If you’re thinking about switching from an iPhone 13 bought last year to an iPhone 14 this year, you might wonder if you can still use your old phone case with the new device.
On a quick glance, the appearance and specifications of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 may look similar, yet the actual dimensions of both handsets may cause a misfit while thinking of reusing an old cover.
Let’s check out the difference between the design, size and features of all the iPhone 13 and 14 models, which makes the iPhone 13 cases a misfit for your iPhone 14.
iPhone 13 Vs iPhone 14
Dimensions:
iPhone 13: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.65 mm
iPhone 14: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm
With a slight difference in dimensions, iPhone 14’s larger camera module is what makes the two devices’ case compatibility problematic. The biggest challenge is the thickness difference of 0.15 mm between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13. Also, the power buttons and volume buttons’ position and size have been slightly modified by Apple in iPhone 14.
For these above-mentioned reasons, it’s best to spend money on a brand-new cover created specifically for the iPhone 14.
iPhone 13 Pro Vs iPhone 14 Pro
Dimensions:
iPhone 13 Pro: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.65 mm
iPhone 14 Pro: 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.85 mm
A case cannot be shared between the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro due to the hardware differences between the two models. If you’re purchasing the iPhone 14 Pro, a new case is a requirement because the iPhone 14 Pro has a larger camera and redesigned button positions that a case for the iPhone 13 Pro cannot handle.
iPhone 13 Pro Max Vs iPhone 14 Pro Max
Dimensions:
iPhone 13 Pro Max: 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.65 mm
iPhone 14 Pro Max: 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.85 mm
With a huge difference in dimensions, it is definite that iPhone 14 Pro Max will not fit in your iPhone 13 Pro Max case. The buttons are now placed differently on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and also sports a larger camera module.
iPhone 14 Plus
Dimension: 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.8 mm
You’ll definitely need a new case for this one because it’s an entirely new model in Apple’s iPhone portfolio. An iPhone 13 Pro Max case would be far from perfect due to the size of the camera bump and the noticeable variances in thickness.
So, do you need a new case for your iPhone 14?
A phone case that doesn’t fit, after all, can cause damage to your newly bought iPhone and may look weird too, hence buying a new case that fits well is the perfect option to go with!
