Do you ever fully charge your phone? I always unplug at 85 or 90%. I’ve never fully charged my phone since I’ve bought it with fear of battery degradation
The battery life is indeed the most understated reason for getting the 14 Pro Max. I’ve been using Pro Max for the past few iPhones. But for 14, I decided to get the 14 Pro. Loved it, until I found that the battery wasn’t enough for me especially on vacation when the screen is operating at high brightness in outdoor conditions. The phone always dies on me mid day. After 6 months, I sold the 14 Pro and switched back to 14 Pro Max.
nice, cuz u re power user, all my phones I ever had never died mid day cuz of battery, even now with garbage s22 battery xd I mostly use reddit, youtube and IG
Yea i cant stand the max’s size so I got the 14pro and i got the battery pack and im good like that I love the small size its my favorite phone so far the interactive bar is so cool and useful the phone really feels fluid, I had a pro max 12 before rhis btw
I switched from 12 mini to 14 Pro Max because of battery capacity. And it really impressed me, since December I never have to worry about the battery die on me, especially in the most critical moments.
If only it’s physically possible to have the 120hz display, cameras, and battery life of a pro in the body of a mini or iPhone X, that would be perfect 😄
I went from the regular iPhone 13 to the 14 Pro Max, and I have to say, the 14 Pro Max is an absolute beast when it comes to photp quality, and the battery life is INSANE. It’s been 8 days since I purchased the 14 Pro Max, and I’ve only had to charge it lnce a day or eve. every two days, which is AWESOME.
This was my dilemma before when choosing between the 13 Pro vs the 13 Pro Max. I liked the look and weight of the Pro but there is something with the Pro Max that was telling me to get it. The bigger screen and the bigger battery. After getting the Pro Max, I really enjoyed it till today and have not regret it at all. Its heavy but the battery and screen outweighs the weight of it.
I have a Iphone XR right now wich is already pretty big. I am wondering what the weight difference would be between the pro max and XR The size wouldn’t really be a problem for me i think since i have been using the Iphone XR for like 4 years now
@@captainoblivionthicc1004 I’m still using an 11 Pro Max and I’m thinking about downsizing to save $100 and I’m getting annoyed with how heavy it is plus it makes my shorts go down plus I want to make more room for my pocket for other things
Hi i live in ethiopia and i always wanted to have this phone please buy me this one i really need to have it iam a photographer and this will help me pursue my career
I have the smaller iPhone 13 Pro, and I absolutely 100% don’t regret it. I love the smaller size and it’s so much more comfortable to hold and type on. I always plug in my phone in my car so battery life isn’t a huge deal for me. And I can comfortably type on the smaller screen. If I want to have a bigger screen for content consumption, I’ll go to my iPad. If you want the Max, go ahead. The screen on the Max phones are beautiful, but I love the smaller Pro and don’t regret it.
You’re just like my brother. He absolutely HATES big phones. That’s why he went with the regular pro, while my dad and I went with the pro max. And yes! The pro max is definitely a lot more heavier than the pro. And carrying it around does feel a bit weird. You can just feel the weight difference. But the reason my dad and I went with the pro max was mainly because of the battery. The phone lasts up to 2 days before I need to charge it again. So that’s the pro for the max. But yeah! Since he went with the pro, he has to charge his phone like every single day. While my dad and I only need to charge ours every 2 days. So yeah! You get what you pay for
Always Pro. Comfort is the number 1 priority for me as it's the way in which I interact with the device. it's like gameplay in a videogame. 14 Pro Max is a chungus and unusable one hand unless you are a goliath.
1000% agree with this. The weight of the Max is tough, but after switching from Pro Max to Pro, to Mini, then back to Pro Max, it will be a long time before I choose a smaller phone. A Pro Mini with ProMotion would be the only thing stirring me away from the battery life I get.
I have the pro max and everything he said is true. When I was deciding what phone I wanted it really came down to battery life for me. The pro feels nice but I work long hours and need a phone that can keep up with me.
I’ve got the Pro. It was a decision totally based on the one-hand usability debate. There are many situations where this is applicable, it’s more about the freedom of use. No problems with the battery, I get by 1 day easily. Also, more use of the phone is not very healthy 🤷♂️.
Pairing the pro with a battery pack has improved my experience. The pack is pocketable and the extra 1300 ish mAh removes my worry of draining it out before reaching home again.
I moved from an XS to 14 pro and this already feels bulkier and heavier. No chance I’m going for the max. I value portability and weight. I just prefer a smaller phone.
@@Moose185 I can understand that, but in my case, I never get the “luxurous” battery life on my iPhones that others report that they get, no matter how much I tweak my settings. So for me the bigger battery offsets the increase in bulk. I have to carry a MagSafe battery pack in my back pocket as it is now to get through the day without plugging into a wall.
That’s one of the most reasons I went with the pro max is because of the battery life and I liked that macro camera feature when it first came out. I’m using the 13 pro max. If the pro has the battery life like the pro max do I would’ve went with the pro, I really like the size of the pro but the battery life of the pro max. I don’t have to worry about charging my phone through the day no matter how I use it, it last until I’m finished with it.
Deciding based on battery life is not logical. There is power everywhere. It’s like buying a bigger car because the gas tank is bigger. Now you’re stuck with a big car with gas stations all over.
I went Pro Max this time. It is heavy. I sometimes hate it because it's so big and heavy. But that screen is gorgeous. The battery life is amazing. And I can also type way better and faster on the Pro max.... so I am staying Max on the 15 .... hopefully titanium and lighter.
I move a lot when I work, and I can’t move around as well with an iPhone Pro Max in my pocket, especially when I squat or climbing up to perform inspections.I have no problems with battery as I have access to charging area & powerbank. Even with the normal Pro I have to becareful. Yup, size does matter and the 14 PM is way too big for me.
Have been using iphone 14 pro for few weeks now. yeah i do struggle sometimes with the keyboard (as i’m typing this text), but yeah i do like the size and the battery life is impressive so far and can take me throughout the day with about 20% left. It’s a really big upgrade for me coming from iphone 8 plus but i do miss the bigger size of the max
I had an iPhone X for a while and then upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max to solve my main complaint with the X (horrible battery life). I still have that 11 Pro Max. I still don't have to charge it more than once overnight, and my next iPhone will be a Pro Max, should they call it that. Not only does it reduce battery anxiety, the phone itself can stay with you for longer without feeling like you need to upgrade. It is the value choice.
Being visually impaired the max version is an absolute. I had the pro version but even upon increasing size of fonts the scrolling was tedious. The max however allows me not only increase the size of the fonts but with more screen space scrolling is much more convenient as I can see more content at one time so there's no question that the max is the one for
I would agree with difficulties typing with the iPhone 14 Pro's keyboard.. Even though I've been using it for months now, I still experience typing issues. But I love my iPhone 14 Pro. Great content!
Went with 14 pro max on launch day. I think now i’m considering dropping down to a regular 6.1 inch model. That really is the sweet spot, the 6.7 inch is tough to navigate with one hand.
It’s basically just battery life and big screen for content vs portability and comfortability (weight and one handed use). Whatever you value more will be your decision. If the battery life was the same I’d get the Pro, I don’t care about content on phones that much, but it’s not so I got the max. Ending a full day of work, gym, hanging out with friends, watching TH-cam and Netflix on my commute and having 20% left from 8am to 10pm. The bigger screen is better for content but #1 plus is the battery life. I hate carrying chargers and battery banks
Your comment of "since the iPhone 11 Pro, the only difference between the Pro and Pro max are screen size and battery" is incorrect. There was a difference in camera for the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
I just bought the pro max. I have pretty big hands, I love bigger screens, I love heaviness because to me it feels more premium and I’m a battery hog so it was a no brainer for me.
I was thoroughly shocked at the usefulness of the “dynamic island” thingy. My initial reaction was “meh, whatever” but over time, the number of things that pop up there and help you out are great. It displays important GPS info (I drive a TON for my job so I noticed that immediately), it has distinct animations for various Bluetooth devices, it takes you right back to the app it’s currently “servicing” when you tap on it, it spreads way out for momentary, important stuff like face id and all that. It’s a really interesting concept. The next thing I’d like to see is some level of customization for it.
I’ve always gone for the bigger sized model regardless of brand. But now days that all models has the same specs, you shouldn’t have to go bigger to get the better option. Only reason would be screen real-estate, and battery. The Pro Max is too big and heavy. And I miss the days when phones where made out of plastic. amore durable and lighter. And where you har removable batteries.
Recently, I went from the iPhone X to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I love it! I don’t know why it took me so long to move to the Max size, but I’m never going back.
5:20 i've actually put my 14 pro max on a perfectly calibrated proffessional weight scale and it measured it 260 without a case, and when i put my case on, it showed 290 grams, which is wild.
I’ve had iPhone Plus and iPhone Max since both were first introduced. But recently my job gave me the iPhone 13 Pro and not gone to lie I’m enjoying the smaller size the way it fits in the hand. Makes me wonder should I get the smaller size for my next upgrade 🤔
I upgraded from the regular iPhone 13 to the 14 Pro max because i missed having the larger size phone. I was trying to get the 13 Pro max but was not available so i got the 14 Pro Max. You are definately right about the weight difference. I noticed the weight difference instantly but have gotten used to it. I've always been about the larger phones ever since i had the Galaxy Note 3.
I've been looking for the 13 Pro Max. It's not available near me either unless it's refurbished... I will more likely choose the Pro Max since I have larger hands. I had a Note as well! I love that series!!
I changed my mind! When I first checked out, purchasing the iPhone Pro, I thought I was happy, but then I compared it to my other non Apple phone that was larger. I realized then that I couldn't live comfortably on a smaller phone as the visual benefits if the larger phone far outweigh the size concerns. So, I canceled the sale and repurchased the iPhone Pro Max. After using my iPhone 14 Pro Max now, I have no regrets, but instead am so happy! Texting... I swipe more than text. Visuals... best for movies, web viewing, spreadsheets. Jerry is right... go up... not down!
i know im a bit late to the iphone 14 gang but i went from a standard iphone 12 to 14 pro max and it didnt feel that much bigger to me (thinking about it i probaly just have big hands and thats why the 14 pro max feels more natural i can use it one handed easily
I had the 13 pro max but ended up selling it and going to the 13 pro. The battery is go enough to make it through the day. I brought the anker MagSafe battery for rare occasions I need more battery and can plug into the wall to charge. The pro max phones are to wide in my opinion. I have big hands and its still a lot of phone to hold. The max feels like holding a brick and I felt like long phone calls can be fatiguing. I don’t regret the smaller phone.
I went from the 13 promax to the 14 Pro the first week it was hard to get used to the smaller screen but after that week the 14 pro is the way to go. I feel like the software was made to be compatible with the pro. Everything is so hard to reach on the max not only that but the weight is another factor made my hand hurt all the time. Plus the battery on the 14 Pro isn’t all that bad. Definitely not as good as a 13 pro max but I’m always near a charger, so battery life isn’t an issue.
I still remember regretting getting the smaller phone but I always had to remind myself why I got the smaller phone in the first place. Comfort and usability if your always on the go.
Still loving my 13 mini I got on launch day. I use my iPad for media consumption, so have never had an issue with battery. I’m usually around 1-1.5hr screen on time. I like that I use my phone less, but know that I can do anything I want with it once I do use it.
I’ve always bought either the Plus or Max sized phones. With the 14 I switched to the 14 Pro. I just love the smaller sized phone. I do a lot of hiking and I like to take photo’s, for me it is so much easier to carry the Pro. It’s lighter and just handier. I don’t miss anything about the Max. If Im going to be away from a Charger for an extended period of time I just carry a mag safe battery pack in my pocket or sling bag. While I wonder about the rumored telephoto lens on the upcoming iphone 15 Pro Max , or Ultra , I just don’t see myself going back to the larger, heavier Max sized phone.
I got a Pro Max since yesterday (my first one, always had the normal Pro before)… and I’m asking myself why I didn’t go to it earlier. The battery life seems to be (for first impression) sooo much better. And it was for me the main reason to switch. I always had to charge my phone before during the day and I was just annoyed by it. Yes the Max is pretty heavy but not that much more then the Pro. And the normal Pro was a two hands phone for me also… sooo I have no regrets going for a Max.
I had the 13 Pro Max. I loved it but it was so God dam heavy after a while. Everyday use because cumbersome. Upgraded to 14 pro and I'm loving the size
It’s funny because after owning both across various generations, I find that although the Max has the bigger battery it only lasts slightly longer for my usage. For example if I charge my phone around 6 pm I’m charging the max around 6:20/30 which negates the point of getting a larger phone for me. I got big hands and long fingers but for some reason the pro max phones are just uncomfortable to hold especially when compared to competitor phones like say the S23 ultra. So will probably be sticking with the pro models until the next full redesign.
coming from an iphone 7 then switching to 14 pro max, i hadn’t experienced battery anxiety ever since… its crazy actually, i used to frequently check my battery and then charge multiple times in a day with my iphone 7… i dont have the same situation now with my new iphone
I’m subscribing just because you talked about Pocketability of the iPhone. So many tech TH-camrs don’t talk about the phone sizes being a hinderance in the pocket, but you did, so I’m subbing this channel! 👍
Women usually have small pockets so the normal size is better than the pro max in my daily life. Also I like to carry smaller purses and the pro max doesn’t fit in them at all. Honestly the best phone I can imagine is a size between the 6.1 inch models and the 5.4 mini models WITH a better battery 👍🏻
I’ve been a Pro Max user since the Xs Max. I prefer a larger screen and battery. Somehow I’ve got disappointed with the 14 Pro Max’s battery performance but with some improvements due to iOS updates. I’ve notice a slight improvement on iOS 16.4.1.
Aren't also the 13pro /pro max models of last year even better than the 14 series. I heard many complaints about that. This was also part of the reason i do not use a 13 pro max, but at the end it's all based of personal preferences.
After using the iPhone 13 Pro Max I deceided to get the 14 Pro (not max). I love the size and the battery still get's me through the day, sadly not 2 days like the 13 Pro Max did but I still enjoy it.
I have the 13 pro max and i have never worried about battery life. Even on the longest i can have 10-20% battery left. Makes the max option worth it in my opinion
I just switched from an iPhone X to an iPhone 14 Pro (Substantial upgrade, I know). After a few days I loved the bigger and more vibrant screen but my only complaint was it feels really bulky to hold compared to the X, which i got very accustomed to. I’m getting used to the slightly larger iPhone 14 Pro after a week. I was on the fence between the Pro and Pro Max, but after a week, I can indisputably say that I made the right choice. I can’t imagine walking around and holding a phone any bigger than the iPhone 14 Pro.
It’s funny seeing different people’s takes on this. I used an iPad Mini 2 in place of a phone in high school. Now my iPhone XR, which has the same screen size as the 14 but a body size halfway between the pro/pro max due to bezels, feels small to me. Oh, I got used to it and can certainly appreciate how much better it is one-handed and how much more easily it can fit into my pockets - but, truth be told, if iPad Mini 6 could be used as a phone without having another phone and two cellular plans, I would upgrade from my XR to the current Mini, because I miss having a “phone” that big. Instead, I’m planning on buying a 15 Pro Max this year. It’s supposed to have record-breaking thin bezels and so a 6.7 inch display won’t be much bigger than the body of my 6.1-inch XR, but the extra screen real estate from being 10% wider and taller, and having a much smaller notch, should be more like what I miss.
@@swagger6166 ??? General speed and performance up from “still decently usable but by no means fast” to top of the line Cameras from “you can almost always tell what’s in them” to crisp and clear even in subpar conditions Zoom options improved from 1x/2x to .5x/1x/2x/3x Notch that’s like a third of the size Massive battery improvements, something like doubled Peak brightness tripled Faster face ID, LIDAR scanner, crash detection, emergency SOS improvements, dozens of other little things that would take forever to list Fundamentally it’s still a phone, and the X is still fast enough to do everyday tasks decently well. But claiming it’s “not that big of an improvement” is like claiming the PS5 is “not that big of an improvement” over the PS4, or that a new 2023 PC is “not that big of an improvement” over one from 2017, or that a new vacuum cleaner is “not that big of an improvement” over one you’ve had for years that’s lost half the suction it used to have.
@@Famousriss it could be better, but it’s enough for a day use for me. I would prefer to be at 30-40% at the end of the day but a couple times I was around 20% at end of the day
Upgrade from 14 pro to 14 pro max and as you said, i dont have battery anxiety 😂 anymore.. the size doesn't bother me, i have other phone to use if i need to rest from my ip 14 pro max but my magnetic pop socket really did a good job, make my hands more relax, you don't need your pinky holds for you when you use magnetic pop socket and i can remove it anytime if i want to charge it with magsafe
5:36 yea when I first got my 14 pro I held it with my pinky. But then I eventually realized the camera bump was so large I could rest my ring finger under it to support instead.
I really hope there will be a new video about the 15 pro and the 15 pro max. Because that is an even more difficult decision, not only is the screen time greater, but the camera is also much better and the storage space is double.
I selected the Pro Max - my first Max-size phone - because I bought it mainly for the cameras (I’ve ditched my DSLR) and I found the Max easier for taking photos. And of course the bigger screen makes it easier to review the images on the Max, although mainly I do serious reviews on an iPad or an iMac. But if the cameras weren’t my priority, I’d probably prefer the Pro - a bit handier, lighter, and of course cheaper.
@@roneeh7332 I think what I meant was that if photo-taking wasn’t the main priority I’d probably have bought the Pro. Yes, it does have the same camera module, but I found it a bit more awkward to handle than the Max. However if photos weren’t the #1 priority then the Pro’s advantages - handiness, weight, and price - would have swayed me.
Imo comfort > everything else. If your not comfortable holding and using a phone your experience won’t be great with it. One of the main reasons why I went with the regular pro
4:30 "Can't reach the top of the sreen" Yes, with one hand, nope. But you have a setting called reachability Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn on Reachability. To lower the top half of the screen, do one the following: On an iPhone with Face ID: Swipe down on the bottom edge of the screen. On an iPhone with a Home button: Lightly double-tap the Home button. Here you are.
I used to buy the biggest iPhone on offer but I like the Pro better. I’m 5’3 and when I had a Pro Max type I did a lot of shuffling with my hand trying to use the keyboard. The keyboard on an iPhone is great. And I have 1T of storage. But back to the Pro. It fits in my shirt pocket. It fits in my back pocket in my jeans or shorts. No fear of falling of any pocket. The battery is smaller but I can get a MagSafe charger that piggybacks on my phone.
I’m considering the 15 pro max from my 12 pro. I also find typing frustrating at times, use the camera _a lot_ , watch tons of video content and want more battery life. I think those things alone justify the size increase va things like one-handed usability
i’m considering the iphone 15 pro max too, perfect for my content needs. i am on my phone literally 24/7 i need the battery to watch all the videos i watch 😂
I switched from iPhone X to 14 Pro Max and I am totally loving it. There is huge difference in the battery backup (mAh) in iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
What about the size, do you ever find it too big? I have the SE 3rd gen, since it will very likely be the final home button phone, and its a tiny bit bigger than the 12/13 mini. Upgrading in size, maybe to the 13, has been a cool idea, but I’m just scared it might be harder to hold or will not fit in my pocket as securely as it should. Whenever I try holding my dad’s iphone 11, which is a bit bigger than a 12, and has a thicker case, and it doesn’t necessarily feel that comfortable to hold. I cant imagine what a pro max would be like
@@The_kayotic Sorry for the late reply! Honestly speaking I was very skeptical before my purchase (14 Pro Max) and I had the same concern but it took me 1-2 week to become comfortable with its size and I am loving it now. Also when I pick up my old iPhone X, I feel like how small it is 😁 and how did I use it for many years. Well from now onwards Pro Max size will always be my preference. If your hands 🙌🏻 are small or regular size then go for Pro only as my hands are bigger than regular. I don’t feel uncomfortable while using it but yeah sometimes it feels uncomfortable when I put in the pocket.
@@sunny27janI have small hands. But I went with pro max as my upgrade from my iPhone 8 was mainly because of battery. And I’m glad I got it! Cuz I can go up to 2 days before I need to charge it up again. So yeah! Size, well, it does feel heavy at times depending on which position you’re holding it. But I’m actually used to it by now. So yeah! Absolutely no problem. I’m happy with my choice 😁
I upgraded from my 13 Pro to the 14 Pro Max for the bigger screen and battery, but I still carry around the 13 because the 14 is so goddamn heavy and is too much sometimes. 😅
i went from 13 pro max to 14 pro because the size was becoming really inconvenient. the pro max is superior as a phone but it's really inconvenient for anyone who prefers to use their phone one handed. i often used my phone one handed before the 13 pro max and i missed it so much but i couldn't justify getting a new phone until the new line came out.
Seeing the difference from the Pro max that I have vs the size of the pro…I realized I just have big hands so it didn’t seem as big as others made it seem
On my 13 pro I still have 50-60% left when i come home from work and even on a heavy day i cant't get it below 20% before sleep. And I really appreciate that you get the pro features on a small from factor which is not offered on the android counterparts.
I myself have the 14 pro, the reason I did not choose the pro max is because of the size and weight. I have smaller hands and woman jeans do not usually have big pockets. So even though the pro max has a better battery, I love my pro. It still has a good battery and it is easier for me to hold😊
I am more on the price. I got the 14 Pro and I am doing great! I am not a heavy user so its Perfect experience for me! I guess it depends on the use and not the size!
I used to have the iPhone 11 Pro (gave it a shot for a year). Lately, I've been considering giving iPhone a 2nd chance. The 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max have been very tempting, but I think I'm going to wait and see what the 15 Pro & 15 Pro Max have to offer.
There's just something more with bigger phones and therefore more premium and high-end than its smaller siblings (bigger battery, screen, etc.). I am not an iPhone user but that was also my dilemma in a certain brand. After using the biggest variant despite the ultra size and weight, I think I'll never go back to a smaller phone.
Got a 14 Pro Max but returned it, while it was excellent, the size and weight for my everyday use just wasn't for me personally, will probably wait for the 15 Pro
Thank you! I have finally decided on going for the iPhone 14 Pro instead since I have a smaller hand. I'm currently using the 6+ so I think the screen is enough for me. If I want a larger display i'll just switch to my iPad. If I need more battery life, i'll just use my powerbank.
Couldn’t do the plus sizes on the home button phones but now there’s only one option for me… I have young kids, so this is my main device for everything…
I always regret going bigger size. It is very heavy and uncomfortable in my hands. However, factors like better battery, large screen for movies and performance. These things still outweigh one disadvantage of pro max models.
I have the Pro and the battery literally lasts 2 days before i SHOULD charge it, if i run it until completely dead it take 2 days 8 hours. If you need more battery than that, you need to get a life, and also im almost positive whoever is using their phone THAT MUCH spends their days sitting at a desk.
I actually miss the size of the X/Xs. Coming from someone who used to love big phones (Samsung Pluses/Notes). When I switched to the Xs, I appreciated the size. It was perfect and doesn't hurt your hands. Had the 12 Pro and now 14 Pro, they really hurt my hands unlike the Xs.
My perfect fix for everyone: Get pro size and buy an ipad for bigger display You need the smaller size iphone so it doesnt bother you and its more comfortable and you use ipad to use the large screen when you need to
Thank you that was very helpful. I'm going to be a first time iPhone owner in a few months and have been using Android phones for about 17 years. But I'm looking forward to trying something new. I do like a great battery life on any phone i use. I'm 54 years old

Thanks for the video! Fully agree with your comments after upgrading from the regular 13Pro to the 14Pro Max!
Pro Max Users or potential pro max users, swipe down on the bottom center of the screen on any page and the iPhone animation will drag the top half of your screen closer to your thumb for ease of operation with single hand. You dont even have to change the way you hold your device. Should work on the pro model as well if you need it.
Paid off my 13, upgrading to the 14 Pro Max tomorrow and picking it up. I can’t wait!!! So tired of the smaller screen can not wait to have the max. I do a lot of mobile gaming so the extra screen real estate will be a game changer. My only complaint is I wish it was bigger! Fingers crossed we see a 7” display in the future. Maybe it’s because I have big hands but the 14PM was not uncomfortable for me at all. I’ll let you know how it goes after I get it, for now this my last message I will ever and on TH-cam with my regular 13. This phone served me well, but it’s time to say goodbye and hello 14PM.
Remember how the iphone 6plus felt like it would just snap if it was in your pocket without a case..? I loved that phone but kept it in an otter box the 2 years I used it, for fear of it bending or screen cracking if I dropped it. My daily driver now is 13pro max, and it is heavier and more bulky, but I actually prefer some meat on the phones bones lol. It don't coddle it like the 6+, and I have it in a mag safe capable clear case. But also use it without a case too.
It’s a good debate, the iPhone 6s Plus had the perfect size screen in my opinion and made typing really easy with no mistakes. I currently run the 11 and might upgrade to the big boy if funds allow.
You can swipe down on the bottom of the screen and it brings everything from the top of the screen down so you can reach it with one hand I have the 14 promax and have had every promax since the 11 and I wouldn’t downgrade also the promax camera has more options for zoom then the pro
Battery life is important to me but not really an issue since I’m often near a charger and carry an ext battery pack with me. The issue for me is typing. My 12 mini is bad with typos. I tried the regular and Max/Plus phones in a store and could tell two-thumb typing works much better. That said, my budget much prefers a regular sized iPhone…
Stop thinking bigger is better me personally I always like smaller phone it’s getting out of hand how big these phones are now but I have a 12 mini and it’s perfect I love it wouldn’t trade it for anything
I’m still using the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Such a great phone. I’m sure the 14 Pro Max is even better. Although my phone is nearly 4 years old, it still performs quite well with my overall battery health still at 81%. I’m thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 14 and will always go for the Pro Max size. Awesome for playing games and watching Netflix!
For me the trade off with carrying the 14 Pro Max versus the standard size 14 Pro simply isn’t worth it especially since IOS is so limiting with how you can use a larger screen. My 14 Pro is carried much more than it’s actually used, most of my screen time is spent on iPads especially the iPad Mini 6.

The battery life is indeed the most understated reason for getting the 14 Pro Max. I’ve been using Pro Max for the past few iPhones. But for 14, I decided to get the 14 Pro. Loved it, until I found that the battery wasn’t enough for me especially on vacation when the screen is operating at high brightness in outdoor conditions. The phone always dies on me mid day. After 6 months, I sold the 14 Pro and switched back to 14 Pro Max.
nice, cuz u re power user, all my phones I ever had never died mid day cuz of battery, even now with garbage s22 battery xd I mostly use reddit, youtube and IG
Yea i cant stand the max’s size so I got the 14pro and i got the battery pack and im good like that I love the small size its my favorite phone so far the interactive bar is so cool and useful the phone really feels fluid, I had a pro max 12 before rhis btw
How is that even possible?! I finish the day on 30% with my 13 mini lol
Bro are you watching TH-cam videos all day long on vacation...
TOTALLY BRO… AGAIN BIGGER IS NOT JUST BETTER. ITS ALWWWAYS BETTER☮️
I switched from 12 mini to 14 Pro Max because of battery capacity. And it really impressed me, since December I never have to worry about the battery die on me, especially in the most critical moments.
It really is a habit changing upgrade in battery life.
If only it’s physically possible to have the 120hz display, cameras, and battery life of a pro in the body of a mini or iPhone X, that would be perfect 😄
@@jovrien yes, this
I have a 12 mini now and thinking of switching to the 14 Pro Max. How are you liking it so far?
i went from the 12 mini to the 14 pro and wow it's a huge difference.
I went from the regular iPhone 13 to the 14 Pro Max, and I have to say, the 14 Pro Max is an absolute beast when it comes to photp quality, and the battery life is INSANE. It’s been 8 days since I purchased the 14 Pro Max, and I’ve only had to charge it lnce a day or eve. every two days, which is AWESOME.
Same. Every 2 days
This was my dilemma before when choosing between the 13 Pro vs the 13 Pro Max. I liked the look and weight of the Pro but there is something with the Pro Max that was telling me to get it. The bigger screen and the bigger battery. After getting the Pro Max, I really enjoyed it till today and have not regret it at all. Its heavy but the battery and screen outweighs the weight of it.
I have a Iphone XR right now wich is already pretty big. I am wondering what the weight difference would be between the pro max and XR
The size wouldn’t really be a problem for me i think since i have been using the Iphone XR for like 4 years now
@@captainoblivionthicc1004as far as weight it would be more heavier than what your used to. May i suggest going in store to try out then go from there
@@captainoblivionthicc1004 that’s a big weight difference there. You will not notice it until around a whole day of using it.
@@captainoblivionthicc1004 I’m still using an 11 Pro Max and I’m thinking about downsizing to save $100 and I’m getting annoyed with how heavy it is plus it makes my shorts go down plus I want to make more room for my pocket for other things
Hi i live in ethiopia and i always wanted to have this phone please buy me this one i really need to have it iam a photographer and this will help me pursue my career
I have the smaller iPhone 13 Pro, and I absolutely 100% don’t regret it. I love the smaller size and it’s so much more comfortable to hold and type on. I always plug in my phone in my car so battery life isn’t a huge deal for me. And I can comfortably type on the smaller screen. If I want to have a bigger screen for content consumption, I’ll go to my iPad. If you want the Max, go ahead. The screen on the Max phones are beautiful, but I love the smaller Pro and don’t regret it.
You’re just like my brother. He absolutely HATES big phones. That’s why he went with the regular pro, while my dad and I went with the pro max. And yes! The pro max is definitely a lot more heavier than the pro. And carrying it around does feel a bit weird. You can just feel the weight difference. But the reason my dad and I went with the pro max was mainly because of the battery. The phone lasts up to 2 days before I need to charge it again. So that’s the pro for the max. But yeah! Since he went with the pro, he has to charge his phone like every single day. While my dad and I only need to charge ours every 2 days. So yeah! You get what you pay for

@@TheXxgecko people who don’t use their phones as much. And I’m one of them. Got a problem
Always Pro. Comfort is the number 1 priority for me as it's the way in which I interact with the device. it's like gameplay in a videogame. 14 Pro Max is a chungus and unusable one hand unless you are a goliath.
I went from the 14 pro max to the smaller pro. Gave my mom my pro max and picked up a silver 14 pro. The smaller size is much appreciated over here 👍🏾
Why
@@rigov408The pro max is far too heavy. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max should have a titanium band instead of stainless steel, so that should help.
@@Miguel-Del yup I know I’m never getting no iPhone pro max ever again
Is the speaker better than last year?
1000% agree with this. The weight of the Max is tough, but after switching from Pro Max to Pro, to Mini, then back to Pro Max, it will be a long time before I choose a smaller phone. A Pro Mini with ProMotion would be the only thing stirring me away from the battery life I get.
Is it pro though?
That whole comment is contradictory
I have the pro max and everything he said is true. When I was deciding what phone I wanted it really came down to battery life for me. The pro feels nice but I work long hours and need a phone that can keep up with me.
I’ve got the Pro. It was a decision totally based on the one-hand usability debate. There are many situations where this is applicable, it’s more about the freedom of use. No problems with the battery, I get by 1 day easily. Also, more use of the phone is not very healthy 🤷♂️.
Pairing the pro with a battery pack has improved my experience. The pack is pocketable and the extra 1300 ish mAh removes my worry of draining it out before reaching home again.
My next upgrade is going to be to a Max Model. I want a bigger battery.
I moved from an XS to 14 pro and this already feels bulkier and heavier. No chance I’m going for the max. I value portability and weight. I just prefer a smaller phone.
@@Moose185 I can understand that, but in my case, I never get the “luxurous” battery life on my iPhones that others report that they get, no matter how much I tweak my settings. So for me the bigger battery offsets the increase in bulk. I have to carry a MagSafe battery pack in my back pocket as it is now to get through the day without plugging into a wall.
@@HistoryNut-1701 what phone do you have?
@@r4dius. 12 Pro. 88% battery health remaining.
Went from iPhone X to IPhone 13 Pro Max, was a bit big but got used to it, the battery life is insane I lose about 30-40% throughout the whole day.
That’s one of the most reasons I went with the pro max is because of the battery life and I liked that macro camera feature when it first came out. I’m using the 13 pro max. If the pro has the battery life like the pro max do I would’ve went with the pro, I really like the size of the pro but the battery life of the pro max. I don’t have to worry about charging my phone through the day no matter how I use it, it last until I’m finished with it.
Same as you. My pro max lasts me up to 2 days before I need to charge it again
Deciding based on battery life is not logical. There is power everywhere. It’s like buying a bigger car because the gas tank is bigger. Now you’re stuck with a big car with gas stations all over.
I went Pro Max this time. It is heavy. I sometimes hate it because it's so big and heavy. But that screen is gorgeous. The battery life is amazing. And I can also type way better and faster on the Pro max.... so I am staying Max on the 15 .... hopefully titanium and lighter.
It’s not that heavy.
work out your hands more if you think thats heavy
Why would you buy a new phone every year… consoomer
@@uzuwi9782rich .
@@direfranchementright? I have a pro max. Not that heavy. You get used to the weight eventually
I move a lot when I work, and I can’t move around as well with an iPhone Pro Max in my pocket, especially when I squat or climbing up to perform inspections.I have no problems with battery as I have access to charging area & powerbank. Even with the normal Pro I have to becareful.
Yup, size does matter and the 14 PM is way too big for me.
Thanks for the example.
same, the regular pro already hinders me when climbing/crouching/whatever. cant imagine having to deal with the max
Have been using iphone 14 pro for few weeks now. yeah i do struggle sometimes with the keyboard (as i’m typing this text), but yeah i do like the size and the battery life is impressive so far and can take me throughout the day with about 20% left. It’s a really big upgrade for me coming from iphone 8 plus but i do miss the bigger size of the max
I had an iPhone X for a while and then upgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max to solve my main complaint with the X (horrible battery life). I still have that 11 Pro Max. I still don't have to charge it more than once overnight, and my next iPhone will be a Pro Max, should they call it that. Not only does it reduce battery anxiety, the phone itself can stay with you for longer without feeling like you need to upgrade. It is the value choice.
Being visually impaired the max version is an absolute. I had the pro version but even upon increasing size of fonts the scrolling was tedious. The max however allows me not only increase the size of the fonts but with more screen space scrolling is much more convenient as I can see more content at one time so there's no question that the max is the one for
I would agree with difficulties typing with the iPhone 14 Pro's keyboard.. Even though I've been using it for months now, I still experience typing issues. But I love my iPhone 14 Pro. Great content!
Went with 14 pro max on launch day. I think now i’m considering dropping down to a regular 6.1 inch model. That really is the sweet spot, the 6.7 inch is tough to navigate with one hand.
It’s basically just battery life and big screen for content vs portability and comfortability (weight and one handed use). Whatever you value more will be your decision. If the battery life was the same I’d get the Pro, I don’t care about content on phones that much, but it’s not so I got the max. Ending a full day of work, gym, hanging out with friends, watching TH-cam and Netflix on my commute and having 20% left from 8am to 10pm. The bigger screen is better for content but #1 plus is the battery life. I hate carrying chargers and battery banks
Your comment of "since the iPhone 11 Pro, the only difference between the Pro and Pro max are screen size and battery" is incorrect. There was a difference in camera for the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
Yep, aperture. My bad.
I just bought the pro max. I have pretty big hands, I love bigger screens, I love heaviness because to me it feels more premium and I’m a battery hog so it was a no brainer for me.
Man, it just cracked me up when you said, "Me running like an idiot." 🤣🤣🤣
I was thoroughly shocked at the usefulness of the “dynamic island” thingy. My initial reaction was “meh, whatever” but over time, the number of things that pop up there and help you out are great. It displays important GPS info (I drive a TON for my job so I noticed that immediately), it has distinct animations for various Bluetooth devices, it takes you right back to the app it’s currently “servicing” when you tap on it, it spreads way out for momentary, important stuff like face id and all that. It’s a really interesting concept. The next thing I’d like to see is some level of customization for it.
0:53 - Nitpick but 12 Pro and Pro Max had different camera systems
I’ve always gone for the bigger sized model regardless of brand. But now days that all models has the same specs, you shouldn’t have to go bigger to get the better option. Only reason would be screen real-estate, and battery. The Pro Max is too big and heavy. And I miss the days when phones where made out of plastic. amore durable and lighter. And where you har removable batteries.
Recently, I went from the iPhone X to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and I love it! I don’t know why it took me so long to move to the Max size, but I’m never going back.
5:20 i've actually put my 14 pro max on a perfectly calibrated proffessional weight scale and it measured it 260 without a case, and when i put my case on, it showed 290 grams, which is wild.
I’ve had iPhone Plus and iPhone Max since both were first introduced. But recently my job gave me the iPhone 13 Pro and not gone to lie I’m enjoying the smaller size the way it fits in the hand. Makes me wonder should I get the smaller size for my next upgrade 🤔
Yeah smaller size 👌🏾
I upgraded from the regular iPhone 13 to the 14 Pro max because i missed having the larger size phone. I was trying to get the 13 Pro max but was not available so i got the 14 Pro Max. You are definately right about the weight difference. I noticed the weight difference instantly but have gotten used to it. I've always been about the larger phones ever since i had the Galaxy Note 3.
I've been looking for the 13 Pro Max. It's not available near me either unless it's refurbished... I will more likely choose the Pro Max since I have larger hands. I had a Note as well! I love that series!!
I changed my mind! When I first checked out, purchasing the iPhone Pro, I thought I was happy, but then I compared it to my other non Apple phone that was larger. I realized then that I couldn't live comfortably on a smaller phone as the visual benefits if the larger phone far outweigh the size concerns. So, I canceled the sale and repurchased the iPhone Pro Max.
After using my iPhone 14 Pro Max now, I have no regrets, but instead am so happy!
Texting... I swipe more than text.
Visuals... best for movies, web viewing, spreadsheets.
Jerry is right... go up... not down!
I purchased my first max iPhone. I’m enjoying the battery life on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I also like the larger screen for watching movies.
Or anime. But yeah! The huge screen size and battery is a big difference. You can just tell right away
i know im a bit late to the iphone 14 gang but i went from a standard iphone 12 to 14 pro max and it didnt feel that much bigger to me (thinking about it i probaly just have big hands and thats why the 14 pro max feels more natural i can use it one handed easily
I had the 13 pro max but ended up selling it and going to the 13 pro. The battery is go enough to make it through the day. I brought the anker MagSafe battery for rare occasions I need more battery and can plug into the wall to charge. The pro max phones are to wide in my opinion. I have big hands and its still a lot of phone to hold. The max feels like holding a brick and I felt like long phone calls can be fatiguing. I don’t regret the smaller phone.
I went from the 13 promax to the 14 Pro the first week it was hard to get used to the smaller screen but after that week the 14 pro is the way to go. I feel like the software was made to be compatible with the pro. Everything is so hard to reach on the max not only that but the weight is another factor made my hand hurt all the time. Plus the battery on the 14 Pro isn’t all that bad. Definitely not as good as a 13 pro max but I’m always near a charger, so battery life isn’t an issue.
I still remember regretting getting the smaller phone but I always had to remind myself why I got the smaller phone in the first place. Comfort and usability if your always on the go.
I will never get a pro max again. It hurt my hand and wrist. I don’t have small hands. Never again.
Still loving my 13 mini I got on launch day. I use my iPad for media consumption, so have never had an issue with battery. I’m usually around 1-1.5hr screen on time. I like that I use my phone less, but know that I can do anything I want with it once I do use it.
I’ve always bought either the Plus or Max sized phones. With the 14 I switched to the 14 Pro. I just love the smaller sized phone. I do a lot of hiking and I like to take photo’s, for me it is so much easier to carry the Pro. It’s lighter and just handier. I don’t miss anything about the Max. If Im going to be away from a Charger for an extended period of time I just carry a mag safe battery pack in my pocket or sling bag. While I wonder about the rumored telephoto lens on the upcoming iphone 15 Pro Max , or Ultra , I just don’t see myself going back to the larger, heavier Max sized phone.
I got a Pro Max since yesterday (my first one, always had the normal Pro before)… and I’m asking myself why I didn’t go to it earlier. The battery life seems to be (for first impression) sooo much better. And it was for me the main reason to switch. I always had to charge my phone before during the day and I was just annoyed by it. Yes the Max is pretty heavy but not that much more then the Pro. And the normal Pro was a two hands phone for me also… sooo I have no regrets going for a Max.
I had the 13 Pro Max. I loved it but it was so God dam heavy after a while. Everyday use because cumbersome. Upgraded to 14 pro and I'm loving the size
It’s funny because after owning both across various generations, I find that although the Max has the bigger battery it only lasts slightly longer for my usage.
For example if I charge my phone around 6 pm I’m charging the max around 6:20/30 which negates the point of getting a larger phone for me.
I got big hands and long fingers but for some reason the pro max phones are just uncomfortable to hold especially when compared to competitor phones like say the S23 ultra.
So will probably be sticking with the pro models until the next full redesign.
coming from an iphone 7 then switching to 14 pro max, i hadn’t experienced battery anxiety ever since… its crazy actually, i used to frequently check my battery and then charge multiple times in a day with my iphone 7… i dont have the same situation now with my new iphone
Same. The battery 🔋 life on this thing is a beast. I can go up to 2 days before I need to charge it up again
Sure size matters that's why I went with 14 Pro (not Max) it has the perfect size for my use, overnight charging is a must for both anyway.
Thankfully the weight issue is probably solved with titanium in the 15 Pro Max.
The people that complain about their hands hurting after holding it for so long really trip me out. Put the POS down for awhile.
I have switched to iphone 14 pro max and I haven’t regretted it the bigger screen and battery is a huge upgrade and yes size does matter
I’m subscribing just because you talked about Pocketability of the iPhone. So many tech TH-camrs don’t talk about the phone sizes being a hinderance in the pocket, but you did, so I’m subbing this channel! 👍
Thanks! I hope my videos will be valuable to you.
Pro Max fits fine in the pocket. If it isn’t fitting in your pockets, your pants are probably too tight.
Women usually have small pockets so the normal size is better than the pro max in my daily life. Also I like to carry smaller purses and the pro max doesn’t fit in them at all. Honestly the best phone I can imagine is a size between the 6.1 inch models and the 5.4 mini models WITH a better battery 👍🏻
@@Cynthia.Roselina Get some 18th century style women’s pockets and they’ll fit just fine.
I’ve been a Pro Max user since the Xs Max. I prefer a larger screen and battery. Somehow I’ve got disappointed with the 14 Pro Max’s battery performance but with some improvements due to iOS updates. I’ve notice a slight improvement on iOS 16.4.1.
Aren't also the 13pro /pro max models of last year even better than the 14 series. I heard many complaints about that. This was also part of the reason i do not use a 13 pro max, but at the end it's all based of personal preferences.
After using the iPhone 13 Pro Max I deceided to get the 14 Pro (not max). I love the size and the battery still get's me through the day, sadly not 2 days like the 13 Pro Max did but I still enjoy it.
I have the 13 pro max and i have never worried about battery life. Even on the longest i can have 10-20% battery left. Makes the max option worth it in my opinion
I will buy the 14 Pro Max, switching from my 13 Pro Max.
6-7 Months after release is the best time to buy the newest Phone imo
My Iphone 13 used to give 2 days of battery life with medium usuage but now after 1 year its barely get to a day
I just switched from an iPhone X to an iPhone 14 Pro (Substantial upgrade, I know). After a few days I loved the bigger and more vibrant screen but my only complaint was it feels really bulky to hold compared to the X, which i got very accustomed to. I’m getting used to the slightly larger iPhone 14 Pro after a week. I was on the fence between the Pro and Pro Max, but after a week, I can indisputably say that I made the right choice. I can’t imagine walking around and holding a phone any bigger than the iPhone 14 Pro.
It’s funny seeing different people’s takes on this. I used an iPad Mini 2 in place of a phone in high school. Now my iPhone XR, which has the same screen size as the 14 but a body size halfway between the pro/pro max due to bezels, feels small to me. Oh, I got used to it and can certainly appreciate how much better it is one-handed and how much more easily it can fit into my pockets - but, truth be told, if iPad Mini 6 could be used as a phone without having another phone and two cellular plans, I would upgrade from my XR to the current Mini, because I miss having a “phone” that big.
Instead, I’m planning on buying a 15 Pro Max this year. It’s supposed to have record-breaking thin bezels and so a 6.7 inch display won’t be much bigger than the body of my 6.1-inch XR, but the extra screen real estate from being 10% wider and taller, and having a much smaller notch, should be more like what I miss.
Too be honest it's a minor upgrade lol
@@swagger6166 ???
General speed and performance up from “still decently usable but by no means fast” to top of the line
Cameras from “you can almost always tell what’s in them” to crisp and clear even in subpar conditions
Zoom options improved from 1x/2x to .5x/1x/2x/3x
Notch that’s like a third of the size
Massive battery improvements, something like doubled
Peak brightness tripled
Faster face ID, LIDAR scanner, crash detection, emergency SOS improvements, dozens of other little things that would take forever to list
Fundamentally it’s still a phone, and the X is still fast enough to do everyday tasks decently well. But claiming it’s “not that big of an improvement” is like claiming the PS5 is “not that big of an improvement” over the PS4, or that a new 2023 PC is “not that big of an improvement” over one from 2017, or that a new vacuum cleaner is “not that big of an improvement” over one you’ve had for years that’s lost half the suction it used to have.
how’s the battery life of i phone 14 pro? 3200 mah is enough for a day?
@@Famousriss it could be better, but it’s enough for a day use for me. I would prefer to be at 30-40% at the end of the day but a couple times I was around 20% at end of the day
Upgrade from 14 pro to 14 pro max and as you said, i dont have battery anxiety 😂 anymore.. the size doesn't bother me, i have other phone to use if i need to rest from my ip 14 pro max but my magnetic pop socket really did a good job, make my hands more relax, you don't need your pinky holds for you when you use magnetic pop socket and i can remove it anytime if i want to charge it with magsafe
5:36 yea when I first got my 14 pro I held it with my pinky. But then I eventually realized the camera bump was so large I could rest my ring finger under it to support instead.
I really hope there will be a new video about the 15 pro and the 15 pro max. Because that is an even more difficult decision, not only is the screen time greater, but the camera is also much better and the storage space is double.
I selected the Pro Max - my first Max-size phone - because I bought it mainly for the cameras (I’ve ditched my DSLR) and I found the Max easier for taking photos. And of course the bigger screen makes it easier to review the images on the Max, although mainly I do serious reviews on an iPad or an iMac. But if the cameras weren’t my priority, I’d probably prefer the Pro - a bit handier, lighter, and of course cheaper.
What I really want is an iPhone mini with a larger display and battery that lasts all day. I don't think I will get it, lol.
@@JerrySchulze I think 5.8” hits that sweet spot rather than that 5.4”
@@famyemil you may be right!
wait doesnt the pro and pro max have the same camera module?
@@roneeh7332 I think what I meant was that if photo-taking wasn’t the main priority I’d probably have bought the Pro. Yes, it does have the same camera module, but I found it a bit more awkward to handle than the Max. However if photos weren’t the #1 priority then the Pro’s advantages - handiness, weight, and price - would have swayed me.
Imo comfort > everything else. If your not comfortable holding and using a phone your experience won’t be great with it. One of the main reasons why I went with the regular pro
4:30
"Can't reach the top of the sreen" Yes, with one hand, nope. But you have a setting called reachability
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, then turn on Reachability. To lower the top half of the screen, do one the following: On an iPhone with Face ID: Swipe down on the bottom edge of the screen. On an iPhone with a Home button: Lightly double-tap the Home button.
Here you are.

I used to buy the biggest iPhone on offer but I like the Pro better. I’m 5’3 and when I had a Pro Max type I did a lot of shuffling with my hand trying to use the keyboard. The keyboard on an iPhone is great. And I have 1T of storage.
But back to the Pro. It fits in my shirt pocket. It fits in my back pocket in my jeans or shorts.
No fear of falling of any pocket.
The battery is smaller but I can get a MagSafe charger that piggybacks on my phone.
I’m considering the 15 pro max from my 12 pro. I also find typing frustrating at times, use the camera _a lot_ , watch tons of video content and want more battery life. I think those things alone justify the size increase va things like one-handed usability
i’m considering the iphone 15 pro max too, perfect for my content needs. i am on my phone literally 24/7 i need the battery to watch all the videos i watch 😂
I switched from iPhone X to 14 Pro Max and I am totally loving it. There is huge difference in the battery backup (mAh) in iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
What about the size, do you ever find it too big? I have the SE 3rd gen, since it will very likely be the final home button phone, and its a tiny bit bigger than the 12/13 mini. Upgrading in size, maybe to the 13, has been a cool idea, but I’m just scared it might be harder to hold or will not fit in my pocket as securely as it should. Whenever I try holding my dad’s iphone 11, which is a bit bigger than a 12, and has a thicker case, and it doesn’t necessarily feel that comfortable to hold. I cant imagine what a pro max would be like
@@The_kayotic Sorry for the late reply!
Honestly speaking I was very skeptical before my purchase (14 Pro Max) and I had the same concern but it took me 1-2 week to become comfortable with its size and I am loving it now. Also when I pick up my old iPhone X, I feel like how small it is 😁 and how did I use it for many years.
Well from now onwards Pro Max size will always be my preference. If your hands 🙌🏻 are small or regular size then go for Pro only as my hands are bigger than regular. I don’t feel uncomfortable while using it but yeah sometimes it feels uncomfortable when I put in the pocket.

So yeah! Absolutely no problem. I’m happy with my choice 😁
I upgraded from my 13 Pro to the 14 Pro Max for the bigger screen and battery, but I still carry around the 13 because the 14 is so goddamn heavy and is too much sometimes. 😅
i went from 13 pro max to 14 pro because the size was becoming really inconvenient. the pro max is superior as a phone but it's really inconvenient for anyone who prefers to use their phone one handed. i often used my phone one handed before the 13 pro max and i missed it so much but i couldn't justify getting a new phone until the new line came out.
Seeing the difference from the Pro max that I have vs the size of the pro…I realized I just have big hands so it didn’t seem as big as others made it seem
On my 13 pro I still have 50-60% left when i come home from work and even on a heavy day i cant't get it below 20% before sleep. And I really appreciate that you get the pro features on a small from factor which is not offered on the android counterparts.
Smaller phones are easy to use in any situations and faster to move around
I myself have the 14 pro, the reason I did not choose the pro max is because of the size and weight. I have smaller hands and woman jeans do not usually have big pockets. So even though the pro max has a better battery, I love my pro. It still has a good battery and it is easier for me to hold😊
how’s the battery life of ip14pro?
i like this review, he includes typing experience which often overlooked in other reviews
I am more on the price. I got the 14 Pro and I am doing great! I am not a heavy user so its Perfect experience for me! I guess it depends on the use and not the size!
I used to have the iPhone 11 Pro (gave it a shot for a year). Lately, I've been considering giving iPhone a 2nd chance. The 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max have been very tempting, but I think I'm going to wait and see what the 15 Pro & 15 Pro Max have to offer.
Your time has come.
There's just something more with bigger phones and therefore more premium and high-end than its smaller siblings (bigger battery, screen, etc.). I am not an iPhone user but that was also my dilemma in a certain brand. After using the biggest variant despite the ultra size and weight, I think I'll never go back to a smaller phone.
I upgraded to a iphone 14 pro from a OnePlus nord n100 (cheap ass phone) and so far im loving every feature on the pro, the screen is sooo smoothhhhhh
am abt to get i phone 14 pro i’m worry about battery life of 14 pro can’t you tell me sir about 14 pro battery life 3200mah
Got a 14 Pro Max but returned it, while it was excellent, the size and weight for my everyday use just wasn't for me personally, will probably wait for the 15 Pro
How much loss did you bear when you returned it?
@@anuragraikwar9638 none, I've still got a 13 Pro lol
Looking forward to the titanium band on the 15 Pro / Pro Max. I'm hoping it'll be light enough to old and use.
Thank you! I have finally decided on going for the iPhone 14 Pro instead since I have a smaller hand. I'm currently using the 6+ so I think the screen is enough for me. If I want a larger display i'll just switch to my iPad. If I need more battery life, i'll just use my powerbank.
Good compromise.
Pro max all the way for me! Cannot go back on a smaller screen… ever!
Couldn’t do the plus sizes on the home button phones but now there’s only one option for me… I have young kids, so this is my main device for everything…
I always regret going bigger size. It is very heavy and uncomfortable in my hands. However, factors like better battery, large screen for movies and performance. These things still outweigh one disadvantage of pro max models.
personally, i think the weight is a good thing to assure and remind me me that this thousand dollar brick is with me.
I have the Pro and the battery literally lasts 2 days before i SHOULD charge it, if i run it until completely dead it take 2 days 8 hours. If you need more battery than that, you need to get a life, and also im almost positive whoever is using their phone THAT MUCH spends their days sitting at a desk.
I actually miss the size of the X/Xs.
Coming from someone who used to love big phones (Samsung Pluses/Notes). When I switched to the Xs, I appreciated the size. It was perfect and doesn't hurt your hands. Had the 12 Pro and now 14 Pro, they really hurt my hands unlike the Xs.
My perfect fix for everyone:
Get pro size and buy an ipad for bigger display
You need the smaller size iphone so it doesnt bother you and its more comfortable and you use ipad to use the large screen when you need to
Thank you that was very helpful. I'm going to be a first time iPhone owner in a few months and have been using Android phones for about 17 years. But I'm looking forward to trying something new. I do like a great battery life on any phone i use. I'm 54 years old
Thanks for the video! Fully agree with your comments after upgrading from the regular 13Pro to the 14Pro Max!
I switched from a XR to iPhone 14 pro max and am loving the display upgrade!
I use the 14 pro over the max. The max is extremely cumbersome with how big it is. My 14 pro lasts all day with the aod on anyways.
Pro Max Users or potential pro max users, swipe down on the bottom center of the screen on any page and the iPhone animation will drag the top half of your screen closer to your thumb for ease of operation with single hand. You dont even have to change the way you hold your device. Should work on the pro model as well if you need it.
Paid off my 13, upgrading to the 14 Pro Max tomorrow and picking it up. I can’t wait!!! So tired of the smaller screen can not wait to have the max. I do a lot of mobile gaming so the extra screen real estate will be a game changer. My only complaint is I wish it was bigger! Fingers crossed we see a 7” display in the future. Maybe it’s because I have big hands but the 14PM was not uncomfortable for me at all. I’ll let you know how it goes after I get it, for now this my last message I will ever and on TH-cam with my regular 13. This phone served me well, but it’s time to say goodbye and hello 14PM.
Why don’t you just get an iPad mini for mobile gaming, the screen is like 8 inches 😂
Remember how the iphone 6plus felt like it would just snap if it was in your pocket without a case..? I loved that phone but kept it in an otter box the 2 years I used it, for fear of it bending or screen cracking if I dropped it. My daily driver now is 13pro max, and it is heavier and more bulky, but I actually prefer some meat on the phones bones lol. It don't coddle it like the 6+, and I have it in a mag safe capable clear case. But also use it without a case too.
Oh yes, I remember!
It’s a good debate, the iPhone 6s Plus had the perfect size screen in my opinion and made typing really easy with no mistakes. I currently run the 11 and might upgrade to the big boy if funds allow.
what a great video..my pinky hurts today because of the 13 pro max being used without case. How odd.
I find the modern iPhone Pros to be uncomfortably voluminous, heavy and unergonomic with their boxy edges
You can swipe down on the bottom of the screen and it brings everything from the top of the screen down so you can reach it with one hand I have the 14 promax and have had every promax since the 11 and I wouldn’t downgrade also the promax camera has more options for zoom then the pro
Battery life is important to me but not really an issue since I’m often near a charger and carry an ext battery pack with me.
The issue for me is typing. My 12 mini is bad with typos. I tried the regular and Max/Plus phones in a store and could tell two-thumb typing works much better.
That said, my budget much prefers a regular sized iPhone…
Stop thinking bigger is better me personally I always like smaller phone it’s getting out of hand how big these phones are now but I have a 12 mini and it’s perfect I love it wouldn’t trade it for anything
I took the pro max for a test drive. It was as heavy as a early 90’s brick phone. Switched to the pro and it’s just right!!!
I’m still using the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Such a great phone. I’m sure the 14 Pro Max is even better. Although my phone is nearly 4 years old, it still performs quite well with my overall battery health still at 81%. I’m thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 14 and will always go for the Pro Max size. Awesome for playing games and watching Netflix!
For me the trade off with carrying the 14 Pro Max versus the standard size 14 Pro simply isn’t worth it especially since IOS is so limiting with how you can use a larger screen. My 14 Pro is carried much more than it’s actually used, most of my screen time is spent on iPads especially the iPad Mini 6.
