Upfront – there is not any query as as to whether the iPhone 14 Professional Max is likely one of the finest iPhones on the market, however as ever with Apple’s Professional Max line, it is extra a case of whether or not the bigger show and greater battery are sufficient of a draw over the telephone’s added dimension, weight and value; in comparison with each the usual iPhone 14 Professional and rivals from additional afield.
Now, because the iPhone 15 launch approaches, we take one other take a look at the iPhone 14 Professional Max — and are assured in saying it is nonetheless the world’s finest ‘huge’ telephone.
Apple’s system for this technology’s Professional sequence seems to be comparatively unchanged in comparison with predecessors at first look, however, in true Apple trend, it is these seemingly small alterations that collectively make an enormous distinction.
Whereas the baseline iPhone 14 does not push the needle on all that a lot from its 2021 forerunner, the Professional line shifts up a gear within the efficiency division by standing aside from their vanilla siblings, with the corporate’s newest A16 Bionic chipset. The notch has lastly freed itself from the mainland of the show’s bezel to type the Dynamic Island – which is only one of some huge show developments – and the rear cameras are greater and extra bombastic than ever, with an new 48MP main sensor, backed up by one thing Apple calls the ‘Photonic Engine’.
With all these new refinements at play, it stands to motive that the iPhone 14 Professional Max could possibly be the improve you have been ready for, even months after its initially launch, however let’s dig deeper to seek out out simply how a lot this telephone manages to ship.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Value and availability
Each the iPhone 14 Professional and iPhone 14 Professional Max hit retail on Sept. 16. 2022, proper alongside the usual iPhone 14. And whereas the iPhone 14 Plus featured on the identical launch occasion as the usual 14 and its Professional-branded counterparts, it noticed a delayed launch of Oct. 7, 2022.
Colours and storage stay constant throughout this technology’s Professional line, with Deep Purple being the brand new signature coloration this 12 months (pictured). Just like the 14 Professional, the Professional Max is accessible in Area Black, Deep Purple, silver or gold and could be paired with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage.
The 14 Professional Max begins at $1,099 / £1,199 / AU$1,899 for the 128GB mannequin however full pricing is as follows:
| Storage | iPhone 14 Professional | iPhone 14 Professional Max |
| 128GB | $999 | $1,099 |
| 256GB | $1,099 | $1,199 |
| 512GB | $1,299 | $1,399 |
| 1TB | $1,499 | $1,599 |
Basically, you pay a $100 premium to go for the Professional Max over the 14 Professional at whichever storage capability you land on.
Regardless of predictions of a value enhance for the entire 14 sequence, Stateside, iPhone followers needn’t have apprehensive, because the – nonetheless admittedly excessive – asking value for both Professional variant stays unchanged from the earlier years.
In markets additional afield, nonetheless, such predictions have been made actual, with the iPhone 14 Professional Max beginning a £150 costlier than its predecessor (for the 128GB mannequin), and equally vital hikes at each storage configuration up the ladder, making the choice to purchase outright that a lot more durable this 12 months for extra potential clients worldwide.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Design
Offered you are not trying on the unique new Deep Purple colorway, there’s little to assist set the iPhone 14 Professional’s design aside from its predecessor with out correct scrutiny, save for the Dynamic Island (which I am going to discuss extra about in a bit).
The identical straight-sided design revived by the iPhone 12 sequence persists right here and being a Professional mannequin, the 14 Professional Max sports activities a cultured stainless-steel body in opposition to a contrasting frosted glass again; the inverse of what you will discover on the usual iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, which characteristic polished glass backs and lightly-textured steel frames.
There aren’t loads of purple telephones on the market – at the least ones price shopping for – giving the Deep Purple 14 Professional Max examined right here the power to face out from the group considerably. I would not have minded if Apple had pushed the saturation and brightness of this latest hue a bit additional earlier than rolling it out of the manufacturing facility although, as in some lighting circumstances it is arduous to inform aside from the Area Black mannequin. Nonetheless, when the sunshine catches that tumbler again, particularly across the (now much more distinguished) digital camera bump, it may well actually ‘glow’.
Assuming you are not a fan of fingerprints, as with the 12 Professional’s and 13 Professional’s polished frames, you are going to need to go for among the best iPhone 14 Professional Max instances on the market, as smudges and smears are in any other case unavoidable.
As for sturdiness and ergonomics, that straight-edged metal body feels reassuringly inflexible within the hand, to not point out the telephone boasts each IP68 mud and water resistance, in addition to Apple’s personal Ceramic Defend throughout the show.
I say “boasts” however whereas I wasn’t courageous sufficient to drop check my 14 Professional Max, I did inadvertently topic the show to a scratch check, which was nothing greater than inserting the telephone face down on a (recently-cleaned) flat floor, solely to seek out that some imperceptible piece of grit had dragged a scar proper throughout the Dynamic Island after I picked the telephone up in the future. This corroborates earlier studies of lacklustre scratch resistance from Ceramic Defend that, in future, would push me to select up a display screen protector on the level of buy (and, after all, now we have a rundown of the perfect iPhone 14 Professional Max display screen protectors, should you’re apprehensive about your show befalling the identical destiny too).
A be aware that solely actually applies to those who have by no means used a Professional Max iPhone earlier than, it is likely one of the largest, bulkiest and heaviest handsets at its display screen dimension, making one-handed use notably cumbersome and precarious. It is suggested to at the least deal with one in-person earlier than laying down money for this telephone, until you are lucky to have bigger arms than most.
Having skirted round it lengthy sufficient, seize your shades, it is time to make a journey to Dynamic Island.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Dynamic Island
Having reviewed a mountain of smartphones from different producers who’d already made the soar to a punch-hole front-facing digital camera, I did not count on the 14 Professional sequence’ transfer away from the notch to be as revelatory because it might sound to those that’ve solely ever been on group iPhone.
Apple being Apple although, the corporate waited till it was snug in constructing on the idea in such away that bidding the notch farewell provided customers real new advantages.
Might the added worth that the Dynamic Island affords have been achieved on the earlier iPhone’s notch? Probably, however the implementation would not have been as elegant (or on-brand).
As foolish as it might appear at first, Apple’s clearly put loads of work into the interaction between {hardware} and software program that’s the Dynamic Island. Sure, at sure angles you’ll be able to see the person Face ID TrueDepth and front-facing digital camera sensors, however the intention is that each one you ever actually discover is a black pill-shaped factor that may shrink or develop as wanted to convey further data or present further management over choose options.
Picture 1 of 3
There is a studying curve, certain, however it’s small and as person interplay goes, the Island is each elegant and playful.
The one factor I refute is any declare that states it is less-intrusive than the notch. Positive, it is a smaller total factor – now really separated from the bezel by a channel of pixels – however it truly sits decrease and extra in direction of the middle of the telephone’s show than the underside fringe of the notch ever did.
There are many passive animations that the Dynamic Island can serve up: a padlock when the telephone is locked, a spinning ring when Face ID is making an evaluation, an audio equalizer and the tiniest album artwork thumbnail on both aspect throughout music playback and there are such a lot of extra examples I’ve each encountered and am undoubtedly but to come across.
There are extra lively experiences too: incoming calls embrace key data in addition to settle for or decline buttons, any lively timers are mirrored with an ever-present countdown and a long-press turns the pill-shape right into a full rounded rectangle in regards to the dimension of a notification, with extra data and added controls (relying on the expertise).
It’s also possible to faucet the Dynamic Island whereas it is lively to open the related app in full and if it splits aside – having been engaged by two appropriate apps concurrently (like Spotify and a timer) – you’ll be able to faucet on both factor of the now-two-element tablet to leap to both expertise straight.
There is a studying curve, certain, however it’s small and as person interplay goes, the Island is each elegant and playful.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Show
Whereas Apple granted the 14 Professional Max the identical dimension and backbone show as beforehand, this technology now integrates an always-on show (AOD) mode.
Throughout each the 14 Professional and 14 Professional Max, the display screen nonetheless serves up nice OLED visuals with a super-smooth 120Hz peak refresh price at its disposal, however the panels at work also can step proper right down to 1Hz for minimal energy consumption whereas nonetheless with the ability to show well timed data.
Very similar to Apple’s choice to deliberately sleep on punch-hole front-facing cameras till now, it is tackle the always-on show is considerably completely different to what you will discover within the Android camp; for one, your wallpaper stays seen.
Most different telephones boasting an always-on show serve up a close to all-black display screen, with some small components like a clock and some notifications icons to maintain you knowledgeable of ‘one thing’, whereas Apple’s model of the AOD does not look that dissimilar out of your regular lock display screen. You possibly can nonetheless learn notifications as they arrive in and the clock stays seen, however so does the complete wallpaper, albeit darker and dimmer till you faucet the display screen to wake it up.
In the event you depart the 14 Professional Max alone lengthy sufficient, and it does not detect any vital presence, even the AOD will flip off to preserve much more energy however, in apply, this makes for one of the crucial useable and best-looking AODs on any telephone presently on the market (not a sentiment everybody agrees with (opens in new tab), it appears).
You’ll have to get used to pondering your telephone hasn’t simply lit up with a recent notification otherwise you did not neglect to lock it within the first place, however as soon as you’ll be able to rapidly distinguish between your lock display screen and the AOD, it is an awesome new boon, presently distinctive to the 14 Professional and Professional Max within the iPhone household.
In the event you’d quite not use the AOD, you’ll be able to flip it off utterly in order for you or at the least schedule it to disengage when you relaxation as a part of a Sleep Focus. In the meantime the remainder of the show expertise is par the course; typically glorious coloration, distinction and viewing angles, with the additional benefit of latest peak brightness that was class-leading at launch (1,000nits typical max brightness – the identical because the 13 Professional Max, 1,600nits peak HDR brightness – up from 1,200 on the 13 Professional Max, and a pair of,000nits peak out of doors brightness, in response to Apple).
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Software program and options
Anticipate the newest iOS 16 out the field, which builds on the acquainted person expertise provided by the previous few releases of Apple’s smartphone working system, with some noteworthy enhancements.
That nice new show makes the many of the launch’s richer, extra customizable lock display screen expertise (which even permits for depth-mapped photographs to look each behind and in-front of components just like the clock), new clock types, the power to long-press and drag pictures between apps and textual content fields, enhanced focus modes with allowances for the telephone’s AOD, message modifying after sending, multi-segment journeys in maps (with the power so as to add stops through Siri) and a number extra additions besides.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Emergency SOS and Crash Detection
At launch, two highly effective new (however hopefully seldom used) additions to this technology’s repertoire are Emergency SOS through satellite tv for pc and Crash Detection.
Initially accessible solely within the U.S. and Canada in November 2022, earlier than increasing to France, Germany, the U.Ok. and Eire the next month, the iPhone 14 sequence’ greatest unseen improve facilities round security.
Emergency SOS through satellite tv for pc helps you to ship a sequence of messages, designed to assist collect key details about your emergency and sending it onto the emergency providers – even should you’re out within the wilderness, away from cell towers and with out mobile or WiFi connectivity. This new characteristic is made potential by new funding (opens in new tab) Apple has positioned in a satellite tv for pc connectivity operator, known as Globalstar.
As with accessing the facility menu, you’ll be able to provoke the characteristic by holding the aspect button and quantity up keys after which swiping on the following emergency SOS slider (there is a demo mode within the settings menu if you wish to see how the characteristic operates in additional element with out truly utilizing it).
For these questioning why it solely helps you to ship a textual content message and never a name, satellite tv for pc connectivity is not constructed for plenty of knowledge – as can be the case with standard messaging and calls – and even requires that you simply truly purpose your iPhone on the nearest satellite tv for pc to make sure your messages undergo (one thing the iPhone guides you thru within the second). For finest efficiency, it is said that you have to be exterior, with a transparent view of the sky, unobstructed by bushes and the like, if potential.
One other iPhone 14-series unique addition (in the meanwhile) is Crash Detection, which makes use of mixed knowledge out of your telephone’s gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, barometer, microphone and an ‘superior movement algorithm’ to guage whether or not you have truly been in a collision. If it does detect a crash, you will be given the choice to swipe to name the emergency providers (or dismiss the immediate) and if there is not any person enter detected after roughly ten seconds, an addition ten-second countdown will start, after which the emergency providers will probably be routinely contacted.
In each instances, these are the sorts of options that it is nice to have at your fingertips however you hopefully will not ever have to make use of, though the previous does additionally grant the iPhone the sting for avid hikers and the like, on the lookout for the perfect telephone for his or her way of life.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: eSIM
We have heard discuss of portless iPhones for a couple of years now and whereas we bid farewell to the headphone jack again in 2016 – with the iPhone 7 sequence – within the U.S. at the least, the iPhone 14 household – together with the 14 Professional Max – can be now devoid of a bodily SIM slot.
The primary criticizm to Apple going all-in on eSIM is that it makes swapping your SIM between gadgets nearly unattainable with out provider involvement, at the least proper now. Whereas the typical person will not want to alter SIM playing cards all that always, it does pose an issue for travellers seeking to pop in a neighborhood SIM whereas they’re overseas.
As I reviewed a world iPhone 14 Professional Max, mine nonetheless got here full with the bodily SIM slot, making shifting over to Apple’s newest and best pain-free, nonetheless, Christine Chan – who wrote iMore’s iPhone 14 Professional evaluation – picked her machine up from Apple within the U.S. with T-Cell as her provider of alternative.
In her evaluation, Christine detailed the setup expertise as follows, “eSIM activation was quite simple and simple. I simply needed to observe the on-screen directions – since I selected my provider when buying, the machine was already provisioned for T-Cell. I used to be apprehensive at first that there could also be points connecting to T-Cell’s community, however it all went down with out a hitch. Inside minutes, my mobile service was activated and I might make and obtain calls in addition to ship messages and get knowledge.”
Though an anecdotally painless expertise, it does not detract from the challenges customers committing to the present eSIM ecosystem face; primarily its reliance on pre-emptive provider provisioning as a way to facilitate a seamless setup expertise for end-users. But when any firm can nudge the complete cell trade to collectively enhance upon a longtime expertise like eSIM – within the pursuit of a extra seamless person expertise – it is Apple, and the SIM-tray-free iPhone 14 sequence within the U.S. seems to be to be the corporate’s equal of a name to motion.
As such, nonetheless you are feeling about eSIM proper now, I’ve a sneaking suspicion we’re solely going to begin seeing increasingly more telephone makers serving smartphones devoid of a SIM tray – might it relaxation in peace.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Efficiency
As talked about on the prime of this evaluation, in a merciless coincidence to potential iPhone 14 and 14 Plus patrons, solely this technology’s Professional fashions obtain a really new SoC (system-on-chip) from Apple; within the newest A16 Bionic (the non-Professional fashions arrive with the five-core GPU-laden A15 Bionic, beforehand unique to the iPhone 13 Professional and 13 Professional Max).
Apple’s telephones all the time provide up extra efficiency headroom than the vast majority of their Android rivals and the A16 helps place the 14 Professional Max on the prime of the pile, when evaluating synthetic compute exams like Geekbench 6. Understandably, real-world efficiency is simply as sure-footed, and with the 13 Professional Max nonetheless not displaying any indicators of slowdown a 12 months on from launch, the 14 Professional Max makes for one of the crucial wise buys for these after a tool with the power to ship properly past the typical two-year contract.
The A16 Bionic’s six-core CPU (comprised of two efficiency cores and 4 effectivity cores), five-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine be sure that the 14 Professional Max will really feel like a quick and succesful improve from nearly any telephone greater than a 12 months previous, plus 50% extra reminiscence bandwidth, helps gaming experiences with aplomb, whereas the Neural Engine is tailored to chop by picture processing duties carried out by the brand new ‘Photonic Engine’ and anything that ‘s best-served by ML-based (machine studying) processing.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Cameras
For the primary time because the iPhone 6S line, Apple has upped the decision of the its telephone’s primary digital camera; with a brand new 48MP sensor not simply providing extra uncooked pixels to play with, however essentially altering how the iPhone processes pictures and what performance is on provide.
In addition to that primary sensor’s new revised wider 24mm lens (down from 26mm, beforehand), sits a 12-megapixel ultra-wide and 12-megapixel telephoto sensor with 3x optical magnification – as earlier than – together with quad-pixel-binning (from 4 down to at least one) for resultant 12MP stills, to not point out lossless 2x zoom – by sensible cropping on the brand new primary sensor – when wanted.
Taking pictures in ProRAW helps you to seize stills on the primary sensor’s native 48MP decision – if desired, however until you intend to hold out some heavy-duty modifying after seize, the resultant file dimension means it is a characteristic finest used sparingly. The identical is true when capturing (admittedly impressive-looking) 4K ProRes video too, which consumes storage at a relatively alarming price – one minute of footage can fill as much as 6GB of house – which is why, just like the earlier Professionals – the 128GB iPhone 14 Professional and 14 Professional Max solely enable for ProRes seize at as much as Full HD decision.
Storage apart, dealing with these uncooked picture and video recordsdata and dealing with them on-device is, fortunately, mercifully pain-free, because the A16 outputs near-instantaneous rendering when working with such video recordsdata, for instance.

Motion Mode (permits) for gimbal-free super-stable video that ought to have GoPro sweating.
In the event you’re coming from the 13 Professional Max – regardless of the promise of so many new applied sciences – in day-to-day use you won’t instantly spot the variations in digital camera efficiency. Usually, nonetheless, you’ll be able to count on marginally wider dynamic vary, crisper particulars and barely completely different coloration science that pushes coloration temperature extra in a single path or the opposite, relying on the situation, in comparison with pictures from its predecessor.
Such variations are thanks, partly, to the brand new Photonic Engine, which integrates Apple’s Deep Fusion tech earlier on within the processing pipeline – on uncompressed stills – alongside working with extra uncooked picture knowledge, due to the transfer to that bigger and extra pixel-dense primary digital camera sensor.
12 months-on-year, the 12MP ultra-wide delivers sooner and extra correct focusing, whereas the power to squeeze 4 lossless focal ranges out of solely three sensors is a really neat trick that ups this Professional Max’s digital camera versatility credentials past its predecessors too, whereas additionally narrowing the hole in high quality telephoto pictures in comparison with noteworthy generational rivals; just like the Google Pixel 7 Professional and Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely. That stated, a 15x most zoom vary means it nonetheless falls quick for these with a penchant for tele snaps specifically.
Whereas the 14 Professional Max ensures that Apple retains its dominion over smartphone videography (which now consists of Motion Mode, for gimbal-free super-stable video that ought to have GoPro sweating), the 12MP TrueDepth digital camera additionally reminds customers of the corporate’s excellence on the subject of taking selfies.
For the primary time ever, the iPhone’s front-facer lastly good points autofocus, to not point out a wider ƒ/1.9 aperture, which collectively assist with situations like low-light capturing and teams pictures. Portrait mode selfies look higher than ever too, with Apple’s finest edge detection and most natural-looking bokeh but.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Battery life
The great thing about virtually each Professional Max is that they provide glorious battery life, which is simply as true on this newest entry because it was with the 11 Professional Max, three generations prior.
A blended day of use – together with social media, net shopping, gaming, streaming video and digital camera utilization – is not sufficient to stump the 14 Professional Max, not by a protracted shot. 7.5 hours of screen-on time per cost is properly in direction of the highest finish of the present finest and brightest telephones in the marketplace too, equating to as much as two days of use per cost, for these prepared to be a bit extra thought-about with their utilization.
The battery is fractionally smaller than the one discovered contained in the final Professional Max when it comes to mAh and but the improved effectivity of the A16 Bionic clearly wins out, even with the addition of the useful new AOD.
As for recharging, when you will not discover a energy adapter in-box, these already in possession of a appropriate Apple charger ought to be capable to fast-charge the 14 Professional Max to over 50% in half-hour, which is precisely what my testing confirmed.
Utilizing the 30W Apple USB-C adapter that got here with my M1 MacBook Air, the iPhone 14 Professional Max reached 28% cost in quarter-hour and 55% cost in half-hour. 100% took a disproportionately-long 1 hour 52 minutes however the final 15 to twenty minutes solely spent reaching that magic 100%, that means the 14 Professional Max is admittedly able to go for a full day’s use a lot earlier than that.
The arrival of the 14 sequence marks the third-generation of MagSafe for iPhone-compliant equipment, that means the 14 Professional Max can leverage a wealthy ecosystem of appropriate instances, stands, chargers and different additions which have cropped up during the last three years.
Like wired charging speeds, peak wi-fi charging (at 15W) nonetheless sits behind the curve, particularly once you take a look at what corporations like Xiaomi and Oppo provide, however the versatility and availability of first and third-party MagSafe merchandise stands unmatched.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Competitors
As already hinted at all through this evaluation, it ought to come as no shock that the most important and strongest iPhone’s most like-minded rival is… Samsung’s greatest and strongest Galaxy: the Samsung Galaxy S23 Extremely.
Ceramic Defend squares off in opposition to Gorilla Glass Victus 2 (which boasts superior scratch-resistance that may have proved welcome, based mostly on my time with the 14 Professional Max), the Extremely’s show is sharper and helps stylus enter – enabled by the telephone’s built-in S Pen – whereas I believe we’re nonetheless a methods off Apple Pencil help on iPhone. The 14 Professional Max’s show is brighter total, nonetheless.
Each telephones additionally sport a ceiling of 1TB of storage, with the Samsung boasting a bigger 5,000mAh battery (leading to larger longevity) and sooner peak charging, at 45W. There’s additionally the digital camera techniques to think about.
Whereas Apple moved from 12MP to 48MP for the primary Professional iPhone’s digital camera this technology, Samsung traded an already-sizeable 108MP sensor for a brand new 200MP unit; to not point out the S23 Extremely additionally boasts two telephoto lenses (3x and 10x), in addition to a most 100x zoom vary. As such, digital camera versatility clearly goes to the Galaxy, nonetheless, precise picture high quality is way extra comparable, the place private desire often is the deciding issue on this entrance: Apple’s extra pure imagery or Samsung’s extra placing pictures.
In everyday use, you will probably discover each telephones pack in additional than sufficient energy for no matter you throw at them, however numbers place the A16 Bionic forward of the Galaxy’s tailor-made Qualcomm-made Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, which probably renders the iPhone the higher long-term purchase.
iOS additionally serves up extra apps that may higher leverage the facility of the A16 Bionic, in comparison with equal Android experiences accessible to the S23 Extremely, by means of apps like iMovie and the like.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Must you purchase it?

You’ve been wanting an iPhone with an AOD

Images is not your primary motive for purchasing an iPhone
If all you intend on utilizing your iPhone’s digital camera for is posting to Tales and TikTok, the 14 Professional Max’s spectacular triple rear digital camera will probably be overqualified in your wants and end in an pointless overspend.

The 14 Professional Max’s show is an plain triumph, with its distinctive peak brightness, the versatile new Dynamic Island and the expertly-implemented AOD, but when none of that grabs you and also you simply desire a telephone you’ll be able to see within the everyday, loads of different telephones (together with iPhones) will meet your wants for much less.
iPhone 14 Professional Max: Verdict
Maybe extra years than most, the iPhone 14 Professional and 14 Professional Max are the smarter buys of this technology. Positive, they’re pricier however (particularly within the US) no extra so than anticipated, and for the additional money you are getting a big leap when it comes to {hardware} and performance.
In contrast to the 14 and 14 Plus, you get a very revised digital camera system – with that impressive-new 48MP lead sensor, the show’s talent set has taken a big step up – which the 14 Professional Max is especially well-suited to displaying off, and the A16 Bionic chipset affords main good points over the A15 Bionic first seen within the 13 Professional line and now powering the non-Professional fashions of this technology.
There are additionally the range-wide advantages, all of which the 14 Professional Max enjoys, like Emergency SOS through Satellite tv for pc and Crash Detection.
All in all, price-tag allowing, the iPhone 14 Professional Max is the perfect of the sequence so far and a tool true iPhone followers could be pleased with.
