Hi Richard, Well, one of the differences between the iPhone 14 Pro and the pro max is video playback. One reports 23 hours and the max is supposed to provide 29 hours. Really, I just don’t think that’s worth it. I do mostly audio, so I would assume that number would go up if I’m not doing that much with video playback.
