In 2022 every iphone buyer faces a
difficult question – which one to buy?
14 pro or 14 pro max?
This
dilemma is exactly what we’re gonna cover in this video, because after using
these two very similar phones, I can't believe how different the
experiences are. After countless hours of comparing these two phones I
have figured out which one will be a wise purchase, and which one – a waste of
money. So, watch this video till the end to find out how to get the best
phone for the buck. Let’s change the strategy a bit – instead of comparing
head-to-head, I will compare use cases and how each phone performs in
them.
Size & Weight
Starting
with everyday use, pocketability, cases, comfort of holding and all that.14 Pro
easily takes a point here – it is much smaller with its 6.1 inch screen than pro
max with 6.7 inch tablet-like display. Both phones are built very
similarly – same thickness, same stainless steel frame, glass front and
back.But the weight is totally different, and believe me – your hands, and
especially your pinkie, will feel every ounce.14 pro weighs only 7.27 ounces or
206 grams, and pro max sits at 8.47 ounces or 240 grams. You may say – not
a big deal.But add a case to it, a magsafe wallet, a magsafe battery pack, and
you’ll get a pretty comfortable phone in one hand and a brick in the other.14
Pro max is a beast, and its size just screams about that. I don’t know how we
went from small 3.5 inch iPhones to 6.7 inch tablets.14 pro max is so much
larger than a regular 14 pro.14 pro max is a straight road towards getting
swollen hands, and destroyed pockets…I'm exaggerating but still.It’s a two-hand
phone at all times.14 Pro, however, is very comfortable. It’s still bulky
sometimes, but totally manageable.So yes, if you value comfort – 14 pro is your
man.
Watching videos.
We
watch most of the content on our phones, so watching experience is crucial.
Display
Display
size, brightness, resolution, etc.Both screens are incredibly bright and go up
to 2000 nits outdoors, have P3 color, and support 120 Hertz.Despite my love for
the smaller iPhones, the size is everything.14 Pro Max’s massive 6.7 inch
screen is just better.It’s sheer size makes everything look better, more
true-to-life. Watching videos, movies, and simply browsing the web is much
more convenient on 14ProMax.
Once
you taste it once, you can’t go back.After I’ve spent some time with 14 Pro Max
it took me a while to get used to a smaller screen of 14 Pro.No matter what
other people say – size matters.Don’t get me wrong – both displays are
fantastic, but pro max just pulls it off slightly better.But surely, if you’re
used to smaller screens, going straight for Pro Max might be a bit of a stretch
for you.
Gaming
You
may think now that you SHOULD buy pro max just because of that screen, but
I’m not done yet. That huge screen poses a real reachability
issue while watching something. Again, it’s a two-hand device, and
watching everything with two hands makes the experience too similar to the
one an iPad gives. Playing games is another use case. I want to say
that the gaming experience is identical, but it isn’t. Under the hood both
phones pack the same 4 nanometer A16 chip with 6 gigs of
ram. Performance-wise they’re identical, every synthetic test will confirm
that. But in games they perform differently. On one side 14 Pro is
better for time-killers and one-handed games. On the other hand, big games
with lots of controls, like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty are much more
enjoyable on the Pro Max. Bigger screens give more real estate for
controls and just make everything bigger. Call of Duty, as a very
competitive online game, benefits the most from large screens you see
enemies clearer, and your fingers obstruct less. Plus, let’s not forget
about throttling – Pro Max is physically bigger and has more space for
heat dissipation. 14 Pro heats up really fast and dims the screen
brightness almost straight away, but 14 Pro Max takes much longer to do
that. I have noticed that in some games 14 Pro Max doesn’t dim the screen
at all, which is great news for all mobile gamers out there. However,
if you play games in bed, holding your phone over your head, 14 Pro Max is much more
likely to slip and leave a nasty mark.
How about going outdoors on a
camping trip?
I
didn’t go myself, but managed to simulate the experience. What do we do on
such trips?
We
shoot photos and videos, watch movies, and listen to music.
Battery
In
other words – abuse the battery.
Again,
for the third time in a row 14 Pro Max gets a point.
A
regular 14 Pro has a 3200 mAh battery, and pro max has a 35 percent larger one
– 4323
mAh. As
you may have guessed – a bigger battery performs better.
I
don’t know what you have to do with your phone so the 14 pro max won’t last you
a
full
day. You’re watching videos for hours, playing games, shooting photos, and
it just keeps
going.14
Pro turns off but pro max still has some juice left. Even with that
always- on display.
Totally
useless feature in my opinion, but it drains battery substantially. And
even with always-on, the iPhone 14 pro max wipes the floor with a regular 14
pro. This doesn’t mean 14 Pro has small battery life, it outperforms many
Android flagships with bigger batteries. IT’s just not as good as you
can get on 14 pro max. Great, but not as great.

Cameras
It
may seem to you that 14 Pro Max is a no-brainer and 14 pro must be ignored
completely. But we haven’t talked about cameras and shooting
videos. No matter what you’re doing – a social media photography or
pro-level mobile photography both iPhones will perform absolutely
identical. All camera modules are the same, algorithms are the same, so
the results are the same. You won’t get here the difference we had with 12
pro Max and 12 Pro. on 14 Pro series iPhones Apple has updated the main
sensor to 48 Mpix, and the quality of all images taken has improved
dramatically. Especially if you’re shooting RAW. That new 48 Mpix
camera yields fantastic shots when shooting RAW – extremely
detailed, perfectly colored, with amazing attention to textures, shadows,
and amazing dynamic range.
I
guess we all can appreciate how far the cameras have gone in the last couple of
years. Even in 12 Mpix the shots look fantastic – the Photonic Engine
knows how to process images for sure. Low-light photography is
particularly great – there’s much less noise than in last year’s iPhones,
more details, better light source treatment. Plus, the results are consistent
– you’re getting great shots at all times. And the same goes to ultrawide
and telephoto cameras. Updated ultrawide sensor and better processing on
both do the trick. All images produced are equally great. I can’t
personally say that ultrawide is the pinnacle of technology, there is
still room for improvement, but even what we have performs reliably
great. I just wish Apple had given a bigger, better sensor next year so
the ultrawide would gather more light and more details.
Video
When
it comes to video, both phones are identical again. They both got upgraded
4K cinematic video and super smooth Action mode. Action mode performs
identical and has one weakness – it’s not very detailed. Cropped image and
use of ultrawide by default doesn’t sound like good quality to me. And
reality confirms that. Oh, almost forgot – the selfie camera now has
Autofocus and the images look even better. Phones still struggle sometimes
with white balance and dynamic range, but at least all faces are in
focus. Summing up the cameras, both iPhones will never disappoint
you. Everything you shoot will look amazing, trust me.
Everyday Use
What
about everyday use?
Well,
that’s something we all do, right?
How’s
the interface interaction and that Dynamic Island?
it’s
hard to come up with unusual use cases, so this one will be very trivial and
basic. And that’s where 14 Pro earns his points. using it is much
more comfortable, and all new features like Dynamic Island really
spread their wings on smaller pro iphone. The Dynamic Island is meant
to be interacted with, and doing it on smaller 14 Pro is
much easier. Reaching it doesn’t require using the reachability
functions, and all interface elements are much more accessible.
Interface Performance
Take
anything – social media, browsing the web, or texting – 14 Pro is much more
comfortable. 14 Pro Max gives bigger buttons and text, but nothing can
beat the comfort of reaching everything with one hand. When it comes
to fluidity and interface performance – both iPhones are equally
magnificent. 120 Hertz screens make every scroll a true pleasure, and a
fast processor opens apps faster than you think.
Conclusion
But
I will give a point to a regular 14 Pro simply because it’s much more
comfortable in everyday use. So, is there anything else to
discuss? I guess it’s time for conclusions. If I was to choose
between 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max I would take…. 14 Pro. This small phone
packs all the features as its big brother, but has no size-related
disadvantages. Yes, the battery is smaller, but you will rarely notice
that simply because everyone puts their phone to charge
overnight. And the price – let’s not forget that 14 Pro costs 1 thousand
dollars and 14 pro max – 1100 dollars. 100 dollars does give you a
much bigger phone with beefier battery and larger screen, but you lose
comfort and usability. For a thousand dollars 14 Pro is a better deal in
my opinion.
