Debating between iPhone 14 128GB at $830 versus iPhone 13 at $700 ($130 less). Both come with free AirPod Pros 2nd Gen, but the 13 comes with $150 gift card vs $200 gift card for the 14. Factoring that in, the price difference, with tax, may be around $90 instead of $130.

One advantage of the 14 is having 6GB of RAM, while the 13 has 4GB.

Personally, I'd go for the 14. If you're like the typical american and use your phone for 5 hours a day and keep it for 2.5 years, that $90 price difference works out to about 1.9 cents per-hour.

Is 50% more ram along with the other late-model improvements worth that to you?

In this case i’d get the 14, ONLY because ur getting $50 more in that gift card. but let’s say you weren’t getting free airpods or the gift card, you should stick with the 13. Sure it has 4GB of ram compared to the 14s 6 but who cares? You’ll eventually close your apps after you’re finished using them just like any normal person due to muscle memory. You’re paying $100 extra for 1% actual changes

TDLR, in this case i’d get the 14 but for the extra money on the gift card only. If you didn’t have these deals then the obvious choice would be the 13
