iPhone 13 vs iPhone 14 Deals Compared
Should you get the iPhone 13 from Amazon or the iPhone 14 from Flipkart? If depends on your preference. If you’re on a budget and want to buy your first iPhone, then you should pick the iPhone 13 from Amazon. It comes with support for 5G, reliable performance with the A15 Bionic chip, has an OLED display, and offers a day’s worth of battery life. You can also trade in an eligible older handset for an exchange discount on Amazon, which can help you get the iPhone 13 for a lower price.
On Amazon, the iPhone 14 is currently listed at Rs. 59,999, which means that the Flipkart deal offers better value for money — if you’re sure that you want to purchase the newer model. However, there are a few things to consider while considering the iPhone 14.
The iPhone 14 offers few meaningful improvements over its predecessor, including one extra GPU core, the Action mode in the camera app, and Apple’s Photonic Engine for slightly improved lighting in photos. It is also expected to receive slightly longer software support from Apple, as it was launched a year after the iPhone 13.
If you’re undecided, remember to read our detailed iPhone 13 review and iPhone 14 review for a good look at both smartphones, their day-to-day performance, benchmark test results, and camera samples.
