Design: Size matters
Visually, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max hardly differ. Both own them new Dynamic Island, which replaces the well-known Notch. In addition, both iPhone 14 models have the same colors to choose from. They only differ in one category: the size. Because while the iPhone 14 Pro comes with a 6.1-inch screen, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 6.7 inches.
This year, Apple only differentiates between these two sizes for all models: The former mini model is history for now. So Apple fans can choose either a standard size or the larger option.

Display: Top screens for both devices
Both models have Apple an OLED screen get donated. The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a resolution of 2796 x 1290 pixels. Good news for everyone who is more interested in the Pro model: Although it has the apparently lower resolution of 2556 x 1179 pixels, it has the same pixel density due to the smaller display.
Both smartphones are therefore reported with 460 ppi. This stands for “pixels per inch” and indicates how many pixels are per inch on the display. Accordingly, both iPhones display content crystal clear.
Performance: No clear winner visible
If you hold the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max in your hand, you should hardly notice any difference in performance. Works in both devices the new Bionic A16. According to Apple, the processor should work more energy-efficiently and perform better in multitasking and games thanks to a higher memory bandwidth.
All iPhone models of the new generation as well as some older models also receive it iOS 16. The new smartphone operating system also brings some new features that we have summarized for you elsewhere. The update should also improve system stability and performance, which has already been very good.
Tests have yet to show whether the differences to the previous iPhone generation are really big. While Apple has made some improvements to the chip, it has the new one in the ring still the same number of cores. As soon as there are any findings, we will add them here accordingly. One thing is certain: Even the slightly older iPhone generation will not become obsolete from one day to the next.
Camera Comparison: Snapshots with new camera
With the new iPhone generation, Apple has also revised the cameras. The great Jump from 12MP to 48MP but only happened with the two Pro models. However, these still only take 12 MP shots in the standard setting. This is due to the so-called pixel binning. Four pixels of the total 48 MP sensor are combined. In the end, it’s only 12 MP, but the larger pixels mean that more light can be captured. This results in better recordings, especially in poor lighting conditions.
If you still want to use the full resolution, you can do so in another photo mode. This is particularly suitable for landscape shots where you want to capture as many details as possible. The other lenses on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have changed only slightly.
Some have been given a smaller aperture, which also improves the light output. The selfie camera on the front can now focus on multiple people at the same time. Group selfies can be taken in just a few simple steps. But as you can see: there same camera tech in iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max stuck, you should base your decision on other areas.
Battery life: Max model at an advantage
When it comes to the battery, the iPhone 14 Pro Max can probably also use its size to its advantage. Because traditionally, a battery with a correspondingly larger capacity also fits into the larger Apple devices. Just as traditionally, Apple does not reveal what is in the devices. Tests have to show how big the difference really is.
However, we assume that there are both devices good through the day with normal use create. The iPhone 14 Pro Max should have more staying power. However, both devices save battery mainly due to the adaptive screen mode. The smartphone regulates the refresh rate based on the content displayed. Some low refresh rates are then sufficient for photos and websites, which consumes less power.
