I"m a 6ft male. I tried the 13 pro max twice hoping I'd get used to its massive size. It was impossible. The max is just a massive, extremely heavy, unwieldy, uncomfortable brick. Very few people don't have access to a charger at some point during the day, so the battery life is moot. Screen size is nice, but I have an iPad. Went with 13 pro and now 14 pro and absolutely happy and zero regrets. Feels like a phone rather than a heavy, uncomfortable brick.
@@aleczr6I am used to the size because I typically prefer large Android phones, but the weight is noticeable, especially when wearing sweatpants or shorts. I know stainless steel is suppose to provide the sense of a more premium phone, but it would be nice if it was closer to the weight of the 14 plus.
thanks bro, you resolve my problem. i watching many videos for size, which is better. i want use one hand, and want more comfortable weight. also i think 240g are weightier
I was holding out for a 15 next year but if the cost is too high and the 14s have good deals, the 14pro would be my choice. Thank you, Aaron, for this video. It is a great help. Happy and successful 2023 to you and yours.
that's when people should be upgrading their phones, people complain that there aren't many new changes year over year but upgrading every 3-5 years is perfect as smartphones are beginning to plateau, congrats on your new phone and ill be upgrading my XR for the 14 pro max later this month when it arrives
I got the deep purple pro max with 1TB. Chinese version with two physical sim cards. Highly appreciate your videos Aaron. I'm actually from Germany but prefer to watch yours instead of the German speaking ones. Very professional and straight forward without too much unnecessary talking around. Thanks 😁
The find the size of the Pro Max phones a bit unwieldy for my smaller hands, but I’ve really wanted to experience the battery life on the larger phones and so went with the 14 Pro Max this year! No regrets, the battery life is much better than my 12 and I appreciate the increased screen size for visibility and content consumption.
Honestly the pro would of been good enough, went to 14 pro from the 12 and i can tell the battery life is alot better even though they have the same display size…the weight is noticeable too so I couldn’t imagine the max.
That's what i'm thinking this year, my current phone is the 12 Pro, and i'm thinking the 14 Pro Max will be my choice, mainly for the extra screen size for video watching purposes
Had the 11/12/13 Pro Max and decided to go with the 14 Pro this year. Love the size and comfort in my hand. Only con is battery life but it gets me through the day.
While I’m not upgrading to the iPhone 14 simply because I have a 13 Pro Max. I did choose the Pro Max because of size and battery life and I have not been disappointed. Thanks for all your videos Aaron , always look forward to them.
i switched sizes when i switched to the 14 Series from Pro Max to Pro. Since i mostly consume media when i have my iPad 12,9" with me (on travels in the Hotel or trains), i really don´t need the additional screen real estate anymore. Now i´m pretty fine with the smaller phone.
I got the 14 Pro Max in Space Black, 512GB. The Space Black just looks so sleek, and I was happy that they’re making the phone darker than just the regular Graphite. Love the battery life and screen size of the Pro Max. It’s truly amazing!
@@lorenzohudlun1976 How are you liking the 14 Pro Max and you came from the non-pro iPhone 11? I just ordered the 14 Pro since I already like the size of my current phone and don’t need the extra battery life.
@@lorenzohudlun1976 That’s awesome! How are you liking the cameras? Seen the phone once already and the display is a massive upgrade over the LCD on the 11. I especially cannot wait to finally have a phone with a 120Hz display.
Finally I decided for the Iphone 14 Pro Max, best fking decision ever!! The size is not as bad as ppl say and the big screen is AWESOME, also the battery last me 2 complete days :D
I went with the space black iPhone 14 Pro which I think is the perfect size. However I am hoping next year’s iPhones are titanium and are lighter to carry and hold.
Hi Aaron. Good video pointing out the differences. I was using an LG v30 for many years until recently. The roaming worked intermittently coupled with the desire to have the best camera in a smartphone influenced me to purchase my first iPhone, the 14 pro. Now, that I have had it for a few days, I am going to exchange it and go for the Pro Max. I need the battery life and bigger screen. I was first concerned about portability, hence my decision to purchase the 14 Pro but now I have decided the battery life and bigger screen/text is more important for my use cases (work productivity, reading, watching videos a lot).
I have the iPhone Silver 14 Pro 1TB. I prefer this model because of the size. I just don’t like having a big phone. Overall coming from the 11 the battery life on both is phenomenal. Good review. From 7am to 7pm I am at 40%. This phone haven’t died on my yet and I’ve been trying lol
If I may ask , What do you do ? Like what’s the use case for the 1tb storage I had a iPad Pro 11 ( 1st gen ) with 256 gb storage . Never ran out of storage Now I got an iPad Air 5 ( 64gb ) since I realised I’m never gonna fill up 256 . I got a 128gb model for my iPhone tho since I store more than 30 gigs of music .
Of course it's new, fresh and 100 batt health capacity. If you used it for years to come and batt health degrades, you'll be charging it twice or thrice a day 💀
@@sravans149 it’s mostly video and pictures. My last iPhone was 256GB and I had 20GB of storage left. Shooting 4K on this phone and with the 48MP takes a lot of space which I set my phone to shoot in. People will realize this down the road when they ask why my pics has so much space. Apple recommended anyways that you must have 256GB to even get ProRes / Cinematic mode which I use. Something to really consider which most don’t. But between Pictures, Videos and Games it will take a decent amount of space and I’m thinking longevity I don’t change phones for every 5 years or so. Before the 11 I had a iPhone 7 with 64GB so I double up space as I go along.
@@Ohkeh640 I would get the Anker 20W wall adapter one but I have the belkin one that sits on your nightstand that charges my phone and watch in one. It’s pretty quick
Went with the pro, should’ve went with the pro max for the battery life. Overall I don’t mind the 14pro but the bigger battery would’ve been nice. I’m satisfied with my choice since both of them were better than my 12pro. Anyone with a 13pro dont even bother!
6.7 inch is a great experience for media consumption and reading docs. BUT 240 gm is a brick....prolong use is a pain. I learned earlier from my Huawei mate 20 X ( 7.2 inch @ 232 gm) .....
I have a 12 pro max, loved it, bought a 14 pro max. I think the size is perfect at home or in a working day. Little to big for a stroll in the city. the positives outnumber the negatives
I don’t have small hands but I still prefer the size of the regular pro it’s just easier to handle and feels better in the hand and especially the pocket
We will both upgrade to the 14 Pro Max. My wife chooses to use the larger format screen over her laptop for most daily use and I don't find he size too large to fit in my front pants pocket. We are using the annual Upgrade plan so getting the next new iphone doesn't require comparing the amount or quality of annual improvemnts. If we were to buy an iPhone outright, we would keep our current 13 Pro Max versions because they do everything we need. And, we would have kept even our 11 until it no longer functioned. Each annual Upgrade has meant paying the same amount monthly for the past three years, or so. Since we don't mind the on-going monthly payment, changing each year is not reliant on any massive product improvement. Our phones remain under Apple Care+ and we gain any improvements as a matter of course.
Went with the 14 Pro. Battery has been good for me and the screen size is perfect plus I have an iPad if I truly want to watch something comfortably. I’m hoping Apple allows for more widgets in future iOS 16 releases. If I want to watch something while I’m on the go, I have the S22 Ultra as my secondary phone. AOD has been a long awaited feature needed. Just need more space for widgets …. 😢 Great video as always !
I am debating between 14 Pro and Samsung S22 ultra. I find the Ultra easier to hold than 14 Pro Max. But, I like the screen size of 14 Pro Max. What has your experience been between the two 14 Pro vs S22 Ultra? Thanks.
going to be upgrading to either of these 2 from my trusty XS . still contemplating on which one to get . on one hand , i will really appreciate the battery longevity and the larger screen as i consume a lot of media . on the other hand , i will be transitioning to a larger phone where it may pose handling issues since i’m used to one hand operation. can’t decide.
I upgraded from a XR to the 14 Pro, and honestly i'm more than happy. I tried the 13 Pro Max (not the 14, but the size is identical) at a local store and it was just way, way too big and heavy for me, even the 14 Pro is a little uncomfortable after the XR due to the thickness and the flat sides and i just can't imagine switching to the bigger size.
I got the 14 pro in space black & imo it’s the better option although you sacrifice some battery life it should still survive the day & everything else aside from display size is essentially the same.
I had the plus and max models ever since the 6, but 13 pro max became significantly heavy that it got so uncomfortable to hold. I decided to get the 14 pro this time and I’m probably not going back to the max model, battery life is a down grade but it doesn’t bother me as much.
After somewhat uncharacteristically holding on to my previous iPhone (an 11 Pro) far longer than usual, as I didn't find any of the 12's or 13's features in any way compelling, I picked up a Space Black 14 Pro. Since the Max phones came along, I've always preferred the smaller, 6.1" size, as the larger version is uncomfortable in my hand and seems ridiculous to me, akin to holding an iPad Mini up to one's face. I've had the 14 Pro since launch day and think it's just fine. I turned off the 'Always On' screen, as I don't see the point. If I'm not using my phone, it's either in my pocket or sitting on my desk. Time and notifications are readily visible on both my iMac and Apple Watch, so there's no point to incurring the extra battery drain. While the 48 MP ProRAW images are very good - and I'll certainly make use of the capability at times - I usually carry one of my Leicas and those images nearly always look better to me. All of that said, I heartily recommend the 14 Pro, especially for anyone still living with an 11 or older version.
@@djgupta5511 my last two iPhones were the 12 and 13. I thought 6.1 was the prefect size so I got the 6.1 14 pro. But then I was wanting a bigger size screen, bigger battery so I returned the pro for the pro max.
Been waiting for this one. But side note I ended up getting the space black iPhone 14 pro 124 gb. Upgraded from graphite iPhone 13 Pro. Was so close to going to the pro max for the bigger screen , but I just know for every day use and my active lifestyle I would want the smaller phone while I’m always on the go.
As a previous Samsung/ Android user, coming from the Galaxy S20+ I switched to the iPhone 14 Pro. (Space Black) I’ve had apple products for years. Their iMac computers and iPad Pro are excellent devices, but I stayed away from iPhones for the longest time because I didn’t feel they offered what I was looking for, though the camera system has always been the most appealing aspect technical wise that I wish Samsung and other android devices could match up to. From a design aspect, Apple always makes their phones look classy, but I wasn’t a fan of the notch design. Don’t h8 me, just a personal preference. This year they changed things enough and improved the cameras to the point where I was convinced to actual go for it. On top of that, the safety features are something I didn’t realize would be so important since my job requires a lot of driving. I like the island, it’s not intrusive to me but I can see how it can be for others, but I enjoy it. Overall, I actually really enjoy this phone. Sure I had to adapt to the different UI and yeah maybe I can’t have RUclips playing on a smaller screen as I multitask, but the optimization of the hardware and software is where this experience feels really good. I use my phone more as a tool anyway, and it does everything I want it to very well. I also love the weight of it. My other android phones were nice and light but would slip out easier. TLDR: Switched from Samsung to Apple. Love the experience and the optimization. Phone looks and feels really good. Battery holds well considering I use GPS for work. Overall I’m having a good time with it.
I have the s20plus and trying to decide on the Pro or Pro max. I kinda want to keep the same 6.7 screen but the max does weight alot. How did u find going to a smaller screen?
I initially planned for Pro 128 gb but my cousin insisted me to go for Pro Max 256 gb 🤩 now waiting for Oct 17th for its delivery … one month delivery time really sucks 🤦
@@bharathbhuvan570 if u travel mostly on 2 wheeler then go for pro bro. coz its right fit. but if u want good battery backup then go for pro max. I liked my Pro Max. its a bit heavy. more than quarter kg including case
Hello I’ve been watching your videos for a while I guess for about 2 year now, I’m currently using the iPhone 14 pro and I actually get good screen on time 9hr and 30minutes of screen on time and it’s actually great battery
I have a 12 Pro and just got my wife a 14 ProMax, I really like the big phone and the extra battery life would be nice but I’ve gone for walks now with her phone in my pocket and it just feels gigantic. My next new phone will probably not be a 6.7” version.
Also, if you used the dynamic island, you maybe realized that on the big phone it's quite unwieldy (having to reach the top of the screen is pretty annoying). I bet that this new feature becomes more useful on the regular 14 pro if it can be used one handed.
@@giogiosepicchannel5195 there is that however it’s bigger on the pro max due to the screen size so isn’t a lot better when using it. Reaching the top isn’t really to bad if an inconvenience
I don’t get why so many people want a pro max. It’s a heavier phone which is not good. It’s got bigger battery life. I had a 12 and it didn’t last long. This 14 pro lasts me all day. It’s perfect.
I went with the 14 Pro Max. I just got it yesterday & today I had 15 hours of screen on time & 10 minutes of screen off time & used just a little over 100% of my battery power. I am running iOS 16.0.2 & will NOT be putting any Betas on it as T-Mobile warned me it could void my Apple Care & T-Mobile 360 warranty!
Colors…the first thing you mentioned. I can’t imagine what difference it makes. Does one color function better than another? Of course not. 90% of people are going to cover it up anyway. People amaze me.
Coming from someone who takes time out of their day to make a comment like this. Will this comment change anyone's mind? Probably not. People amaze me. Some people put cases on their phone while others do not. Who cares if they prefer a certain color?
I have the iPhone 14 pro max in deep purple and love the size! I’ve always had the 6.1” screen and wanted a change lol. Will never go back. Love the 6.7”!
Yo I'd like to know what you think of the switch. I'm planning to do the exact same thing in a few months. Does the battery life downgrade suck and how useful is the dynamic island?
Great video keep up the good work I got the 14 pro max I always get the biggest and best one and I love it I will use this until the iPhone 15 pro max (ultra) comes out upgrade every year
In the past I have had the 6.1 size and before that the 3GS size. Twice I tried the Plus/Max sizes as well and they were cumbersome for one hand and vision wise didn’t make a real difference. So, I cared more about color and memory. So I have the 14 Pro in Deep Purple with 1.2TB
your eyes kinda adjust. unless its an iPad compared to a kindle or 5" to 6.7". 6" screen is mostly good enough for video viewing. The Lg Q7+ vs Samsung s22 ultra is not noticeable.
I really love the look of the Dynamic Island and the Back camera on the pro model. Its so cute and looks fit and proportioned better My only problem is the color! Help me Guys!
Black. You can put on any case to change the color and black goes with everything. I like Silver. But, if you go with Apple cases and some others, the bezels around the display are exposed. So it’s distracting when watching shows or using it IMO. I like black. No regrets.
Wanted a 14 Pro Max so bad but I’ve been reading about all these problems with the eSIM shutting phone down and people not being able to use their phones also camera issues and transfer issues where once transfer is complete it tells you you don’t have enough storage. Also problems w the dynamic island 🤦🏻♀️ Too many issues for me to give up my 11 Pro Max now.
@@sharptechnology1386was with me until December last year when i switched to 15 pro, battery was 98% under heavy usage, so yeah, ip 14 pmax was a good device, it is even now, we’ll see about AI stuff on Monday actually
Well, I want to get the iPhone 14 promax next year because my iPhone SE second Gen will be three years old next year and the iPhone 14 Pro Max the one I want is the deep purple 1TB and I know you can pay monthly or you can pay the yearly at Best Buy
I will switch from 11 pro Max to the 14pro! Am curious whether I will regret the change to the smaller model (battery life🙈) but I have small hands & the 14 pro Max was just too big & too heavy for me!
Literally same I had the green 11 pro. Switched to the purple 14 pro. Honestly I love the upgrade. Didnt charge for a whole day and I’m 60 percent. Screen looks amazing deff don’t regret the upgrade
14 Pro is a failure if you consider AOD eating into the already noticeably worse battery life compared to a 14Pro Max, also the 14 Pro Max has better thermal distribution which gives it higher CPU and GPU clock speeds which is a HUGE difference if you’re trying to buy the latest and greatest phone thinking you have the fast speeds on a 14 Pro when they are tuned down for thermals.
I preordered the space black 14 Pro Max 512gb. I have the XS Max and I like the size, the choice for me is easy. I also don’t consider 9 ounces to be heavy at all, it seems like a very strange talking point for anyone who doesn’t have a disability.
Which is your favorite iPhone? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.

6.7 inch is a great experience for media consumption and reading docs.
BUT 240 gm is a brick....prolong use is a pain.
I learned earlier from my Huawei mate 20 X ( 7.2 inch @ 232 gm) .....
I have a 12 pro max, loved it, bought a 14 pro max. I think the size is perfect at home or in a working day. Little to big for a stroll in the city. the positives outnumber the negatives
I’m staying with 13pro with gorgeous midnight green colour
I don’t have small hands but I still prefer the size of the regular pro it’s just easier to handle and feels better in the hand and especially the pocket
We will both upgrade to the 14 Pro Max. My wife chooses to use the larger format screen over her laptop for most daily use and I don't find he size too large to fit in my front pants pocket. We are using the annual Upgrade plan so getting the next new iphone doesn't require comparing the amount or quality of annual improvemnts. If we were to buy an iPhone outright, we would keep our current 13 Pro Max versions because they do everything we need. And, we would have kept even our 11 until it no longer functioned. Each annual Upgrade has meant paying the same amount monthly for the past three years, or so. Since we don't mind the on-going monthly payment, changing each year is not reliant on any massive product improvement. Our phones remain under Apple Care+ and we gain any improvements as a matter of course.
Went with the 14 Pro. Battery has been good for me and the screen size is perfect plus I have an iPad if I truly want to watch something comfortably. I’m hoping Apple allows for more widgets in future iOS 16 releases. If I want to watch something while I’m on the go, I have the S22 Ultra as my secondary phone. AOD has been a long awaited feature needed. Just need more space for widgets …. 😢 Great video as always !
I am debating between 14 Pro and Samsung S22 ultra. I find the Ultra easier to hold than 14 Pro Max. But, I like the screen size of 14 Pro Max. What has your experience been between the two 14 Pro vs S22 Ultra? Thanks.
I’m a plus and pro max user, from 13 pro max last year I went with 14 pro this time. No regrets
Battery?? Sot??
I went from an iPhone 12 to iPhone 14 Pro Max. You get use to the weight difference very quickly.
going to be upgrading to either of these 2 from my trusty XS . still contemplating on which one to get . on one hand , i will really appreciate the battery longevity and the larger screen as i consume a lot of media . on the other hand , i will be transitioning to a larger phone where it may pose handling issues since i’m used to one hand operation. can’t decide.
I upgraded from a XR to the 14 Pro, and honestly i'm more than happy. I tried the 13 Pro Max (not the 14, but the size is identical) at a local store and it was just way, way too big and heavy for me, even the 14 Pro is a little uncomfortable after the XR due to the thickness and the flat sides and i just can't imagine switching to the bigger size.
i'm upgrading from a 7 plus to the 14 pro max 😬
@@prdxqq wait for 15 pro max or ultra, is coming soon.
Went for 14 pro, no regrets 😊
does it last the whole day ?
@@FUERADEVISTA can’t last, need to charge in between the day now.
Great review love my 14 pro!
I got the 14 pro in space black & imo it’s the better option although you sacrifice some battery life it should still survive the day & everything else aside from display size is essentially the same.
I had the plus and max models ever since the 6, but 13 pro max became significantly heavy that it got so uncomfortable to hold. I decided to get the 14 pro this time and I’m probably not going back to the max model, battery life is a down grade but it doesn’t bother me as much.
Im here for your videos Aron like always #1 fan.
I have the 14 pro max deep purple 256 gb by the way.
I am buying the 14 pro tomorrow…super excited. I’m done with this 12 I have.
After somewhat uncharacteristically holding on to my previous iPhone (an 11 Pro) far longer than usual, as I didn't find any of the 12's or 13's features in any way compelling, I picked up a Space Black 14 Pro. Since the Max phones came along, I've always preferred the smaller, 6.1" size, as the larger version is uncomfortable in my hand and seems ridiculous to me, akin to holding an iPad Mini up to one's face.
I've had the 14 Pro since launch day and think it's just fine. I turned off the 'Always On' screen, as I don't see the point. If I'm not using my phone, it's either in my pocket or sitting on my desk. Time and notifications are readily visible on both my iMac and Apple Watch, so there's no point to incurring the extra battery drain. While the 48 MP ProRAW images are very good - and I'll certainly make use of the capability at times - I usually carry one of my Leicas and those images nearly always look better to me.
All of that said, I heartily recommend the 14 Pro, especially for anyone still living with an 11 or older version.
Went with the pro max!! Couldn't resist the almost 7 inch screen an hell of a phone!!!
not me going for an 14 pro from a 7 plus
I'm still undecided what to buy. The phone I'm using right now is an Iphone Xsmax.
Have the max pro myself an I love it!! It doesn’t feel as large as most may think!! Features are on point!!
I still got my iPhone 11 Pro midnight green!
Another great review, iPhone 14 Pro Max is the one I would advocate as the battery is larger & better for gaming, etc
I preordered the iPhone 14 pro 128gb Space black but ended up returning it for the iPhone 14 pro max 256gb deep purple. Max all the way!
What made u choose max over pro?
@@djgupta5511 my last two iPhones were the 12 and 13. I thought 6.1 was the prefect size so I got the 6.1 14 pro. But then I was wanting a bigger size screen, bigger battery so I returned the pro for the pro max.
@@marlon4592 u think u made the right decision? Because I’m thinking if doing the same thing
@@djgupta5511 yes. I’m loving the size and battery. I’m glad I made the switch.
Is the deep purple better than space black in real ??
Honestly if there wasn’t the dynamic island on the pro it wouldn’t have been such an easy choice to buy it
Been waiting for this one. But side note I ended up getting the space black iPhone 14 pro 124 gb. Upgraded from graphite iPhone 13 Pro. Was so close to going to the pro max for the bigger screen , but I just know for every day use and my active lifestyle I would want the smaller phone while I’m always on the go.
Battery? Sot?
@@MuscularMan008 battery was better in the 13 pro but I believe ios16 is the issue. They will polish it with the updates
Will you sell your 13 pro? What's your Instagram
@@FantasticGamingHighlights unfortunately the reason for upgrading was cause I lost my iphone 13 pro😔
@@IxIUnleAsHeDIxI how much are you getting ?? In one charge
As a previous Samsung/ Android user, coming from the Galaxy S20+ I switched to the iPhone 14 Pro. (Space Black)
I’ve had apple products for years. Their iMac computers and iPad Pro are excellent devices, but I stayed away from iPhones for the longest time because I didn’t feel they offered what I was looking for, though the camera system has always been the most appealing aspect technical wise that I wish Samsung and other android devices could match up to.
From a design aspect, Apple always makes their phones look classy, but I wasn’t a fan of the notch design. Don’t h8 me, just a personal preference.
This year they changed things enough and improved the cameras to the point where I was convinced to actual go for it. On top of that, the safety features are something I didn’t realize would be so important since my job requires a lot of driving.
I like the island, it’s not intrusive to me but I can see how it can be for others, but I enjoy it.
Overall, I actually really enjoy this phone. Sure I had to adapt to the different UI and yeah maybe I can’t have RUclips playing on a smaller screen as I multitask, but the optimization of the hardware and software is where this experience feels really good. I use my phone more as a tool anyway, and it does everything I want it to very well. I also love the weight of it. My other android phones were nice and light but would slip out easier.
TLDR: Switched from Samsung to Apple. Love the experience and the optimization. Phone looks and feels really good. Battery holds well considering I use GPS for work. Overall I’m having a good time with it.
I have the s20plus and trying to decide on the Pro or Pro max. I kinda want to keep the same 6.7 screen but the max does weight alot. How did u find going to a smaller screen?
@@Reivilyn I guess you'd get used to it, plus the price is also an issue for the Pro max for me.. still undsided
Upgraded from an 11 to the 14 Pro Max LOVE IT
i’m watching this on iphone 11 and i’m planning to buy 14 pro, thanks for this video❤❤
Went from 13 pro max to 14 pro and struggling with the screen size but also the phone is heavy so not sure if I should just keep the pro.
I initially planned for Pro 128 gb but my cousin insisted me to go for Pro Max 256 gb 🤩
now waiting for Oct 17th for its delivery … one month delivery time really sucks 🤦
Hey, even I purchased the 14 pro max in 256 gb on 17th October only. Btw, which color did you choose?
@@ytayade254 i got mine. its Deep Purple. Im liking it a lot … how about u?
What about the size guys? Is it comfortable? Or should I stick to Pro model?
@@bharathbhuvan570 if u travel mostly on 2 wheeler then go for pro bro. coz its right fit. but if u want good battery backup then go for pro max. I liked my Pro Max. its a bit heavy. more than quarter kg including case
@@SrinathKanugovi Same here. The performance is so great. Especially the gaming experience. It’s a beast! 😍🔥
Hello I’ve been watching your videos for a while I guess for about 2 year now, I’m currently using the iPhone 14 pro and I actually get good screen on time 9hr and 30minutes of screen on time and it’s actually great battery
I have the 13 Pro. The newer stats on the 14 Pro isn’t a massive improvement enough to make me wanna upgrade.
You must be broke to be rocking that old 13
@@gustavogo2915 nah, just being practical.
Excellent review
Great video again Aaron! I will go for the 14 pro 256gb which is a hefty 1459 euro here in Amsterdam, The Netherlands 😞
I pre ordered the 14 pro max in deep purple color and the 128GB internal storage memory
Love how black the Space Black is compared to Graphite.
I have 13 Pro (not Max) upgraded from XS Max last year.
I always get the regular Pro and now that there's a MagSafe battery pack, I get similar battery life from the Max phones.
I have a 12 Pro and just got my wife a 14 ProMax, I really like the big phone and the extra battery life would be nice but I’ve gone for walks now with her phone in my pocket and it just feels gigantic. My next new phone will probably not be a 6.7” version.
Also, if you used the dynamic island, you maybe realized that on the big phone it's quite unwieldy (having to reach the top of the screen is pretty annoying). I bet that this new feature becomes more useful on the regular 14 pro if it can be used one handed.
@@giogiosepicchannel5195 there is that however it’s bigger on the pro max due to the screen size so isn’t a lot better when using it. Reaching the top isn’t really to bad if an inconvenience
This video would be handy if my local Apple had some in stock. lol
Just got my iPhone 14 Pro Max 512GB today. Thanks for the review of both!
Nice review very simple... tomorrow i get my 14 pro max deep purple 💜
I went with the iPhone 14 Pro Max 512GB Space Black version
Is this normal on the 14 Pro and Pro Max? Looks like a really glitchy animation at the Statusbar that needs to be fixed. At 2:46 mins
From 13 Pro to 14 Pro, loving it❤
The pro should’ve been 6.3 inches instead. That to me is the sweet spot.
I don’t get why so many people want a pro max. It’s a heavier phone which is not good. It’s got bigger battery life. I had a 12 and it didn’t last long. This 14 pro lasts me all day. It’s perfect.
Thanks for sharing: very helpful. Blessings on your day 👍🏻
Lets start comparing software features as most high end phones are fast enough with great cameras
I went with the 14 Pro Max. I just got it yesterday & today I had 15 hours of screen on time & 10 minutes of screen off time & used just a little over 100% of my battery power. I am running iOS 16.0.2 & will NOT be putting any Betas on it as T-Mobile warned me it could void my Apple Care & T-Mobile 360 warranty!
Forgot 2 mention it’s the purple 256 GB 14 Pro Max.
I do still plan to beta test on my 2021 iPad Pro wi-fi only device as it does not have T-mobile 360 on it & does not have an e-sim on it.
How are you finding it?
I got the 14 Pro Max, it’s pretty cool so far.
Upgraded from an iPhone SE second GEN to an iPhone 14 pro. Enjoying so far.
awesome video! thank you
I’m currently using the 128 gb black iphone 14 pro 6.1 and i love it
Colors…the first thing you mentioned. I can’t imagine what difference it makes. Does one color function better than another? Of course not. 90% of people are going to cover it up anyway. People amaze me.
Coming from someone who takes time out of their day to make a comment like this. Will this comment change anyone's mind? Probably not. People amaze me. Some people put cases on their phone while others do not. Who cares if they prefer a certain color?
I have the iPhone 14 pro max in deep purple and love the size! I’ve always had the 6.1” screen and wanted a change lol. Will never go back. Love the 6.7”!
I had a 6.8" Phone prior, the size was getting annoying especially after I injured my hand. Went with Pro.
206 grams for that pro size is very bad handy feeling the pro max has the weight that matches it’s size and looks and feels better in hand
I decided to get the iPhone 14 pro max. I came from the XR. And the difference is clear. Not gonna upgrade for a long while.
same, how many gb did you get?
@@derekreynosa459 I decided on 256. I’m sure that’s gonna be a bit much for me but I’d rather not hit max storage within a year or 2
Space Black is my fave!
I’ve just gone from 13 Pro Max to 14 Pro. Pro is the perfect size for me.
Yo I'd like to know what you think of the switch. I'm planning to do the exact same thing in a few months. Does the battery life downgrade suck and how useful is the dynamic island?
Same i want to change from 13pro max to 14 pro
Great video keep up the good work I got the 14 pro max I always get the biggest and best one and I love it I will use this until the iPhone 15 pro max (ultra) comes out upgrade every year
I’ve taken out a contract on the space black 512GB iPhone 14 Pro Max. It should arrive by the start of November! Im so excited 😄
In the past I have had the 6.1 size and before that the 3GS size. Twice I tried the Plus/Max sizes as well and they were cumbersome for one hand and vision wise didn’t make a real difference.
So, I cared more about color and memory. So I have the 14 Pro in Deep Purple with 1.2TB
your eyes kinda adjust. unless its an iPad compared to a kindle or 5" to 6.7". 6" screen is mostly good enough for video viewing.
The Lg Q7+ vs Samsung s22 ultra is not noticeable.
I really love the look of the Dynamic Island and the Back camera on the pro model. Its so cute and looks fit and proportioned better
My only problem is the color! Help me
Guys!
Black. You can put on any case to change the color and black goes with everything. I like Silver. But, if you go with Apple cases and some others, the bezels around the display are exposed. So it’s distracting when watching shows or using it IMO. I like black. No regrets.
Super excited for my 14 pro max! Not due til the middle of this month.
Been an android guy for a few years. But decided to switch back to IPhone and ordered the 14 pro max in space black
Wanted a 14 Pro Max so bad but I’ve been reading about all these problems with the eSIM shutting phone down and people not being able to use their phones also camera issues and transfer issues where once transfer is complete it tells you you don’t have enough storage. Also problems w the dynamic island 🤦🏻♀️ Too many issues for me to give up my 11 Pro Max now.
I am using my 14 pro over a week, not a single problem with it :)
@@MoonchildTerabitejust one week 😅
@@sharptechnology1386was with me until December last year when i switched to 15 pro, battery was 98% under heavy usage, so yeah, ip 14 pmax was a good device, it is even now, we’ll see about AI stuff on Monday actually
Well, I want to get the iPhone 14 promax next year because my iPhone SE second Gen will be three years old next year and the iPhone 14 Pro Max the one I want is the deep purple 1TB and I know you can pay monthly or you can pay the yearly at Best Buy
Best video, Thanks! 👍🏻🙏🏻💜
Hi Aaron 😊
Well, for me as I’ve got it, 14 Pro Max!
I went for the 14 pro in golf no regrets 😊
I will switch from 11 pro Max to the 14pro! Am curious whether I will regret the change to the smaller model (battery life🙈) but I have small hands & the 14 pro Max was just too big & too heavy for me!
Literally same I had the green 11 pro. Switched to the purple 14 pro. Honestly I love the upgrade. Didnt charge for a whole day and I’m 60 percent. Screen looks amazing deff don’t regret the upgrade
@@ragerboy4831 Yes, I am also totally happy with the smaller 14 Pro, even with the battery! I have not regretted the change!
I always say I'm gonna go down to the "pro size" yet I stayed in the max fam with a 14 pro max this year... my battery anxiety gets the best of me lol
How's your battery life on the 14 pro max?
@@Sloliom lets just say I kinda wish I would've stayed with my 13 pro max... Its not terrible, but I'm definitely getting less screen-on time.
Nice sir i like all your video so much...
14 Pro is a failure if you consider AOD eating into the already noticeably worse battery life compared to a 14Pro Max, also the 14 Pro Max has better thermal distribution which gives it higher CPU and GPU clock speeds which is a HUGE difference if you’re trying to buy the latest and greatest phone thinking you have the fast speeds on a 14 Pro when they are tuned down for thermals.
Pro Max id big trash
Get both pro max for home and pro for outside. Don’t need iPad or laptop.
That’s what I want to do!
I preordered the space black 14 Pro Max 512gb. I have the XS Max and I like the size, the choice for me is easy.
I also don’t consider 9 ounces to be heavy at all, it seems like a very strange talking point for anyone who doesn’t have a disability.
Exactly. I’ve held both iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in my hand, and also in my pocket. I can hardly feel the difference in weight.
