If you prioritize storage space and slightly better overall camera quality, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a great choice, but it is typically pricier than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both models have similar screen sizes and high-refresh-rate OLED displays. However, if you don't mind having a bit less storage and slightly lower camera performance, the iPhone 14 Pro Max offers a better battery life and comes at a lower price point. Keep in mind that the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a newer processor which may offer better performance and improved features such as an additional action button. Both phones are top-tier options with premium prices, top-notch displays, and no headphone jack, supporting the latest wireless standards, charging, and dual SIM capabilities. The operating system is iOS for both, ensuring a consistent user experience. Give Feedback

Pocket-lint

Britta O'Boyle | March 2023
"The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is not just big in form, it's big in character. There's a refreshed design that's really striking, especially in this larger format, coupled with performance enhancements, battery improvements, camera improvements, the Always-On Display and the Dynamic Island feature. It will be too big for some, but if you're looking for the best iPhone Apple has made to date in the biggest possible format, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is definitely the one - it is excellent."

"The iPhone 15 Pro Max is a powerful flagship phone that delivers upgrade-worthy features, including a lighter and more compact titanium design, a bigger 5x zoom and a useful Action button. The A17 Pro chip is the fastest around and enables console-quality gameplay, while the battery lasts an epic 14 hours."
