As the first standard version of Apple in recent years, the iPhone 14Plus has attracted much attention. Since this new phone is officially defined by Apple as the strongest battery life model of the year, many consumers are attracted by it. However, because the body sizes of the iPhone 14Plus and iPhone 13ProMax are similar and the processors are the same, many consumers subconsciously put these two models in the scope of consideration, but they always find it difficult to make a choice. As time goes by, iPhone 14Plus will be officially launched soon. Many users who like large-screen iPhone have to face this problem: What is the difference between iPhone 14Plus and 13ProMax? How to choose?
iPhone 14Plus and 13ProMax
As we all know, iPhone 14Plus uses the A15 Bionic chip, which is consistent with the A15 chip equipped with the iPhone 13ProMax, and both phones use 6GB of memory, which means that the performance of the two phones is at the same level.
From the body shape, although the two phones are similar in size, the back designs are obviously different. Through detailed comparison, we can find that there are the following differences between iPhone 14Plus and 13ProMax:
1, body specifications
- iPhone 14Plus: length, width and thickness are 160.8x78.1x7.80mm, weight 203 grams; aluminum alloy middle frame, glass back cover, dual camera structure.
- iPhone 13ProMax: length, width and thickness are 160.8x78.1x7.65mm, weight 238 grams; stainless steel middle frame, matte glass back cover, triple camera structure.
It can be seen that the iPhone 13ProMax adopts better body material and better image structure; the iPhone 14Plus has a lighter body weight.
2, screen configuration
- iPhone 14Plus: uses a 6.7-inch OLED notch screen, 2778x1284 resolution, supports 60Hz refresh rate, supports 800nit maximum brightness, and supports 458PPI.
- iPhone 13ProMax: uses a 6.7-inch OLED notch screen, 2778x1284 resolution, supports 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, supports 1000nit maximum brightness, and supports 458PPI.
It can be seen that the screens of the two phones have the same parameters, but the iPhone 13ProMax has a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and supports higher typical brightness, which is obviously better in the screen experience.
3, image configuration
- iPhone 14Plus: Front 1200W original depth lens, F1.9, supports 4K movie mode recording, supports optical image engine; rear 1200W main camera F1.5+1200W ultra-wide-angle F2.4, supports 2x optical/5x digital zoom, supports optical image engine; supports 4K movie mode recording, supports sports mode recording.
- iPhone 13ProMax: Front 1200W original depth lens, F2.2, supports 1080P movie mode recording, supports ProRes video shooting; rear 1200W main camera F1.5+1200W ultra-wide-angle F1.8+1200W telephoto F2.8, supports 3x optical/15x digital zoom, supports macro photography, supports ProRAW; supports 1080P movie mode recording, supports macro video shooting, supports ProRes video.
It can be seen that the iPhone 14Plus upgraded to support 4K recording in movie mode, but the overall configuration and functions are not as good as the iPhone 13ProMax, especially macro shooting and telephoto lens . This is very important for users who pay special attention to the shooting experience.
4, battery life and charging configuration
- iPhone 14Plus: Built-in 4325mAh battery, official experiments support video playback for up to 26 hours, official display supports 20W fast charging, and charge to 50% of the battery at most 35 minutes.
- iPhone 13ProMax: Built-in 4352mAh battery, official experiments support video playback for up to 28 hours, official display supports 20W fast charging, and charge to 50% of the battery as fast as 35 minutes.
It can be seen that the battery capacity of the two phones is very close, and the fast charging and charging times they support are basically the same. However, according to the official experimental data, the battery life of the iPhone 13ProMax is better, and this gap should be related to the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate.How to choose
iPhone 14Plus and 13ProMax?
Currently, the prices of these two phones are as follows:
- iPhone 14Plus: 6999 yuan, 7899 yuan, 9699 yuan.
- iPhone 13ProMax: 8399 yuan, 9199 yuan, 10799 yuan.
Through comparison, we can see that the performance and battery life of the two phones are similar. The iPhone 13ProMax has obvious advantages in screen, image, and body material, while the iPhone 14Plus has a lighter body and a lower price. From the perspective of choice, if the requirements for screen and images are not high and the price factor is focused on, the iPhone 14Plus will obviously be more suitable.
If you must consider large-screen models and have relatively high requirements for screen and image, then between iPhone 14Plus and iPhone 13ProMax, it is obviously the latter is more suitable.
