I&#8217;ve bought every new iPhone since I made the switch from a BlackBerry to the iPhone 4S.<\/p>\n<p>This year has been no exception.  I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max, 256 GB, in Silver, the day after it was released on September 17. I got $640 back by trading in my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but I still had to pay $780.<\/p>\n<p>After a couple of weeks of playing with my new toy, I can confidently say there are no big surprises to be found, apart from the &#8220;Dynamic Island&#8221;.  That&#8217;s Apple&#8217;s fancy name for the dead space between the selfie camera and Face ID sensor now used for &#8220;consolidating your notifications, alerts, and activities into one interactive place&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>My colleague Antonio Villas-Boas can tell you all about the technical aspects of Apple&#8217;s latest products, so I will concentrate on what it&#8217;s been like to use.<\/p>\n<h2>Steve Jobs&#8217; daughter was right<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, Eve Jobs, the daughter of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, was right when she a meme on Instagram that joked the iPhone 14 is eerily similar to the previous model.<\/p>\n<p>It reads: &#8220;Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after Apple&#8217;s announcement today,&#8221; while showing a man holding up a shirt identical to the one he&#8217;s wearing.<\/p>\n<p>While the newest series of smartphones has several new software features, I&#8217;m disappointed that there isn&#8217;t more to it. <\/p>\n<p>I admit I was very excited about the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max going fullscreen \u2013 especially now the notch has gone.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also concede that the Dynamic Island feature is very cool indeed.  I like that you can simply press it when listening to music and it takes you back to the application.  It could have been used more effectively, however. <\/p>\n<p>Having the iPhone 13 Pro Max, I can&#8217;t see a difference that makes it actually worth upgrading for, apart from Dynamic Island.  Maybe the smartphone has simply got as good as it&#8217;s fundamentally going to get?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"figure image-figure-image   \" data-type=\"img\" data-e2e-name=\"image-figure-image\" data-media-container=\"image\">\n<div class=\"lazy-holder \" style=\"padding-top: calc(100% * 2160 \/ 2880)\">\n<p>                        <img xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"lazy-image \" encoding=\"UTF-8\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" data-content-type=\"image\/jpeg\" srcs=\"{&quot;https:\/\/i.insider.com\/63345b23ed5b4f00183b960e&quot;:{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;,&quot;aspectRatioW&quot;:2880,&quot;aspectRatioH&quot;:2160}}\" alt=\"The Apple iPhone 14 Pro.\"\/>\n                      <\/div>\n<p>                        <span class=\"image-source-caption undefined\"><figcaption class=\"image-caption headline-bold\" data-e2e-name=\"image-caption\">\n<p>                                Dynamic Island uses the space at the top of the screen to display notifications, song titles and other information.<br \/>\n                              <\/figcaption><span class=\"image-source headline-regular\" data-e2e-name=\"image-source\"><\/p>\n<p>                        apple<\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/span><br \/>\n                        <\/figure>\n<h2>nonsense<\/h2>\n<p>I always find excuses to justify splashing hundreds on a new smartphone: using my iPhone for work, documenting reporting trips, ensuring the battery lasts all day, and that it can support all the things I&#8217;ve got to do on it.  Let&#8217;s call that exactly what it is: nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Even a now-ancient iPhone 8 (from way back in, erm, 2017) could do the job.  However, there&#8217;s an appeal to having the latest mobile phone, and it&#8217;s nothing more than a way to brag to your friends. <\/p>\n<p>Apple CEO Tim Cook told someone who asked him whether Apple would adopt RCS \u2013 a messaging app developed by Google for Android mobiles \u2013 so his mom could more easily see the videos he sends her that he should buy his mom an iPhone. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just an iPhone that Cook thinks everyone should own when there are also AirPods, iPads, MacBooks and the Apple Watch to buy as well.  And yes, I do own all of those devices as well, of course.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;ve always said I don&#8217;t think I could change from an iPhone to an Android, plenty of people have done so and somehow survived.  Maybe it&#8217;s time I took an iOS holiday too? <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought the new iPhone 14 Pro Max the day after it went on sale in Apple stores.
