As a tech reviewer I test and use many different phones but there’s one I keep coming back to, and for the past 6 months that has been the iPhone 14 Pro Max. To me the 14 Pro Max is a phone that delivers in each of the key areas of a smartphone is a way that no other phone does. There really is a lot to like, but still this phone is also not perfect. Today I will share with my long term experience with the 14 Pro Max, covering everything you need to know!

Been using the pro max since a few months now and i love it. I think a lot of reviewers exaggerate the size/weight thing. Yes, its big and heavy, but its not problematic at all, at least for me. I can still type a whatsapp message with one hand ... Battery life is stellar, and i love the fluidity and quality of the screen.

[JimKanaris]

I have to agree. This phone is just awesome. I'm coming to it from a Note20U, which was also a great phone. iPhone, however, is simply a pleasure to use. I have no real complaints beyond what's noted here--mostly software related. C'mon, Apple! Give us Pro-Max users at least multitasking!!

I’d choose 14 pro: The size it’s just RIGHT. It feels really confortable in hand, and looks minimal, compact, elegant

[bettercurly]

Another great and interesting review! Really awesome phone and I choose iPhone because of its camera and usability. It’s easy to navigate. The camera and output are already good for posting/printing. 😎

Dion thank you for your honest and informative take on your six months of the apple iPhone 14 promax. I have been out of the ecosystem for 7 years. The picture and camera quality have far excelled it's last 6 iPhones. I think it is awesomely amazing when it comes to photography. The videos side by side other current smart phones to date. I am coming from an Samsung 22 ultra where they are playing the low game and second fiddle to the iPhone. I could not believe the amazement this has done for me as a comeback 📲 user. Have your heard of magbak ecosystem? The appear to be very strong for protection and and very minimalistic appearance. It even stacks up pretty high in rate along side the outterbox cases. Something to consider for your next case. 🎉keep up the great work. Show us more!

I just bought mine earlier today! I’m upgrading from the XR so I’m super excited to have a bigger and better phone

[UHDGamers-rexj]

I love my 14PM it’s the first brand new apple phone I have ever owned and the second iPhone I have owned in total. I honestly can’t see myself going back to android phones. Cameras mean nothing to me as a professional photographer using full frame cameras. But the screen, speed, ecosystem, support from Apple made me fall for Apple. Now I’m using the Apple Watch ultra, iPad Air 5 and AirPods and obviously my 14PM.

I have smallish hands & it’s easy to reach the top just hold it one handed but sort of cup/lean it towards inside your palm & bam can reach top corners with one hand

[denis]

I’m using both, Samsung S 23 ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max. There is nothing on the iPhone 14 pro max. What Samsung galaxy S 23 ultra doesn’t do better, except only video. Video is still better on iPhone, but the margin is much smaller.

Nice review, i have the 14 Pro Max (512GB) in deep purple which I’ve had for almost 6 months now and I love it, the camera is great and the video quality is incredible with battery life while very good, I don’t think it’s quite as good as my old 11 Pro Max and my battery health is still at 100%, but I think that’s more to do with iOS 16, again, great review.

I love how they change the call grill to where it’s more preventable getting clogged up.

Also you can enable one handed texting in keyboard options.

[MotlatsiMohatle]

Bigger phones are better to be honest. 14 Pro max definitely feels like you are holding a technological beast in your hands.🙌🏽

@arsalkashiff
The 14 Pro fits small hands better and is overall more compact and easily fits in small areas.
(edit) even though it has its cut downs I think with the MoFT MagSafe charger the pro is equally as good and you save some money.

I just bought iPhone 13, 1.5 months back and the battery health is already 97%. I don't understand the reason, and how to prevent the battery health from decreasing any further?

[duranburnett]

Upgraded from Iphone X, Honestly the phone is amazing

[justincase]

Have it since release day. What can I say? It’s probably the best all-around smartphone outthere. The average Joe got way more than he needs in daily life in top notch quality. It is as it always is, in the end nothing beats an iPhone.

[CiroDiMaRzio]

De 14 pro is mijn eerste iphone sinds de Iphone 7 en wat een upgrade maar ondanks dat de telefoon echt super is. Vind ik de IOS 16 niet heel denderend in zowel performance als batterij leven. Hij is uiteraard smooth maar vond de voorgaande IOS versies smoother en meer batterij vriendelijker, ik kan bijv. mijn 14 pro niet de hele dag gebruiken zonder tussendoor op te laden waarbij ik dat wel kon met mijn Iphone 7. Uiteraard zijn de chips/scherm beter geworden en zullen uiteraard daardoor ook meer verbruiken. Maar toch had ik een betere batterij prestatie verwacht van de 14 pro.

[judybonard]

Excellent video. Will be buying this phone in late September. Info was very helpful.

[laceesyt]

ive always used android phones but im thinking about switching to iphone if i do which iphone should i get? I don't really use my camera that much so its not important to me how good the camera is
