iPhone 14 Pro Max vs 13 – NOT what you expected! π
The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 and 14 Plus have been the talk of the town in the last few weeks. But how about the iPhone 13 Pro Max? In this video I compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max against its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Pro Max and as I’ve been alluding to in my previous videos, it’s not as clear cut as it may seem. Or as Apple want you to see with the new Dynamic Island, and the 48MP camera. These are incredible features and the quality is always there with Apple, but from a progress standpoint, the 13 Pro Max could be closer to the 14 Pro Max than you think!
I hope you enjoyed this video. This was NOT a sponsored video so any support is much appreciated ππΌ

Let me know if you think the upgrade is worth it coming from a 13 Pro Max. Have a lovely day! Almost forgot, are you team π or π³? Let me know ππΌ
Well done ππ» youβve put all the other YouTubers out there to shame (especially that overrated MKBHD, yucks) with that call quality test!
Completely agree with you. An honest reviewer!
International traveler living in US over here: i will never buy until iPhone gets sim back
Iβm getting my 14 pro max today upgrading from a 7plus itβs worth the upgrade
Many of US are not happy about losing the SIM tray and think Apple
had no business doing that to US. It would be one thing if either all iPhone 14s lost the tray, or if we in the US gained something in exchange for losing the tray, but this doesnβt appear to be the case.
I did and I felt like it was just a gimmick
Loved the video, but please do not enter the click bait video title trend.
I'm not apple fanboy, been android since for ever, but hows 14 pro max not a good update better cameras better chip better screen, thats it perfecting the machine. I for the first time changed to ios and honestly i prefer having things working good and perfected, than having gimmicks i use 10 times in the phone life (100 zoom, microscope camera) or a great phone that turns out into junk like the s21 ultra and the oneplus 9 pro with updates.
Its the constant demand for innovation new features and phones that's ruining the tech, phones are now basically all the same because companies became like fast food, full of bugs nor perfected, no time to inovate and when they try to have the time they go down the drain like smartisan, because they couldnt keep up with the tiny bit improvement of the processor camera that makes other old news and like obsolete
All this talk about 13 and 14 pro. Iβm just chilling with my 13 mini. Greatest iPhone Iβve ever had.
Yβall all are missing the greatness from the 13 mini. Itβs literally the best iPhone to date. No cap
The 48mp pro raw images are superior to anything the iPhone can produce. Thereβs absolutely no doubt about that, the pro raw on the 13 pro is not even close.
Excellent review Alex!!
Very well done, Alex. Fantastic brolls! What are those lamps youβre using? The tubes. Thanks, man
Iβm upgrading from iPhone 13 mini to iphone 14 pro max.
The reason is I donβt use my ipad pro anymore , so i will sell it and use one device.
love to have one device for everything. π
I have seen so many videos about the iPhone 14 Pro Max but no one has done the bare minimum – testing call quality. YouTubers forget that for many, this will be their first iPhone or a major upgrade, so they want to know the nitty-gritties of such an expensive phone. Bravo! Loved the video π€πΌ
I guess them changing the notch design after five years and implementing software UI with a new pill design doesnβt warrant to upgrade in your eyes. I disagree with you man. I sold my iPhone 13 promax for 900 and bought a 14 max for 1200(256gb)using my Apple Card and getting 3% cashback. Why would I stick with a notch instead of moving forward to the next generation design? Itβs like when people were sticking with a home button instead of moving forward to the full screen design with a notch. Also after 2023 when all iPhones move over to the island π design the ones with the notch on them are going to drop in value big time. Learn how to give your viewers better context with your reviews
Hey Alex . Your reviews are brilliant and very unique and different from the other reviewers.
I have been using apple Since the 1st generation. I now use an iPhone 12 Pro Max . I used to upgrade each year. However the 13 and 14 are both such disappointments .
Even though I use the apple ecosystem like a MacBook Pro , IPad mini . Now I am trying to break away from that . Would you recommend the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4? I have used android a few time . Plus the last foldable I used was the Nokia Communicators that I loved. I mainly use me phone for work like emails , WhatsApp and YouTube. I donβt have any social network apps . Thanks so much .
You missed an important point.. The apple is rolling out the updates and already ppl complain of reduction in battery in 13 pro max. So it looks like Apple really wants you to go for 14 models by decreasing the battery performance of older phones
Very true opinion that i was feeling β€not worth upgrading as in India i have to pay just double in comparison to US dollar @2000 usd π π too much expensive for us.
One βπ»another reason not to buying πthis year.
Man, this was your best review yet. Excellent attention to the detail.
Thank you for testing call quality. I've been wondering if call quality and signal strength would improve on the 14 Pro Max.
great video.
One thing Iβve noticed that I donβt like is the dynamic island cuts into videos that use an 18:9 aspect ratio in an extremely unappealing way (Though I upgraded from an XS Max so other than that Iβm more than happy)
apple is just try to save the tiny bits as much as they can so they can get more from the consumers. if they want they could really build the best phone out there but they just want your money every year so they will not do it right away. and the dynamic is a gimmick, battery eater, irritating ui just like the face id. in total, its a dynamic failure
Definitely tooβ¦βincrementalβ to upgrade from a 13. But coming from the 12PM, itβs really kicking ass for me. I guess Iβm a fan boy, I think itβs great π€
Hi Alex. Really like your reviews. My situation is a bit different to normal iphone users. I am an android user looking to switch to iPhone. Would you in that regard recommend me the 14 pro max or the 13 pro max? And why?
Your a d@mn good creator

I agree with the premise of the video. I consider myself a fan of Apple, but find myself a little mortified they put a big hole in the middle of the screen, put some fancy animations around it and are able to sell it as an upgrade. And people are excited for this very clearly worse placement of the camera and Face ID array! Itβs marketing only apple could pull off. People would laugh if Samsung tried thisβ¦ well if Samsung tried it first.
That, coupled with the major downgrade from physical sim AND ESim to just ESim, will stop me from buying this phone.
Finally, the camera seems like a minor upgrade, especially since I personally just like to point and shoot. 48 Megapixel photos and stable cinematic modes seem cool but edge cases in day to day use.
For the first time in a few years Iβm considering going back to Androidβ¦ Grapheneos is fantastic these days.
This is the most comprehensive and honest comparison I've ever seen. No iSheeping. Wow!
I have a 13 pro max and Iβm staying with it. Iβm satisfied.
I went from a 13PM to 14PM and the 48MP sensor was enough for me. Especially when using Halide, I can shoot everything in 48MP.
4:00 I knew 5G was the culprit π
Really good video! The quality is amazing! Keep doing things like that and your channel will be as famous or even more than other tech YouTubers. Congrats!
