Verdict

Even if we consider the up to $200 price reduction on the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 128GB storage, the new iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB seems like a better choice. For $1000, the new iPhone 15 Pro features a lighter and more durable design than the predecessor iPhone 14 Pro Max and offers faster performance, an advanced camera system, improved connectivity, and a USB-C charging and data transfer port.

iPhone 15 Pro

But if you like a larger display, a longer battery, and a different color range, then choose the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
