Apple has officially announced the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the company’s first major display redesign since the iPhone X in 2017. The Pro models have a new pill-shaped cutout in place of the notch, a faster A16 Bionic chip, and an always-on display.
According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are the “most innovative pro lineup yet.” Both Pro models will be on preorder from September 9th and will be available in stores after September 16th.
The display is the first noticeable design change with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. While Apple will offer the standard 6.7-inch screen, the notch has been replaced by a pill-shaped cutout for the Face ID components and a second circular cutout for the front-facing camera.
Apple has relocated the proximity sensor behind the display, and notifications will now be animatedly displayed in the notch. Apple demonstrated how Dynamic Island will animate and function in practice, including live activity widgets coming to life and music animations and controls. Background tasks such as music playback will be moved to the island when you swipe to go home.
Apple’s A16 Bionic chip prioritises power efficiency, display, and camera. The six-core CPU has two high-performance cores that use 20% less power and four efficiency cores that use a third of the power of competitors’ chips.
The iPhone uses a 48-megapixel sensor instead of a 12-megapixel sensor for the first time. The new main camera improves low-light photography with a quad-pixel sensor, f/1.78 aperture, and 24mm focal length.
The new ultrawide camera improves macrophotography and provides a 3x improvement in low light. Flash on the iPhone 14 camera system has also been improved by Apple, making it twice as bright and responsive to photo focal length. If you want to shoot video, the iPhone 14 Pro models will not let you down. The cinematic mode now supports 4K resolution at 30 frames per second and 4K resolution at 24 frames per second.
