iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 Year Later Review | Is iPhone 14 Pro Max better than Fold 5 & S23 Ultra?
Hi friends, how are you? My name is Nabeel. The iPhone 15 series is about to launch. This is the dummy of the iPhone 15 Pro. This is the actual dummy. I have given you a lot of information about it. I will shift to the iPhone 15 Pro. I will try to shift to the iPhone 15 Pro or the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I always do this. I buy the latest phone because it is my job. But how was my experience of the iPhone 14 Pro Max for a year? As my primary device, I am going
to share this with you in this video. Because it is possible that after the iPhone 15 series, there will be a huge discount on it. There will be a lot of price cuts and other things. So you should consider this phone. What are the disadvantages of this phone? What are the benefits you will get from this phone? We will discuss all these things. Because I used this as my primary device for a year. I also have the experience of other phones. For example, this is my Galaxy Fold 5. I am using it now. I was
using the S23 Ultra before this. I also have the experience of this. I also have the experience
find any difference in the look. It looks like a normal Android phone. You can say that it is a foldable phone. You get to see a good look when you open it. And the display gets bigger like this. And it is also useful. But the thing that comes in an iPhone is lacking in these devices. Especially in the S23 Ultra. It looks like a very simple Android phone. Samsung has not brought any change in this. It is the same. Flagship phones are like this. And nowadays, all the companies are following Apple. And they are bringing
improvements in their flagship phones without changing much in the design. So if you want to make an impression, this phone is a perfect device. And this space black color is also very beautiful. And its build quality is also solid. You can see. Space black color. Stainless steel on the side. It is very tough. It has fallen a lot. It has also fallen without a case. And from a height of 7-8 feet, it has fallen directly on the stones while making a video. When there was no screen guard on it. Because of this, there were scratches
on the screen. But the screen did not break. So I can definitely say this thing. Apple has kept the build quality solid here. So maybe you will get to see it in any phone. And because it comes under IP68 certification. And its certification is more advanced level. You can say. It can stay in the water for a long time. Its build is more tough. So in comparison to this, in this thing, this S23 Ultra cannot do anything. And it cannot do Fold 5 at all. In Fold 5, you do not see any dust resistance at
all. Because of the hinge, this phone is also delicate. So if you want toughness in any phone, then this is the phone. And the other phones that are similarly priced, they do not have a stainless steel frame. If you look inside it, only aluminum comes. So you are definitely paying more money. But you can also see the recovery of that money with a tougher build. Now let’s talk about the display, guys. I am not at all disappointed with the display. I am completely satisfied. Why? First of all, I think the size of the display is
perfect. It is not too wide. Like S23 Ultra, you can easily hold it in your hand. And I am talking about the Max model, which comes with a 6.7-inch display. And it is not as thin as Fold. There is a different advantage in Fold. As I told you, if you open it, its display gets bigger. It is useful for editing documents. It is very useful. I am using it. I am enjoying it. But I like its display the most for media consumption. So if I want to see reels on Instagram or watch videos on YouTube,
I like this device the most. I think it is perfect. I used S23 Ultra as a primary device. I also used Fold 5. I didn’t enjoy the display. And one of the main reasons for its display to be better is that its display is brighter than the display of these two devices. It is one of the brightest displays. It gives a brightness of up to 2000 nits. It also has a negative point. I will tell you later. But here, this brightness of 2000 nits is very useful for me outdoors when I make videos. Because watch
videos or any other video that I want to take every day and I don’t want to carry the camera, then I shoot with the camera of this phone. And this brightness is useful for me there. And because this phone has this dynamic island, so there is a little uniqueness. You set the timer or you are posting your Instagram story. It will show you everything here. You posted a story on Instagram. You came out of Instagram. Still, it will tell you how many percent will be uploaded and what happened. It has unlimited uses. And there is
also uniqueness here which is missing in other phones. The negative point of the display that gives so much brightness is that it gets overwritten sometimes outdoors when there is a lot of sunlight. So at that time, if you put auto brightness and put it on manual, then it will be fine. Because when it gets overheated, then the brightness of the display will be less than other phones. So this is also a negative point of such a bright display. Now let’s talk about its battery life and battery health. See, this is a very controversial topic. These
days, there are a lot of talks about it. Why is it happening? I will tell you the reason. First of all, its battery life was a great battery life while I was on iOS 16. But because I put it on beta version, its battery life will be less and battery health will also drop. When I was running this phone on the stable version of iOS 16, it used to run for 2 days. If you have seen my review videos on iOS 16, then you will clearly see this thing. But when I downloaded the beta version
of iOS 17, and because it was the beta version, that is, the testing version, there were a lot of bugs in it and initially the phone used to get hot. So here the battery health has dropped a lot. And now you can see that it has come to 92% from 100%. For the whole year, that is, 9 months, 10 months, it was at 100%. It was living so well. There was no issue. After downloading the beta version, this thing happened. So if you have downloaded the beta version or you have installed the latest software updates,
then there is a problem of battery health drop in this phone, after which its battery life has decreased. Even after the battery life has decreased, 1.5 days with heavy usage, this phone works well. I don’t do gaming. If I do gaming, then obviously it won’t work that much. But apart from that, photos, cameras, social media, phone calls were used a lot. Even then, it used to run for 1.5 days. So its battery life is at outstanding levels. But not as much as it was at the time Talking about performance and stability, this device is the
king which means no other device can come close to it. S23 Ultra can’t come, Fold 5 can’t come, and any other phone like iQoo or Faiqoo can’t compare its performance. If you want to compare Android devices with iOS devices, then you should use Geekbench and not Antutu because the scores of both are taken out in a different way. Some YouTubers who don’t have knowledge compare the scores of both Antutu. Never do it on Antutu’s website. It has been said that you can’t compare Antutu scores of Android and iOS. Both benchmarks are taken out. Stability, app
performance, app look is also top notch Animations in this will also look very smooth with other flagship devices especially with Samsung devices. Samsung hasn’t reached the level where it can give such smoothness and finesse in its OS. Talking about camera performance, Apple has improved a lot this year. They have given 48MP sensor, rear facing camera, action mode, with which you can take amazing videos. Its video quality is amazing. I have this phone as I told you S23 Ultra. Its camera is also fantastic. I never use it I always use it when I have to shoot
professional videos. I also do my clients’ work on this where it is not possible You can’t compare the camera of iPhone 14 Pro Max because the camera is 4-5 lakhs. You can’t compare it with because it have 4 -5 lakhs phones and just the camera. If needed, we can use this phone and its successful in that. It can take great pictures, portrait photos can also It needs improvement in portrait I felt S23 Ultra. Talking about the network Let’s talk about the network performance. I am very happy with the network performance of this phone. A lot
of people use iPhone 6 and 7 but the network is not good. If you use a 6-8 years old phone, will you get the same experience? This is the latest phone and you won’t have any problem with it. You get 5G, I am using eSIM and you get 5G on eSIM. Wi-Fi is amazing. And the Wi-Fi speed that I get on my Android phones is more than that on my 14 Pro Max. The only thing that is missing on this phone is Wi-Fi 6E. This phone has Wi-Fi 6 and this phone has Wi -Fi 6E.
So if you have that speed and if you have that router, then this device is missing. Now let’s talk about iOS 17 and its improvements. Now this device is very new. It was launched on iOS 16. It will get all 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. And the stability is amazing. The performance is amazing. But iOS 17 has a lot of new features that have removed its shortcomings. For example, call logs used to get 100 calls. Now you get unlimited call logs. Apple has removed that complaint. And WhatsApp has also added a lot of new features
that were not there in iOS before. Like picture-in-picture calling and a lot more. Now you can send HD pictures directly from WhatsApp. So you have to go to the document and search for it, save it in the document. All these restrictions have been reduced to a large extent. But because there is a lightning port in it, it is not possible to easily connect a pen drive or a hard disk in this phone. So it lags behind in that matter. And where Samsung loses, or Android phones, is call recording, which is very important for some people.
It is also for me. So for call recording, I have put one of my business calls in my old 5. I feel a lot of lack of this thing in it. But it is not that there is no workaround for it. You can buy a call recorder like this and use it. You will have to spend an extra 10,000 rupees, which is a lot. But still, it is not that call recording is So you can use this thing to do call recording. Now let’s talk about accessory support. So in accessory support, the iPhones are unmatched.
I mean, no phone, no manufacturer can compete with this. The most important thing here is the MagSafe technology. There are magnets at the back. So you stick the call recorder and call recording starts. You feel the battery is low. You are working in the field outdoors. You don’t have to use a wired power bank. You have to use a MagSafe power bank like this. And here your charging starts. And it is so light. It is attached to the back of the phone. There is no problem. If you want to shoot, make a video, or talk
on the call, there is no issue. And you also have support for third-party accessories. Because iPhone users spend a lot of money. They have the heart to spend money. They don’t have the habit of running FireEdit software. So they spend money. There are a lot of companies here. They make different products for them. Like this daily objects battery pack, which I have also reviewed. And not only this, there are a lot of different accessories. And a lot is possible because of MagSafe. Like this MagSafe charging dock. On which your phone sticks directly. There is no
need to put anything else. And there are so many amazing options for cases. There is no limit to this. You can take as many cases as you want. Different brands, different manufacturers, keep dying to make cases for iPhones. And people buy and spend the same number of cases. And there I have taken Fold 5. With this, Samsung has attached a free case. Saying that it is worth 6500 rupees. And see how bad and dirty this case is. Neither can I charge it wirelessly. Nor can I put the MagSafe ring behind it. I mean, there is
also a separate ring that I have taken for S23 Ultra. I can put it and charge it. So all these things are not possible. And you will say, does the S Pen work? If the S Pen works on this, then where did you get the S Pen? I have to buy a separate case for 8000 rupees. So this is not a phone to use the stylus. Apple has not yet supported the stylus in this. So yes, you need all that. So S23 Ultra will be a better choice for you. Because it comes with an inbuilt
S Pen. Now let’s talk simply. How was my experience with the iPhone 14 Pro Max? Let me summarize. So my experience with this phone was fantastic. I used the 13 Pro Max before this. I used the 13 Pro. In comparison, there is definitely an improvement here. Apple has done a lot of things here. Which did not come in the iPhone. I am not saying that it is groundbreaking. But it did not come. So now all those things have been added. Like it is always on display here. Then after that, the docking mode comes. If you
put it on the dock of always on display, then a separate clock comes. So a lot of good things have been tried to do here. But still this was a phone. Which was the last lightning port phone. And I am very excited to buy it. But if someone’s budget is around 1,80,000 rupees. He gets this phone. So definitely buy this phone. And save that 50,000-60,000 rupees for the 15 series. It will be worth it. I am very satisfied with this phone. Especially for its cameras. For its build quality. Because of its looks. And because of
the support of the accessories What do you think? You tell me. Do you have any experience with 14 series? With 14 Pro Max? Whatever you think. You can tell me by writing a comment. That’s all, friends. If you liked this video, then do like and share it. And subscribe to my channel. Goodbye.
