Colours

With the iPhone 14 you can pick between blue, purple, midnight, starlight, and red.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max has an entirely different set of colours which include: deep purple, gold, silver, and space black.
Display
The iPhone 14 has a 6.1 inch Super Retina XDR screen.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max has a larger Super Retina XDR screen at 6.7 inches, as well as another extra feature which is the Always-On display.

And if you want to save your battery life, all you have to do is either put it face down or in your pocket and the screen will go dark.
Dynamic Island
This is a feature unique to the iPhone 14 Pro line, where the black notch at the top is replaced with an interactive small pill cut out that fluidly moves to show you your notifications, music, incoming calls and more.Camera
