The iPhone 14 Pro Max was released back last year on September 16, 2022. This iPhone was not as awaited as other iPhone releases. But there are many things in the iPhone 14 Pro Max which make this device outstand from previous Apple iPhones.
In this blog, we will know the price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max and its full specifications. And also we will know if it makes sense in 2023 or upgrade from iPhone 13 Pro Max.
iPhone 14 Pro Max Overview
The iPhone 14 Pro Max has introduced a new display cutout named “Dynamic Island,” which replaces the notch design that has been utilized since the introduction of the iPhone X.

The Price
The launched price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max was around 1.5 lakhs but of course, it was too costly. If someone wants to upgrade from iPhone 13 Pro Max to iPhone 14 Pro Max is definitely not worth it.

iPhone 14 Pro Max In 2023
So, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is worth the upgrade from the 13 Pro Max? The easy answer is no and I think we already knew this. Unless you absolutely love the idea of dynamic Island and you really want crash detection and satellite connectivity two things I’m very glad I haven’t needed by the way, they are nice to have for peace of mind; they have proven useful in my eyes.
It’s perhaps only worth an upgrade if you’re on an iPhone 12 series or older but this thing still starts at Rs 1,27,999 with just 128GB of storage and at that point, you could save a few hundred bucks and grab a 13 Pro Max which is still a great phone; it just doesn’t have some features found on the new model. Or just wait for the iPhone 15 series coming in a few months there are a number of ways this could go–simply put: The 14 Pro Max is a great phone; there’s no denying that it’s the best iPhone out there currently.
