Iphone 14 Pro And Pro Max Camera Size
Having just swapped to the iPhone 14 Pro Max from an iPhone 13 Pro Max, it's not always clear how the photography experience has changed from one phone to the other. Apple's refinements can still be spotted during daytime photography, but the color and detail improvements on the iPhone 14 Pro Max are most clear when it's nighttime, and it can really flex its processing powers to bring out the best in its subjects. But here, we're going to drill down into what exactly Apple changed about the iPhone 14 Pro Max's cameras from the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and how that impacts its photos. iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. iPhone 13 Pro Max: Camera specs
iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro Max Main (resolution, aperture, sensor size) 48 MP, f/1.8, 1/1.28" 12MP, f/1.5, 1/1.7" Ultrawide (resolution, aperture, sensor size) 12MP, ƒ/2.2, 1/2.55" 12MP, f/1.8, 1/3.5" Telephoto (resolution, aperture, sensor size, zoom magnification) 12MP, ƒ/2.8, 1/3.5", 3x 12MP, f/2.8, 1/3.5", 3x Selfie (resolution, aperture, sensor size) 12MP, ƒ/1.9, 1/3.6" 12 MP, f/2.2, 1/3.6"
The iPhone 13 Pro Max (and the iPhone 13 Pro too) has a trio of 12MP cameras on the back. iPhone 14 Pro Max vs. iPhone 13 Pro Max shootout: the photos
We'll start with the selfie camera, since this portrait-mode shot of me effectively shows off what's changed between generations. And while I think the day shots are fairly similar in quality, the iPhone 14 Pro Max really pulls ahead when the sun goes down. The iPhone 14 Pro Max's image has much brighter highlights, but no other major differences between it and its predecessor's photo. The sky's paler in the iPhone 14 Pro Max's image, but more notably it's got better texture than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Using the telephoto to zoom in on a detail of the pub's architecture, the colors now seem more natural looking on the iPhone 13 Pro Max from my perspective, although the brighter sky on the iPhone 14 Pro Max is nice. Now we move to the night mode shots, and it's here that Apple's Photonic Engine really kicks in to deliver improved results for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The main difference I notice here is that the iPhone 13 Pro Max's shot is noisier, particularly around the moon. The iPhone 14 Pro Max's image remains the warmer and brighter one, while also bringing out other details like the house and the trees to help frame the shot up the street. Final thoughts

The iPhone 14 Pro Max does indeed improve on the iPhone 13 Pro Max's already strong cameras, and the newer model deserves its spot over the old one on our best camera phone list. That said, I still don't think it's worth upgrading from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the 14 Pro Max just for these camera upgrades. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best camera phone around for consistent images, no matter the lens or the time of day.

iPhone 14 Pro Max features groundbreaking safety features designed to save lives. 1 See Features
1 iPhone 14 models are activated with an eSIM and do not support a physical SIM.
This year, Apple has bolstered the camera with a reworked Photonic Engine, Action Mode, and more. Volume buttons
If we start with the controls of the Camera app, sometimes tapping the screen isn't ideal. When this is enabled, holding the volume up button will instead start capturing burst photos. If we got ultra-technical, there is some loss of quality because Apple can't utilize pixel binning when this happens, meaning the now-smaller pixels capture a bit less light. Macro toggle in settings
If you want to shoot in Macro Mode, you can bring your phone very close to your subject at which point Macro Mode will turn on. Apple QuickTake
QuickTake is effortless to capture photos, videos, or burst shots instantly. Tapping the white shutter button will snap a pic for you, but a video records when you hold it. if you plan on recording for a while, slide the shutter button to the right, which locks it into video mode and you don't have to hold the button. Capturing burst photos with QuickTake
If you want to capture burst photos, you can tap the button and immediately pull it to the left. You may see the ProRes or RAW indicator, the flash icon, the Night Mode icon, or the Live Photo toggle. These icons include the flash control (auto, off, on), Night Mode (appears only when dark), Live Photo (on, off), Photographic Styles (choose from five styles), aspect ratio (4:3, 1:1, 16:9), exposure compensation, timer, and filters. On a traditional camera, leaving the camera shutter open longer will allow more light to hit the sensor, allowing you to take photos in dim settings. By tapping the Night Mode icon, you can adjust this shutter length manually by sliding it left and right. With iPhone 14 Pro, you can capture 12MP RAW photos or using the entire 48MP sensor. When you switch to video mode, the resolution and frame rate will show in the top-left corner. Depending on your video mode, different recording resolution and framerates will be available, based on what the phone can capture. This year, Apple upgraded Cinematic Mode on the iPhone 14 Pro to capture video at up to 4K. Editing a Cinematic Mode video
If you haven't heard of Cinematic Mode before, it mimics Portrait Mode but for video. New for iPhone 14 Pro users, is Action Mode. To enable this mode, just put your phone into video mode and you'll see a new icon appear at the top.
A win-win, if you ask us ;)
At Back Market, refurbished iPhones (and all of our other devices for that matter) have been renewed to an unmatched high standard of quality.
Iphone 14 Pro Max Camera Sensor Size
If you can live with a slightly smaller display, and want less weight in your pocket, we might recommend the more compact 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, instead. Two-minute review
Ahead of launch, we ran an informal Twitter poll (opens in new tab) on which new Apple iPhone 14 people wante. It’s not just the bigger 6.7-inch display or the potential for more battery life, it seems current iPhone buyers want all the features that come with Apple’s premium handset. It’s no more powerful than the identical-but-smaller 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, but noticeably more so than the new iPhone 14 and its big brother, the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus get the A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max (it has one more GPU core than the A15 Bionic in the standard iPhone 13), while the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max get the all-new 4-nanometer process A16 Bionic. $899 / £949 / AU$1,579 for a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus might sound good on paper, but consumers will, apparently, gladly pay $1,099 / £1,199 / AU$1,899 for the full-featured iPhone 14 Pro Max – what they consider the best iPhone, even in these cash-strapped times. There are even $1,000 trade-in deals in the US, though Apple and the carriers have to verify the trade-in value – and don’t expect to get that kind of cash for an iPhone 6 or even an iPhone 8. If we’re talking about value, though, the iPhone 14 Pro Max earns its keep with snappy performance, a truly radiant screen that now can reach a sun-beating 2,000-nit brilliance, while also delivering new low-power 1Hz always-on display functionality that’s just there for a quick glance.

There is some reasonable concern about what so much swiping across the front-facing camera might mean for selfies, but at least there’s an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges on the lens. The upgraded camera array finally brings pixel binning to the iPhone – a favorite feature on numerous Android devices, which combines brightness and color data from four (or more) pixels on the sensor for improved low-light performance and color accuracy. For the main camera, Apple has gone with a 48MP sensor (a far cry from, say, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 108MP sensor), although this is more of a technological advancement than a headline number, as you'll see below. You can also shoot in 48MP ProRAW mode, which is great for pro-shooters (you’ll need to turn this option on in the settings). Apple can’t, however, seem to figure out how to give us more than 3x optical zoom, even as competitors are offering 10x optical and 100x (albeit highly interpolated) ‘Space Zoom’.

Powering the whole show is the new A16 Bionic chip. It’s an upgrade from the A15 Bionic (which, as mentioned, lives on in the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus), with 16 billion transistors and a smaller, more efficient 4-nanometer process. The benchmarks, and the real-world performance, appear to bear out the strength of this new Apple silicon, which reaches into almost every corner of iPhone 14 Pro Max performance (photos, the always-on display, and the Dynamic Island). Between the new display technology more efficient A16 Bionic, and the size of the 14 Pro Max, we expected more than the 13 hours of mixed-use battery life we got - although this can be improved when removing the always-on display. This, by the way, is Apple’s first eSIM-only iPhone (in the US, at least – the SIM slot lives on in other markets). 128GB: $1,099 / £1,199 / AU$1,899

Apple unveiled its entire iPhone 14 line – the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max – on September 7, 2022. However, while the price has remained the same as the iPhone 13 Pro Max in some territories, our UK readers will have to put up with a pretty hefty price hike year on year - this is now an incredibly expensive phone if you want to go for the 256GB that we think most people should consider.

Value score: 4/5
iPhone 14 Pro Max design
Familiar 'Pro' design
Size only slightly different
Display has a fresh look without the notch
At a glance, and aside from the glorious new Deep Purple finish, the iPhone 14 Pro Max could be mistaken for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. At 160.7 x 77.6 x 7.85mm, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is slightly shorter and narrower than the last phone, and a hair thicker. None of this is noticeable when you look at or hold the phone; perhaps that’s because, at 240g, the weight is unchanged from the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

With the iPhone 14 Pro Max (and the 14 Pro), you get Apple’s premium material experience; which means a polished stainless steel frame, with frosted glass on the back and front. The front display is protected by Apple’s transparent Ceramic Shield, which should safeguard it from damage (we did not drop or purposely scratch the screen to test it, but in recent drop tests it showed that the front of the phone is clearly better able to resist drops, where the rear glass is less so. We did accidentally drop the iPhone 14 Pro Max during our testing, and it survived just fine - but a good iPhone 14 Pro Max case is probably a good idea. Things like button placement for power/sleep/Siri, the volume controls and the silence switch are identical to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Even though the camera array design is similar to the iPhone 13’s, the lenses are all slightly larger (maybe by a millimeter or two), so you'll see that the array looks even more gargantuan. Design score: 4.5/5
iPhone 14 Pro Max display
6.7-inch Super Retina XDR is still gorgeous
Dynamic Island replaces the notch
Adaptive refresh and Always-on are welcome additions

While some might argue that the current iPhone design language is getting a little old, it’s revitalized here by the reworked Super Retina XDR display. Aside from the powerful A16 Bionic under the hood, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s screen features the new phone’s biggest innovation: the Dynamic Island. Part of that is due to Apple’s use of black, both in the physical components of the Dynamic Island and the inky blacks generated by the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s OLED screen. Apple introduced ProMotion with the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, cranking up the screen refresh rate to 120Hz. Now, the iPhone 14 Pro Max (and Pro) offer an even wider adaptive refresh rate range, which can go from 1z to 120Hz. Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Dynamic Island (Image credit: Future / Lance Ulanoff)
It’s difficult to test refresh rates. The default refresh rate appears to be 60Hz, and generally, everything looks as it should on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. That’s right: Apple finally added an always-on screen option to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and 14 Pro (but not the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus). While the iPhone 14 Pro Max display can go purposefully dim, it also has the ability to shine quite brilliantly. Keep in mind, though, that a day outside with the screen pumping that much brightness means your battery won't last that promised 29 hours (spoiler alert: it didn’t for us). Display score: 5/5
iPhone 14 Pro Max cameras
Finally gets a 48MP quad-pixel sensor
Upgrades across the board for the three-lens array
TrueDepth camera gains autofocus

While the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s (and iPhone 14 Pro’s) camera array may look similar to the one on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the lenses and sensors are all different. On the iPhone 14 Pro Max, most people will shoot in 12MP mode. Shooting in RAW (or ProRAW, which is Apple's smart computational combination of RAW and processor smarts) doesn’t appear to make much difference to image quality as viewed on the iPhone’s display, but that’s because it’s really intended for pro shooters who want to manipulate uncompressed images in, for instance, Photoshop. While there’s nothing wrong with Apple’s 3x optical zoom 77mm f/2.8 lens, (it takes beautiful pictures), it feels underpowered compared to the 10x optical zoom that’s available on Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra. In a practical sense, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 15x digital zoom fails when it comes to long range shots, but clearly the brand sees moon-shooting as a gimmick, rather than a necessity.

Apple has also upgraded the series’ video capabilities to support 4K 30fps Cinema mode, which does look excellent. Interestingly, Apple has opted not to introduce 8K video recording (a rumored addition in the lead-up to the phones’ launch), but while some might see this as a deficit, we see it as a blessing. In general, Apple’s camera system and image-capture capabilities remain top tier, meaning it retains Apple's title of offering one of the best camera phones on the market, with beautiful images from the 48MP sensor, and improved macro mode shots. Camera score: 4/5

Battery life disappoints with always-on displahy
26 hours possible with limited, indoor use
Always on and outdoor, ultra-bright use reduces battery life hard
As ever, Apple hasn’t revealed the size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max battery, but snooping around reveals that it’s actually marginally smaller than the previous Pro Max’s (4,323mAh vs 4,352mAh), despite promising a higher 29 hours of video playback (compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 28-hours playback); presumably gaining a bit of battery life thanks to the more efficient A16 Bionic chip. In our tests, we found the iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn't have the battery prowess of its predecessor, which was a disappointment - that primarily came from the always-on display, or using the phone outside in powerful, bright conditions. In our lab tests, the 14 Pro Max actually out-performed the 13 Pro Max by about an hour in our rundown testing, where we'll loop websites over Wi-Fi to assess the longevity - it shows that Apple has indeed improved efficiency with the new A16 chip. Battery score: 4/5

A quick note about the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max’s speaker system. iPhone 14 Pro Max performance and specs
Apple's latest A16 Bionic
Built on a more-efficient 4-nanometer process
1 billion more transistors than the A15 Bionic
Approximately 6GB of RAM with no option for more
Aside from the multi-element lenses and larger sensors, Apple’s new A16 Bionic chipset is the engine behind the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s photography capabilities. Both have a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU (the previous A15 on the non-Pro iPhone 13 had four GPU cores), and a 16-core neural engine. Of course, that’s also a powerful mobile CPU, and having now reviewed both the new iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung’s Galaxy S22, we can report that neither is wanting in the performance department. Performance score: 5/5
iPhone 14 Pro Max eSIM and satellite connectivity
No SIM slot in the US
UK can't really use eSIM feature yet
Satellite connectivity free for two years, coming November
In the US, the entire iPhone 14 line is now SIM-slot free, instead employing eSIM technology to connect you to the cellular network. In our testing, it introduced no difficulty in setting up the iPhone 14 Pro Max. On the iPhone 14 Pro, you’ll notice a tiny ‘SOS’ and satellite icon in the upper-right quadrant. If you dial 911 in this situation, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will, as it did in our demo, ask if you want to try emergency text via satellite.

All Apple iPhone 14 handsets ship with iOS 16. We had fun adding our own custom photo, and positioning it until a portion of our iPhone 14 Pro Max beauty shot (one where the phone is splashed with water) occluded the redesigned time readout. Overall, there’s a lot to discover in iOS 16, but our overall impression is that it makes for a better iPhone 14 Pro Max experience. You can also get these on the iPhone 14 Pro, but you won’t have that big, pocket-busting screen, as well as the awesome Dynamic Island.

For many, the headlining act was the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max reveal, both of which are Apple's cream-of-the-crop smartphones -- with new and improved cameras and safety features standing out. If you have your eyes set on a new Pro model but are split between the regular iPhone 14 Pro and the Pro Max, I've listed below the key reasons to buy one over the other. Specifications

1. Instead, the iPhone 14 Pro's 6.1-inch framework should provide a more manageable handheld experience. Here's what that means
Even with its smaller size, the iPhone 14 Pro carries the same camera system, iOS 16, safety features, and long-term support as the Max. Your carrier offers better promotions for the smaller Pro
If you play your cards right, you can technically get an iPhone 14 Pro for free through carrier promotions. You prefer a larger phone
Entertainment freaks will go bananas for the iPhone 14 Pro Max's larger, 6.7-inch display. It delivers a more immersive video-watching and general browsing experience than the standard iPhone 14 Pro, and the greater screen real estate makes the new Dynamic Island appear less intrusive (when you're not using it). You want a longer-lasting battery
Naturally, the iPhone 14 Pro Max's battery will last much longer than the smaller variant.
And with a wide price range starting at $799 (£849, AU$1,399) for the iPhone 14 going all the way up to $1,099 for the Pro Max, you may want to be able to see what the differences are between all the models. The new iPhone lineup was just one part of Apple's fall product reveal, with the company also debuting three new Apple Watch models with the $249 Apple Watch SE, $399 Apple Watch Series 8 and the $799 Apple Watch Ultra.
