It’s time for a showdown between iPhone 16 and iPhone 14.
apple at last On September 9, Apple launched its next-generation flagship smartphone: iPhone 16 at the Glowtime event.
It has all the bells and whistles including its trendy Apple information AI, you might be thinking, “Wow, the iPhone 14 looks old now.”
The iPhone 16 comes with several upgrades to spark interest, including new camera control buttons, the addition of action buttons from last year’s Pro model, a better camera, and other worthy improvements.
Apple’s September 2024 events are worth looking forward to: iPhone 16, Apple Watch 10, etc.
what is iPhone 14 have? Well, none of these features are available. Even though the iPhone 14 has only been on the market for two years, it may have lost its appeal, even though it’s now more affordable.
If that’s the case, it’s time to prove it by breaking down the differences between the two iPhones.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Price and Specs
Thankfully, Apple hasn’t raised the price of its base iPhones yet, meaning the iPhone 16 will start at the same price as the iPhone 14 when it’s released in 2022.
As with all phones, the older they are, the cheaper they are, and that’s the case with the iPhone 14.
iPhone 16 starts at $799 apple store. Here are the specs:

-
Up to 20 hours of battery life (video playback)
-
Lightning interface
A lot has happened since the iPhone 14, including the favorable shift from Lightning to USB-C. Two years can bring a lot of progress, but it’s not enough to give the iPhone 16 a display above 60Hz.
Still, the iPhone 16 has shown improvements.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Screen size
If you’re used to the iPhone 14’s 6.1-inch display, you’ll find the iPhone 16’s display to be familiar.
It has the same size and 60Hz refresh rate, but has a few updates to help it shine on the iPhone 14’s screen. Literally so too.
The iPhone 16 has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, while the iPhone 14 has a peak brightness of 1,200 nits. The resolution is also slightly better, with the iPhone 16 having a resolution of 2,556 x 1,179 and the iPhone 14 having a resolution of 2,532 x 1,170.

Although the visuals are brighter and more detailed, you’ll find that both monitors are nearly identical.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Design
You could call the iPhone 16 a “Pro” model compared to the iPhone 14 because it comes with all the iPhone Pro features that the iPhone 14 doesn’t have and then some.
For one, it featured Apple’s Dynamic Island instead of the outdated bangs reserved for iPhone 14 Pro models at the time. You’ll also find an action button similar to the iPhone 15 Pro models, which allows you to select specific actions instead of the usual ring/silent switch. The iPhone 16 already has many advantages over the iPhone 14.

But it’s more than that. iPhone 16 now features a new camera control button focused on helping access a range of camera features. It acts as a shutter button to snap photos quickly, can zoom in and out of photos or videos using swipe gestures, and lets you control focus on objects. It’s located just below the power button on the left side, which is a handy feature.
The rear camera layout is slightly different this time around. The iPhone 14 still adheres to the diagonal design, while the iPhone 16 returns to the vertical rear camera layout of the iPhone 12. It’s a subtle change, but hardly a major difference.

The iPhone 14 comes with an aerospace aluminum finish and a glass back, but the iPhone 16 has a tinted glass back that makes it less susceptible to fingerprints. It also makes its color lighter than the iPhone 14’s.
Speaking of which, the iPhone 16 will be available in the following colors: ultramarine, cyan, pink, white, and black. The iPhone 14 isn’t much different, but it looks sharper. Available in midnight, starlight, (product) red, blue, purple and yellow.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Performance
The processing capabilities of iPhone 14 and iPhone 16 are almost the same.
In fact, the A15 chip has iPhone 13which means it is already showing its age. In other words, Apple’s custom silicon chips can handle a lot ofso the average daily performance between the two competitors may not differ significantly.
Still, the iPhone 16’s A18 chip offers even more, and it’s needed to handle the newly included Apple Intelligence and all its artificial intelligence capabilities. This is not something the iPhone 14 can handle. It’s no surprise, but the iPhone 16 outperforms the iPhone 14, becoming one of the fastest mobile chips on the market.
iPhone 16 vs iPhone 14: Battery life
The iPhone 16’s battery life has finally been improved, but only by a few hours more than the iPhone 14.
The iPhone 16 has a rated battery life of 22 hours, while the iPhone 14 is stuck at 20 hours. In fact, it takes about a full day before it needs to be plugged in.
What’s more, the iPhone 16 ditches the Lightning port in favor of a universal USB-C connection, making it easier to find a cable that fits the slot.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Camera
Starting with the iPhone 16, here’s a quick look at the spec differences between the two phones:
-
48MP main camera (fused with 12MP 2x telephoto), 12MP ultra-wide angle
-
12MP TrueDepth front camera
And iPhone 14:
-
12MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide angle
-
12MP TrueDepth front camera
Cameras have come a long way since the iPhone 14, and the iPhone 16 now features an “advanced dual-lens system.” Forget the iPhone 14’s 12MP wide-angle lens; the iPhone 16 has a 48MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP telephoto lens (via a quad-pixel sensor). These are two features that the iPhone 14 cannot compete with.
This is nothing new because iPhone 15 These lenses are also available, but the iPhone 16 now offers a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture and autofocus for improved low-light photography and macro photography. The iPhone 14’s 12MP ultra-wide angle and f/2.4 aperture perform well, but images are often slightly blurry and don’t perform well in low light.
The iPhone 16’s main camera takes great photos, and the addition of a telephoto lens brings enhanced zoom capabilities for more detailed images from a distance.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Software and artificial intelligence
The iPhone 14 will have a hard time competing in this area. However, it’s worth noting that iOS updates are expected to continue until 2029, which means it’s not even halfway through its life cycle. It’s great operating system support, but the iPhone 16 is a fresh start, so it will (obviously) last at least two years longer.
iOS 18 introduces Apple Intelligence iPhone 15 Pro models and above, but only iPhone 16 models will offer exclusive AI features. This puts the iPhone 14 out of the competition, even if it gets updates to iOS 18 and above.

What wonderful Apple Intelligence features does it miss? as Global Developers Conference 2024 As shown, there will be priority notifications, placing the most important notifications at the top of the iPhone feed, and even providing summaries of stacked notifications, AI image generation and the ability to easily image search by entering a description, automatic audio transcription, and rewriting , summary, and proofreading blocks for selected text. In addition, private cloud computing protects your personal information every time you visit Apple Intelligence. Basically, your data is never stored.
besides Genmon Templeyou can create custom emojis simply by typing in a text message.
Apple Intelligence has many benefits, but we won’t know how useful they are until we have a chance to use them in the wild.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 14: Is it worth upgrading?
Unlike other generations, there are significant differences between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 14 – even if there’s only a two-year gap. With Dynamic Island, Action Buttons, new camera controls, longer battery life, a better camera, and Apple Intelligence, the iPhone 16 is the true successor to the iPhone 14 in almost every way (except for the 60Hz display).
The iPhone 14 is still a powerful enough smartphone to deliver a full iOS experience, but the iPhone 16 kicks off a new era of iPhone artificial intelligence, and for those who want to use artificial intelligence, it may be worth it. Advance together.
