The next iPhone is coming soon and it will be a radically different device if you go for the higher-end iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. The premium ‘Pro’ line is expected to come with a new pill-shaped hole-punch display, better cameras and processor upgrades, and that’s almost certain to happen this year. For someone who still uses the iPhoneX, the next iPhone 14 Pro will be radically different. Released in 2017, the $1,000 iPhone X was instrumental in expanding the premium smartphone market that is known today. If you’re considering an upgrade from iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro, you might be wondering: what exactly is the difference between the two models?
Here’s everything you need to know about how the iPhone 14 Pro compares to the iPhone X based on the rumors so far.
iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone X: Design
Debuted five years ago, the iPhone X brought a new design language to your iPhone. In fact, the iPhone X still looks brand new with the 5.8-inch screen stretching from one edge to the other; it covers the entire front, with only a thin button and no home button. Newer iPhones still use the basic design template that the iPhone X introduced, including the notch that houses FaceID. The iPhone 12 had introduced a completely flat design along with the edges. Last year’s iPhone 13 didn’t really change the basic design, with the exception of a smaller notch and a different camera layout.

But the iPhone 14 Pro could be a totally new device from a design point of view. Both the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will ditch the notch this year in favor of a new hole-punch and pill-shaped cutout. Apparently, the camera bump on the iPhone 14 Pro will be larger to accommodate the new camera hardware. Like the iPhone X, the iPhone 14 Pro will be IP68-rated for water resistance, won’t have a headphone jack, and will have wireless charging capabilities. Sorry folks, iPhone 14 Pro is expected to keep Lightning port like iPhone X.
iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone X: Display
The iPhone X featured a 5.8-inch Super Retina display, and while the OLED display is super bright and colorful, the panel is nothing like what you get on the iPhone Pro models. The iPhone 14 Pro may have a panel much brighter compared to last year’s model, but will still have a 120Hz refresh rate and a ProMotion display. Unlike iPhone Pro models, the iPhone X screen refreshes at 60 frames per second, or 60 Hz.

iPhone 14 Pro vs. iPhone X: Cameras
As is often the case with new iPhones, cameras often get upgraded capabilities and the iPhone 14 Pro will be no different. The iPhone X when it came on the market was superior to the rival Android smartphones in terms of the camera system, with two 12 MP rear cameras: a wide-angle shooter with an aperture of f/1.8 and a telephoto lens with an aperture of f/2.4. While the iPhone X’s camera isn’t bad, it’s nowhere near the iPhone Pro’s camera system, which not only has three lenses (a main camera, an ultra-wide shooter, and a telephoto lens), but also superior low-light capabilities. and a LIDAR Sensor. In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro, the high-end smartphone is expected to feature an upgraded 48MP camera sensor, up from 12MP in previous iPhones. Apple may also upgrade the front-facing cameras on the iPhone 14 series. Rumor has it that Apple has chosen a supplier for its front-facing camera to make a high-end lens.

iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone X: Processor and battery
The iPhone X’s A11 processor is fast and should have enough power to run popular games and must-have apps for at least a year or two. But compared to the A16 chip used in the iPhone 14 Pro, the new processor is sure to outperform the A11 in both benchmarks and real-life usage. And it is not surprising. Teardowns revealed that the iPhone X came with 3GB of RAM; Similar teardowns have revealed 6GB of RAM in higher-priced iPhone Pro models.
Storage on base iPhone Pro models eventually topped 64GB. To put it into perspective, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at 128GB for the base model. iPhone Pro models can also connect to 5G, something the iPhone X can’t. When it starts up, the iPhone 14 Pro will run iOS 16, which will also be compatible with the iPhone X, but we can’t say whether the latter model will receive future iOS updates next year and beyond.
Although Apple doesn’t talk about battery size, the iPhone X had a 2716 mAh battery. That helped the phone last more than a day on a single charge. We don’t know much about the battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro, but based on last year’s iPhone 13 Pro Max (the one with a 6.7-inch screen), that phone lasted much longer in our battery test when browsing the web. in 4G. Apple added a new MagSafe feature to its new iPhone models that allows you to connect compatible accessories with magnets. The iPhone X obviously does not have the MagSafe feature.
The first versions of Jon Prosser’s iPhone 14 Pro suggest a new design language and a pill-shaped hole-punch display.
iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone X: Time to upgrade?
It has been five years since the iPhone X debuted, and in all those years Apple has introduced many new features to the iPhone. If you’re thinking of upgrading to a new iPhone, wait until the iPhone 14 Pro hits the market in September or when Apple plans to hold its flashy hardware event later in the year. Without a doubt, the iPhone 14 Pro will be superior to the iPhone X in every way. Will the iPhone 14 Pro cost more than the iPhone X? Absolutely. iPhone Pro models already cost more than $999, but newer iPhones may see a $100 price increase, according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives. Expect the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro to cost $1,099 and $1,199, respectively.
