Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is a solid device that builds upon its predecessor's strengths. The most notable improvement is the brighter screen, which provides an enhanced visual experience. Additionally, the camera capabilities have been refined, with two times lossless zoom and autofocus on the selfie camera. The quad-camera setup on the back of the phone produces impressive results, with detailed and sharp photos from all three rear cameras. The ultrawide camera in particular takes some of the best photos from this type of camera, with proficient distortion correction and good sharpness throughout the frame. Portrait mode shots are also excellent, with a natural look and likable rendition. Video recording is equally impressive, with 4K footage at up to 60 FPS from all three rear cameras and the selfie camera. The main camera shoots superb videos with resolved detail and natural rendition, while the telephoto camera produces respectable results.
