Many reports suggest that Apple will introduce a new iPhone 14 Max model during the iPhone 14 series event on September 7, to fill the slot of the now-retired mini.
Not to be confused with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, this new iPhone 14 Max is about to fill a void that Apple apparently considers important enough.
If you want to know what the iPhone 14 Max is, you've come to the right place! Here, we've done a first look at Apple's latest model, which will turn into a full review once the phone is available (and if it actually comes to fruition in the first place).
iPhone 14 Max specs
Basically – it's bigger than an iPhone 14, with a bigger screen and battery, but less than an iPhone 14 Pro. Keep in mind that these specs are based on leaks and rumours, and won't be officially confirmed until September 7th. We'll then update this specs table with Apple's official iPhone 14 Pro specs (or sooner, if specs are leaked).

iPhone 14 Max design and colors

The iPhone 14 Max should stick with the notch we know so well, just like the base iPhone 14. Based on the rumours, we can only reasonably expect the iPhones Pro and Pro Max to drop the notch and replace it with one! -shaped perforation.
So we'll basically have a familiar design here, probably almost identical to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but with a dual camera on the back.
The iPhone 14 Max will be big, with a premium glass and metal design, flat edges, and a slight camera bump on the back. At the bottom, a Lightning port is likely to return, for charging and data transfer.
On the front, around its nearly 7-inch screen, there will be small black bezels, and again – a very familiar notch.
As for color options, here's what we know and expect right now...
iPhone 14 Max colors:
- Vert
- Purple
- Blue
- Black
- White
- Red Product
Check back later, after September 7, when we could have confirmed the official iPhone 14 Max colors, as the ones above were just suggested by an unverified leaker.

So the iPhone 14 Max will be essentially like the 14 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max in terms of size, only its internals will be nerfed. With that in mind, we're expecting to get a 6,7-inch OLED display, likely at 60Hz, although a 120Hz refresh rate has been speculated. This one would be rather optimistic, given that Apple likely wants to differentiate (and elevate) the Pro models from the base iPhone 14 and 14 Max.
Still, that OLED screen will be glass-covered, big and beautiful, with vivid blacks and colors, as you'd expect from OLED screen technology.
As for its pixel resolution, we can reasonably expect something similar to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, namely 2778 by 1284 pixels, 19,5:9 screen ratio, 457 pixels per inch (PPI) .
Always-on display has been speculated to appear on the 14 Pro and Pro Max, but that's unlikely for the iPhone 14 Max. Nevertheless, True Tone will return, as well as HDR support.
Stay tuned for our full review, when we fully test its brightness, color accuracy, and more.
Camera iPhone 14 Max

It's reasonable to expect the iPhone 14 Max to have the exact same dual-camera setup as the iPhone 14. We can expect a wide main camera and a secondary ultra-wide one.
New features in the iPhone 14 series, such as astrophotography, will likely only be supported on the Pro and Pro Max, so not this one.
Still, this iPhone won't be left behind when it comes to photo image quality and video recordings, as even the current base iPhone crushes most, if not all of the competition. 60FPS, 4K video recording with HDR will be present.
iPhone 14 Max performance and benchmarks
We don't yet know for sure whether the iPhone 14 Max will get a new Apple A16 Bionic processor, or pack an older one from previous iPhones, like the A15. Either way, as with all flagship iPhones, we can expect smooth, hitch-free performance.
While the iPhone 14 Max will have fewer specs on paper than the Pro and Pro Max, these will be unnoticeable in actual use. Stay tuned for our full review, when we test how it compares to them and other modern flagships from the Android world.
iPhone 14 Max operating system
iOS 16 brings customizable lock screens and lock screen widgets
The iPhone 14 Max will ship with the all-new iOS 16 operating system (OS), which notably brings customizable lock screens with Apple Watch-like widgets to the iPhone.
Check out our iOS 16 preview article for a full list of all the upcoming new features and other supported iPhones.
Battery iPhone 14 Max
Along with its larger size, the iPhone 14 Max will also come with a larger battery than the base iPhone 14, likely to be on par, or possibly larger than the battery of the 14 Pro Max.
Currently, we're expecting it to be around 4mAh, and if you value battery life, this phone will definitely be worth considering. Older iPhone models with the same battery size are already among our top performers in our battery life tests, and if this iPhone 352 Max gets a newer, more power-efficient processor, that's fine. is even better.
It's plausible that the iPhone 14 Max is one of the best, if not the best, modern iPhones when it comes to battery life, but with that, we should also expect it to be among the best as well. heavier, at least among the iPhone 14 series.
iPhone 14 Maximum Charging Speeds
The iPhone 14 Max will support wireless charging, in addition to wired charging. We can't confirm actual charging speeds yet, but leaks have led us to expect wired charging of around 30W – nothing special.
And, while it hardly needs a mention these days, Apple won't provide buyers with an out-of-the-box charger, just a Lightning to USB-C charging cable. So people will need to provide their own 30W charger to take advantage of the maximum charging speed of the iPhone 14 Max.
iPhone 14 Max audio quality
In the audio quality department, nothing is likely to change, which is not a bad thing either. iPhones, especially larger models like this, have historically offered the best quality speakers, with solid volume and even a hint of bass, compared to other flagships on the market.
Once again, we can expect a bottom-firing main speaker on the bottom of the iPhone 14 Max, with its earpiece acting as a second speaker inside the notch. Although the earpiece never sounds as loud and full as a "real" dedicated speaker, it does help create a stereo effect when watching videos or movies.
If it even needs to be mentioned these days – the iPhone 14 Max won't have a headphone jack, but of course you'll be able to Bluetooth pair any wireless headphones (such as AirPods) or speakers that you have around.
Summary of the iPhone 14 Max
The iPhone 14 Max is shaping up to be an interesting beast – perfect for the good folks who want a bigger screen and battery, but don't want to pay extra for 'Pro' bells and whistles. It will likely be as big as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, with just the basic iPhone 14 specs and features.
Stay tuned for updates and our full review, when we really find out that this new iPhone model is worth saving money, compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
