Will your iPhone 13 case fit the iPhone 14?

By

If you’ve decided to buy the iPhone 14, it’s likely you will also need a solid case to keep your new device safe. Even though all of the iPhone 14 models feature a durable Ceramic Shield front cover to keep your device safe, it may not be enough to protect your phone from heavy impacts, long drops, and constant scratches.

We’ve already done the hard work and rounded up the best iPhone 14 cases available in the market right now, and we’ve also given you a guide to the best iPhone 14 screen protectors for extra security, as well as guides for each of the other new iPhones as well. But maybe you’re wondering, “Do I really have to spend money on a new case after buying an $800 iPhone?” or “Can’t I just use my iPhone 13 case?”

We feel you. But the short answer is: for some models. Here’s the longer answer.

Will the iPhone 13 case fit the iPhone 14 device?

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 look quite similar, and the specs are pretty close in terms of size and dimensions, so it’s possible the two devices can share a case. The iPhone 14 is slightly thicker than its predecessor, but the overall differences are minor enough that the iPhone 13 case is likely to be functional enough for your new iPhone 14 model. Some manufacturers are already selling a common case for iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, so if you’re migrating from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14, you can keep the old case. Of course, if you feel the fit isn’t good enough, you can always invest in a new case.

Unfortunately, the hardware of the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro is significantly different, so the two devices can’t share a case. The iPhone 14 Pro has a bigger camera and new button placements that a iPhone 13 Pro case can’t accommodate, so if you’re buying the iPhone 14 Pro, a new case is a required investment.

Will the iPhone 13 Pro Max case fit iPhone 14 Pro Max or iPhone 14 Plus?

An iPhone 13 Pro Max case won’t fit the iPhone 14 Pro Max or iPhone 14 Plus models considering their different structures. The iPhone 14 Pro Max boasts a bigger camera and different button placements, so the old case simply won’t fit. Here, buying a new case would be much better. If you’re opting for the iPhone 14 Plus, you’ll need to buy a completely new case anyway, because this is a new model, and none of the older cases will fit perfectly. 

Will the iPhone 14 case fit other iPhone 14 models?

Just because they launched together doesn’t mean they can share a case. Because of their different structures, you can’t use the case of one iPhone 14 model for other iPhone 14 models. The iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro have 6.1-inch displays while the iPhone 14 Plus and the iPhone 14 Pro Max have 6.7-inch displays. The iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone Pro Max also feature an additional camera lens, making their hardware different from other iPhones in this range. These differences will make it hard to use the same case for different iPhone 14 models, so we recommend investing in a new case for each new iPhone you purchase, considering it’ll offer effective protection for a fraction of the price.

Whatever budget you come with, you can find several high-quality cases from brands like Apple, Spigen, Ringke, Otterbox, Speck, and many others in our best cases roundups, such as the best cases for the iPhone 14, best cases for the iPhone 14 Plus, best cases for the iPhone 14 Pro, and the best cases for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Two people holding the Fairphone 4 showing off the phone's rear side.

After nearly two years of wondering if it'll ever be sold officially in the U.S., the Fairphone 4 — a smartphone that hangs its hat on its repairable design — has finally launched in North America. With the evergrowing issue of e-waste, it's nice to see a company that's focused on following sustainable practices that allow users to fix their phones themselves instead of the all-too-common problem of having to throw out your iPhone and buy a new one when small issues occur.

Take note that the U.S. release of the Fairphone 4 is actually a variant called the Murena Fairphone 4, which differs from the base device with its Android-based operating system /e/OS.

The Motorola Defy Satellite Link dongle.

When the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro launched last year, one of the hallmark features was their integrated satellite connectivity — enabling you to call for help or share your location with loved ones using satellites. Now, the Motorola Defy Satellite Link is launching in North America, allowing you to send satellite messages from your existing smartphone.

Announced at MWC 2023, the Motorola Defy Satellite Link is a small, key fob-like device that pairs with your iPhone or Android phone via Bluetooth and, in doing so, connects your smartphone to satellites orbiting Earth 22,300 miles away in space.

iPhone 15: release date and price predictions, leaks, rumors, and more
iPhone 15 render by 4RMD

As great as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are, they're both already a few months old at this point, and the rumors about the iPhone 15 are well underway. We still have several months before the iPhone 15 models drop, though, as Apple usually makes iPhone announcements in the fall. In other words, there's still a lot of time for more rumors to make the rounds -- and make the rounds they will.

We're keeping all of the reports and rumors of the iPhone 15 here in a single place for your convenience, but do remember to keep in mind that these are all still just speculation. Nothing is final until Apple confirms it during an official announcement. Still, a lot of the rumors give us an idea of what to expect each year, which is unfortunate if you like surprises. Here's everything we know about the iPhone 15 so far!
