    In Canada, I returned my $1750 taxes in iPhone 14 pro max 128, and went to Costco in Ottawa and bought the 14 plus on 2 year Virgin contact. It was $485 plus tax up front, and $33 a month for phone and $45 a month for 15GB plan. This helps initial sticker shock. It’s always best to buy outright, but if you can’t, this is way better imo.

    Major factor in devices: if the devices were going to be exactly next to each other, device temperature could vary due to the vent on any certain device. If a vent is covered, the device could potentially overheat, and would possibly have to work out its battery much more for the same activity, reducing the prolonged usage. Adding some space can allow air to flow in on both devices since it would definitely be tougher to do when right next to each other.

If they did have a cooling structure, battery health management and usage would be far different and the structure would be far bigger.

      Maybe we'll do a video on this sometime, but we've explained it at length in many comments. The short of it is that Google has changed the algorithm and has forced creators to change or die out, and many previously popular channels that haven't adapted now get 1/4 of the views they used to and some 1/10th while they are still creating great content. They have had to lay off employees etc. and its a same. Blame UA-cam. For us, we are still creating detailed content that we are proud of. As for the "Not what we expected" there are numerous things in this video that we were legitimately not expecting. I did not expect the speakers to be just as good as the Pro Max. In the past, "Pro" iPhones have always had better speakers even if they are the same size. Now the 14 Plus has better and louder speakers than the 14 Pro, while the 14 has the "worst" speakers (that are still good compared to other brands). We didn't expect the 14 Plus display to be way brighter than the advertised 800/1200 Nits compared to the 14 Pro Max's 1200/2000 Nits. I also didn't expect the 14 Plus to heat up so fast and dim the screen so much more than the 14 Pro Max after just a few min of graphics testing even though it has a weaker A15 Processor. I also didn't expect the camera system to do as well as its doing (I'm editing the camera comparison now). Yes, our titles are "clickable" but they are not clickbait. Thank you for your viewership we appreciate you and your support!

    I think the only reason to go with a regular 14 or 14 plus model is solely for the lighter weight. That’s it. I personally believe they intended more differences to bring more people over to the pro models. Once I went pro, I couldn’t go back.
    By the way, the thing about the screen brightness - the extra brightness feature is only active when the phone senses you’re in direct sunlight (meaning sunlight directly on the screen) then it automatically gets brighter. If the phone doesn’t sense sunlight on the screen, it doesn’t get brighter.

    The iPhone 14 plus is a really good phone, it checks all the boxes and will last for a long time. If you are eager for the new feature like the camera on dynamic island, go for the 14 pro max or 14 pro because that will satisfy you although think about what you will actually need and notice. Instead of spending the extra $200 you could buy an Apple Watch or AirPods which could make more sense and you’re still getting a really good phone, but it honestly depends on what you think is best for you and your budget.

    I returned my 14 pro max. I hated many things.. the updates, the camera autofocus was terrible.. the price. I’m loving the 14 plus. The only thing I liked about the 14 pro max was better reception at work in a factory with low bars. I get a reliable signal now. The 14 plus has same modem. The dynamic island feels gimmicky just like the keybar on the MacBook pros. The overall quality of this launch was atrocious.

    Since Apple was able to shrink the same tech into a smaller area, I would have preferred a dynamic island sized "dynamic notch".
    Also, the dynamic island actually sits lower on the screen than the notch.
    I watch a lot of shows on my phone, and the dynamic island looks like it's actually more in the way. That slim part of the screen above it is basically wasted, and it actually makes you notice it more than the notch.
    So yeah. I'd prefer that pill pushed up, attached to the bezel.

    I know a lot of people are saying that you should not purchase a 14 Plus and just spend the extra $200 and get the 14 Pro Max or perhaps a 13 Pro Max. I admit with all things considered the $200 difference is not really that much more . That is if you pay full retail price for a 14 Plus, which I didn't. I purchased a 14 plus 256GB brand new factory sealed on eBay for $530 with free shipping! That's $469 less than retail and $669 less than a Pro Max, I think that is a compelling reason to consider a 14 plus over a 14 Pro Max. Since the 14 Plus is not selling very well there is a glut of 14 Plus iPhones out there to be picked up on the cheap. With that said, I love my 14 Plus, it may not have all the features of the Pro but it is still a premium phone and at $530 a bargain in my opinion.

    Now if I was buying the phone for myself I would just pay the extra $200 and get the ProMax, and I would say if you plan to get the phone for yourself just pay the extra $200. I use Android and do a lot of photo and video editing on my phone so flagship specs are really important to me.

I just wanted a bigger screen and better battery life on a good quality phone and the 14 plus is just awesome. If you have to slow down footage to see the differences between the pro max and 14 plus, shows that the difference is minimal. Am absolutely happy with my 14 plus. The $300 I saved allowed me to buy the cases, a good screen protector and cables I needed, with money left over.

      I paid £550 brand new and iPhone 15 max pro is around £1000 cheapest and I really don’t need more then 14 plus offers.
      I’m currently on iPhone 7 and only bad thing is battery lasts very limited time. I just hope the 6.7 inch screen don’t make the phone too big.
      I’ve used my brothers 6.1 inch phone and that seems fine. .6 of inch don’t sound much but lots are saying it’s just too big and they exchange it.

But when I compared them side by side, the difference was marginal at best and NOT something I would notice daily. Now 2 years on my view (sorry about the pun), has not changed. My wife still has a 7p so comparisons are easy to make.
    Yes there's a huge difference in numbers between 120Hz and 60. But it's not going to make anything load faster or make my battery last longer. I'll reserve judgement until I get a 16Ultra.

    I hate the notch the island is so much less distracting. That notch just is horrible for watching videos, so distracting. I was a Samsung Note user till the 12 Promax and this new island makes me remember how much more I like the small cutout over the full on notch.

    I have a 14 Pro and even after using it for 2 weeks, I miss the notch. The dynamic island looks a bit weird and is definitely a gimmick.

      I am glad you at least recognise that the island is just a gimmick, many people are just living in denial 🧐

      Coming from the Samsung Note series, the DI is definitely far more welcome than the receding hairline on the 13, and 14 plus. And one of the reasons I decided to switch back to an iPhone.

    Let me be honest with you. I enjoyed your comparison video so much. Representation was definitely better compared to the other tech channels.

    I upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro Max to iPhone 14 Plus because my phone company had a deal and I prefer the iPhone 14 Plus because I don't care much about the dynamic island and the camera. I still think it's a good upgrade because of the screen quality difference. I was wanting to get the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I did not want to spend more money on features that I think would be useless for me as I don't play games or take a lot of crazy photos.

    If you’re spending that much on the 14 max might as well get the pro max. Not that much more and it’s way better. You’re always gonna make the money back. Buy it!!

    Very useful and thorough comparison and I for one will get my 14Plus instead of the Promax which is really value for money. You made my decision easy and saved me a few (100) bucks👍👍😁😁
