All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. What Apple hasn’t done this year – again – is introduce USB-C charging, with the iPhone 14 Pro still featuring a Lightning connector on its bottom edge.

Both this Pro Max and its younger brother, the 14 Pro, become the first phones from the Californian company to say goodbye to what many people considered the worst part of the previous design. Instead, we welcome the so-called Dynamic Island, a new "window" of notifications that grows or shrinks depending on the number and type of notifications. In fact, it's something like a dynamic, pill-sized, floating notch...
