

But that's not all; want to know the real showstopper? The iPhone 14 Pro's Dynamic Island. 

This removes that ever-so-frustrating notch found in previous models and replaces it with interactive software capable of changing to show battery life, album artwork, and more.

Although minor to some, these changes could make the difference in your choice between a refurbished iPhone 14 and a refurbished iPhone 14 Pro.

Similar to the display, the camera system is pretty much the same between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13.

Apart from a slight upgrade in the iPhone 14, both have a dual camera system, sporting a 12MP primary and ultra-wide rear camera, which offers excellent image quality in good lighting conditions with clean, noise-free details.

Yet again, the iPhone 14 Pro takes the cake with its immense rear camera improvement.

As a first in Apple devices, the iPhone 14 Pro features a 48MP rear camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP telephoto camera, nearly making it onto our list of which iPhone has the best camera, only to be outperformed by the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Now, it wouldn't be wise to assume that more megapixels mean a better camera, but compare images to those found in previous versions, and you'll soon tell the difference. 

Unlike previous iterations, the iPhone 14 Pro has improved dynamic range, delivering vivid, punchy imagery in nearly all lighting conditions.

Plus, you retain macro photography capabilities with the help of its ultra-wide lens, allowing you to capture stunning up-close shots in sharp detail.

Throw in a 12MP front camera for selfies, Apple Calls and Face ID, and you've got a great camera system for all photography enthusiasts.

Now, here's where we see more improvement in the standard iPhone 14.

Unlike the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 has improved battery life, which can perform up to 20 hours of video playback, one hour more than the previous version.

Technically speaking, this means you can play games, scroll through social media, and talk to friends for longer without running to a plug.

But again, the iPhone 14 Pro comes with the best battery life out of the two 14 models – an aspect becoming standard for most Pro models.

Apple claims you can receive up to 23 hours of video playback, again, one hour more than the previous iPhone 13 Pro version.

And the best part? You can receive all these specs cheaper when you buy a refurbished iPhone 14 from us.

All of UR's models arrive with at least 80% battery health, ensuring you'll have the battery life to last years without forking out the hefty sum of a new model.

Now that we've covered the main details, here are some other notable differences between the refurbished iPhone 14 and the refurbished iPhone 14 Plus.

• Casing Material: While the iPhone 14 comes with an aluminium casing with a glass back, the iPhone 14 Pro arrives with a shiny stainless steel frame and a textured matt glass back.

• Processing Power: The iPhone 14 has the same processing power as the iPhone 13, an A15 Bionic chip. The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, has an A16 Bionic chip, offering overall improved performance.

• Safety Features: Both phones now have Emergency SOS via satellite and crash detection features to protect you from unfortunate accidents.

So, here comes the final decision. Which is better? The iPhone 14 or the iPhone 14 Pro.

Without a doubt, you'll get way more features with the iPhone 14 Pro that more than makeup for its luxury price tag. 

But if you're on a budget, the iPhone 14 might be your best bet.

Although it shares some of the same features as the iPhone 13, they are nonetheless improved from its previous version.
