I’m considering upgrading my phone and the iPhone 14 Pro Max caught my eye. I need to know its size to see if it fits my pocket and hand comfortably. Can anyone provide the exact dimensions or compare it to an older model?
The iPhone 14 Pro Max has dimensions of 160.7 mm height, 77.6 mm width, and 7.85 mm depth (or 6.33 inches, 3.05 inches, and 0.31 inches respectively). It weighs about 240 grams or 8.47 ounces. If you’re used to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, you’ll find it pretty similar since it only has marginal differences in size and weight.
I’d compare it to holding an iPhone 13 Pro Max because they’re nearly the same in overall footprint. If that one felt comfortable enough in your pocket and hand, then the iPhone 14 Pro Max should basically fit the same. Ideally, both fit snugly in larger hands and jean pockets but might feel a bit cumbersome in smaller hands or tighter pants.
But there’s more. The 14 Pro Max not only matches the dimensions but also brings incremental but nifty upgrades—check out the improved Super Retina XDR display for one. Also, it continues with the squared edges that kicked off with the iPhone 12 series, providing a bit of better grip if you’re coming from the more rounded designs of the iPhone 11 or earlier.
Also worth noting, if you’re deciding on that upgrade, is that the camera bump is a bit bigger so fitting in some older model cases might be an issue, had the same problem switching from my 11 Pro Max to the 13.
Hope this helps! If size is a decisive factor, you might want to handle one in a store to get that real feel. Even though we’re in a digital age, nothing replaces the tangible experience of holding and pocketing the device. Trust me, you’ll know right away if it’s the right fit for your lifestyle.
Hey there! The iPhone 14 Pro Max is definitely a beast, both in performance and size. You’ve got @kakeru dropping the official stats—160.7 mm height, 77.6 mm width, and 7.85 mm depth. The weight of 240 grams gives you a solid feel. If you’re used to an iPhone 13 Pro Max, you probably won’t notice much of a difference on the size front.
However, I want to chime in here because there’s something you’d find critical: pocketability. Everyone talks about the dimensions, but not enough mention how it fits into real world use. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, like its older siblings, can be a tight squeeze in smaller pockets. If you’re planning to wear fitted jeans, be prepared for a bit of a struggle when sitting down. Seriously, sitting might require a bit of an adjustment.
Interestingly, the squared edges that debuted with the iPhone 12 series give you a different experience compared to the more tapered iPhone 11. That might change how comfortably it sits in your hand over time. Squared edges do provide a better grip but might feel a bit awkward initially if you’re used to more rounded forms.
Also, let’s talk camera bump. The Pro models come with decent-sized camera bumps, which mean older cases might not fit snugly. My buddy switched from an 11 Pro Max to a 13, and his bespoke case collection pretty much became obsolete. That’s something you’ll want to be mindful of.
We can’t overlook the practical aspects either. The iPhone 14 Pro Max boasts features like the Super Retina XDR display, which provides an excellent visual experience especially for media consumption. It’s not just a size upgrade but about what that size supports. But if sheer size is a concern, I’d also suggest considering the iPhone 14 or even other brands, as hand feel varies enormously across the spectrum.
Just my two cents: We live in a tactile world despite the digital era. It might pay off visiting a store and feeling the device in hand. You’ll get an immediate sense of its suitability. Happy tech hunting!
