Should you upgrade from the iPhone 14 Pro Max?
Your 14 Pro Max still does the job. The 18 Pro is a nice-to-have.
- It is 4 years old.
What the iPhone 18 Pro adds over the iPhone 14 Pro Max
- A20 Pro chip, 4 generations newer than your A16.
- 36 hours of video playback, against 29 on yours (both with a new battery).
- Apple Intelligence and the new Siri, which need an iPhone 15 Pro or later.
- USB-C instead of Lightning, one cable for your phone, laptop and iPad.
In the United States, an iPhone 18 Pro 256GB costs $1,199. After selling an iPhone 14 Pro Max it costs $783 to $852. Your own result depends on battery health, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your phone.
If the battery is the problem, a battery replacement at an Apple Store or authorised repair shop costs far less than a new phone.
