Finally someone gave justice to the silver color! I pre-ordered the silver iPhone 14 pro max and everybody was asking me why you did not get the new black or purple? Personally I find the white/silver combination a timeless sleek option that reflects the authentic identity of Apple products.

I feel your one of the few tech KZfaqrs who don’t recommend “overkill” upgrades with no reasons! Really appreciate that! 128gb is plenty for me, as a creator and heavy user

Just got my 14 max pro. Love it. I do notice the recording camera on the back is a bit off and jittery. The front doesn’t do it. Hopefully it gets fixed via software update. Came from the iPhone 12 Pro which was my favorite phone of all time. Really enjoyed it. Can’t wait for the USB C joint that hopefully is already in the works. But until then I don’t plan on upgrading.

I'm still rocking an iPhone 7, I decided its finally time for an upgrade so just ordered an iPhone 14 Pro Max Purple 1TB. Cant wait for it to arrive. Will be a massive upgrade.

I love dynamic island and I love noticing it too. More so than I did the smaller notch of the 13.

As always, brilliant video review Gary. I bought the iPhone 13 Pro last year, so won’t be upgrading this time. I might be interested next year…depending what Apple conjure up. Let’s see. Keeping on keeping on my friend, you make great videos.

AWSOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS

I agree with most of what you say, with one exception. The battery life in my opinion has been drastically diminished. I had the 13 pro max which easily lasted me 2 days. The 14 pro max I’m noticing a full day with between 10-15% battery life left over. I’ve checked battery health and all looks normal. I really hope Apple fixes this with a software update.

This should be an interesting subject again in about 3 months.

Thank u for explaining the camera stuff haha. I always get lost

Great video. Apple’s said many times their internal numbers show users update iPhones mainly every 3 years. Nice to not need to sit through an entire review comparing it to last year’s phone, which probably relates to 5% of users. I find the Dynamic Island is as easy to ignore in it’s “pill” form as the Notch or newly christened “Static Peninsula”. Years of ignoring the unchanging area is so strongly ingrained, I only see it when it starts moving. So, it works as intended with me.

How do you have over 89,000 unread e-mails? Lol.

I’m on day 5 with my 14 pro (not max; I don’t like massive screens) and the largest area I’ve noticed improvements seems to be more complex camera shot speeds. Taking a shot at night looks less blurry and is quicker on the shutter which I really do appreciate since we have tiny kids that move around constantly. Also the HDR seems improved and I don’t know if that’s due to the improved image signal processor or maybe just software, but colors do look a little more rich without that weird ‘halo effect/FALD bloom’ being AS noticeable. Also you’re right about the 2k nits of peak brightness. That is seriously awesome during the brightest points in the day!

Dang, 89,000 + emails. lol

I love my new Purple… only weird thing I have is knowing the dynamic island is there but muscle memory has me keep scrolling down from top right to get to control panel to access music playing 🤦🏼‍♂️😂😂

im set for the 14 pro max whenever they fix the camera issues. i havent had the max variant since the XS max, and i remember it being too big, but im gonna try it again cuz i watch alot of videos and play alot of games

I knew i subbed to the right channel. I didnt know you liked mobile suits!

For iPhone I would go Pro, or Pro MAX for the OLED display which is why I moved to the iPhone 11 Pro. Nice to be able to see the screen when I am out walking around, and in sunlight. When it comes to eSIM I am going to have to check with my carrier to see how this would work for me if I need to move to a backup iPhone. A few years back I dropped, and killed my iPhone to a point it would not power up. I was lucky in that I still had my previous iPhone so all I did was pop out the SIM, and move it to my old iPhone. I was back up and running until I could get my newer iPhone repaired. Need to see how hard this is going to be if I have a new iPhone that only supports eSIM. Is there a KISS way to move my phone number/eSIM to a backup iPhone? After some review it is looking like I may be moving away from the iPhone product line if I can not purchase one with a SIM card tray. Looking like no easy way to move from device to another device should it die. This is a deal breaker. At least I am going to get a USB type C port. For now sticking with my iPhone 11 Pro with A13 154.9 GFLOPS supercomputer in my pocket until Apple comes out with an iPhone that has SIM tray, and a USB Type C connector that I hope is either USB4 40, or USB4 80.

Ooh nice Rx-78 & Zaku cameos!

Silver is a great color it’s so classic and beautiful

The first “FOOO” video 😂😂

Love the t-shirt 👍🏻

Seeing all the unread emails that you have just gave me such a head rush!

I have a Mate 20 that I bought new 3 years ago and it's been years since I owned an iPhone (I used to have iPhone 6 plus). I'm going back and forth between the 14 Pro Max and the regular Plus model. While the difference is $200 in price, you actually get more with the Pro Max variant this year. A16, better camera, better refresh rate, better etc... At one side I feel I should get the plus model since it's going to cover all my needs and other side I want to go all out and get the latest and greatest Pro Max model since I'm not going to upgrade for at least 4 years from now.

Well said. I have the 11 pro max and I already ordered my 14 pro max but I won't see it til about the end of october, maybe sooner. I want to try out those new cameras because I use my current iphone a lot for videos and pics.

Almost have my 11 Pro Max 256GB paid off and I think I’m going to hold off on upgrading for now. Kinda only want a 14 PM just for the sake of getting something “new”.

I really like this phone. I got the deep purple pro max and for the first time on any phone I bought a glass screen protector and going to get the sapphire one when it launches and got a defender case because I can see myself using this phone for the next two or three years.

the Pro 14 series reminds me a bit of the 12, in that there were a lot of camera "imporvments" that didnt really go down well and the Pro 13 fixed.

I love your channel 😊 and i’m a fan of the office 😂 Greetings from morocco 🇲🇦 🎉

I’m rocking space black 14 pro max!!

When you get the 14 Plus, please provide a comparison of the speakers to those of the 14 Pro Max. This is under-reported and is helpful information. Thx!

The brightness slider goes manually only to 850 Nits not more. Only if you are using the auto brightness and the sun shines directly onto the screen, then the screen will go up to 2000 Nits. So that "flashbang" that you got in the night time, do you also get on the 13 Pro and 12 Pro.

Thx the silver be really fresh

You sold me on it!!!!

Upgrading from iphone 11 cannot wait 😀

I love my iPhone 14 pro in gold with 128gb. Massive upgrade compared to my iPhone 11.

HOW ARE THE SPEAKERS!? Are they lil louder crispyer than the 13 pro max?

I was gonna upgrade from my 11 to the 13 pro max this year but seeing the "dynamic island" makes me want to get the 14 pro max. although ive seen a fair bit of critical reviews about the night mode shutter speeds. since the 14 pros now require less "hold still" time, the photos are often way way sharper than required or way too over saturated. this is the only thing im a bit unsure about.

Respect for your objective review. I got a Pro max 13 blue sierra (imo the most beautiful phone ever made!). And apple really had to come with some revolutionary phone, for me to switch after 1 year. No, I’m sticking to my 13, keep on updating and waits for the 15 or 16.

Since I own an iPad Pro(newest) but a OnePlus 8 Pro...for me yes I already ordered 14PM

Space black is clearly the best choice 😁

Did he… did he just reference Bachelor in Paradise… I love this guy.

Will 128g storage limit your video’s of 4k prores video at 30fps. Only 1080p

I think … you are right about the Island . It doesn’t really mininize the perceived distraction of the physical notch from previous models but actually introduces a new distraction that our brains need adjusting to …

The AOD should have a simple option to just black-out everything and show just the clock/date/apps with notification, not everything. This way almost all the screen will be off - and that could help since I saw in a video here that the AOD uses ~1% per hour, which is visible if you don't use your phone actively so much and stays more in standby where the AOD will be the difference.

Hey.. why does apple sell an iphone 13 for 600eur but in our country its still 900? Will the prices lower down?

I have trouble swiping above the Dynamic Island. A majority of the time when trying to bring the Notification Center down, it activates the island instead. It’s rather annoying when trying to see notifications.

I bought the 13pro max last year and will get the 14 plus this year

What about upgrading from 12 pro to this 14 pro Max

i have a iphone xs max, would you suggest upgrading to the 14 pro max?

one thing you didn't mention when it comes to upgrading is the pro motion display which is a huge quality of life upgrade for anyone who has a 12 or lower.

Just ordered the 14 Pro Max 1TB.

I want the gold 14 pro. Getting me one for Christmas

I have a iPhone 13, im gonna upgrade anyway, would u recommend the 13 Pro or the 14 Pro?

6:19 this is so insightful and true - with my old iphone xr i never even realise the notch after a week. with the new iphone 14 pro, i keep getting REMINDED there's a notch. the actual "dynamic island" is in the worst possible physical location (TOP of the phone), on a super heavy phone, such that reach UP to it is just a horrible user experience. remember when Apple made the safari address bar from the TOP to the BOTTOM for better "user experience" for easier reachability? Well, they undone all that. That's the problem with apple now, the inconsistency, the contradictions. I am not a fan of the "dynamic island" and overall speaking the iphone 14 pro has been a disappointment (with the many failed ios16 bugs, as well as the well documented camera flicker issue both noise wise and mechanically). Not what I would expect from a $1100 base price phone, end of story.

i’ve had the phone for a few days now… i personally have the always on display always off I don’t like how bright it is when my phone is just on my desk and i don’t seem to really use it anyways.

I saw the 14pro and was like I want it but I’ve only had my 11 for 14 months. Maybe I will get the 15 or 16

My guy you have almost 90,000 emails. Someone really misses you! Lol.

Will upgrade when they add type-c support..

iOS 16 is fire 🔥

Silver is by far the most beutifull color and im Happy with my choice

Silver the least picked colour, have a think

Iphone 14 pro max 128GB has support 8k video recording?

89801 unread emails…… I can’t cope… my OCD would not allow this!!!!

I'm going to keep my 13 Pro Max and wait for the 15 Pro Max. I REALLY hope it comes with a USB C charging port. Quite frankly I think it's absurd the 14 series didn't.

When will we see the 13 pro max in the Apple refurb store?

What apple case color is this please ?

very interesting, BUT, what is going on with all those unread emails????? LOL

how do you run with this thing on you its huge! so unwieldy... I think ill return it lol...

I like the gold one. A snake in your house??? Oh my, USA is wild :o

Can you select ProRaw on the 128GB version? I heard somewhere that its only available on the 256GB and up

I don’t really need or want to pay for a 14 pro max, but I can’t find an unlocked 13 pro max anywhere. Anyone able to help?

I upgraded from a pacific blue 12 Pro to a silver 14 Pro because I wanted a new color. Lol.

2.099 Euros for 1 TB in Germany … That hurts SO much!

Should i upgrade from 12pro max or just wait for the 15? Would apple change design like bigger screens? Its already a 3yr cycle on design.

Have you had any issues with the iPhone 14 series having battery issues I’ve been hearing the 14 series has had a lot of issues I lost my bottle and cancelled my order it’s to risky when I have the 13 pro max. Once I buy the new phone I’m stuck with it as the 13 pro max would’ve gone on trade in.

Okay 👍

Dang 80,000 emails!

i have an unboxing of my white 13 pro max on my channel! i plan on upgrading to next year's iPhone. great vid!

Tossing a flash grenade

you talked about the 2000 nits of brightness as if it can be achievable manually.

I feel that apple (and other phone companies) need to stop coming out with a new model every year. Innovation has slowed in recent years and "new" features are being added just because. I have a 13 pro max, and while I love the phone and don't plan on upgrading, I have a harder time enjoying it knowing there's something better with more features out there. And even as the 14 models just came out there are already iPhone 15 rumours coming out, it just doesn't stop. We spend so much time getting excited about what's next that it doesn't give us time to enjoy what's already here.

Buying the iphone pro max 14

Ok well I switched from android to Apple and got the 14 pro max. I actually live this phone and glad that u switched operating systems. 9:18

I'm using iPhone 5s, should I upgrade to iPhone 14 Pro Max?

I just received my 14 Pro Max today and the first thing I did was turn off the AOD 😅

I have a 12mini. It’s time for an upgrade. Especially in the battery department.🥴

There is a warning on all Samsung and google android phones that say the always on display will burn a bit more battery, comes with the territory of having a an always on display. So you can expect to burn a little more battery but it’s not a deal breaker by no means.

Had the 13 pro max and just received the 14 pro max today. It’s literally the same phone 😂

Space black is the right color

Take that notch-obsessed people 😊

About the brightness: You can’t manually turn 2000 nits by using the slider.

I have one question if I may - how on earth do you manage 89,000 emails?!?

Casually talk about finding a snake in the back yard I'd be mortified

I currently have the normal iphone 13 and not the pro or pro max version. I am trying to figure out if moving to the Iphone 14 pro max would be worth the upgrade....

I have 12 pro max in silver i want 14 pro max in black

For me, I’ll be buying the 14 pro, 256 or 512 idk yet and either the purple or black version. Reply to me and I’ll se which color I’ll pick.

👍

I love how talks about the snake and moves in with his life. Imagine seeing a snake and saying: “oh, let me take out my iPhone 14 pro max to take a picture of this snake instead of doing something about it.” Jk I love ur videos very much, keep up the good work ❤

It's great 🔥💯
