Does an iPhone 13 Pro Case Fit the iPhone 14 Pro?

If you don’t want to buy a new case for your new iPhone 14 Pro device or want to save the environment from another item added to landfills, then you might think the iPhone 14 Pro model can fit into the 13 Pro model case. However, there are a couple of reasons why this proves difficult. 

Discover why the 13 Pro model case isn’t sufficient to adequately protect the 14 version and how we can help.

iPhone 13 Pro & 14 Pro Device Comparison

Size and Weight 

While the size and weight differences between the 13 and the new iPhone 14 design are minimal, they do affect the ability to slot the 14 Pro into a 13 Pro case. While the 14 Pro is only 3 grams heavier than the 13 Pro, the other dimensions are key to understanding why the two devices aren’t compatible for the same case.

For example, while the newest 13 model has a height of 146.7 mm, a width of 71.5 mm, and a depth of 7.65 mm, the latest 14 design has a height of 147.5 mm, the same width of 71.5 mm, and a greater depth of 7.85 mm. 

This means that while you might be able to squeeze the latter into the older model's case, the protector's alignment to the phone will be different, rendering the phone difficult to use. 

Buttons and Ports 

While the buttons and ports look as if they are in the same position from afar, on closer inspection, it’s clear that they are slightly misaligned, particularly the volume buttons. While it’s admirable not to want to waste a good case and potentially have to deal with the growing plastic problem, sadly, the older model's protector won’t suit the positioning of your volume buttons and power button on the newer device.

Camera

While the cameras of the two models are very similar, the cutout on the 14 model is more pronounced, and the camera bump is especially thick compared to that of the 13 version. Again, although these are marginal differences, a 13 case won’t be able to protect the 14 models as efficiently as an iPhone 14 Pro case designed with these features in mind. 

The camera on iPhones is a significant draw for purchasing these models, so you must have adequate protection to prevent any unwanted or accidental damage to the lenses. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Cases for iPhone 14 Pro and 13 Pro the Same?

The models have different dimensions; while only slight, the 13 and 14 models are too different to use the same case. Thus, the parameters of the 13 versus the 14 Pro case are different. It’s best to use the case designed for your specific model.
