When searching for a flagship phone in 2023, one will surely come across two options: the Apple iPhone 14 Pro and a stick of salted butter.
With the two being so similar, I, Karl Zimmermann, decided to buy and compare them, so you don't have to.
Design
The iPhone 14 Pro and the Salted Butter both feature incredible designs which are strong in their own way.
The 14 Pro has a very premium-looking and premium-feeling design. It's made out of premium materials, with a frosted glass back, stainless steel side rails, and Ceramic Shield front.
The salted butter isn't so premium, being made out of, mainly, butter. However, it feels nicer in the hand with its slightly rounded edges and softer body.
The butter wins in this comparison.
Performance and User Experience
iOS is buttery-smooth compared to the butter's OS, which has no animations.
However, I need to commend the butter's stability. It has absolutely no bugs, and iOS 16 in its current state is very buggy.
The butter wins the UX category due to its stability.
Camera
The iPhone wins because it has a camera.
Battery
The iPhone 14 Pro gets about 10 hours of screen-on time in my usage. My unit of butter is good until 19 June 2024.
The butter wins in the battery catgory.
Nutritional value
Salted butter is high in sodium and fat.
The iPhone is not.
The iPhone wins.
Overall
All in all, the butter wins over the iPhone. However, the iPhone is the better buy if you have other Apple products or prefer the more premium design.
