That’s why I went out and shot over 200 photos with the iPhone 16 Pro Max vs. iPhone 14 Pro Max to see what differences there are between the two-generation gap. Earlier this year I also shot over 200 photos against the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max, only to find the outcome to come out closer than I expected.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max was unveiled on September 9, 2024, and shipped on September 20, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max landed two years earlier, in September of 2022. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is widely available, but Apple has discontinued the iPhone 14 Pro Max, so new units are increasingly hard to find.
