So if social media and photo/videos are your primary mobile device activities, I'd recommend the 13 pro or 13 pro max (the latter only if you want the larger screen). The 13 pro is a great value right now if you're paying out of pocket. For a bit more money you could get the 14 pro (look at carrier deals because those can be good) and that will future proof you for a bit longer.

The downside of the 14 lineup (if purchasing in the U.S.) is that there is no SIM tray (all eSIM), which might be a concern if you do a lot of international traveling and like cheap data plans with SIM cards. But the 14 has some nice features like crash detection and satellite phone capabilities (coming soon). The 14 definitely has a brighter screen though that is much easier to see outdoors (it was the first thing I noticed going from the 13 pro max to 14 pro max).

If you do a lot of hiking or frequently find yourself away from areas with cell reception or spend a lot of time looking at your phone outdoors, those are good reasons to justify one of the 14 series phones. But if you're looking to save a few dollars and don't care about those features, definitely look at the 13 pro.
