Which machine is better to buy?

The battle between Apple's entry-level and Pro versions has become familiar to us. If you want to understand the differences between these two devices, let's compare the differences between the iPhone 15 Plus and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Design

These two devices share many similarities. Both the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max have narrow bezels, glass backs, and comparable weight. Both also feature Dynamic Island displays, facilitating a convenient user experience without taking up excessive screen space.

However, the iPhone 15 Plus uses an aluminum frame, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max uses premium stainless steel. The iPhone 15 Plus is slightly larger, measuring 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.65 mm, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max, released in 2022, measures 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.9 mm.

Screen

Both the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature 6.7-inch OLED displays with a resolution of 2796 x 1290 pixels and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a smoother experience. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also features Super Retina XDR technology and a Ceramic Shield coating to resist fingerprints and scratches. The iPhone 15 Plus has an ambient light sensor and proximity sensor, adjusting brightness according to the environment for a sharper display.

Camera

The iPhone 15 Plus features a dual-camera system like its predecessors, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is equipped with a triple-camera setup.

However, the main camera resolution on the iPhone 15 Plus has been upgraded to 48 MP, matching the 48 MP camera on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This ensures better image quality for users.

One key difference between these two models is their optical zoom capability. Both the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature 3x optical zoom. This is considered a significant improvement for Apple's new Plus versions.

Performance

The iPhone 15 Plus continues to use the A16 Bionic chip, inherited from the Pro and Pro Max versions of the previous year. This means that both devices have comparable processing power, experiencing no problems when playing demanding games or performing high-demand tasks.

Both the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Plus are equipped with 6GB of RAM. This allows you to open multiple apps simultaneously and multitask without any problems.

In terms of storage capacity, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is superior to the iPhone 15 Plus. Specifically, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has four storage options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The iPhone 15 Plus, on the other hand, only has three options: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.

Battery capacity

The iPhone 15 Plus is equipped with a very powerful battery, with a capacity of up to 4,383 mAh. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a battery capacity of 4,323 mAh. This is a significant improvement that helps the iPhone 15 Plus last longer than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max boasts superior charging capabilities compared to the iPhone 15 Plus. It supports MagSafe wireless charging with fast charging power up to 27W, while the iPhone 15 Plus only supports 15W fast charging. Furthermore, the iPhone 14 Pro Max also offers superior wired fast charging.

Selling price

According to recent news, the iPhone 15 Plus has a starting price of $799, $899, and $1099 for the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options, respectively. Therefore, the expected price of this device when it arrives in Vietnam will be from 24.5 million VND.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is currently priced at VND 25.69 million, VND 28.59 million, and VND 35.79 million for the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions, respectively. Therefore, it's clear that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is more expensive than the iPhone 15 Plus. This is because the Pro Max line is always positioned as significantly more premium than the Plus version.

Note: The prices of the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max are updated as of September 18, 2023 and may change over time.
