The best iPhone ever, version 2022, size XL - we have the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The list of novelties this year includes the notch morphing into a pill, the introduction of an Always-On display, and an all-new primary camera - and while you can get all of that on the 14 Pro, the extra screen estate and longevity coupled with the Max's 'ultimate' status mean it has a market niche of its own.
The Face ID notch that's been with us since the iPhone X was nobody's favorite, and perhaps its reincarnation as a pill is a step towards its eventual removal. But not before turning the eyesore into a feature - the pill is a Dynamic Island of notifications, blurring the line between hardware and software.
In a similar vein is the Always-On display - a software feature only made possible now in Apple's world thanks to LTPO displays being able to ramp down to 1Hz refresh rate.
A massive increase in brightness is also among the key developments this year, this one solely in the hardware department.
Late to yet another party, Apple finally joins virtually every other manufacturer and introduces a camera with a Quad Bayer type sensor - the specs on the 48MP main unit don't read like any other, so apparently, it's an exclusive design. The telephoto remains unchanged, but the ultrawide has gotten a sensor size upgrade, while the front-facing one now features autofocus (and maybe even OIS).
On the hardware front, there's the mandatory chipset update, of course, and little else worth mentioning. Well, there's the blanked-out SIM card slot for the US models, which will only operate with eSIMs - does that count as a hardware change? Crash detection and emergency sort-of satellite connectivity are also on the list of new features combining software and hardware.
Hardly anything has changed in the presentation of the iPhone 14 Pro Max compared to last year's model. The half-height box has a color-matched likeness of the phone printed on the lid, and opens with a couple of paper tear-off pull tabs.
Inside, the phone is lying face down, its back greeting you as you remove the lid. There's no charger bundled, but there's still a USB-C-to-Lightning cable, at least. And an Apple sticker, because free advertising.
yes you can sideload apps on ios. There are also ways to jailbreak and use developer modes
I read somewhere the iPhone can do sweep panoramas with its ULTRA-WIDE lens, but fail to see any results here. Not even sweeps with the standard lens as used to ALWAYS be published on GSM Arena. These are deal-breaker features as having the possibili...
Based on the specifications and benchmarks provided, I would rate the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max as follows: Performance: 9/10 - The powerful Apple A16 Bionic chipset, hexa-core processor, and high benchmark scores indicate exceptional performance ...
