Apple iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Our Verdict: The iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are three years apart, which is enough for a real difference. The 14 Pro Max 5G leads on camera hardware with a 48MP main sensor to the 11 Pro's 12MP, and the 14 Pro Max 5G supports 5G while the 11 Pro tops out at 4G. The 14 Pro Max 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4323mAh against 3046mAh, which usually means longer between charges, and storage goes higher on the 14 Pro Max 5G, up to 1TB against 512GB. The 14 Pro Max 5G is the better phone; upgrade from the 11 Pro if you want the newer hardware, or hold on if yours still does the job.

Buying outright, the 11 Pro starts at £135 SIM-free.
