iPhone 14 Pro VS iPhone 14 Pro Max: comparison and differences

What changes

First of all, size

Impossible to miss;the iPhone 14 Pro Max is biggerthan the iPhone 14 Pro. More precisely, we are counting here on 1.32 cm more in height and 0.61 cm more in width. The thickness, however, is the same, but you will still have more difficulty holding the large model in your hand than the other without slipping. You will necessarily have to support it a minimum with your little finger.

The weight

Logically, a larger smartphone means greater mass. This is confirmed in terms of weight with34 g more on the scale for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This is perhaps not significant given that the two mobiles each weigh more than 200 g, but if you add a protective shell, it starts to do so.

iPhone 14 Pro Max VS iPhone 14 Pro: screen

Here too, it will not surprise you to learn that the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is more imposing than that of the iPhone 14 Pro. Apple often talks about 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, but in reality it's a little more subtle. Indeed, the iPhone 14 Pro offers a diagonal of6.12 inches(without taking into account rounded corners). In the same way, we only reach6.69 incheswith the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The pixel density, on the other hand, is identical:460 ppi. As for the definition, it is 2,796 x 1,290 pixels on iPhone 14 Pro Max compared to 2,556 x 1,179 pixels on iPhone 14 Pro. The comfort is therefore quite similar in terms of imaging but for games or films, it is more pleasant to have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

But also: the price

Unsurprisingly, Apple also offers much more advantageous prices with the iPhone 14 Pro, because the screen is the most expensive part of the mobile. Here are the official prices in the Apple Store:

• 1,329 euros for the iPhone 14 Pro(128 Go)
• 1 459 euros pour l’iPhone 14 Pro (256 Go)
• 1 719 euros pour l’iPhone 14 Pro (512 Go)
• 1,979 euros for the iPhone 14 Pro (1 TB)
• 1,479 euros for the iPhone 14 Pro Max(128 Go)

• 1 869 euros pour l’iPhone 14 Pro Max (512 Go)
• 2 129 euros pour l’iPhone 14 Pro Max (1 To)
