Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB 6.7" Space Black EU Mq9p3yc/a

I've had the iPhone 14 Pro Max for six months now, and I can honestly say that it's the best phone I've ever owned. It's big, powerful, and has a great camera. The first thing that I noticed about the iPhone 14 Pro Max was its size. It's a big phone, no doubt about it. But I actually like the size. It makes it easy to see everything on the screen, and it's great for watching videos or playing games. The second thing that I noticed was the power of the A16 Bionic chip. This chip is incredibly fast, and it makes everything from opening apps to playing games feel smooth and responsive. The third thing that I noticed was the camera.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has three cameras on the back, and they all take great photos. The main camera is 48 megapixels, and it takes sharp, clear photos in any lighting condition. The ultrawide camera is great for taking group photos, and the telephoto camera is perfect for taking close-ups. The iPhone 14 Pro Max also has a great battery life. I can easily get a full day of use out of the phone on a single charge. And if I need to, I can always use the MagSafe charger to quickly top it up. Overall, I'm really happy with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It's a great phone with a lot to offer. If you're looking for a powerful, big-screen phone with a great camera, then I highly recommend it. Here are some pros and cons of the iPhone 14 Pro Max: Pros: Big, beautiful display Powerful A16 Bionic chip Great camera system Long battery life Fast charging MagSafe support 5G connectivity Cons: Expensive Large size may not be for everyone No headphone jack No expandable storage

As a user of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, I want to address both its strengths and areas that could be improved. Firstly, the standout features of the iPhone 14 Pro Max lie in its powerful and seamless performance. The A15 Bionic chip and ample RAM provide impressive processing power, ensuring quick responsiveness and smooth multitasking. The Super Retina XDR OLED display is also a highlight, with its high resolution, accurate colors, and good contrast. The camera system on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is also praiseworthy. The shooting modes, such as Night mode and Portrait mode, produce stunning and sharp photos. The 4K video quality is impressive as well, with the ability to capture super slow-motion footage and good image stabilization. However, there are a few points I'd ... MoreAs a user of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, I want to address both its strengths and areas that could be improved.

However, there are a few points I'd like to mention for improvement in the user experience. The battery capacity of the iPhone 14 Pro Max may not meet long-term usage demands, especially when using power-intensive features like gaming or video streaming. Additionally, the price of the device is quite high, which can be a barrier for some consumers. In conclusion, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has commendable strengths in terms of performance, display, and camera capabilities. However, there are still aspects that could be improved, such as battery life and pricing.

An excellent upgrade from my iPhone 12!

I was extremely impressed with the sound quality, camera options, clear video, faster processor, the Pro Max size and battery life.The sound quality on my iPhone 12 had a fake and dull sound for bass and it began to distort when the volume increased. However, with this iPhone 14 Pro Max, the bass blends in very well and the sound clarity is incredible, even when the volume is turned up. There’s no need for a Bluetooth speaker!The camera for taking pictures is clearer than the iPhone 12. The biggest difference I’ve noticed on this 14 Pro Max is all of the options you can do once a picture is taken.Taking videos on this 14 Pro Max literally allows you to zoom in and it’s still clear, just like a movie. Taking videos on my iPhone 12 were grainy if I ever zoomed ... MoreI was extremely impressed with the sound quality, camera options, clear video, faster processor, the Pro Max size and battery life.The sound quality on my iPhone 12 had a fake and dull sound for bass and it began to distort when the volume increased.

Taking videos on my iPhone 12 were grainy if I ever zoomed in. Additionally, you can make numerous changes with lighting, size, effects, length, and many other options to videos after they’re taken on this 14 Pro Max. This is an awesome improvement!The processor is faster, too, allowing no lag time. The occasional lag time flipping between apps on my old iPhone 12 would be annoying.If you buy size Large or Extra Large gloves for the winter or working in the yard, then your hands will have no problem with the larger size of this iPhone 14 Pro Max. The larger screen is great to provide more text messages to be visible at once, great for playing games or watching videos, and other numerous reasons.Lastly, the battery life typically lasts two days. When I’m at work, I don’t use it too much. So, on average, my screen is typically on for about 5 hours a day. I LOVE only having to charge my phone every other day. Such a significant difference from my previous phone.I am very impressed with this iPhone 14 Pro Max, and am thrilled I upgraded.

An honest review… but a worthy one at that!

Frankly I’m a little annoyed by surveys in general. To start I want to be clear and give companies some advice… - You need to BE PATIENT before bombarding customers with a “How are you enjoying your product” survey request because I’ll be honest; you’re NOT giving anyone ample time to enjoy or determine whether or not a phone is right for us! At least wait 90 days before requesting we fill out a survey. I’ve literally only had my phone for about 2 weeks now and I’m still working into the transition from Android to IOS. I’ll admit that an iPhone was not EVER going to be a first choice for me - I’d prefer Motorola over either Apple or Samsung (and Samsung is boycotted in my eyes) so you can see where the default choice lands. I chose iPhone for a professional reason - ... MoreFrankly I’m a little annoyed by surveys in general.

I’ll admit that an iPhone was not EVER going to be a first choice for me - I’d prefer Motorola over either Apple or Samsung (and Samsung is boycotted in my eyes) so you can see where the default choice lands. I chose iPhone for a professional reason - wanting to build my design career and since I have had my iPad for over a year now (and locking myself out once already) I NEEDED a backup device to ensure I didn’t have to go to Geeksquad or The Apple Store to unlock it. Suffice to say, I feel like a moron for giving the iPhone crap all these years. It’s a solid device and you’ll get your money’s worth in the hardware! As an investor of any product, if the worth is valid… go big for the buck and it stands why I went with the 14 Pro Max. It has what I need and for what I haven’t yet learned about my phone already, I’m sure that this device will surprise me down the road with what else it has to offer! Also, I know I am giving only 4 stars but that’s what brings me back to my first point - I’m reviewing a product I still don’t fully know and despite it being worthy of 4 stars… if I was given more time AND NOT RUSHED INTO GIVING MY OPINION… then I might have given that extra star. But this phone and any other phone would be deserving of not meeting a full perfect grade just because “nothing/no one is perfect”. At least this generation of iPhone meets the criteria for functionality and aesthetics to make me NOT regret investing into Apple for the second time in my life!

Best phone since Samsung Galaxy S8+

I’ve owned and used plethora of smartphones in the past 10 years such as the Galaxy S3, S5, S8+, S20FE 5G, iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, my favorite phone till now was my Galaxy S8+. Unfortunately, the iPhone 12 Pro only lasted less than a year; it was one of the two most problematic phones I ever had within the past 2 years, where Apple technical support was involved. I never had preordered a phone before and this was a first for many; also a first for costing way over $1000. Within hours of owning this device I was already recommending this to my friends, as my colleges and supervisor already ordered theirs.Apple has outdone Samsung on this phone, even though it took them ages on getting certain features that were on my Galaxy S8+, but done so ... MoreI’ve owned and used plethora of smartphones in the past 10 years such as the Galaxy S3, S5, S8+, S20FE 5G, iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy Z Flip 3.

I never had preordered a phone before and this was a first for many; also a first for costing way over $1000. Within hours of owning this device I was already recommending this to my friends, as my colleges and supervisor already ordered theirs.Apple has outdone Samsung on this phone, even though it took them ages on getting certain features that were on my Galaxy S8+, but done so perfectly. The iPhone 14 Pro Max does feel more premium than the regular iPhone 12 Pro, and this device blows everything out the water in my opinion. It just didn’t made sense to spend $1000+ on the Galaxy lineup when they only have internal storage and lacked expandable storage, and just didn’t feel as premium as a $1000+ device should be.Compared to the 12 Pro, this is very snappy and quick. Display is way better. Camera definitely blows the 12 Pro out of the water when compared. The Dynamic Island just blends in perfectly unlike the notch of the 12 Pro (couldn’t watch anything in full screen). Battery life is significant as it should last me more than the normal working day for me.

Decent But Still Marginal differences from the iPhone 12 Pro Max

As the title states, there are some dramatic improvements in things like battery life, higher reactivity with the slightly improved processor. The refresh rate is a nice jump from the standard 60 FPS, making scrolling, reading, etc. feel much more fluid. Be warned there are some caveats to the limitations of the software, (for now) but they should be ironed out and minimized as problems after some more updates.Dynamic island is useful, but seems relatively gimmicky, considering the lack of support/minimalistic support for many apps, I also say the “Island” is more obstructive than the older notch… but that may just be something I have to adjust to.In terms of camera quality? The improvements are there, but relatively marginal. It still looks like your 12 ... MoreAs the title states, there are some dramatic improvements in things like battery life, higher reactivity with the slightly improved processor.

The improvements are there, but relatively marginal. It still looks like your 12 megapixel alternates, but at least on the main camera, you can zoom in approximately 2x as much with equivalent detail to the older phones. Color accuracy/contrast seems better, and less lens flaring seems present in the new models… I noticed no difference in the ability for nighttime photography, which is actually one of the improvements I was really hoping for, but alas, doesn’t seem to be in the hardware’s range of ability.Would I recommend over the 13 Series? Absolutely not… the improvements just going from the 12 Series are “fair enough” but not breathtaking or surprising in anyway…If you want a classic iPhone experience? Maybe the 8 to 12% improvement might be worth it for you, but the only real improvement is the battery life and the main camera at 1x or 2X zoom.

Does not disappoint. Although a couple issues to note.

Upgraded from an iPhone 11 Pro Max and I am not disappointed. This phone handles any task with ease and takes wonderful photos that are beyond my skill to take. The phone is heavier than the 11 pro max, but in a positive way that speaks more on the quality of the materials. The phone charges quickly and keeps battery all day long. The phone seems large at first but is easy to adapt to when daily driving.The negative points on this phone would have to be the new “E-Sim” addition, and the heat the phone generates while charging. My calls would continuously drop the first week of owning despite being in a 5G area with sufficient coverage. I spend approximately 2 days with customer service sorting out the issue which ended up seeming like luck and a gauntlet of ... MoreUpgraded from an iPhone 11 Pro Max and I am not disappointed.

I spend approximately 2 days with customer service sorting out the issue which ended up seeming like luck and a gauntlet of network resets to get it working properly. Never had this issue with traditional SIM card phones. The phone will get very hot when it charges, to the point where it can be uncomfortable to handle. I am not sensitive to heat having worked in the automotive and fast food industry in the past. The excessive heat this phone generates will occur regardless of the charging method (traditional cable, MagSafe). If you sleep with your phone plugged in and in your bed I would advise against it. It’s no doubt caused by the fast charging capability of the phone but I have owned many fast charge devices which did not get this hot. I’ve been told as long as your phone does not give you a temperature warning that it is fine, however I wish there was a way to disable fast charging.Despite the negative experiences with this phone I fully recommend it as I feel it is worth the money.

I finally have the coveted blue bubble!

I'll be honest- I have been an Android user for over a decade. I always found better features at a better price in the Android space, plus the Samsung phone cameras were better IMO than the Apple ones in the same price point. But turns out iOS makes you 76 percent more attractive to women (it's science-look it up), and if you are texting an iPhone user from an Android phone, your messages are green which is apparently hideous. So now my message bubbles are blue and I'm getting a lot more dates. Oh, this gets 4 stars because when I got the new phone, I could not send pictures over text messages to Android users, nor would any group messaging work if anyone in the group had an Android. I made sure all of my settings were enabled for Messages to ensure that Group ... MoreI'll be honest- I have been an Android user for over a decade.

I made sure all of my settings were enabled for Messages to ensure that Group Messaging and Use SMS if iMessage was unavailable, but still couldn't get things to work. I finally had to contact Verizon and they made some kind of change to my "network settings" that would allow my new iPhone to communicate properly via text with those schlubs still using Android. The phone has some nice features, like the memoji face tracking, Air Drop, and a few other iOS specific things. Some things are still clunky to me, like attaching images in messages, keyboard settings, widgets on the home screen that don't respect the settings I configure, etc... I'm sure after time I'll get more comfortable with it, but let's be real- that's not why I got the phone. I got the phone because of the pressure to be cool, and being on Android is for dweebs.

Maybe Skip This One

I’ve had every iPhone starting from a lovely iPhone 4 in white. Once Apple started production of their “plus” and “Max” models, I switched to those because who doesn’t love more screen, and if you’re going for a new one, why not get one with all the bells and whistles. After switching from the 11 pro max to the 12 pro max, there was regret. There wasn’t much difference in my opinion. When the 13 Pro Max was announced and shown, i thought “ well, a change in the screen, it must have many differences from the 12 “… yes they come up with a “ faster chip “ with each model, but truth be told, the only difference I see, is the large notch that doesn’t really give you more screen. The gap between the notch and edge is very thin, so the purpose in all actuality is none at ... MoreI’ve had every iPhone starting from a lovely iPhone 4 in white.

The gap between the notch and edge is very thin, so the purpose in all actuality is none at all. The performance is the same, I play Diablo immortal and the performance settings for the game will not let me go any higher than the 12 model. Apples M1 chip and M2 chip are supposed to be night and day in their macs, but the chips in the phone, feel like a twin. One thing I have noticed since the 11 pro max which had wonderful battery life, is the 13 pro max, drains much much faster, and I’m I light user. I only game on occasion. When comparing the 12 pro max reception to the 13 Pro Max, there is a noticeable latency due to what I’m guessing is the fact that there is no longer a physical sim, but i could be wrong. My cases from my 12 fit perfectly. I will admit that they did move the camera area over a little, so some of my cases do cover a sliver of the raised camera area, but not nearly enough to affect the flashlight or the multiple cameras performance. Lastly, the one thing that is bothersome between the pro max models and the regular standards, is the options of color. You would think, I always hope, that if you’re paying for the top of the line model, then customization would be equivalent to the cheaper availabilities. With all that being sad. If you’re in an 11 or 12, save that upgrade for when Apple decides to do a full noticeable upscale. There are androids that have the front facing camera built in under the screen where you can’t even see it, giving you 100% screen availability, and fingerprint readers built into the screen or on the power button. Had Apple really amped up the performance without the battery drainage and gotten with 2022 where they could take some excellent pointers from some android features, my review would more than likely be much more favorable.

Wow! I had no idea Pixel phones sucked so hard compared to iPhones

My wife and I have been on Android Pixel A-series phones for years, but finally (for a variety of reasons) decided to switch. Mostly it was unreliability of the Pixels, and how their vaunted camera performance didn’t really exist in a real world context. I can’t tell you how often I’d be taking pictures or video inside, in a 70 degree environment, and the Pixel would report that it was too hot and that it had turned off the flash and degraded video performance. So videos would be jerky, and I’d frequently miss the photo I was shooting for because of these poor performance issues. Plus we had issues reliably receiving calls, and other strangeness. On the whole they were relatively cheap unlocked, but man did it come with trade offs. So when the rest of our families ... MoreMy wife and I have been on Android Pixel A-series phones for years, but finally (for a variety of reasons) decided to switch.

And we set ourselves up for success by getting the top-of-the-line, and WOW. We are blown away. We had no idea smartphone life could be so good. I’m almost embarrassed at how many years I spent advocating for Pixels. I just had no idea iPhones were this good. The camera is astonishing, even in real world use conditions, and the battery life is sweet, and almost everything is so so sooooo easy. I’m very impressed with how well constructed the whole Apple ecosystem is. It’s light years ahead of how janky everything Android, even vanilla Pixel, is. So everything is pretty awesome, but there’s still room for refinement and improvement. Apple could improve the typing experience on the iPhone keyboard. They could improve Siri. But…uh… that’s about all I can think of right now. I’m beyond impressed right now. Now I’m just curious to see how well these phones perform in six months, a year, two years…
