iPhone 14 Pro Max review


The iPhone 14 Pro Max’s clever Dynamic Island, powerful cameras, always-on display and super long battery life make it the best phone money can buy.









The iPhone 14 Pro Max isn’t just the most powerful phone around. It’s a joy to use, thanks to the clever new Dynamic Island for displaying notifications and live activities. Apple’s largest Pro model also delivers fantastic cameras — including a new 48MP main shooter — an always-on display, compelling Action mode for video and excellent battery life. It’s pricey, but it’s also the best phone money can buy.

Pros

  • +

    Superb 48MP camera

  • +

    Very smart Dynamic Island

  • +

    Superb battery life

  • +

    Always-on display

  • +

    Impressive Action mode for video

Cons

  • -

    Lack of SIM Card slot will annoy some

  • -

    Still just 20W charging

  • -

    A bit thicker and heavier

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has the upgrades I was waiting for — and one I didn't know I needed. Yeah, the always-on display is well overdue, but the biggest upgrade is actually Dynamic Island, delivering alerts and live activities like your music, turn-by-turn directions, timers and Face ID animations.

It’s clever — and I admit it's just fun to use.

I also got a kick out of using the camera’s new Action mode for capturing video. Other smartphones have a similar feature, but the combination of the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s video quality and its super steady footage feels a bit like magic. Also magical is the ease with which you can switch between multiple phone numbers using this flagship’s eSIM functionality, though some will lament the utter lack of a physical SIM card tray.

Once again Apple has made the fastest phone around with its A16 Bionic chip, but it’s not really about benchmarks. Instead, it’s about what this chip enables, from the always-on display to the powerful 48MP camera and what it can do. Add in extra-long battery life and you have the best iPhone you can buy as well as the best phone you can buy period.
