Considering an upgrade
Screen diagonals are 6.7″ and 6.1″. iPhone 12 Pro Max has the larger display, useful when space for spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows matters. This comparison covers the stated sizes; a different chassis size may change the conclusion.
iPhone 15 is 57 g lighter (228 versus 171 g). That is a concrete advantage when carrying the device frequently, and usually matters less at a desk.
Specified maximum SDR brightness is 800 and 1000 nits, higher on iPhone 15. Consider this in bright ambient light. HDR brightness is a separate specification.
