Camera

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max has a total of four cameras – three on the back, one at the front. And while their logic and operation seem quite like what the iPhone 13 Pro duo had, all but the telephoto camera have been improved in various ways.

The primary camera of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has seen the biggest update. It now uses a 48MP 1/1.28″ sensor with a Quad-Bayer color filter, a first for the iPhone. The camera has a 1.22µm pixel size before binning – 2.44µm with binning. It’s coupled with a 24mm f/1.78 lens. There is also second-gen sensor-shift stabilization, as well as full-focus pixels.

The high-res main sensor enables a new intermediary zooming step of 2x in the camera app, by cropping from the middle and AI-assisted upscaling. High-res 48MP RAW shooting is also available additionally to the standard 12MP RAW mode.

There’s a new 12MP sensor for the ultrawide camera, too. It’s a 1/2.55″ unit with large 1.4µm pixels and should deliver sharper images with more detail and improve on macro shots.

The selfie camera uses a 12MP 1/3.6″ sensor again, but it now comes with a brighter f/1.9 aperture on its 23mm lens and supports autofocus.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery lasted 12 hours and 40 minutes–about an hour longer than the iPhone 13 Pro Max–when we ran the Geek bench 4 battery test. And the iPhone 14 Pro Max lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes longer than the iPhone 14 Pro–that’s 30 percent more battery life from a battery that is 35 percent larger than the smaller iPhone 14 Pro.

Security and Identification

The iPhone 14 Pro max is designed to protect your data and your privacy. Built-in privacy features minimize how much of your information is available to anyone, and it can adjust what information is shared and where you share it. Built-in security features help prevent anyone but you from accessing the data on your iPhone and in iCloud.
