TOP-TIER Are updates like Apple's Dynamic Island and improvements to the camera enough to make the 14 Pro Max the creative's next iPhone?

The first question we asked ourselves when reviewing the iPhone 14 Pro Max was, what does it have that the iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn't? Especially given the fact both phones look so similar.

With its predecessor already among the best smartphones of 2022, it would take quite something to outdo it. The most obvious upgrade in the 14 Pro Max is that Dynamic Island, a novel take on the punch hole and pill-shaped selfie camera cutout we've seen in Android phones for a few years. Then there's the new, improved camera system, with its bigger sensors and higher resolution that should make the 14 Pro and Pro Max the best iPhones for photography. And in daily use you'll also notice the new 14 Pro Max's Always-on Display - how can you not, the screen never turns off!

But can it make for a good phone and creative tool, for painting and drawing on the move? We take a look at its design, performance, features and upgrades to form our verdict

LET'S GET PHYSICAL

Anyone who was hoping for a major design change in the new iPhones is out of luck. From the back, the iPhone 13 Pro Max and 14 Pro Max look virtually identical. Both feature three stovetop-styled cameras, both enjoy a frosted glass lustre, and both have stainless steel metal frames that are very, very polished.
