None of them. I can get a 13 Pro for the same price as the 14 so will get the better device. I haven’t had a Pro device yet so it seems silly to pass, especially when this years iPhones have all gone up considerably in price.
 
Definitely the Pro Max. I had planned on trading in my 13PM, but I may keep that to use as a second camera/backup.
 
This year's Deep Purple is not as impressive as last year's Sierra Blue, I personally prefer bright colors, will weigh between 14 Pro Max Silver and Gold.

I know I’m probably in the minority but I’m actually kind of interested in the iPhone 14 Plus.

I’ve always liked the design of the regular iPhones vs the pro models (lighter, better colors, aluminum vs stainless steel). But I need a big screen and good battery.

The 14 plus looks basically like my iPhone 13 pro max but in a better package minus promotion and telephoto.

I’ll most likely just keep my iPhone 13 pro max but I’m kind of surprised THIS is the phone giving me that twinge of jelly. iPhone 14 pro max on the other hand is fine but I’m really not ready to be the guinea pig for their dynamic island experiment.
 
I’m going for the iPhone 14 pro deep purple. Still not sure about the color though…
 
This is probably THE best iPhone update iteration ever.

Compared to the 6/6s/7 …

Greatly improved software features and functionality: HDR, ProRes RAW pictures and video, latest Wi-Fi & Bluetooth spec. Significantly larger camera sensor, lens and quality in pictures (waiting for really epic pics thread), incredible front camera and shrunken FaceID tech.


I am a 65 year old woman with arthritic hands but the Pro Max weight does not bother me at all. I like the battery life and the larger screen. I'm also a teacher so I get text messages a lot from parents and the larger screen is an advantage. I do feel the weight of it in my purse but that reminds me that I haven't inadvertently left my phone somewhere. Everyone has a style of iPhone they prefer for various reasons.

I’m waiting for Apple to bring their flavour of multi-tasking apps, not everything a-la-AndroidOS, yuck, yet iMessage and sms alongside reading ms offic document (say grades or student grading notes published/footnotes) would be nice.

That to me brings the worth of the Max models’ screen size. Right now other than a much bigger battery of the regular Pro, why is it just text bigger feels icons are more spaced out the likes of which MS Surface tablets needs but not iOS.


Yes, the screen is worth it. I do *a lot* of reading and writing on my phone, as well as the standard content consumption, so it makes a huge difference. And it really isn't that heavy!

I’m hoping we all evolve or revert back to content and data creation vs consumption. I personally think a large screen for iOS is wasted space and power consumption but I do respect others view/need for a smartphone that replaces a laptop and other needs so intuitively.

Just looking this pool, completely not as definitive yet if judging all the disain for the iPhone 12/13 mini I don’t see much interest on these boards for the iPhone plus.

It’s possible the larger screen on a regular iPhone leaves a LOT left undesirable for a few or many, possibly.

I’d LOVE to see comoaritive sales numbers of the 12 mini vs the 13 mini over the same launch periods and 3-6mth periods vs the iPhone 14 Plus.
