In previous years the iPhone has undergone a more physical change at least every two years, with the model in between often being an 's' version. Holding the three phones next to each other, the only clear differences come in the shape of that notch or Dynamic Island and the exclusive colours that each year brought (deep purple, Alpine green, Sierra blue and Pacific blue). Slightly unusually for Apple, the design of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has changed very little from the 13 Pro Max, and the 12 Pro Max. (Image credit: Future) iPhone 14 Pro Max review: design It is perhaps the most impressive software solution to a hardware problem I've ever seen and is not only beautifully deployed but is actually useful. This otherwise dead space has been incorporated into the user interface, turning the 'island' into a centre for notifications and alerts, growing and shrinking as required. The housing for the front-facing camera and sensors now forms a pill-shaped cut-out in the display rather than the former notch at the top. The last and perhaps most noticeable change is the new Dynamic Island. The screen also now has an always-on function, much like the Apple Watch, to show the clock and important widgets when in standby mode. The new Super Retina XDR display is brighter than the previous model, providing a peak brightness of 1600 nits (compared to 1200 nits on the 13 Pro Max) in HDR, and a new outdoor mode that boosts it up to 2000 nits. The ultra-wide camera is also new, with a larger sensor and the new Photonic is designed to better process the images. This allows both 48MP images and superior 12MP images by combining four pixels into one. On the rear of the phone, the camera array has seen significant changes with the main camera moving to a new 48MP sensor. For more remote emergencies, the phone is also now able to connect to satellites to send your details and location using the Emergency SOS function. The crash detection uses the phone's sensors to recognise when you are involved in a car crash and automatically contact emergency services. There are new safety features built into the phone to help in emergency situations. Apple's specs don't give any details on the size of the battery but despite the extra life, it is believed to be slightly smaller than the former, at 4,323mAh (though only by 29mAh). Thanks to the more power-efficient chip, the battery life is also longer, giving up to 29 hours of video playback – an hour more than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. This is a new 4nm chip (compared to the 5nm used for the A15 and older) and only features on the new 14 Pro models – the regular iPhone 14 models still use the A15 chip. Like the A15, this runs with a 6-core CPU, a 5-core GPU and a 16-core neutral engine but it's faster and uses less power. Starting on the inside, there's a new A16 Bionic chip. This is because there have been improvements in just about every area. There's a surprising amount to talk about in the new features of the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
