iPhone 14 Pro Max Review - After 2 Weeks!

# Full Review: Two Weeks With The iPhone 14 Pro Max

## Introduction

Hello and Namaste everyone! It has been exactly two weeks since I began using the most anticipated phone of 2022—the iPhone 14 Pro Max. For those unfamiliar, I transitioned to the Apple ecosystem two years ago, with my previous daily driver being the iPhone 13 Pro Max, alongside a MacBook. After witnessing the exciting innovations showcased during this year's Apple event—such as the new Notch, enhanced camera hardware, and the powerful A16 Bionic chipset—I immediately pre-ordered the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, due to delays, I had to resort to purchasing it from scalpers at a steep price of 2 lakh 65,000 Nepali rupees, equivalent to approximately $2,000 USD. This practice isn't unique to my location; it's prevalent in places like Dubai, Qatar, Hong Kong, and India. As a reviewer, I understand the urgency, but I recommend others to wait a week or two for prices to stabilize and stocks to become more readily available.

## Comparing iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro

The iPhone 13 Pro was almost a flawless device, and it still holds its ground as better than most Android flagships from 2022. With the iPhone 14 Pro, Apple has widened this gap even further. While there are notable improvements, they might not be substantial enough to justify an upgrade from the iPhone 13 Pro. In fact, I would advise those using the iPhone 12 Pro or earlier models to hold out for next year's iPhone 15 series. However, if you're still on the iPhone 10, 11, or an older model with a Touch ID, the upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro Max is nothing short of remarkable.

## Design and Aesthetics

I was anticipating some design changes this time around, but overall, the iPhone 14 Pro Max feels quite similar to its predecessor. The most noticeable differences are a slightly larger camera lens and the repositioning of the power button. In terms of color options, Apple introduced a striking new Deep Purple variant, which visually distinguishes the 13 Pro and 14 Pro models from the rear. The gold and silver options remain unchanged, while the black variant has been renamed to "Space Black" and is now much darker. I would have liked to see Apple continue the Sierra Blue variant from the iPhone 13 Pro, but I've never been a big fan of how heavy the pro series iPhones are. While I understand the use of premium materials like stainless steel and glass for durability, the iPhone 14 Pro Max feels too bulky and heavy, especially for someone with small hands. That said, you do get used to it eventually.

## Dynamic Island: A New Feature

One of the standout features of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the new Dynamic Island. While it might come off as a gimmick or marketing stunt to some, I find it to be an interesting quality-of-life improvement after using it for a while. The animations when interacting with the phone are quite dope—I particularly like how it displays charging status, low battery messages, and makes interactions with apps like Spotify and Apple Music smoother. However, Dynamic Island's potential is only scratching the surface; third-party developers need to fully embrace this feature to make it even more fun and productive. For instance, integrating features like real-time Premier League goal notifications through the Livescore app would be a game-changer.

## Display Quality

When it comes to the display, I have to admit that I didn't notice much of an improvement from the iPhone 13 Pro. While the 14 Pro can get significantly brighter outdoors, allowing for better usability under sunny conditions—a struggle on last year's model—it doesn't feel like a major upgrade indoors. Nevertheless, the iPhone 14 Pro Max still boasts one of the best displays you can find on a smartphone, according to DXO Mark and Display Mate lab tests. It offers excellent color uniformity, processes HDR videos exceptionally well, and I haven't spotted even a hint of screen burn-in. Additionally, this is the second generation of iPhones featuring a 120Hz refresh rate, which resolves the issues we encountered with some apps running at only 60Hz on the iPhone 13 Pro.

## Always-On Display and Battery Life

While I appreciate the Always-On display feature, it still falls short compared to what Android phones offer. For me, it's merely limited to dimming the lock screen brightness—a missed opportunity for more customization. Many users have also complained about its brightness being too high, leading to significant battery drain—about one percent per hour in my experience. Due to this, I've disabled it temporarily. In terms of battery life, with the Always-On display turned off, the iPhone 14 Pro Max performs similarly to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I was expecting better performance due to the display now dipping as low as 1Hz versus 10Hz on last year's model. However, it still impresses me by lasting between 30-35% charge after heavy usage over a day and a half or even two days without mobile data.

## Charging Speed and Port

The charging speed remains the same with Apple's 20W wired charger, which takes the phone from 0 to 80% in an hour but charges slowly beyond that. I believe Apple is being too cautious here—factors like gaming, taking 4K videos, and charging habits all impact battery health. Upgrading to a 30W or even 65W fast charger would be a welcome improvement. Unfortunately, the Lightning port still lingers, which is frustrating for tasks like transferring large files. I genuinely expected Apple to switch to a Type-C port this year.

## Audio and Performance

The stereo speakers have been upgraded, offering crisper and fuller sound with an impressive white soundstage. Performance-wise, iPhones have long dominated the smartphone industry, and the A16 Bionic chipset on the iPhone 14 Pro Max only solidifies that lead. The display dimming issues from last year's models have been resolved, making it the best gaming phone available today. It delivers top-tier FPS and sustained performance in demanding games. Additionally, the new Snapdragon X65 modem with 53 support introduces an Emergency SOS feature via satellite, though it's currently limited to regions like the US and Canada.

## Camera Innovations

This year, Apple made significant strides in camera hardware by introducing a 48MP primary lens—a 65% larger sensor compared to the iPhone 13 Pro. While I would have liked a 10x Periscope lens as seen on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Apple's focus remains on improving existing features. The front camera now includes OIS and autofocus, paired with the new ISP and DSP, resulting in better photo and video quality. Portraits particularly shine with improved bokeh and skin tone, though the difference isn't drastic. Low-light performance has marginally improved, butPixel and Samsung still edge out Apple in extreme conditions.

## Video Capabilities

While there's no 8K recording option yet—despite the camera's capability—Iphone remains king in videography. The stabilization is top-notch thanks to new sensor technologies, and the introduction of Action Mode brings super steady videos even during motion, a feature motovloggers will appreciate.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, my two-week experience with the iPhone 14 Pro Max has been overwhelmingly positive. Apple continues to refine its iPhones, making them better with each iteration. While it's not perfect—there are areas like charging speed and port compatibility that need improvement—it's hard to deny the appeal of this device. The gap between Android flagships and iPhones is wider than ever, as evidenced by declining sales of Samsung and OnePlus high-end models compared to rising iPhone sales.

In summary, if you're in the market for a premium phone and have the budget, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is an excellent choice. However, for those on a tighter budget or looking for specific features like foldables, other brands might offer better value. Apple's continued dominance in the smartphone industry is evident, and with each release, it solidifies its position as a leader in innovation and quality.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and Namaste everyone so it's been like two weeks now that I have been using the most hyped phone of 2022 the iPhone 14 pro max if you don't know about me it's been two years since I switched to the Apple ecosystem my daily driver before using this phone had been the iPhone 13 Pro Max and I use a Macbook as well and after seeing all the cool and exciting stuff during this year's Apple event like this new Notch the new camera hardware and an even faster a16 bionic chipset I pre-ordered it right away however it is still being delayed so I had to go to scalpers and pay 2 lakh 65 000 Nepali rupees to get this thing which roughly converts to two thousand dollars in the US such uh scalping practice is not just present here in my location but in most places like Dubai Qatar Hong Kong and India as well since I'm a reviewer I have to get them as quickly as possible but I would suggest you wait a week or two when the prices get back to normal and the stocks are easily available regardless I am really enjoying my time with my 14 pro the iPhone 13 Pro was almost a perfect phone in fact it's still better than most Android flagships of 2022 and with the 14 pro I think the Gap is getting bigger and bigger so I'm really hoping that the upcoming pixel 7 Pro and the Galaxy s23 Ultra will bring some major upgrades otherwise I think a lot of Android users will be tempted to switch to an iPhone more than ever it's not just because of how good the new iPhones are but in this part of the world iPhones are also considered a status symbol a bragging tool I realized it even more since last week because after the launch of the new iPhone 14 series at Gadget byte we have received a ton of calls and messages from iPhone 13 Pro users asking me about the availability of the 14 pro but let me just tell you that you won't find that many differences or huge improvements between these two phones for you to upgrade your iPhone 13 Pro is just fine and even if you are an iPhone 12 Pro user I think you should wait for next year's iPhone 15 series instead but if you're someone using the iPhone 10 or iPhone 11 or an ancient one with a touch ID this is going to be a heck of an upgrade anyway I was expecting some design changes this time around but it looks and few feels pretty much the same as last year except for a slightly bigger camera lens and location of the power button in terms of color options there's this new Deep Purple variant which I think a lot of people are going to end up getting because this is what visually separates the 13 Pro and 14 pro from the rear the gold and silver color options remain the same but the black option is now much darker and is called space black instead of graphite I would have liked it if Apple had also continued the Sierra blue variant from the iPhone 13 Pro though I have also never been a big fan of how heavy the pro series of iPhones are I understand apple is using premium dense materials like stainless steel and glass pack which contributes to the overall weight here but the 14 pro Max feels a bit too bulky and heavy for someone like me with small hands you will get used to it eventually though but I hope Apple Engineers find a way to make future iPhones a little more light okay over on to the front I am loving this new Notch which Apple calls Dynamic Island it is um not a game changer by any means but this little animation here when interacting with the phone is pretty dope I know there are a lot of people complaining that it's just a gimmick and a marketing stunt but after using it for a while I think it's a really interesting quality of life Improvement that needs to be appreciated I like how it shows up charging or low battery message or the fact that it is made interacting with Spotify and apple music a lot easier as well but what's interesting to understand is that Dynamic Island will only get more fun and more productive once Apple opens up the door for third-party developers to make the most out of it for instance I use the Livescore app a lot to stay updated with Premier League games and they could add a feature into Dynamic Island to notify you as soon as a team scores a goal that would be pretty cool now about the core quality of the display itself I've got to be honest I did not notice that much of an improvement from the 13 Pro the 14 pro can get quite bright Outdoors so you will be able to properly use it on a bright sunny day which was a slight struggle on last year's model but under indoor condition there is not much of a difference still the iPhone 14 pro has one of the best displays you can find on a smartphone even according to dxo Mark and display mates lab test this is the best display on a smartphone it has great color uniformity it processes HDR videos really well and I haven't noticed even so much as a hint of starter here plus this is also the second gen iPhone to feature A1 20 Hertz refresh rate so all the issues we had on some apps running on 60hz on the iPhone 13 Pro have been resolved here and almost all the apps now run at a smooth 120hz refresh rate however I can't say I um like Apple's always on display implementation for me Android phones still do it better right now it just dims the brightness of the lock screen and that's it many people have also been complaining about its brightness being a little too high so maybe Apple could add a custom slider to toggle the brightness of the always on display plus the widgets I can add on the always on display screen are pretty limited as well I would have also liked it if I could add widgets for Gmail WhatsApp and other useful apps here and because the brightness of the always on display is so high I am also losing like one percent battery per hour so I am disabling it for now I think it's after such a long time that I have seen Apple bringing in such an unpolished feature to the public now about the actual battery life with the always-on display turned off it's as good as the iPhone 13 Pro Max I was however expecting it to be slightly better because this display can now dip as low as 1 Hertz versus 10 Hertz on the iPhone 13 Pro Series but I am absolutely not completing uh you see most Android flagships can hardly make it through a day under heavy usage but the 14 pro Max always has like 30 to 35 percent charge left before I go to sleep so this is the only high-end phone that lasts me for 1.5 days or even 2 days if I don't use mobile data charging speed on the other hand Remains the Same this 20 watt wired Apple charger can take the phone from 0 to 80 in an hour and then it starts fueling up really slowly to ensure strong battery health as a result it takes like an hour more to reach 100 if you ask me I think apple is playing it too safe it's not just the charging speed that affects the overall battery health but factors like gaming and taking 4K videos for hours and how you charge your phone also makes a difference so I would love to see Apple upgrade to 30 watt or even 65 watt fast charging next time and I don't even want to get started with the lightning Port I um honestly was expecting Apple to bring a type c port with this year's iPhones but we're still stuck with a super slow USB 2.0 lightning connection so uh say your videography Enthusiast looking to copy a 50gb prores video that you just shot it's going to take a lot of time copying it on your desktop however what's improved here are the stereo speakers they sound crisper and Fuller with a white soundstage okay when it comes to Performance iPhones have been dominating the smartphone industry for over a decade now the a15 bionic from last year is already faster than current Android Flagship chipsets and with the new a16 bionic on the iPhone 14 pro series that difference is getting even bigger apart from the numbers Apple has also massively improved the display dimming issue we previously encountered with last year's models so uh the display on the iPhone 14 pro Max does not dim itself even after 30 minutes of Kenshin Impact gameplay or 4K recording I reckon Apple has improved the thermal cooling design on the 14 pro so with this and the power of the a16 bionic the iPhone 14 pro is easily the best gaming phone right now as it can deliver the highest FPS and stable sustained performance even in the most demanding games likewise the a16 bionic chipset is not just about Pure Performance it also has the new snapdragon x65 modem which is both faster and produces less heat while you're on 5G data it even has banned in 53 support which allows the new emergency SOS feature via satellite to work at launch this feature is only available in a handful of regions like the US and Canada though I'm also pretty surprised to see no Wi-fi 6E support here as the iPhone 14 series is still limited to Wi-Fi 6. all right let's start cameras now this time Apple has significantly upgraded the camera Hardware since we finally get a 48 megapixel primary lens on an iPhone which is not just big in terms of megapixel count but it's a 65 percent larger sensor than the iPhone 13 Pros we also get a new 12 megapixel Ultra wide angle lens although the three times telephoto zoom lens Remains the Same I would have loved if there was a 10 times Periscope lens as the Galaxy s22 Ultra but seems like apple is not interested in Zoom photography yet over onto the front Apple has finally introduced ois and autofocus in its selfie camera so these are actually great upgrades and pairing that with the new ISP and DSP I am getting better results from the iPhone 14 pro compared to its predecessor it's not that drastic but you will find the 4D Pros images to have better dynamic range less contrast and and overall pleasing look this is a not noticeable in all instances but most of the time the photos from the 14 pro look better with balanced colors and if you want more details you can enable the 48 megapixel mode and click raw images with stunning details similarly I found the portraits to have even better bokeh and skin tone on this guy as well once again it's not a huge difference but you will definitely like the photos coming from the iPhone 14 pro more this 48 megapixel main camera also allows for two times lossless zoom and you can see from these these images they are much better than the previous the same goes for selfies Ultra wide macro and even three times Zoom shots traditionally iPhone's photos used to be slightly contrasty with a warm Hue but this time around I feel like they've taken some inspiration from Pixel and Galaxy devices and turned it to be more likeable Apple also promises two times Improvement in low light conditions but I did not find it to be that significant of an upgrade yeah the 14 pro does take better shots at night sure but it is not twice as better as Apple would have you believe and I still think that when it comes to extremely low light conditions pixel and Samsung are doing a much better job with night mode I am also a little sad to see there's no 8K recording yet although the 48 megapixel camera is technically capable of shooting 8K videos that being said iPhones still remain the king in terms of videography and I found the stabilization to be even better here thanks to the new censorship 2.0 technology but more importantly Apple has finally introduced a super steady Mode called the action mode which is something we have seen on a lot of Android phones basically it crops the video and delivers super smooth and Incredibly steady videos even if you're running I am sure motovloggers will find this feature really useful so for selfie videos just like last time you can shoot at up to 40 60 FPS from the 14 pro Max 2. um this time you have ois in the selfie camera for 14 pro Max but I don't see any major differences when it comes to stabilization from both the phones the only difference I see is in terms of background exposure management which seems to be better on the iPhone 14 pro Max are much better actually apart from that the background noise scan solution is also better on the 4D format so there you have it guys that was my two weeks experience with the all-new iPhone 14 pro Max with every generation I am seeing Apple making their iPhones better and better of course it's um still not perfect by any means but it's almost there and uh that's kind of bad news for Android because I feel like the gap between Android flagships and this year's iPhone coding Pro Models are bigger than ever if you look at this graph every year the sales of iPhones are on the rise whereas the sales of Flagship devices from Samsung and OnePlus are declining year by year the reason why I think that's happening is because Brands like Samsung are more focused on foldables these days which is not a bad thing because I love older pearls um I think that's where the smartphone industry is eventually headed but it will take some time before we get there in the meanwhile apple is absolutely nailing the smartphone industry by perfecting their iPhones every year thus if you're looking for a Bangor of a phone and I've got the money to spend you should probably go and get this guyhello and Namaste everyone so it's been like two weeks now that I have been using the most hyped phone of 2022 the iPhone 14 pro max if you don't know
