iPhone 14 Pro Max Lasts Two Hours Longer Than iPhone 13 Pro Max in Battery Test

Talks about iPhone 14 Max in the article. No such thing. It’s iPhone 14 Plus.Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 Pro Max sticks with 20W charging,
I don't understand their comment about 20W charging.
I own the 13 Pro Max and the maximum charging rate is 27W and with the 14 PM is supposed to be 30W
I use the Anker 45 W charger on the phone and my M1 iPad Pro 12.9 (which has a maximum rate of 38W).
This setup works really well. Anker has new 30W Nano III chargers for those that just want the quick charging.

See for 30W 14 Pro Max:

You are going to have to pay more for the fastest iPhone 14 charging...www.forbes.com
They definitely messed up the charging testing if they mention 20w. Like an earlier poster said 13PM supports 27w charging.
Yes, MKBHD noted it’s a bit less with AoD
The fact overall the battery is similar is awesome though. 13 pro/max had amazing battery
Every since the 11 Pro Max, Apple REALLY stepped up their battery game. Since the 4s and every iPhone after that, my iPhone had a Mophie case with the biggest battery capacity attached to it. But since the 11 Pro Max, I don’t need one anymore. It literally has all day battery. I come home from a long day at work with like 60%+ battery left. It’s crazy. And when I upgraded to the 13 Pro Max? Battery was even better. So to think the 14 Pro Max is improved even more? So damn impressive
I find after a year, my 13 Pro's battery hasn't held up great. Battery health is at 95%. And I would say I often — not always– have to charge it at least once a day. I would love to have true allday battery life.
Most impressive, as I'd avoided iPhone for many years and one of the reasons was battery life. The 13 Pro Max, my first ever iPhone, has done better than any Android phone I've ever had, including the Pixel 3aXL and Galaxy Note 4, so to then go and escalate that by a further two hours in high drain is the kind of stuff that really makes a device useful. One thing I've found with the 13 Pro Max is that, due to the capacity, charging speed isn't nearly the issue that it was for me before because the phone rarely gets drawn down enough during the day for it to matter....you can almost always charge on your own terms. Perhaps by the time I next update (16PM?) they'll be closing in on 20 hours?
Apple claims 35 minutes to 50% and not 30 like the article suggests. 5 extra minutes could fill up for 42% to 50%
If you are homeless, and McDonalds and Starbucks won't let you inside, and you can't afford a power bank, then true all day+ battery life becomes very important.
"Unfortunately, the iPhone 14 Pro Max sticks with 20W charging,"
The article discusses the iPhone 14 Pro Max as I quoted in the first line of my comment.
Toms was thinking of the non-Pro models which do have 20W charging.
The fast charging works really, really well on my 13 Pro Max, but the phone does get a bit warm.
My 12 Pro has a terrible battery - I must abuse them somehow. Down to 80%. I still get all day. Different people just use phones differently I guess.
My 12 Pro Max is at 89% battery health (2 years old). That's about the same as previous iphones I've owned (before the 12 PM it was the XS, which I think got down to 88% at 2 years old).
Should be having a similar battery life as 13 Pro Max with always on display enabled.
Unfortunately those same tests put the iPhone 14 Pro at 2 hours less than the 13 Pro. I’m surprised MR didn’t mention that as it is quite shocking.
Power banks are solution to the slow "quick charging" that you were hyping at your first comment also.
I am happy apple is finally making proper all-day devices. I am enjoying this new direction away from "form over function".
Technically yes they are but would you rather carry a power bank every day with you or have a faster charging mechanism?
Fast charging is good but for my needs I only found it helpful on 2 or three scenarios so far, and all of them when travelling. Every day life it won't matter to me if is fast or slow since I only charge it once in 24 hours, when I am sleeping.
