Apple just launched the iPhone 14 and the Pro Max. A version known for its durability and which proved its worth this year.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max, introduced last week, is the largest and most powerful phone from the Apple brand. Apple has managed to combine power and endurance with this 6.7-inch device. The device, the most powerful of this new generation with its A16 chip in 4 nm, has features designed to make it last over time.
With ProMotion technology, Apple is able to reduce the screen refresh rate to 1 Hz. This saves a lot of battery and offers an “always on” mode like on the Apple Watch. Work done on the theme of autonomy which is not irrelevant. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the most durable phone in the range and the Cupertino company has worked in this direction.
Already last year, the iPhone 13 Pro Max managed to seduce critics with surprising stamina. According to the first tests that could be carried out on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the autonomy would have been improved again by Apple. According to Tom guide, the iPhone 14 Pro Max could last two hours longer than its predecessor.
Charging: the black spot of the iPhone 14 Pro Max?
According to the evidence of Tom guide, the Apple phone is now the second most durable on the market. Only the Asus ROG Phone 6 Pro manages to hit the 15-hour bar on a single charge. On the Cupertino side, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will stop at 14 hours and 42 minutes.
Another important point when using a phone: charging. If at the last keynote Apple assured that its latest device could recover 50% of the battery in just 30 minutes, the tests always conducted by Tom’s Guide do not go in that direction at all. According to their initial feedback, the battery only recovered 42% in half an hour.
In comparison, the latest Galaxy S22 Ultra reaches 58% battery in 30 minutes. A true benchmark for fast charging, the OnePlus 10 Pro exceeds 90% in half an hour and already reaches a 55% battery in 15 minutes.
iPhone 14 Pro Max: constant improvement
In summary, the benefits of the A16 chip and ProMotion technology save a few hours of battery life on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. While the phone doesn’t perform much better than its predecessor, the improvement is noticeable.
