Apple iPhone 14 Pro vs Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Our Verdict: The clearest split between Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is screen size against portability. For the Max, that means a larger 6.7-inch screen and a larger 4,323 mAh battery. The regular Pro is easier to recommend for a lighter 206g body. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the Max for screen size; lean toward the regular Pro if portability is higher on your list.

Over a full contract, the Pro 5G works out around £539 all-in, about £430 less than the Pro Max 5G.
