Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 14 Plus
Our Verdict: There's only a year between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Plus, so expect small changes rather than big ones. The 13 Pro Max goes up to 1TB of storage, where the 14 Plus 5G tops out at 512GB, and the 14 Plus 5G uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 13 Pro Max's LCD. The 14 Plus 5G is the lighter phone at 203g against 238g. Get the 14 Plus 5G for a few more years of updates, or save money with the 13 Pro Max if you don't mind.
If you'd rather pay up front, the 14 Plus 5G is the cheaper buy at £240 SIM-free.
