TheiPhone 14 Prois here, quite literally: I bought mine at the weekend and it’s sitting in front of me alongside theiPhone 13 ProI’m trading in. That phone was our pick of theiPhone 13range, and I think the 14 Pro deserves the same accolade here: it’s significantly better than the standardiPhone 14in terms of processing power, camera power and battery power too. But here are five things I wish I’d known before buying it.
1. Apple Stores are often better than online ordering
2. Some colours sell better
3. Your old case won’t fit
The new camera bump is in a slightly different place and has slightly different dimensions compared to the iPhone 13 Pro, so you can’t just pop the case off your old one and stick it on the new one. Boo.
4. Gift cards come back if you’re trading in
If you have an Apple Store gift card, which I did, then you can of course use it towards the cost of your new iPhone – and in my case that meant I wasn’t stretching quite so much to afford the iPhone 14 Pro, as it’s more expensive in the UK this year. But if you’re trading your old phone in with Apple, which I am, then the value of your gift card will come back to you as part of your trade-in money – so if your trade-in is £500 and you’ve used a £100 gift card too, you’ll get £400 back and a new £100 gift card.
5. Early adopters get the gremlins
This isn’t unique to the iPhone 14, I know, but this year seems to have been an unusually buggy year for the iPhone 14 Pro: there’s a serious bug that makes the camera shake alarmingly in some third-party apps (a fix is coming next week) and I’ve encountered various weirdness iniOS16 too. As nice is it is to have a brand new iPhone within hours of it going on sale, it does mean putting up with various teething troubles.
