Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max vs Apple iPhone 15 Pro
Our Verdict: There's only a year between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro, so expect small changes rather than big ones. The 14 Pro Max 5G has the bigger battery of the two, 4323mAh against 3274mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 14 Pro Max 5G has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1". The 15 Pro 5G is the lighter phone at 187g against 240g. The differences are small, so buy the 14 Pro Max 5G if it's cheaper; the 15 Pro 5G just gets software updates for longer.
Total contract costs are about level, around £611 for either phone.
