It depends. I had a Plus, ended up passing it to a family member and getting the Pro Max, so I have some comparison.

The Plus is lighter, no real flaws that I can tell. Takes decent pictures, is a solid phone all around. Great battery life.

The Pro Max is the flagship, has the newest and best (newest chip, dynamic island, better cameras..) you have to look at your own use case / personality and decide from there. If your old phone performed well enough for you already, and you’re in the market for a smaller upgrade which isn’t groundbreaking, go for the Plus.

If you, like me, are prone to FOMO, want the best for the sake of having it and can afford it, need the features or find a good deal on the Pro Max in s configuration you want, go for it. Also if you keep your phones for a longer time, as the A16 chip will be supported for longer than the A15 in the Plus.

Hope I could help a little with my 2c.

So the 14 pro max has an A16 chip that will keep the phone performing better and for longer than the A15?

It will get supported for longer by Apple. As in, will get Updates longer, because it’s newer. Though to be fair, the A15 will get supported for a while yet, too- to judge by Apples excellent update policy.
