Does the iphone 13 fit iphone 11 cases

The iPhone 14 lineup is coming in less than six months, and reports so far have painted a pretty clear of what to expect. As we inch closer to that release, iPhone 14 dummy units and molds are starting to emerge out of Apple’s supply chain. The latest leaked iPhone 14 designs were published this week by Mac Otakara, and they offer a closer look at whether or not your iPhone 13 cases will fit the new iPhone 14 lineup.

iPhone 14 cases and leaks

As a refresher, the iPhone 14 lineup is expected to consist of four models across two different screen sizes at 6.1-inches and 6.7-inches. This would include an iPhone 14, an iPhone 14 Max, an iPhone 14 Pro, and an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

These new dummy units and models published by Mac Otakara this week further corroborate these expectations and offer a closer look at the design changes we can expect. The most interesting tidbit here is that this is the first time we’ve seen tests on whether or not iPhone 13 cases will fit the new iPhone 14.

Given that the 6.1-inch screen size of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is the same as iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, one would assume that cases would be inter-compatible. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. A video from Mac Otakara shows that, somewhat unsurprisingly, the camera bump will be the issue.

As you can see in the video below, the larger camera bump on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro means that cases designed for the iPhone 13 won’t fit the new devices. You can see a bit of awkwardness around the camera bumps themselves, but Apple is also increasing the overall device thickness in part to accommodate that larger camera bump. This means that, even if you were willing to overlook some imperfections around the fit of the camera bump, the cases physically will not fit because of that thickness increase.

Meanwhile, as for the larger iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max, these dummy units show that cases designed for the iPhone 13 Pro Max should roughly fit both of the iPhone 14 models. The issue again, however, is the camera bump. The report explains that “the case itself could be installed, but it could not be completely installed because the rear camera hole interfered.”

If you just picked up your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, you might be wondering if your existing iPhone 13 case will fit the iPhone 14. Unfortunately, Apple has made enough changes to this year’s iPhone 14 models that you’ll need to buy new cases alongside your new iPhone this year. Here are the details.

Will iPhone 13 cases fit the iPhone 14?

As you can see in the table below, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are very, very close in terms of their overall dimensions. The biggest difference is that the iPhone 14 is 0.01-inches thicker than the iPhone 13. Realistically, this is not a big enough difference to impact case compatibility most of the time.

There’s another very minor change, though: Apple has ever-so-slightly shifted the location and size of the power button and volume buttons this year. More so than the changes in dimensions, this will be what breaks the compatibility between iPhone 13 cases and the iPhone.

For these reasons, the safest bet is to go ahead and splurge on a new case that’s designed exactly for the iPhone 14. Here are some of the most popular iPhone 14 cases we’re seeing so far:

• Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear Case
• TORRAS Magnetic Case for iPhone 14
• Caseology Silicone Case
• Spigen Thin Fit

Will iPhone 13 Pro cases fit the iPhone 14 Pro?

Unfortunately, the situation only gets worse if you’re upgrading from an iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 14 Pro. There aren’t huge changes to the dimensions, but they are bigger changes than the non-Pro models.

As you can see, Apple has increased the height, decreased the width, and increased the thickness of the iPhone 14 Pro in comparison to the iPhone 13 Pro. All of these differences add up to mean that your iPhone 13 Pro cases definitely won’t fit your iPhone 14 Pro. Additionally, the iPhone 14 Pro’s camera bump is even larger and wider than before.

Apple has also shifted the iPhone 14 Pro’s power button ad volume buttons, for yet another reason your cases won’t work.

• Spigen Ultra Hybrid
• Spigen Thin Fit 
• Spigen Liquid Air Armor
• TORRAS Diamond Clear

Will iPhone 13 Pro Max cases fit the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

The iPhone 14 Pro Max situation is pretty similar to the iPhone 14 Pro. While the height of the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the same, the new model is both narrower and thicker than its predecessor. The camera bump is also larger and the volume buttons and power button have been slightly relocated.

For all of these reasons, you’ll need a new case for your iPhone 14 Pro Max if you plan on upgrading this year.

• Caseology Skyfall Clear Case 
• Spigen Ultra Hybrid
• Spigen Mag Armor 
• ESR Krystec Clear Case

iPhone 14 Plus cases

Last but not least, there’s the iPhone 14 Plus. Given that this is an all-new model in Apple’s lineup, you’ll definitely need a new case for this one. While you could technically use an iPhone 13 Pro Max case, the fit would be far from precise due to significant differences in thickness as well as the size of the camera bump.

• Mkeke Clear Case
• okzilla Silicone Case
• TORRAS Slim Protective
