Tim Cook usually concludes his presentation of a new iPhone by saying that it’s the best ever. He is absolutely right when he talks about the brilliant iPhone 14 Pro Max in many ways. We appreciate the quality of its screen, the phenomenal processing power of the SoC A16 Bionic, the increased autonomy and above all the improvement in the photo and video parts, already powerful on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Dynamic Island is a great way to camouflage the ugly notch on iPhone screens… and even make them acceptable. In the end, this gadget is more useful than useless and we quickly appreciate its presence.
That leaves the annoying points, such as the lack of a power adapter, the slow charging of the battery and of course the price. To afford the “best iPhone ever” you have to pay at least 1,479 euros for the 128GB version, up 220 euros compared to the 13 Pro Max. The 256GB, 512GB and 1TB versions are offered at 1,609, 1,869 and 2,129 euros, i.e. surcharges of 230, 260 and 290 euros compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max of the same size.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is undoubtedly a great product. But its price puts off most potential buyers. In its 1 TB version, it breaks the €2,000 mark, like Samsung and its Galaxy Z Fold 4 (€2,159). Because if buyers are willing to pay such sums, it would be wrong if manufacturers did not do so…
