Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro

Our Verdict: There's only a year between the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro, so expect small changes rather than big ones. The 14 Pro 5G has the better camera on paper, 48MP versus 12MP, and there's more battery in the 13 Pro Max, 4352mAh to 3200mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 13 Pro Max has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1", and the 14 Pro 5G uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the 13 Pro Max's LCD. The 14 Pro 5G is worth the extra if the updates matter to you, but the 13 Pro Max is a good buy if the price has dropped.

If you'd rather pay up front, the 13 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £289 SIM-free.
