Considering an upgrade
Screen diagonals are 6.1″ and 6.3″. iPhone 17 has the larger display, useful when space for spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows matters. This comparison covers the stated sizes; a different chassis size may change the conclusion.
Display refresh rates reach 60 and 120 Hz. iPhone 17 supports the higher rate, relevant to scrolling and animations; it does not by itself guarantee that frame rate in games.
iPhone 14 weighs 172 g and iPhone 17 weighs 177 g. The 5 g difference is small and is unlikely to be a decisive upgrade reason on its own.
Specified maximum SDR brightness is 800 and 1000 nits, higher on iPhone 17. Consider this in bright ambient light. HDR brightness is a separate specification.
