Help, I’m feeling stupid

[Kate]

I’ve looked , noted, added, subtracted and my brain is frazzled.
Can someone tell me PLEASE, in inches, exactly how much larger an iPhone 14 Pro Max is than an iPhone 12 Pro Max?
Thank you from the bottom of my poor tired heart.

This shows screen size (which may not be quite what you're looking for?)
https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/

Select the phone from the pull downs on top, and the screen size is down a bit.

Hope this helps a bit!

I just scrolled down futher...

The 14 Pro Max is .02" narrower and .02" thicker than the 12 Pro Max.

.02" is just a teeny tiny bit more than 3/16" 1/32", if you're not great with decimal distances.

You're thinking 3/16 is close to .2"
.02" is closer to 5/256" and I would guess the two appear virtually identical in size.

Great news, thanks all!
So what’s all the hooey about how big it is if it’s the same size as both the 12 and 13 Pro Max?
So happy I went with the 14 Pro Max 512 (purple) because I love the size of my 12 Pro Max.

I was thinking 1/32"... ( 0.03125")... why I wrote 3/16", I don't know... (0.1875" )...

TheCaber, thanks so much!

One thing one can count on is the case of a previous 'Phone fitting any later model 'Phone.

A small pet peeve of mine.

Good question.

At the moment, and maybe for some time still, I'm not interested in a 'Phone larger than the 12 mini, so I hadn't looked into the 14 lineup other than to watch the keynote.

They're really interesting phones.

But I thought they were much larger than they actually are based on comments around the 'net by pundits who should know better.

Any way Kate, congratulations on picking the one you want.

If it wasn't, you could easily cancel or return it, but that could set you way back in delivery time for your next pic.
