Large screen, good price and using the same powerful A15 Bionic chip are the things that iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 13 Pro Max have in common. But with a price difference of 3 million (iPhone 13 Pro Max is more than 16 million, while you only have to spend more than 13 million to buy iPhone 14 Plus), which iPhone is worth buying more? Let's find out in this article by Hoang Hai Mobile!

Design and grip

Obviously, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is better in terms of design with a matte glass back and steel frame. The device is much more luxurious than the glossy glass back and aluminum frame of the iPhone 14 Plus. The steel frame also gives the iPhone 13 Pro Max better rigidity and of course more colorfastness than the aluminum frame on the iPhone 14 Plus . This does not mean that the iPhone 14 Plus is prone to peeling paint, Apple has fixed it for a long time, but clearly, against the effects of the environment and time, the iPhone 13 Pro Max has higher physical durability. Not to mention, the iPhone 13 Pro Max also has a prominent triple camera cluster, along with more impressive colors such as Sierra Blue or Alpine Green.

In return, the iPhone 14 Plus is significantly lighter than the iPhone 13 Pro Max , and only 21 grams lighter than the iPhone 14. This gives the iPhone 14 Plus a comfortable, light grip despite having the same large 6.7-inch screen size as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Those who like large screens and light devices will definitely like the iPhone 14 Plus.

Camera is a point to consider

The iPhone 14 Plus only has 2 cameras, but in return, the device also has an Action Mode feature that provides excellent anti-shake when recording videos. But that's not enough to surpass the 3-camera cluster of the iPhone 13 Pro Max . With the 3-camera cluster, in addition to an additional 3x telephoto camera, the device also has the ability to record ProRAW videos for professional use. Although ordinary users don't need to care too much, it's clear that the parameters and camera quality on the iPhone 13 Pro Max are still better than the iPhone 14 Plus.

However, with a cheaper price, the quality of filming and photography on the iPhone 14 Plus is still very good. It's just that it will be a bit worse than the iPhone 13 Pro Max and this is a lower-end model.

The screen is balanced in quality, but the iPhone 14 Plus loses in smoothness

Both screens are equipped with a 6.7-inch notch screen by Apple using an OLED panel with Super Retina XDR technology for sharp, vivid and realistic display.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max also has a 'better' display technology with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz compared to only 60 Hz on the iPhone 14 Plus. This is clearly shown when surfing the web, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is noticeably smoother and the letters are not trailing like when scrolling the page on the iPhone 14 Plus.

Battery balance

The iPhone 14 Plus has a battery capacity of 4,325 mAh and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is 4,352 mAh. So despite the high refresh rate, the iPhone 13 Pro Max still has the same battery life as the iPhone 14 Plus thanks to good software optimization and a larger battery. In fact, using both devices can last all day with nearly 10 hours of multi-tasking onscreen. Clearly, these are the two iPhones with the best battery, even better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. You only need to charge once to use all day, and you don't have to worry about charging because the device has 20W fast charging. It only takes 35 minutes to charge 50%!

The performance of the two devices is on par with the Apple A15 chip on the 5nm process. Both are still very smooth and can be used well for at least 3 more years, including gaming and video editing.

With the above comparisons, the iPhone 14 Plus has the advantage of low price and light grip. However, that is still not enough to overwhelm the iPhone 13 Pro Max which is strong in design, camera and screen!

Both models are new, genuine and have a 13-month warranty at Hoang Hai Mobile.
