Will an iPhone 14 Case Fit an iPhone 13?

Whether someone has accidentally gifted you an iPhone 14 case instead of the 13, or perhaps someone has a spare and offered it to you, it’s essential to protect your phone (and have it looking fabulous). So, ensure you understand what models of the iPhone will fit in what case before you accept an iPhone 14 case. 

iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Case Compatibility

Does an iPhone 14 Case Fit an iPhone 13? 

At first glance, the 14 and the 13 are similar in size, so your new iPhone 14 should easily slot into a 13 case. That’s because the two models are very similar in size and weight. Both are the same height (14.68 cm or 5.78 inches) and width (7.16cm or 2.82 inches). 

But this is where the identical measurements end, as the iPhone is a little thicker than its predecessor, measuring 0.31 inches. However, this difference is only a margin of 0.01 inches, so while the thickness is different, it isn’t a stark contrast. 

Because the measurements are so similar, it’s likely that your 14 will slot into an iPhone 13 case. Yet, this is case-dependent. It’s also worth noting that the buttons and camera positions vary somewhat, too, so while the device might seemingly fit, the satisfying alignment you want might not be there. 

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

Much like the iPhone 14 and its earlier model, the Pro generations of the 14 and 13 are also very similar in their dimensions. The earlier model has a height of 146.7 mm (5.78 inches), a width of 71.5 mm (2.82 inches), and a depth of 7.65 mm (0.30 inches). At the same time, the 14 Pro measures 147.5 mm (5.81 inches) in width, has an identical width of 71.5 mm (2.81 inches), and a depth of 7.85 mm (0.31 inches). 

Much like the non-pro versions, the depth is only a difference of 0.01 inches, so this is barely noticeable to the naked eye. Likewise, with the same width, it’s hard to see that there is a difference. 

While minimal, there is a height difference, and the two models have slightly different button placement. To protect the oceans and planet, it’s essential to prevent unwanted plastic disposal where possible. So while nobody’s stopping you from trying to reuse your case, it’s likely that if you move from a 13 Pro to the later 14 model, you’ll need to invest in a new iPhone 14 case instead to get the perfect fit.

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

To save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, you must reduce and reuse wherever you can. So if you’ve upgraded to the iPhone Pro Max device, it’s essential to consider whether you can reuse your earlier case of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. 

Even just by looking at these two models, you should notice a difference in size. While the earlier model measures at 160.8 mm (6.33 inches) in height, 78.1 mm (3.07 inches) in width, and has a depth of 7.65 mm (0.30 inches), the later model measures at 160.7 mm (6.33 inches), a width of 77.6 mm (3.05 inches), and a depth of 7.85 mm (0.31 inches). The shorter height, narrower width, and thicker depth make it difficult to fit the 14 model in a 13 case. 

Much like the other models, the button and camera placements will also make it difficult to replicate the perfect fit of the earlier models’ cases and the ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do iPhone 13 and 14 Use the Same Case? 

The 13 and 14 have different sizes, but these are marginal differences, and it might be possible to use the same case, although you aren’t guaranteed the perfect fit due to button and port placement. For the variants of each model, you’ll likely need a new case as their sizes differ more dramatically. 

Final Thoughts

It’s important to reuse your case where possible, especially if it’s in good condition, instead of throwing it away. However, while reusing your case might work for some models, it’s not guaranteed to give the perfect fit - or fit at all.
