Hi Kelly, Like Robert stated, the larger models get much, much better battery life. Before purchasing my beloved 14 Pro Max, I always carried a charging cable with me, when out for a day. With the Pro Max, I never, ever worry about running out of power in a day, even when using GPS navigation

I am curious for those of you who have chosen the 15 Max over the Pro, what lead you to choose the Max? Battery life or something else. My understanding is that the biggest differences are screen size, battery life and the depth for zooming with the camera. Kelly -- The following
