iPhone 14 Pro Max Re-Review | Nine Months Later...

Reviewing Apple's iPhone 14 Pro Max after long term use, to see how the camera tech, gaming, battery life etc compares vs the Pixel 7 Pro, Samsung S23 Ultra and more. The iPhone 14 Pro Max still costs from £1200 in the UK, so it's one of the most expensive smartphones despite its age.

However, Apple's slab is still one of the best for video capture, even if the camera isn't as dependable in softer light. The Galaxy S23 Ultra trumps the iPhone 14 Pro Max for night photography, as does the Pixel 7 Pro and Xiaomi's super-priced phones.

Another highlight is the battery life. This brick can keep going all day even with heavy use, including lots of camera play and a bit of gaming. Again, the Samsung S23 Ultra is a close rival, but not many Android flagship smartphones are this good. Shame about the iPhone 14 Pro Max's charging speeds then.

Media fans will love the crisp and bold display, minus the silly 'dynamic island' shenanigans, plus that loud and crisp stereo speaker setup. Apple's iOS16 is something I don't get on with, but plenty of people out there prefer it to Android, so it's all down to personal taste.

That's what I think of the iPhone 14 Pro Max in 2023, ahead of the iPhone 15 launch in September. Have you been enjoying your almighty Apple blower? Definitely let us know your thoughts below, and whether you think the Pro Max is a solid alternative to the S23 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro!

I have the 14 pro max for just about 4.5months. The size does not bother me much as I come from a samsung note 9 which is pretty much the same size. For my usage the battery life has been amazing. And the dynamic island has not been a big issue, yeah its not nicest thing ever but i dont mind it much. For me it was a absolute perfect phone so far. I chose the 256gb version as with my experience 128gb is just not enough especially if i want to record high resolution videos. Charging speeds dont really bother me as if i really need it the fast charging is enough for me as i only use it when I really need it in the morning where i usually have 30to45min which is more than enough to charge it from 40% to well into the 85+% which is plenty for me as i have plenty of charging options always as i always cary a external charger if i have to leave my home or office for longer than 4hours

The iPhone 14 Pro Max has been solid for me so far. I have my usual iOS annoyances, but that battery life is really what shines for me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[coudyyyy]

I’ve had my iPhone 14 Pro Max for about 4 months now I upgraded from the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 14 pro max and I’m actually really loving it so far battery life is definitely a big upgrade for me and from switching from the S21 ultra back to IOS is honestly so much better for me I missed it and im glad im back in the apple ecosystem

[tareraww]

Hey Uncle Spurt, where can I get the anime wallpapers you use. Please reply I've been searching for so long 😢 .

[dariodjukic]

Take the 14 pro or the pro max, the only dilemma is the battery, can the pro push through the whole day or is it safer to take the pro max (I'm leaning towards the pro model because of the looks, but the pro max because of the battery)

[Dustyphoto]

Just upgraded from a Xs max I had for almost five years. It’s better than that. The sound out of the speakers and camera alone are a major upgrade.

that uterus joke in the beginning 🤣 ur sense of humour is just☠️☠️

[nikkinorton]

Loved the analogy that iOS is Care Bear and android is five nights at Freddie’s, hilarious!

[uberbrainbox]

I struggle with iOS and being tied into a seemingly greedy bar steward ecosystem where you get shafted for even the simplest, things like a charging cable. Like you, I love the Lidar face unlock and reckon that's as good (if not the best) as anything on the market). Another simple thing I love is the power button feel. The phones do feel like premium products (as you'd expect at their silly prices) even if they're unwieldy, but hate iOS's limitations.

I juggle between Nova Launcher 8 (Beta), Smart Launcher, Niagara Launcher and Microsoft Launcher on Android phones. Nova Launcher and its custom gestures on a Pixel are revolutionary and a game changer. Despite all the weaknesses and irritations of the Pixel, it's harder and harder to switch back to a non-gesture controlled phone, whether it's the clumsy iOS or another Android.

Love your no-nonsense reviews.

Watching this on my iPhone 14 pro! I went with the 1TB storage and the gold version. I found that the max was just too big to hold for me personally! Absolutely love the 14 pro as came from a IPhone XS
