I say call it whatever you want if someone asks. They’ll either know the difference, or they won’t and you can have fun making up a name.
It’s not a big deal.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Plus sized model is the top selling model.
I'm probably going to get this for my wife.
Gonna call this a fake, because that's not Apple's San Francisco typeface. It's a generic sans-serif, most likely an Asian typeface like Morisawa's A-OTF Gothic, that also contains English characters.
“Pro Max” doesn’t make sense now that we have chips called “Pro” and “Max”.
Although “Pro Plus” doesn’t exactly have a nice ring…

I would suspect that if this is the route they are taking, that the Pro Max will offer more than minor differences to hardware and or features.
The lower cost 14's will differ only in screen size, whence the plus name. I would guess the Pro version will differ in screen size and other additions (which has already happened in the past) whence the Max name.
I would hazard a guess that the Max will again have more camera features in addition to the standard Pro, maybe a faster SoC, more RAM, etc. Fact is, it's more than just a screen size difference and I guess they feel the name needs to reflect that.
Only a week to find out

I just hope the clear case is offered with the bottom closed instead of opened. Really want to use the clear case apple offers but can’t stand the bottom exposed.

Hahaha! nice one. Sounds like I'm buying an iPhone T-shirt.
Makes perfect, absolute sense. Actually, I thought it few months ago. The bigger iPhone 14 should be called Plus, to differentiate it from the top iPhone (the max).
Naming convention and consistency hasn't always been where Apple's shines.
The M-series naming convention certainly didn't help. 😜
It actually makes very much sense this year. Some people forget 6.7" isn't 6.7".
6.7" Max = largest display area and highest screen to body ratio, due to thinner bezel and pill/hole
6.7" Plus = notch with regular screen to body ratio, conventional bezel thickness
6.7" Max = largest display area and highest screen to body ratio, due to thinner bezel and pill/hole
6.7" Plus = notch with regular screen to body ratio, conventional bezel thickness
The original iPhone SE actually weighed almost exactly a quarter pound (113g). I’d like to go back to that.
I love bigger screens, but I might even pass on that unless it comes with the iPants XL pockets.
Whats in a name.. I will be upgrading to the Pro Max, Pro Plus, whatever its called.
I only got the SE2 for touch when you needed masks everywhere, so it's just a backup now.
That image is sooooooooo Photoshopped.
Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone 14 models at its September 7 event, including a standard 6.7-inch model that has been widely referred to as the "iPhone 14 Max" in rumors. However, the device could actually end up having a different name.
According to a photo of an alleged iPhone case from Apple, shared by Twitter user "Tommy Boi," the new 6.7-inch model might actually be named the "iPhone 14 Plus" instead. This would result in the lineup consisting of a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Of course, a photo like this could easily be photoshopped, but the "iPhone 14 Plus" name is still a possibility even if the leak is fake. The name "iPhone 14 Plus" could help to distinguish the device from the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and make it clear that the device is not a maxed-out model in terms of specs despite having a large 6.7-inch display.
Apple last used "Plus" branding for the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. Since then, Apple has used "Max" branding for its largest-sized iPhones, including the iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
An argument can still be made in favor of the "iPhone 14 Max" name, as Apple selling an iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max alongside an iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would certainly provide some consistency. We'll ultimately have to wait and see which names Apple announces at its event just seven days from now.
As for the source, Tommy Boi accurately leaked some of Apple's new iPhone case colors last year, but it's unclear if the cases were authentic or replicas.
