**A Day with the New iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max: A Comprehensive Review**
---
### Introduction: A Long Night Filming and a Big Day Ahead
The video begins with the creator, clearly exhausted from a long night of filming but determined to make the most of this big day. He mentions that he moved into a new place and is now testing out the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. His excitement for the day’s activities is palpable despite his tired state.
He starts his day by highlighting some of the new features he wants to test, including the cameras, battery life, and overall user experience of Apple's latest pro iPhones. He decides to take a walk up the stairs instead of taking the elevator, mentioning that he’s running a bit behind schedule but still eager to get started.

### A Haircut in the Neighborhood
The creator mentions that his neighborhood barbers are closed on Sundays, so if he wants to look good for all his upcoming videos, today is the day. Unfortunately, the train isn’t working, forcing him to walk to his barber shop. He also jokes about forgetting to bring a neutral density filter for his camera, which leaves him with the perfect opportunity to test out the new front-facing True Depth Camera on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, complete with autofocus.
He conducts his first battery check of the video. Having taken the phone off its charger at 10 AM, after scrolling through social media, watching videos, and other activities, it’s now about an hour and 45 minutes later, and the battery is already at 87%.

### A Brand New Look: The Deep Purple iPhone
Upon returning home, the creator mentions that he’s still a bit buzzed from three shots of whiskey. He then opens up some boxes from J.Crew, noting that this video isn’t sponsored but has a point to make. Inside the box is a purple t-shirt, which he explains was ordered because they’re reviewing the deep purple iPhone 14 Pro Max. He jokes that it’s now time to talk about color story.
He describes the phone’s deep purple color as more of a muted, elegant shade rather than a vibrant one. In person, he says the color can look gray depending on the lighting but prefers to describe it as dark plum, especially in the shade. This year, Apple released two new colors alongside silver and gold: deep purple and space black.

### A Note from the Video Sponsor: Torras Cases
The creator takes a quick break to mention his favorite case for the iPhone 14 Pro Max—the Mars Climber by Torras. He describes it as a matte case with a translucent design, perfect for pairing with his space black iPhone. The case features 360-degree surrounding honeycomb airbags and built-in bumpers for accidental drops. His favorite feature is the built-in kickstand, which allows him to prop up the phone vertically for video calls or horizontally for watching movies.
He also mentions the Guardian case by Torras, which comes with a magsafe version and offers 360-degree airbags and x-shock four corner airbags. For those who prefer a clear case, he recommends the Diamond Clear or Moon Climber cases, both of which offer protection against yellowing and scratching.

### Testing the iPhone in Public
The creator decides to head out with his phone still in its case to keep it discreet since the iPhone 14 Pro Max hasn’t been officially released yet. He mentions that he wants to avoid drawing too much attention while testing the phone in public.
He heads to a restaurant in Williamsburg for brunch with Chai, where they enjoy their meal and discuss the new features of the iPhone. While at brunch, the creator receives some good news: someone gave them tickets to attend the US Open final that day. This changes their plans, and they rush through brunch to make it to the event.

### Highlighting New Features: Dynamic Island and Cinematic Mode
The creator takes his nephew David out for a walk, where he demonstrates some of the new features on both the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. He shows how the screen behaves after timing out: while the 13 Pro Max goes dark, the 14 Pro Max dims slightly, allowing him to see the time and notifications.
He also points out the difference between the notch on the 13 Pro Max and the punch hole (Dynamic Island) on the 14 Pro Max. He explains that the Dynamic Island can grow or shrink depending on what’s happening on the phone, such as showing album art or waveform during music playback.
The creator also mentions that fans of cinematic mode will be pleased with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, as it now supports shooting in 4K. This is a significant upgrade from previous models and adds even more flexibility for content creators.

### Testing the Camera: A New Wide Lens
While at brunch, the creator takes advantage of the new wide lens on the 14 Pro Max to take some photos. He shows how much wider the lens is compared to the 13 Pro Max, capturing more of the salad and the foliage behind Chai.

### Attending the US Open Final
The creators make it to the US Open final just in time for the match. They conduct a quick battery test before heading out: at 4:08 PM, the phone is at 33% with about three hours of screen-on time. The creator notes that this is heavy usage due to filming, taking photos, and using various apps like Instagram, Safari, and YouTube.

### Wrapping Up the Day
After the match concludes, the creators head back to Long Island City. Before leaving, the creator switched his iPhone to low power mode, which helped extend the battery life. The phone’s final screen-on time is four hours and three minutes, with most of the battery drain coming from camera usage.
The creator decides to switch out his wallet for a battery pack, which he snaps on to charge his phone again. He also mentions that the Dynamic Island feature provides notifications when the phone is charging or low on battery.

### Final Thoughts
Reflecting on his first 24 hours with the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, the creator highlights both the highs and lows of using the devices. He emphasizes the need for proper protection with a good case, as he learned during his trip to the US Open.
He invites viewers to leave their questions in the comments section, subscribe to his channel for more videos, and follow him on social media for behind-the-scenes content. He also mentions that he’ll be posting sample photos on Instagram and Twitter soon.

### Conclusion
The creator concludes the video by thanking his audience for watching and expressing excitement for the upcoming reviews of the iPhone 14 Pro series. He reminds viewers to hit the bell icon for notifications so they don’t miss any new videos, as there’s much more content yet to come.
