Focus is horrendous on 14 pro.

Zoom during facetime calls - garbage

Battery life on 1y old used 13 pro is same as 14pro.

Man…

I knew battery life wouldn't be great over last years since they normally brag about it in the keynotes. They only bragged about the 14 Plus battery.

Honestly the focus is my only complaint about the camera. I pretty much never use macro mode.

Battery life is unreal, I don’t feel the urge to check my % throughout the day anymore.

Granted I have the bigger Pro.

14 pro nonMax is also very good but does not feel like improvement over 13 pro

Zoom as in the app or the zoom feature while using Facetime? And on the front camera or back?

Back camera, switching between zoom levels. It cannot focus on anything at 3x or further

Ugh. Yeah, just did a search on Reddit about this issue and seems to be a big deal. I am having a very tough time deciding between 14 and 14 Pro and this is one issue that's making me lean towards the 14 and being $200 cheaper of course (or $300 if I get the 128GB iP14 versus 256GB iP14P as the latter is minimum to take ProRes videos). I hate that the 14 can't hardware zoom but maybe I'll just buy an external telephoto lens for phones, they're like $50. Obviously not convenient having to use an extra external lens though and reduces the cost difference between the phones.

Why not get brand new 13 pro? Honestly - best deal at reasonable price

They're hard to find new now since Apple stopped making them when they released the 14s. And I'm trying to get a carrier deal and with a payment plan, none have new 13P/PMs with any sort of deal or any at all. Used ones coming off of Amazon or Swappa are a gamble if you read the reviews and they don't have payment plans, you have to pay the full cost up front.

You can record ProRes with both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro in 128GB. The difference is that you need at least a 256GB model to record in ProRes @ 4K. The 128GB models still support ProRes, but are limited to 1080p while filming in ProRes.
