Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 14
Our Verdict: If you've got the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the iPhone 14 is three years of updates on from it. The 14 5G supports 5G while the 11 Pro Max tops out at 4G, and the 11 Pro Max has the bigger battery of the two, 3969mAh against 3279mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 11 Pro Max has the bigger screen, 6.5" against 6.1", and the 14 5G is the lighter phone at 172g against 226g. The 14 5G is the better phone; upgrade from the 11 Pro Max if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.
If you'd rather pay up front, the 11 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £180 SIM-free.
