Quick answer
The iPhone 11 is 7.1 millimetres0.28 inches shorter and 32 grams1.13 ounces lighter than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Both run the same chip and sit at the edge of Apple's update window, so expect them to lose support next. You will feel the difference in hand: the Pro Max on Amazon (paid link) has more battery and a bigger view, but the standard 11 (paid link) is lighter and more comfortable. Step up only if that extra run time matters.
