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;.

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.

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 was asked last month by Vox Media&#8217;s LiQuan Hunt if Apple would adopt RCS, a messaging app developed by Google for Android smartphones, so his mom could see the videos he sends her.  Cook told him to buy his mom an iPhone, The Verge reported.<\/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 switch from an iPhone to an Android, plenty of people have done so and somehow survived.
