Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Our Verdict: The iPhone 14 Plus is three years newer than the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it shows in the specs. Only the 14 Plus 5G is a 5G phone; the 11 Pro Max maxes out at 4G, and the 14 Plus 5G has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.5". The 14 Plus 5G is the lighter phone at 203g against 226g. The 14 Plus 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.
