We Want You to Know the Real Difference Between iPhone 14 and iPhone 15

Apple has introduced the new entry-level iPhone 16e, while removing the iPhone 14 from its lineup. But guess what? We still have it in stock! So, if you’re looking to buy an Apple Refurbished iPhone 14 or 14 Plus, please visit our store at CostPlusPhones.com.

But let’s talk about something else—do you know the difference between the iPhone 15, which is still on sale, and the iPhone 14, which has been discontinued? Let’s break it down so you can make the right choice. We believe that both iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are definitely worth your attention. Let’s get started!

Design – What’s on the Outside?

Look closely at the photo—can you spot which one is the iPhone 15 and which is the iPhone 14? The one on the left is the iPhone 15! They look identical, don’t they?

At first glance, they look like identical twins—when turned off, the only thing that sets them apart is their color options:

• iPhone 14 comes in six colors: blue, purple, yellow, midnight, starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED.
• iPhone 15 comes in five colors: pink, yellow, green, blue, and black.

The color tones are completely different. Even if you compare the same yellow shade, the iPhone 14’s yellow is bright and classic, while the iPhone 15’s yellow is soft, like the first rays of sunrise behind a misty haze. The iPhone 14’s yellow is like the scorching midday sun, whereas the iPhone 15’s yellow is more subtle and delicate.

Another key difference is the charging port:

• iPhone 14 still uses Lightning.
• iPhone 15 now has USB-C, as Apple adopted the universal charging standard to reduce environmental impact.

And when you turn on the phone, you’ll notice another major change: the iPhone 15 has Dynamic Island, while the iPhone 14 does not.

What’s Different on the Inside?

The main internal differences are:

• Processor: iPhone 15 has an A16 chip, while iPhone 14 has an A15 chip.
• Brightness: The iPhone 15’s display is slightly brighter than the iPhone 14’s.

That’s about it! Battery life, water resistance, display resolution, and MagSafe—all remain the same.

But there’s one more thing—the camera. Let’s talk about that separately.

How Good Is the Camera?

At first glance, the camera setup looks identical. Both have what Apple calls a dual-camera system (basically, two lenses).

However, this is where the real differences begin:

• iPhone 15’s main camera: 48MP, while its Ultra Wide camera is 12MP.
• iPhone 14’s main and Ultra Wide cameras: both 12MP.

The iPhone 15 also has updated HDR and a 2x optical zoom option.

Final Verdict

These two phones are almost twins, with only a few key differences:

1.    Different color options.

2.    Dynamic Island on iPhone 15.

3.    Faster processor in iPhone 15.

4.    48MP camera in iPhone 15.
