Intro<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2022, Apple will be doing something for the first time: Cupertinians will be releasing a more affordable version of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, called the iPhone 14 Max. This indicates a major shift in Apple’s device policy and a move away from small phones , as there will be no iPhone 14 mini. The iPhone 14 Max is expected to have the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but differ in a few key areas, namely camera count and chipset generation.<\/p>\n

With the arrival of the iPhone 14 Max, Apple will finally allow consumers to get a hold of a fairly affordable but large iPhone. Previously, you could only get that with the ultra-premium iPhone Pro Max model, which surely boasted everything but came with the price tag to match, and the affordable iPhones, like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, simply couldn’t match its enormous size. <\/div>\n

So, which one will prove to be the go-to large iPhone in late 2022? Would the iPhone 14 Pro Max retain the crown, or could it be the iPhone 14 Max that would steal its thunder? Let’s break down all the differences and come up with an expectation, shall we?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max vs iPhone 14 Max in a nutshell:
<\/span><\/p>\n

    Design and Display Quality<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
    Same size, but many differences to expect
    <\/h5>\n
    So far, it seems like the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Max would mostly share the same general design, which in itself is mostly similar to the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. Thus, expect the same new flat design language that got introduced with the iPhone 12-series, with metal frame and glass backs.<\/div>\n

    The big difference here will be in the camera and display departments. True to its nature, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will retain the triple camera setup that got introduced with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Meanwhile, Apple’s super-premium phone will introduce a new, i-shaped notch that will substitute the regular iPhone notch. This would achieve a more futuristic look for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and probably allow iOS to display more status bar icons up there thanks to the newly-reclaimed screen real estate.<\/p>\n

    nwhile, the iPhone 14 Max is certainly remaining a more traditional iPhone device: with a dual camera setup and a traditional notch. Basically, it will be a larger iPhone 14 for all those large display enjoyers.<\/p>\n

    One new aspect that could be common for both devices are their rumored thinner bezels, which could be one major selling point in comparison with the previous iPhone 13 series (not to mention older iPhones). The bezel minimization trend kicked off with the iPhone 12, went strong during the iPhone 13, and it seems that the iPhone 14 Max and Pro Max could give us the thinnest bezels on an iPhone so far.<\/div>\n
    In terms of colors, Apple has always separated its Pro models from the regular ones, and it doesn’t seem like this would change with the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 14 Max will likely be available in the following colors: Midnight, Starlight, Sky Blue, Product RED, and Purple. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro Max could be available in Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Purple.<\/div>\n

    In terms of display, both phones will come with similarly sized, 6.7-inch OLED displays. The main difference will be in the refresh rate of the two different screens. The more affordable phone will arrive with a 60Hz display with a more traditional notch, while the premium model would boast a 120Hz LTPO screen with a new, i-shaped notch. It would facilitate the front camera as well as the Face ID module and allow for some reclamation of screen real estate, that could be used to show more status bar elements.<\/p>\n

    Another important distinct point between the two phones will be always-on display, which is rumored to make an appearance on the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. They would allow for a clockface and other useful information to be displayed on the screen at all times. Apple already does this functionality on the Apple Watch and it makes sense to finally have it on the iPhone. While this functionality doesn’t necessarily require an LTPO display (many Android phones have had it in the past), Apple will likely decide to only use this new feature on the Pro \/ Max versions to further differentiate the premium from the more affordable lot.<\/p>\n

    As mentioned, Face ID will remain the main <\/span>biometric of choice on the iPhone 14 family. Both the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will come with the functionality on deck despite the differences in the notch design.

    Performance and Software<\/span><\/h2>\n
    New chip for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but a well-known unit in the iPhone 14 Max
    <\/h5>\n

    The main difference between the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Max will be the chipset powering each phone. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will get a newer generation Apple A16 Bionic chipset, while the iPhone 14 Max will use last year’s Apple A15 Bionic chip. This will be the first time that Apple differentiates its more premium models with the newer chipset and the affordable bunch with last-year’s processor. <\/p>\n

    Mind you, the Apple A15 is still the best all around mobile chip, so there’s nothing wrong with reusing it another year. Still, many could be irked by Apple’s decision as the company has always used its newest chipset across all of its contemporary devices.
