Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is one of those devices that tries to pack a lot into one package. Let us see if Apple has managed to put together a phone that is actually worth your money. Announced in 2022, September 07, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
On the front you get a 6.7 inches, 110.2 cm 2 (~88.3% screen-to-body ratio) panel, pushing a resolution of 1290 x 2796 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~460 ppi density). Colours look punchy and text stays clean, so you will not have much to complain about here. It is not trying to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it does look the part. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Space Black.
Performance & Software
At the heart of it sits the Apple A16 Bionic (4 nm), paired with 6GB of RAM, which means smooth scrolling, quick app switching and no real hiccups in normal use. It runs iOS 16, upgradable to iOS 27 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
The camera setup is one of the talking points here, with a 48 MP sensor doing the heavy lifting. Expect solid detail in good light, with the usual softness creeping in once the sun goes down.
Battery
There is a Li-Ion 4323 mAh (16.68 Wh) battery inside. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.
