I have the 14. Sibling has the 14 plus. The plus is bigger alright but too big for me. I suppose it will boil down to your personal preference on screen size.

Would go the pro

Wouldn’t touch the standard iPhone 14

It’s just a re branded iPhone 13 Pro with a worse screen and camera

If your thinking off getting a normal 14 I would save a bit off money and get a second hand refurbished 13 pro

As it has the same cpu and better screen and camra

Second this comment about screen size and weight. I used to get the Pro Max ones because I used it for photo and video taking. The screen is bigger, obviously but the camera and video function is a little better in the Pro Max.

Now, I don’t do much of that anymore and I don’t use the phone for much beyond emails and text messaging. For that, the smaller size fits better in my hand and pocket.

As Natalie has said, it’s better to go for the Pro version rather than the ‘normal’ one.

Just to clarify; there is iPhone 14 and there is iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are the same size but their performance is worlds apart. iPhone 14 Pro Max is the big screen version of iPhone 14 Pro.

Don't choose any. Move to Android.

"I got 14 pro max

Most mobiles have reached peak functionality these days and theres bugger all new features to add, so the only differences seem to be in photo/video capabilities and battery life.

People are also unlikely to jump ship from apple to android without a seriously good reason given most don't even give new chargers with new phones and any add on kit will usually be brand specific.

I'm an android user and went for an S22 Ultra for the camera and video functions. Did look at the 14 Pro max and was tempted but didn't want to move back to Apple after ditching them long ago.

The only downside to this phone is that it's too heavy for the gimbal I bought to use with my old S10+.

I have the 12 Pro-Max and don’t intend to upgrade to the 14 Pro-Max.

The X is still a capable model, but you’ll be spending money for not massive jumps in capability. It’s why I’m waiting to see what the 15 is, and whether it’s worth it or stick with my 12 Pro-Max.

I've not used an Apple device since the iPhone 4.

I wouldn't go back to them either.

Don't like the way they do business or how they see their customers.

Plus, they don't see their devices as really our property.

As for Apple 'geniuses'...PAH!!!

By convincing him to opt for Android. The only sensible choice.

I have a 12 pro max and was thinking of updating to a 14 this year… other than the size (pro is 5.7 max is 6.9) the max this year has a slightly better camera on it!

I love the bigger iPhone…yes it better life because the battery is bigger but it just a case of getting use to it

I actually to be honest may give this year a miss just because if the 15 does come in September there are rumours of it being completely wireless

I have a 4 year old iphone for personal and a new (mid range) android for work- fucking hate the android with a passion. Nothing sensible about choosing either one, just pick the one that functions better for you

It seems rather weird to me, but why buy an expensive PHONE,and then use it to take pictures?...Buy a cheaper phone for calls and texts (quality on both are the same) and a small handbag sized digital camera for when you need it....which to be truthfully...ain't that often
