When I picked up the iPhone 14 Pro Max for this review I noticed two things immediately. The first is that the notch has been replaced by a pill-shaped cutout (more on the Dynamic Island below), and the second is that the camera bump is even bigger. All three camera lenses on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro Max are larger, as is the flash, so this ar...

Now this is innovative. Apple didn’t just shrink the iPhone’s notch and move it down; it found a way to make this area useful and even fun. In addition to housing the TrueDepth camera, the Dynamic Island acts like a mini dashboard, providing access to the info you need no matter what app you’re in. If you open up Apple Music or Spotify, for example...

Apple is definitely playing catch-up with Android phones when it comes to the iPhone 14 Pro’s new always-on display, and yet Apple’s implementation delivers a more robust experience — if you’re willing to take the time to set it up. Because the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s display refresh rate can scale all the way down to 1Hz, Apple designed its AOD to ess...

Apple has shaken things up with its cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, offering a 48MP main wide sensor for the first time. By default, the sensor will group every four pixels in a quad-pixel and optimize for better light capture in 12MP photos. But you can go 48MP in Pro RAW mode if you want the most detail possible, which is ideal for cropping in....

There are two major upgrades with the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s video capture. The first is Action mode, and the second is bumped-up 4K resolution in Cinema Mode. With Action mode, you just toggle a button in the camera app when recording to smooth out the action. This especially comes in handy when both the shooter and subject are in motion. To test out...

The iPhone 14 Pro Max’s A16 Bionic is Apple’s first chip built using the 4-nanometer process, and it’s once again the fastest chip in a phone. The CPU is rated to be only 10% faster than the A15 Bionic, but it offers 50% more memory bandwidth, which aids gameplay. In my testing, I found the iPhone 14 Pro Max wonderfully responsive whether I was bou...

Thanks in part to the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s more efficient chip, the iPhone 14 Pro Max lasted a very long time on the Tom’s Guide battery test. We’re talking an average of 13 hours and 39 minutes. This is good enough for the iPhone 14 Pro Max to vault near the top our best phone battery lifelist. For more check out our iPhone 14 battery life testedro...

Later this fall, Apple will launch two key safety features for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The first is Emergency SOS via satellite, which combines new antennas and software to connect to satellites when you can’t get a cellular or Wi-Fi signal. You’ll then get help from emergency services to your location. The second safety feature is Crash Detection, ...

The iPhone 14 Pro Max runs iOS 16 by default, and there’s a lot to like in this new software update. You can customize the lock screen with widgets, photos and more, and what you choose will also show up on your always-on display. Other highlights include the ability to unsend texts and edit them, a replacement for passwords called Passkeys, a new ...
