What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 14 Pro Max has excellent cameras led by the new 48MP main sensor, a very bright always-on display, a clever Dynamic Island and top performance. All three criticise slow charging; Tom's Guide and GSMArena rated battery life superb where TechRadar found it weaker than the 13 Pro Max's, and GSMArena noted the size and weight.
