Clickbait.
I got my 14+ for the SOS emergency feature that the 13PM does not.
That's all I needed...

That’s fair and I don’t feel like you called me out! 🙌 I use ProRAW for my amateur astrophotography love. I always shoot in ProRAW to help capture as much detail as possible. The attached picture had a nice glow from a close by camp fire/smoke:
14 Plus is a great phone. I think we’ll see great sales for it especially through the holidays.
I wouldn’t recommend that
I bought my 14 pro max without following anyone’s opinion. However, now that I have one, I’d probably get the 14 pro instead. But I’m still keeping the max. Love the screen ❤️
In my opinion the plus should pick up now that it’s released. I bet it does well in the holiday season.
Just like my opinion man but coming from a 12 Pro:
-Here in EU, buying used 13 Pro Maxs is pretty hard to do, most carriers have replaced with the 14s now. Inflation and exchange rate still makes it more expensive for the pro phones
- Don’t need Promotion
-don’t need AOD
-The 48 in ProRaw only doesn’t really help me in my use cases
-Dynamic Island isn’t worth it to me
-Don’t care for the telephoto lens, barely use it on my Pro
-Battery sucks on the Pro, esp with IOS 16. Need more than a day battery
-i want a bigger Screen
So it’s perfect for me actually, maybe in a few ones I’ll jump back up to a Pro. But I’ll let you know how it goes when my 14Plus gets here

Because it’s still a big phone. And it costs the same as a brand new iPhone 13 Pro Max from phone carriers.
14+ weighs in at 7.15 oz.
My 12 Pro that it replaced weighs 6.70 oz.
Difference less than half an ounce!
I'll take the 14+ with larger screen and practically the same weight as my 12 Pro anyday!

I dont wanna buy a used phone
I want a lighter phone
I want the midnight colour
As for the 14 Pro Max, I dislike the dynamic island since it sinks lower into the screen than the notch.

Unless emergency satellite communications is important, or buying a phone a year later in the production cycle, or battery life.
I don't know what's more cringe. This guys clickbait youtube titles, or the fact that he tries to look like Steve Jobs.
IMHO, Daniel from ZONEofTech is usually a great YouTuber and he actually recommends the 14 Plus for some users.
He addresses the topic, clickbait to me usually implies dubious content, and/or some type of bait and switch.
Putting "SCAM" in capital letters anywhere in the title is clickbait.
Absolutely no reason, in fact buying a 14 Plus over a 13 Max is a poorly informed, bad decision.
Capital letters? LOL. Subjective opinion, as that usually implies deception or being misleading by
every definition.
I look beyond titles and actually look to the content the person puts together.
Especially those of us who venture out to nowhere like me.
In the past I would have to rent a satellite phone or text only device and carry that into the backwoods where we fish.
Now, I don't need to rent a sat phone !
Heck, I've been in the parking lot of a welcome center-type building in a park in the mountains of North Carolina and had zero signal, much less out in the wilderness. I'm glad we have this backup option now.
If you can get a 13PM then there is no reason to get the 14 Plus. Nobody is really attempting to make the case that a 14 Plus is a better buy for people who are in the know.
The 14 Plus is mainly for people who want a bigger iPhone with a hard limit of how much they want to spend, or just don't care about the pro features. It's for the masses that just walk into an Apple store and decide on the spot between the 14 Plus and the 14 Pro Max.
For us, the kind of people who post on an Apple forum and know a bit more about it, the 13 Pro Max is the obvious buy.
