The iPhone 14 Pro Max brings a refined design as well as speed and camera improvements on top of the hugely successful 13 Pro Max. In this article, we explore what's new and different...
The iPhone 14 Pro Max largely keeps the looks from its predecessor with the same screen size, flat sides and same glass and stainless steel materials. What is changing, however, are the dimensions of the new 14 Pro Max.
Thanks to a taller aspect ratio for the display, the phone itself will be narrower and easier to grip with one hand. What you will notice even more, though, is that"i" shaped Face ID system on the front that replaces the notch. It still eats up quite a bit of space, but less than the notch and arguably, it gives the new iPhone 14 Pro series a look unlike any other phone. Both the 14 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max come in a selection of four colors, three of them nearly identical: Graphite, Silver and Gold. The fourth color option, however, will change from the current Sierra Blue hue to a new shade of purple. What we do not see changing are the contents of the box: expect to see only a Lightning cable and no charger. But what about the display? Both phones come with a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a nearly identical resolution. The iPhone 14 Pro Max, however, has thinner borders around the screen and uses a taller, 20:9 aspect ratio, while the 13 Pro Max has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. We expect Apple to also bump the max brightness even further on the 14 Pro Max, for a more comfortable outdoor viewing experience. And both being Pro series iPhones come with 120Hz ProMotion for smooth scrolling. And when it comes to biometrics, both phones rely on Face ID. Despite that new i-shape on the 14 Pro Max, it uses the same sensors and technology for face recognition as the 13 Pro Max.So far, we only know that Apple is expected to use the new Apple A16 Bionic chip in the iPhone 14 Pro Max, an upgrade over the A15 processor used in the 13 Pro Max. Apple was shooting for the iPhone 14 Pro to be its first one with a 3nm processor, but it seems that issues will prevent that from happening and the A16 might be built using 4nm technology, a smaller leap from the 5nm process used on the 13 series. Apple is also said to be sticking with 6GB of RAM on the 14 Pro Max, just as it did on its predecessor. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is also expected to debut the newest iOS 16 software. Just like always, the 13 Pro Max is also due to get updated to iOS 16 at the same time. Apple traditionally keeps its phones up to date for 5 or even 6 years, so both of these devices are perfectly future-proof.Apple has been a leader in camera quality, especially video, but what new does it bring to the table this year? First, expect to see a brand new and bigger 48-megapixel sensor for the main, 1X camera, a change from the current 12MP one. This is not just for the sake of 48MP landscape photos with stunning detail , but it's also about enabling 8K video recording, which might just be the killer feature for the 14 Pro Max. We also hope for improvements to Cinematic Mode, the signature iPhone 13 Pro Max feature that blurs the background in video much like Portrait Mode for photos. Apple was super proud of it, but there are some kinks to work out and the resolution there is still limited to 1080p. One thing that is not happening on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the inclusion of a long-anticipated periscope lens. Android rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have had a native long-range zoom lens for several years now, a feature iPhones will not be able to match this year.1X camera: 48MP on 14 Pro Max vs 12MP on 13 Pro MaxThe iPhone 13 series made a huge leap in audio quality with boomier, richer sound on all three models, and while we have not heard anything in the rumor mill about sound quality improvements, we keep our fingers crossed for the 14 series.We were also very happy with haptic feedback on the iPhone 13 Pro Max thanks to the Taptic Engine. So far, we expect that to work the same way in the 14 series.Even if it remains as long-lasting as its predecessor, the 14 Pro Max will be a big win The iPhone 13 Pro Max brought a big leap in battery life, not least thanks to an increase in the physical capacity of the battery from its predecessor. So far, we have not heard anything specific about the iPhone 14 Pro Max battery size, but considering the ever growing demands from our smartphones, we would expect the same or larger battery.On the charging front, we don't expect changes. The 13 Pro Max supports charging at 27W speeds, which means a full top-up with a compatible charger takes around 2 hours. We expect roughly the same to be the case on the newer 14 Pro Max.Both the 14 and 13 series of iPhones support MagSafe, the magnetic wireless charging technology providing speeds of up to 15W.Finally, here is a quick specs comparison between the two. Don't forget that we also have a detailed
