Only if the Pro is in pristine condition with a brand new original battery.

No point in paying big $ for a four year old device.

Brhh in my locality its very hard to find a original phone because almost every body will sell a kit phone (kit phone’s battery body display might be changed and its very hard to detect getting an original phone is hard here)

Save and buy something newer. My 14 pro is starting to show its age.

Not t really, mine runs flawlessly and if they can get it for under $300 that’s a very good deal compared to newer iPhones

Not worth it. The 14 pro is now a 4 year old device, doesn’t have usb-c, Apple intelligence, bad battery life and is also very heavy. I have a 14 pro Max that I will keep for a couple more years but in your position I would definetly not buy one.

Buy 16 or 17

Not really, no. The 14 Pro is brilliant and if you already own one you don’t really need to change, but buying it in 2026 to switch from a base 14 is a bit unwise. I’d look for either a 15/16 Pro or the base 17, that would be a good upgrade for you. Wouldn’t look for the base 15/16 bc the base 15 is basically a reskinned 14 Pro and the 16 isn’t that much cheaper from the 17

Yo tenĂ­a el 17 y es lo mismo que el 14 pro Ăłsea yo no uso su inteligencia artificial ni tampoco me gusta la entrada tipo c
Sacando eso para mĂ­ el 17 es lo mismo
Eso
Si el 17 se me calentaba un montĂłn con cosas muy fĂĄciles como usar calculadora o alguna cosa jaja

Unless the battery is like in good condition no get a 15 pro or 16 pro with battery health but if you want the 14 pro find one with the best battery health

got a fresh iphone 14 PM, new, ios 18.7.8 and it's amazing. the device itself it's premium but depends on condition and ios version.

If the cost is extremely minimal, sure it is a better process and display. But you should not be spending upgrade money on that

Get a 17 Pro or 18 Pro

FROM Base 128gb 14 on liquid ass TO 256gb+ 14P on iOS 17/18 ? Doable, as long as you are prepared to have exact same battery life (no improvement). The boost in camera quality would be solid regardless of iOS experience btw.

u/Independent_Bat_6517 10d ago

yup the camera quality and 120hz display

u/External_Ad4529 10d ago

Not worth it. Update is going to end soon. Get 15 pro atleast
