But delve deeper into the device and an iPhone user would easily certify this device as the best iPhone ever in the market. Why, then, the perception that it does not feature a significant upgrade? That’s precisely the problem when you already have the best phone in the market, and you are trying to make it remain on top for another year. Here we have the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and apart from the display, battery, and physical dimensions, it remains identical to the smaller 14 Pro.

Design and Build Quality This is the least upgraded part of the 14 Pro series, and the reason why most people feel that the device is the same as the 12 Pro and 13 Pro. The stainlesssteel design continues with ceramic shield protecting the screen and the same textured matte glass at the back.

The phone is IP68 rated for splash, water and dust resistance. It is protected against water ingress at up to 6 metres depth for up to 30 minutes. The 14 Pro and Pro Max are available in Space Black, Silver, Gold, and Deep Purple colours. Apart from camera lenses and the housing getting bigger, the 14 Pro Max carries the same dimensions as the 13 Pro Max.

Key Features The Pro series have had the best processors in a smartphone, and this time, the Pro models feature the latest A16 Bionic chip, the result of 4-nanometer level integration. It combines a 6-core CPU with two performance and four efficiency cores along with a 5-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine.
