Compare the iPhone 14 Pro (Max) to the iPhone 13 Pro (Max)

On these devices, the notch is replaced by a pill-shaped cutout. Apple calls this the Dynamic Island. This way, you'll have a bit more screen space on the 6.1-inch screen of the iPhone 14 Pro and the 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone Pro Max. On the Dynamic Island, you can see app notifications, for example. The useful Always On screen always shows widgets and notifications, even if the device is locked. This way, you won't miss a thing.

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro (Max) has the same casing as the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). Glossy sides and a matte glass back. These models only have a notch at the top of the screen. That's more in view than the Dynamic Island. It also has a lower number of pixels, so the bezels are a bit thicker compared to the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). These devices don't have an Always On screen.

Only the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have the A16 chip. Thanks to this chip, you can quickly edit all your photos and videos. Demanding 3D games also run smoothly. The battery life of both versions is 1 hour longer compared to the iPhone 13 Pro (Max). The devices can easily make it to the end of the day without charging the battery halfway.

The A15 Bionic chip is from 2021, but it's still fast. The most demanding apps also run smoothly on the iPhone 13 Pro (Max). In the future, it won't be as fast as with the A16 chip of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). In addition, the processor is less energy-efficient, but the battery life is still good. Without charging halfway, the devices will surely make it to the evening.

The iPhone 14 Pro (Max) is the first iPhone model with a 48-megapixel main camera. That way, you'll see more details on your photos and videos compared to the iPhone 13 Pro (Max). In addition, the wide-angle lens has a larger aperture. This makes your photos and videos mainly sharper in the dark. With the special Action Mode, your movies are stable when you run or drive over a bumpy road, for example.

You can also take nice photos and record nice videos with the cameras of the iPhone 13 Pro (Max). These are less detailed than with the iPhone 14 Pro (Max). That's because the aperture of the main camera and the wide-angle lens is smaller. These devices don't have Action Mode. That way, your videos are less stable when you move a lot. These device do have a telephoto lens, just like the iPhone 14 Pro (Max).

Thanks to the A16 Bionic chip, the device is energy-efficient and the devices have a long battery life. The maximum battery life applies when you play videos offline, not when you stream. With average use, that's a whole day. With the Max version, that's 1 to 1.5 days. The device supports MagSafe. You can attach useful accessories to the back of the device, like a card wallet or wireless charger.

The battery of both the iPhone 13 Pro and the 13 Pro Max last a long time. The difference to the successors is 1 hour for both devices. These devices last the whole day with average use. This will decrease faster compared to the iPhone 14 Pro (Max), because future updates of apps will require more from the processor. Thanks to MagSafe, you can charge devices wirelessly and attach useful accessories to the back magnetically.
