This especially could be the case if you are having a harder time finding the iPhone 14 Pro during a shortage. And with a wide price range starting at $799 (£849, AU$1,399) for the iPhone 14 going all the way up to $1,099 for the Pro Max, you may want to be able to see what the differences are between all the models. And if you're somebody who fits one of those descriptions, then you probably don't need to spend the nearly $300 extra on an iPhone 13 mini.This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2023, CNET's collection of news, tips and advice around Apple's most popular product.Īpple's entire iPhone 14 line - including the standard iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max - are now available to purchase. It's an iPhone designed for people who haven't upgraded to a new iPhone in years -and for those people, it's going to seem like a huge leap forward - or for people buying their first iPhone. But again, the iPhone 13 mini is also almost twice as expensive.Įven though they're roughly the same size - which is important in this age of huge smartphones - the new iPhone SE isn't really meant to compete with the iPhone 13 mini. For example, it has a brighter and better display, it comes with more base storage, and comes with Apple's U1 chip (which allows it to do things like more seamlessly hand-off music to a HomePod mini speaker). The iPhone 13 mini is superior to the iPhone SE in pretty much every way, including ways other than the "big" ones that I've highlighted above. And it supports Cinematic mode on videos - which are awesome - while the iPhone SE can't capture those. While both smartphones can shoot Portrait Mode photos and capture beautiful 4K video at up to 60 fps, the extra ultra-wide lens on the iPhone 13 mini just gives you more options on photos that you'll actually use. The iPhone SE has a single-lens rear camera system consisting of a single 12-megapixel wide lens, while the iPhone 13 mini has a dual-lens rear camera system consisting of a slightly better 12-megapixel wide lens and 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. But it's just not as good as the camera on the iPhone 13 mini. And its A15 Bionic processor enables it to have some of the machine learning and camera capabilities of the iPhone 13 line, such as support for Smart HDR 4 and Deep Fusion, which helps it string multiple exposure shots together to deliver the best possible looking photo. The new iPhone SE doesn't have a bad camera - at all. Here are the three big things that iPhone SE sacrifices compared to the iPhone 13 mini. Or your love for the familiar form factor and features of an older iPhone. And, arguably, some reasons to even want the cheaper iPhone SE more.Īs somebody who has owned the iPhone 13 mini for almost six months, and who has been testing the new iPhone SE for the last few days, deciding between the two really comes down to the price you're willing to pay to get the best features. They also are relatively the same size (at least their bodies are, not their displays), so they feel very similar in your hand and pocket.īut there are some definite advantages to spending the extra $300 on the iPhone 13 mini. They have the same exact A15 Bionic processor, run the same operating system and pack features like support for 5G, meaning they're essentially future-proof for at least the next five years. Well, first off, it's important to note is that the two iPhones are actually a lot more alike than they are different. Will An iPhone 13 Case Fit on the New iPhone 14?
