iPhone 14 Pro Max

Background

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were unveiled alongside the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus during the Apple Event at Apple Park in Cupertino, California on September 7, 2022 and were made available on September 16, 2022. Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max began on September 9, 2022. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models (as well as the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus) sold in the United States dropped support for physical SIM cards, making them the first iPhone models since the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4 to not come with a discrete SIM card slot. These are the first ever iPhones to have Always-On Display. When it is on, the lockscreen dims down to very low level and display refresh rate drops to 1hz. iOS 16 on the iPhone 14 Pro supports a feature known as "Dynamic Island", which displays hardware and system-level notifications, media playback data, and other app-specific "live activities" as indicators on either side of the camera and sensor cut-outs, They are rendered on a black rounded rectangle, providing the illusion that the cut-out is expanding and contracting. The Dynamic Island can also be tapped to view additional details; for example, ongoing activities like Maps directions or sports scores can also be expanded by tapping and holding the area. The camera sensors and lenses have been upgraded this year for the main camera and ultra-wide camera. The main camera features a new 48 megapixel quad-pixel sensor that is 65% larger than the one on the iPhone 13 Pro. The ultra-wide camera features a new larger 12 megapixel sensor that has 100% Focus Pixels. The lens has also been improved for optical clarity and features a larger aperture. Apple now uses a new "Photonic Engine" for better image and video quality, and for video, it now has a video stabilization feature called Action Mode. The TrueDepth camera now has autofocus and a larger aperture. It has gained the ability to focus on multiple subjects at once. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are available in four colors: Silver, Space Black, Gold and Deep Purple. Deep Purple is a new color replacing Sierra Blue used on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
