Short answer
iPhone 14 Pro is still a strong used iPhone: A16 chip, 48MP camera, Dynamic Island and 120Hz Always-On display. It misses USB-C and Apple Intelligence.
iPhone 14 Pro introduced the Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped area that shows alerts, music and Live Activities.
Why it still feels modern
- A16 Bionic remains very quick.
- A 48MP main camera that shoots 12MP photos by default and can shoot 48MP ProRAW.
- A 120Hz LTPO display with Always-On.
- Dynamic Island for Live Activities.
- Stainless steel frame.
Where it falls behind
- Lightning instead of USB-C.
- No Action Button or Camera Control.
- No Apple Intelligence.
- Battery likely aged.
Always-On display tips
The Always-On display dims and slows to 1Hz when the screen is idle. You can turn it off under Settings › Display & Brightness › Always On Display to save battery.
Used buying checklist
- Check battery health.
- Test the display for lines, burn-in and uneven dimming.
- Try Face ID and both cameras.
- Check the frame for dents.
