Apple - iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB - Deep Purple (Verizon)

I am not going to get into the thick of it for this review, as I am assuming most of you who are getting an iPhone 14 Pro Max already know why Apple makes great phones. So for this I will give you my perspective on what sticks out and how it has gone for me so far upgrading from the iPhone 12 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro Max: THINGS I LIKED: - The new “eSim” technology means no more SIM cards needed! I think that is going to be very convenient for a lot of people out there who only ever use 1 phone and do not need the hassle of messing with those little SIM cards. Seriously it was very easy to set up via Verizon and I was able to do the whole setup at home. - The screen is gorgeous! I love how big the screen is, along with the great clarity/colors it produces, and the 120hz refresh rate made everything feel sooo smooth and fast. Very happy with his aspect! - The new “Dynamic Island” (aka the pill notch instead of the notch they use in the past) is a clever idea. It adds more space to the screen and they do a great job of incorporating apps into the dynamic island. Whether I am taking phone calls, using Spotify, or navigating with maps, its a nice animation to have everything housed there. - The always on display is a nice new feature to have so you can see everything at a glance without having to unlock the screen. - The camera is BIG on the back but it takes excellent pictures and videos. Seriously the pictures look wonderful with a lot of detail and the new video modes are nice to have and capture everything really smoothly. - Also the speakers are much louder and clearer than before, the processor in this thing is super fast, and my WiFi / 5G connections are very strong so far as well! - Finally, I am really excited for the battery life on this! I have not used it long enough to provide a better perspective, but from what I have read this thing should be long lasting on those big heavy using phone days. SIZE DIFFERENCE (12 Pro —> 14 Pro Max): - This is of course a much larger phone than the 12 Pro, but instantly the 14 Pro Max felt great in my hands. I like having more of the real estate for reading articles, typing emails, and more space for watching videos. - The phone is of course bigger to handle and heavier too. Initially is feels like a lot but I have gotten more use to it the more I use it for sure. - Overall, I am glad I made the jump to the bigger screen size and I think that I will enjoy having the larger screen more than I will miss having a smaller more portable phone. THINGS I WISH WERE DIFFERENT: - As I said before, I wish this phone was thinner and lighter. It’s not like its a deal breaker for me, but it is a big phone. - Still charges via lightening, I wish it was USB-C - Lastly, the Always on Display is a nice option to have but I likely will not use it much. It would be nice if you could have always on display only turned on during certain times or when you have a certain focus mode turned on. But that could be a software update later on. BOTTOM LINE: - I was coming from the iPhone 12 Pro and upgrading to the 14 Pro Max is definitely a worthy upgrade! The screen is beautiful, everything is very fast and responsive, the camera is a major upgrade, and overall I feel like I am getting a new phone with noticeable improvements, which is all any of us really want! We want to feel like we bought something that is better than we had before, and I think the 14 Pro Max really nails it!

The best there is! Amazing camera quality and the design is really ergonomic!

The dynamic island is an awesome feature and the cameras are so good! Battery life not as good as iPhone 13

I am really enjoying my new iPhone 14 pro max. I have adjusted easily when using it.

I absolutely love my brand new IPhone 14ProMax. I also loved the sweet sales lady who went far and beyond help. I’m 60 years old and Lizzy from Port Arthur TX Best Buy . I’m so happy with my purchase

I really love the iPhone 14 pro max it has a good quality camera and my battery last more than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. And this iPhone 14 pro max need to last me at least 4 to 5 year.

It’s perfect. It arrived perfect on the scheduled date. Very easy to set up. I particularly love Apple and only use their products!

Bought it to replace my 12 pro max that was broken and it was a hassle to transfer the sim. This phone uses ESIM and my 12 pro max had a physical SIM so the data transfer was impossible to complete without assistance. It took a couple hours to get it activated even with assistance from Verizon staff. The phone is beautiful though and it really doesn’t feel or work much different than my iPhone 12. What I am really impressed by is the fact that I was able to purchase this phone with such ease through Best Buy when Verizon made it a nightmare to purchase from them even though I’m already a customer. I will always go through Best Buy from now own to purchase my electronics.
