Last nights Apple event saw the companies introduction to the new iPhone 14 family. Like always, Apple's events were very hyped up and were not short of excitement for the unveiling of their new products. While there were many which included the mobile devices, new airpods and watches, there was one particular thing I was most interested in, that was the Pro Max version of the iPhone 14. I recently purchased my first iPhone, the 13 Pro Max and with my short period with the device, I can instantly see what it has been such a hit with many over the years. While there is some short comings when moving over from Android, it's nothing that is too much of a bother and there is always a work around, even though it sometimes is a bit more complicated than it should be but other than that, usability is very easy and there wasn't even a transition period and the interface is so similar, that it was almost seamless. Anyway, enough about my experiences with my device, lets take a look at the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max.
While Apple did launch a standard iPhone 14 as well as the Pro, the Pro Max is the one that has everyone talking. Bringing in a host of new features and tech which includes satellite calling and texting! Yes, in areas with no connectivity, you can make satellite calls or texts from your iPhone 14 Pro Max, this is thanks to a smart new antenna that they've developed over the years that fits into the unibody of the device and enables you to contact first responders during emergencies. It's a massive leap in terms of satellite calling tech, with regards to the texting, they have created a new algorithm that makes messages samll enough to send via the network. Apple say they've developed a special software to show users where to point their phones to maintain a connection. The service will be free for two years with the iPhone 14 starting in the US and Canada.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max display remains the same size as the 13 Pro Max measuring in at 6.7" and has Ceramic Shield which is tougher than any smartphone glass and is water resistant. One of the key new design elements is the removal of the notch and the addition of the "Dynamic Island" display which see's the front facing camera, and other sensors move into a floating island at the top of the screen. This then transforms as you use the device to display incoming messages, music that you're listening too, notifications, Siri commands and so much more. The device has always-on display and has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The iPhone 14 Pro Max features the new A16 Bionic chip, the company\s first 4nm based chip which they claim is generations ahead of their competitors and up to 40% faster than the competition. The neural core and memory bandwidth have also been radically improved, enhancing image and video captures and bumping up gaming performance.
Camera game on the iPhone 14 Pro Max has been elevated to the Max, with it having a triple lens system that has a 48MP main camera with quad-pixel sensor, that can take uncompressed ProRAW imagines with greater detail and colours. It has a 12MP Ultra Wide camera for sharper, brighter macros shots and 120 degree field of view and a Telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and up to 2x better low-light photos. Videos on iPhones are always amazing and that doesn't change with the iPhone 14 with it now features "Action Mode" which improves stabilisation when recording.
Battery life has also been upgraded in the iPhone 14 Pro Max with Apple claiming an all in, all day battery life that can give you up to 29 hours video playback! It also features a MagSafe charger for faster wireless charging. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will also be the first Apple device to do away with sim trays as its adopting eSIM, not sure if this will be the case for local models as well but we will have to wait and see.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available for shipping from the 16th of September with the pricing coming in at $1,099. Local pricing and availability is still yet to be confirmed.
