Does anybody have a comparison to show the difference of screen brightness to the 13 pro and the 14 pro in direct sunlight? Most of the reviews I have seen never show them next to each other in sunlight and on the off chance they did, they said that they didn't see a difference.

I am getting my 14 Pro Max later today, but I only have my iPhone X to compare it to, which will obviously will be a major jump no matter what. Anybody who wants to step up, please do!
 
I definitely notice a difference outside. It’s simply readable where you’re not straining to see it. I’m impressed with it.
 
Crazy bright in my car. I have a Belkin MagSafe charging car mount and my iPhone gets plenty of sunlight, very noticeable. iPhone gets cooled off by the air vent lol.
 
Nada. You'd be hard pressed to notice any difference.
The difference between my 12 Pro and 14 Pro was very noticeable this afternoon at the park. In dark mode text was so much easier to read. That alone made it worth the upgrade for me.

Not sure about 13 to 14, but I compared max brightness between my 12 PM and a 14 PM in really bright Best Buy lighting and was blown away by how much brighter the 14 PM looked. I’ve always thought the 12 PM had a bright screen, but it looked dim next to the 14 PM. Comparing my wife’s 12 P and 14 P at home in dim lighting later, I didn’t see as much of a difference, so I think the extra brightness of the 14 doesn’t kick in all that much until you get into really bright lighting.
