Apple is always successful in offering exciting features in a new model of iPhone. These features are usually enough to persuade people to upgrade. The same case is with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It introduced a bunch of different features that were completely new in the lineup. The Dynamic Island is one of its biggest examples.

You should be aware of a few additional facts regarding this phone in addition to this. In today’s review article, we will go over some of its most significant features. Let’s start.

iPhone 14 Pro Max – Overview

It’s been almost two years since the release of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It has been the first choice of many users even though another model has been launched by Apple. Well, we’re not going to compare them here. However, many experts have an opinion that if you have it, upgrading to 15 may not be necessary.

You may see why people think this way by taking a careful look at this device.

Its A16 Bionic chip gives it exceptional speed. Its Dynamic Island was a huge upgrade. Besides this, features like a powerful 48MP camera also made a lot of difference. We will go into the details of these factors next. For now, here’s an overview of the device:

Design

Its overall design hasn’t changed all that much. This applies to the back side where you see the old three camera lenses. Although they cover a lot of room. The front side is different due to the Dynamic Island. It is clearly noticeable when the screen is on.

Another noticeable thing about its design is its weight and thickness. Its size dimensions are 6.33 x 3.06 x 0.31. It makes the model clearly thicker than its predecessor. You get this model in four different colors. They are:

• Deep Purple
• Silver
• Gold
• Space black

The Dynamic Island

As discussed earlier, the Dynamic Island was one of the most noticeable features of this iPhone. It is basically a notch that’s placed on the top of the front screen. The interesting thing about this notch is that it has both the camera and the Face ID sensor in it. Besides this, it also shows the notification and other system information on it.

The reason why it’s called “dynamic” is because it isn’t fixed. This means that its shape, which is pill-like when static, keeps on changing according to different programs. This feature was definitely something new for iPhone users. It attracted a great deal of people to upgrade their phones. For example, it will change shape and show details while making a phone call. The image given below explains it:

 The Always-On Screen

Another new feature the users got to enjoy was the always-on-screen feature. This means that your screen remains dimly on even when you have locked your phone. Some people may not like this feature. So, Apple gave the option of turning it off completely. In general, getting used to it was a little hard for us during the testing procedures.

When this feature is on, you can almost see everything that’s on your lock screen. This includes your wallpaper, notifications, weather information, etc. There’s another interesting and advanced factor in this feature. It automatically goes off when you put the phone in your pocket or even upside down.

The Cameras

iPhone 14 Pro Max offers a 48MP camera for the first time in the lineup. It is ideal for capturing pixel-dense images of 12MP in size. If you like cropping your photos, using the Pro Raw mode can be useful. It captures images in full 48MP and covers as many details as possible. The zoom quality is also good (2X). However, it’s not as good as the S22 Ultra (10X).

The other two cameras of the phone are:

• 12MP TrueDepth camera
• 12MP ultrawide camera

They both enhance the quality of images according to their specifications. The better photo quality in low light is a great example of it. Its f/1.9 aperture has a lot to do with it. It allows the device to catch as much light as it can to keep the quality of photos decent.

As for video, you get two new features, the Action mode and the 4K resolution. Both of them have been a primary point of attraction for many videographers. Some even claim that you can shoot professional-level videos with this phone.
