iPhone 14 Pro in 2024 - worth it? (Review)

The iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max turn 2 this year, but still feel like the Pro flagships they've always been- boasting the Dynamic Island, ProMotion, robust cameras and stainless steel design. Are they still worth buying in 2024?

The iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max are pretty great. Would recommend 14/14
...any of you using them? What do you think? Are they still worth purchasing on the used market?

I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max bought it on day one and love it. Don’t plan on upgrading anytime soon.

Been using my 14promax for 2 years without any issues. Still a great phone!

Got mine back in Feb of 2023 so far it’s held up extremely well still feels like it’s new excellent performance very bright and smooth display the camera is still top notch I actually love the Dynamic Island

I've had the 14 Pro since launch and even now, I'm LOVING it! My battery health is at 85% so I am looking to replace that in the next couple months but other than that I don't see a reason to upgrade yet.

Recently changed from an iPhone 12 to a 14 pro and the battery is great. I can finally feel safe when being outside and my phone saying 20%

My kids got the mid year dark green 13 Pro and, although I love the colour, I hate the weight of their phone. Was very pleased to see the introduction of Titanium in the 15 Proa. After saying that, I’ve recently downsized from the XS to a 13 Mini, so won’t be upgrading again for a while.

Thanks for the content.

Sure as hell is! I bought my 14 Pro for an upgrade from my 12 mini and battery health on 14 Pro is still 99%. It’s still worth buying and while it is tempting not to jump to a 15 Pro just cause of USBC, I still love my 14 Pro as it still has an amazingly good camera, takes amazing video I use for YouTube, OLED screen, and 120hZ. It’s way worth buying over the 15 I would say.

I use the black color 14 pro with battery health of 90% been rocking since release

[saturnotaku]

My purple 14 Pro 128 GB that was purchased on launch day is still going strong. The always on screen is far and away my favorite feature and won't buy another phone without it.

Youre making me miss Canada lol, cant wait to be back in Toronto in 2 weeks.

I have had my 14 pro since October 2022 and love everything about it. I have no plans to upgrade until my phone is literally dead and won't turn on anymore

The Dynamic Island and AOD are quite significant upgrades over the predecessors.

Still using my 14 Pro as daily driver for over a year. It serves me pretty well without much issues.
Battery health now at relatively healthy 95% and body has few minor random micro scratches and whatnot.

It's still a flagship in every sense, maybe battery could be lil better but it's great all rounder nonetheless.

iPhone XS served me very well for 4 years plus before I decided to upgrade. I upgraded to regular 14 at first, but didn't really feel too much of a different apart from much improved battery life of new iPhones series (13 series onwards). So after 3 months in, I made up my mind and upgraded to 14 Pro instead. There's a leap of upgrades that actually matters.

Smartphones are reaching saturated market and every new smartphone is just incremental upgrades over the last generation. I'm keeping my 14 Pro for longer and will replace the battery when needed rather than upgrading to newer ones.

Still perfectly happy with my 13 Pro Max. No reason to upgrade yet whatsoever

14PM is kinda good ngl. Just upgraded from a walkie talkie.

[rstigc]

Upgraded to the 14Pm from a SE gen 1

Havent regretted it one bit. One thing I have to say, I have never used AOD. Tried to when first got the phone but did some comparisons on battery life, and AOD KILLS the battery life. AOD on I always HAD to plug the phone at the end of the day. Without it EVEN 1.5 years later I still can get 2 days of battery life quite often (This is moderate use). And you still have to lift the phone up to see the notifications which ad that point theres no advantage to AOD. While gamming the A16 is still a beast and refresh rate is a really nice thing. Also, I went to the Apple store to check out the 15PM and man, I fell that the 14Pm is a more solid phone the hold, however the more rounded edges feel way better to hold for longer periods.

All in all im looking to squeeze as mutch as posible from my 14Pro Max even more since I got the 1tb model. Im doing just like my old SE im keeping it up until apple no longer supports it.

Solid phone but battery has been the worst of the iPhones I owned. Bought on release day, and already at 84% of battery left.

[jpracing]

Can't believe it's 2 years already, been one of my favourite iPhone's still holds up so well not noticed any slow down, camera is great battery last all day and I've really come to love the dynamics island - I'll be upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro Max Ultra whatever they end up calling it but ill definitely be keeping the 14 Pro Max as my work phone, nice little upgrade from my 12 pro max in that department.

[santiagomartinguzman]

[impala]
