Do iPhone 13 Pro Max cases fit 14 Pro Max?

Apple just announced its entire iPhone 14 lineup this week — and there are four new iPhones to choose from. There's the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. And on the higher-end, there's the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. There's no new "mini" iPhone this year.

If you're planning on upgrading from last year's iPhone 13 to this year's iPhone 14, you might be wondering if you're going to be able to still use your old case on the new iPhone.

Unfortunately the answer, broadly, is no. Though not for the same reason in every case. Here's the rundown.

Will iPhone 13 case fit on the iPhone 14?

Unfortunately not. Apple gave the iPhone 14 slightly different dimensions than the iPhone 13 — it's wider and deeper. It also tweaked the locations of the buttons and the speakers so that last year's case won't line up perfectly.

The bottom line: you're going to want to buy an iPhone 14 case for an iPhone 14.

Will iPhone 13 Pro case fit on the iPhone 14 Pro?

Again, the answer is no — but the mismatch is even more extreme when it comes to the iPhone 14 Pro. That's because in addition to moving the buttons and speakers slightly, Apple gave the iPhone 14 Pro a substantially bigger camera as it is need to house the massively upgraded lenses and sensors in the new model.

The bottom line: you will definitely need to buy a new case if you're upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro.

Will iPhone 13 Pro Max case fit on the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

Nope. Apple gave the iPhone 14 Pro Max a significantly larger camera bump to house its new sensors and triple-camera configuration and thus an old iPhone 13 Pro Max case will not fit on the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The bottom line: you will definitely need to buy a new case if you're upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Does an iPhone 14 case fit on an iPhone 14 Pro?

Nope. Even though they are relatively the same size, the Pro models have a significantly larger camera bump that will prevent an iPhone 14 case fitting correctly on it. This is the same reason why a case for an iPhone 14 Plus won't fit on an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

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.

Will the iPhone 13 Pro case fit iPhone 14 Pro?

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.
