The first time Apple made a larger iPhone, the visible differences between it and the standard model were minimal, but a look at the spec sheet revealed a different story, as there was something extra on offer besides the display and battery size.

Now, such differences between the standard and larger models have been present in an off-and-on pattern over the last few years, and here we will dive into the details of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max to see if there are any such differences, enabling extra features on the latter.

Are There Any Differences Between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max?

The most noticeable difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max is their screen sizes. This results in the iPhone 14 Pro Max having a larger 6.7-inch screen and a 4,323 mAh battery—the latter being an exact match compared to the iPhone 14 Plus. And since the iPhone 14 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen, it features a much smaller 3,200 mAh cell.

Like the iPhone 13 Pro series, there are no camera hardware differences; this is a positive for compact phone enthusiasts, as Apple has often provided extra camera features on its larger phone.

Is the Larger Size an Advantage for the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

Because iOS doesn't offer any additional software features that can make the most of a larger screen, the 6.7-inch display of the iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn't add any advantage apart from being a larger canvas for text or for users to consume content.

As for the larger battery, the main advantage it brings is greater endurance. While our iPhone 14 Pro review spoke of how the 6.1-inch device will last through a day of use with ease, the iPhone 14 Pro Max enables even more usage before you'll have to find a port for charging.

Choose the iPhone 14 Pro Max for Better Battery Endurance

The distinct differences between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are few, which brings the deciding factor to endurance.

If you'd like to make the most of your new iPhone and use all its features—like the Always-On display and Live Notifications—with close-to-no battery anxiety, the latter is the better pick.

But if you're looking for the best iPhone on the market that isn't gigantic, the iPhone 14 Pro fills the void perfectly. Plus, maximizing its battery life isn't too difficult!
