This is from Apple UK. Different country pages seems to give different data 😵. In fact, difference between 13 PM & 14PM is only 2 grams, between 238 and 240…

iPhones are different weights depending on specs per country. You’ll see a difference of a few grams depending on region.

U.S. iPhone models (except SE) all weigh 1-2 grams more due to mmWave antenna.

Interesting thing to learn. It seems that only applies to selected models, because 14 Pro Max has the same data of 240 grams in all countries.
Important info: My 14 plus order has changed to preparing for shipment!!

I ordered mine on Sept 15th and I’m still waiting for them to charge my card and my status still says processing.
Between the 13 Pro Max and the 14 plus, I prefer the 14 Plus.
Before I ordered I went into the Apple store and wanted to know if the 13 Pro Max was discounted now that the new phones had been announced and was told that it wasn’t. So that meant the Plus was $200 cheaper which is a sizable difference.
I checked out the 13 PM while I was there in the store and didn’t notice the screen being any better than my 11, so I guess I must be one of those people that don’t notice ProMotion.
I prefer the better Bluetooth chip in the 14 Plus and I read that the 14 is supposed to have a better internal thermal design to keep the phone cooler and that was attractive to me also.
I also like that the Plus weighs less than the ProMax. And as far as the camera, I think my 11 takes great pics so I expect the 14 Plus camera will be sufficient for me.

After further analysis with my current 11 PM and other iphones in my family, I think the thing I’m going to miss the most is telephoto lens. Macro lens could be imitated by app like NeuralCam with good results (and I don’t remember last time I took macro picture) but the ability to take 3x optical zoom and 15x digital zoom is significant. And do not forget portrait photos using telephoto with more detail in the blurred background.
Anyway, once identified the mayor lack of 14 plus, I’m still convinced that It’s going to be the keeper!

I’ll admit telephoto lens is nice. But for me, I don’t need it for pics. I like telephoto lens for zooming in on something my nearsighted eyes are trying to see.
