@@nickackermanchannel can i asku you question i bought iphone 14 pro max from USA and it only works with esim and now i live in africa and there is no esim, is there any solution for that problem?! I use my old iphone 8 plus !
I just bought the 14 Pro Max like a week or two ago.. in 2024. And to be very honest, I can’t complain. This phone is a BEAST. I’ll probably keep it for a few years
@@Dosteyboi it’s still really smooth and fast. Cannot fault it at all. I went to the apple shop and tried the 16 pro max. Just felt the same. Obviously itll be a bit faster etc but these phones are too perfected you just wont notice enough
My 14 Pro Max still working great, and iOS18 looks fantastic. No need to upgrade this year.. updated to iOS 18, got a new case and a fresh screen protector.. holding out for new slim / air design.
I'm struggling to convince myself that it's worth the upgrade. I like the bigger display, better battery, fast charging, smaller bezels, better camera and 8GB of memory but it still feels hard to justify upgrading
Hello. What is your experience overall with 14 PM? And battery health degradation? Many people are facing the speedy battery health degradation issue, I am afraid about that, I just bought an used one with 98% Health.
@@osoifamf i’ve had mine since new, terrible battery life overall, mine is slow and lags all the time and even more since upgrading to IOS 18. i wouldn’t not recommend it but the 13 pm is much better, trust.
@@adyan5453 wow really? That’s kinda disappointing to know. I’m still rocking an iPhone XS Max, and it lasts nearly longer on less battery Health than yours. I’m gonna be upgrading to the 16 pro max in a months time
This phone has slipped out of my pocket at a go kart ring and managed to survive with nicks on the sides and the screen was completely fine since I had a screen protector. Love the phone, will upgrade when the iPhone flip or air releases or iPhone 19-20
Still looks like the newest iphone. Which it is still really new. It's got 120hz, speed, dynamic island, the same design. The new one does have thinner bezels but I think that will be annoying for applying screen protectors with the case.

I’ve decided that this is my upgrade year. Yeah I could replace the battery but for a few hundred more with trade in I could get a better battery, larger screen, usb c and I think it’s about that time. I set aside the money for the upgrade and im all ready to go. This phone has served me well
You still highly should keep your iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max even til now.. let's see what iPhone 16 offer's for.. and anything above 12 series of iPhone is definitely a no brainer not to upgrade..
@@Rico_1809same, I can use my 12 pro until iPhone 18 unless something happens with it. Some I know got the 16 pro and 15 pro but to me I don’t see much of a difference. Mine works, I can call,play music, surf and pay my bills without issues. Still also got 93% battery health so I don’t see any reason to upgrade even if I can afford it. Like buying a new car every second year because you want one.
I honestly think if you got the 14 pro or pro max and it’s still working fine then there is no need to upgrade. Wait for the 17 or 18 I heard it might be a game changer for the iPhone in general
I bought the 14 Pro Max on launch day and it has been solid, and I’ve used the heck out of it. So much so that my battery efficiency was at 81%. So I just did a $99 Apple Care swap and what I learned was these phones are not meant to be left on a charger all night, so I charge to 80% max and don’t let it get below 20% with a 100% charge once a month. I’m keeping this phone for a couple years unless Apple comes out with a book style foldable!
I have the Iphone 14 Pro Max. I Love it, never lets me down and I can edit video and shorts on it seamlessly. Battery is 81% after 2 years, and i'm on it constantly. Great Phone, The lightning port isn't an issue for me. AI will be much better next year. I Will wait for Iphone 17.
I would say it's still looks like the newest iphone. When it's in a case no one will be able to tell if the bezels are thinner. I would say wait till they change the dynamic island so maybe iphone 18 pro
This is the last Pro that doesn’t have every focal length between 1x to 5x being digital zoom cropping. I use 3x a lot for portraits, and that looks really bad on the 15 and 16 Pros, while here it looks native because it has a 3x lens. 2x is digital zoom on all the phones, and 5x isn’t something I use very often. But I love 3x portrait shots.
Just bought a 14 pro max day before yesterday. (Came from 13 pro max) Been loving it so far Amazing battery life as compared the 13 pm Also lighter than the 13 pro max Love the dynamic island also. Solid 10/10 phone if you ask me.
I have the 14 Pro Max and I'm upgrading to the 16 Pro Max. I was able to take advantage of a great deal/trade-in through Verizon, so with that I'm upgrading mainly for the new 48mp Ultra Wide Camera and really intrigued by Apple Intelligence. Upgraded chip/performance and battery is great as well. Everything else is a nice bonus (bezel, size difference, 8gb memory etc).
For me, I can use a lighter phone, with a better ultra wide cam, AI for communication with work and I'm ready to finally get rid of lightening cords. I'm probably going to keep the 16 pro max for longer than I had this one, I think this was a small upgrade but more future proof. I'm not all that excited about having face ID under the screen with a smaller hole punch.
He is absolutely right, for an average user (i personally use the 14 pro max) , these are just nitpicks tbh, a camera for a non professional works just fine if not better, so the increment for newer and better features in regards to 16 pro max is very slim in comparison. rather save your money for other purposes. life works perfectly fine without ai, so i don't really see a need to upgrade just because it looks promising and futuristic. These are just my personal opinion, please don't take it offensively.
I have the 14 pro Max and I’m thinking about selling it and getting the 15 pro after the price drops when the 16s come out . Honestly though I will probably just keep it , it’s still a really nice phone. I do want a lighter and smaller phone and I think the 15 pro would be ideal because the 16 pros all around are getting bigger and probably heavier I think the 15 pro would be ideal
Yep! I am not upgrading my 13Pro she’s seriously in mint condition, my 13PM has some scratches not many but she’s still amazing & it’s not worth upgrading yet!!!!!
Man, compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the 14 Pro Max was really disappointing. not to mention they shrunk the battery a little bit. That’s even worse.
@@nickackermanchannelI really like the stainless steel than the titanium from the 15 pro and 16 pro. It has more durability and after watching those test, I felt my 14 pro max is still hand down way more durable
I’ve really liked my 14 PM these last two years. Easily the biggest phone I’ve ever owned. Today I bought the 16 “normal”. Why? 1. I’m tired of carting around such a big phone. 2. I want the AI features. 3. I kinda like the new camera button. And that other programmable button, which I’m planning to use to control some of my smart home. Time for a change. Adios 14 PM.
I like the 14 Pro Max. I will be buying it soon. And I think I'll love it a lot. I'll be keeping it for a while. Because it is apples last stainless steel phone.😊
89% battery life on my 14pm. I do love the color combo (all black). It’s always in case and always screen protected. I was stoked to see the 16pm thinking to upgrade but now I’m considering waiting for the 17 series. Rumors have stated no Dynamic Island & under-screen front camera plus new rear cameras not to mention Apple AI polished. First year release on hardware and major software changes (capture button and iOS 18) are always a problem. Leaning toward holding out. 🎉
I appreciate this review thank you. Considering i just bought a 14 pm for its weight coming from a 13 pm i gave to my mother as a gift (in perfect condition)
I had my 14PM for almost 2 years.. and its does everything I need it to do, the 16PM is nice and has upgrades in it.. not mind blowing but some and has Plenty of problems too.. so will upgrade my phone to the 17PM next year.. It will be a thinner phone and lots of upgrades.. but too early to know what kind but it will have to make 16PM not the phone to keep or buy at the end of next year.
he's probably going to skip getting the 16 when he has a 15 pro already LOL come on man buy the same phone again Apple want you to. Don't think about it.....DO IT
If you have 14 pro max upgrade to 16 pro max? why? 16 pro max isn't even out to make that call, besides that you think Apple is bring a ton of new stuff? Did the 14 pro max to the 15 pro max have a big upgrade? USB-C? that because Apple was forced to do so......Besides that I like Lightening better than USB-C for the fact I didn't have to buy all new cables, for car, for work, for home. I went from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro max. And honestly I kind of miss my 13 Pro.
I have just the 14 pro with 128 gb of capacity. I am wondering if it makes sense to upgrade to the 16 pro max as I've never had a max phone before. Plus I like that the max models start at 256 gb. At this point, this would feel like a luxury upgrade for me. Would be interested to hear everyone's feedback, thanks.
I have an 11 pro max, not sure where to go, 14 pro max or 15 plus as I enjoy the bigger phone, 16 range is too expensive for me and 15 pro max is a bit pricy too, any advice
As I'm not really interested in AI (plus some of the features won't be available for long time and/or in Europe), I think I'll be keeping my 14PM for some time. Battery could be better, but everything else works perfectly fine. 16 PM looks tempting, but I'd probably forget I have new device in couple of days.
I have the 14 Pro Max, im considering switching to the 16 Pro Max because id Apple Intelligence and usb-c. Currently in Australia the 14 pro max has decent trade in value, I feel that my drop soon
still've to pay atleast half the money upfront though !!! AI isnt out yet and probably wont be until next January so at least wait until 17 for the very least !!! I've 14PM as well and wont be upgrading until there' some meaningful change such as fullscreen display without any cut outs in the name of dynamic island !!!
I was very doubtful on giving up my beautiful 14 Pro Max for a 16 Pro Max, but I did it. And you know why? 14 series will not get Apple Intelligence. This will affect resale prices in the long run. Right now, I can still get a lot of money for my 14 and largely cover the cost of the 16. This value will degrade once buyers realize 14 will not get the shiny new features.
Got mine back in Feb 2023 as of now it’s works fantastic still a beast iPhones just age well the camera is still excellent the a16 still flies and my battery life still last all day no problem even with the health on 90% I have a upgrade I’m debating if I should just get the 15 pro max or just go for the 16 pro max or just keep it till next year and see what the 17 offers I got some thinking to do but if I didn’t decide to upgrade I’d be very happy for another year iOS 18 has behaved so far
Getting rid of the lightning connection and having great cameras all around with a slightly bigger display and the best battery going , way better Siri is enough for me to future proof and upgrade from the 14 Pro Max.
I’ve had 14 pro max since July 2023, I stupidly bought it brand new 2 months before 15 came out thinking 15 pro max would be a lot more expensive, turned out to be a dumb move. I traded in a regular iPhone 13 for it. I’ve been massively tempted to trade in for the 16 pro max, however now as of mid November I haven’t yet. Phone runs phenomenally well, I’m on 90% battery life. What can’t this phone do for a regular user? It’s fast, has great speakers for when I listen to music in the bathroom, the camera is crystal clear when I post snapchats or Instagram, the screen is nice and big for me watching TH-cam whilst I work at home. What is a new phone going to do for me? AI? I don’t need it. I’m thinking of literally running this one into the ground. I’m talking let it go as long as it goes. At 80% I’ll get a new battery from Apple Store, I think the price is £95 for battery and installation. Aside from that, I can’t see this beast letting me down. I’m hoping to keep it going until 2027 if not longer. I see people out here happily rocking iPhone 11’s let alone 12. Not a great deal has really changed, if you have a 12 pro max onwards and battery still holds and you’re not a tremendously techy phone user, rinse the absolute max out of your device. I’m really interested to test the longevity on this one. It’s a sturdy solid phone. It has zero let downs on its features and mine doesn’t have so much as a scratch on it yet. I’m going to test my iPhones capabilities until mid 2027 when I’ve had it 4 years, at which point I’ll reconsider, if it’s still going hard I might run this until the upgrades run out. I’ll weirdly get a buzz out of feeling like I’ve maximised the £1199 spent on this beast. Keep them going strong guys, and invest in second battery’s. It turns your phone brand new again.
Okay so, I had the iPhone 14 Plus for a couple months, the screen went out on me, wouldn’t respond to my touch, so I resold that and now, I just ordered this phone because my whole family uses the lighting cables, still. Luckily I have my trusty iPhone 11 on hand, still a great phone. Excited for this “upgrade”, couple more hundred spent, but, oh well.
Looking for good camera, great battery, good display, great performance and long updates, which should i go for between the 15 pro and the 14 pro max. The 15 pro is slightly cheaper where im at though both in base model (128gb)
How trash exactly Is it like , the iPhone 15 pro max I have the battery life is very bad I only had it for a week as much as I’m in a heavy user it’s only last me about 6-7 hours by 16:00 it’s at 40%
I have 13 pm atm. Will probably skip to 17 pm given the expected changes. Phone is basically the same this year except for ai. All of which we already have just not integrated
Got mine back in Feb of 2023 as of now still feels brand new excellent battery very bright display and the A16 still flies I just hate that it’s not getting ai I do have a upgrade trying to decide if I should get the 16pm or save money and get a 15pm or just keep it another year to see what the 17 offers I’m a bit torn
Was heavily considered the upgrade to black 16pro max from a gold 256gb 14 pro max. However, no changes in the selfie camera and the camera button looks gimmicky at best. The delayed AI features also takes away the mystique of upgrading on day 1. Decision: Looks like another year of old reliable. To keep the experience feeling fresh I might get battery replaced with apple care and rock the phone with no case from time to time.

You say that now, but if you were to buy the phone, you could always return it. I have a feeling you won’t though.
I would wait at least one more year, because of 12gb ram, which makes the phone already way more future proof for future Apple Intelligence Upgrades.

im gonna upgrade from 14PM to 16PM because of the stupid ass lightning connector, its a huge pain in the ass these days

I’m still using an iPhone 14 Pro my battery health is at 92% after 2 years it still gets the job done
Almost 2 years later my 14 pro max is at 90% battery and runs great! Only reason I want to upgrade is the usb cord
Do you hand hurt after holding the iPhone 14 pm a long time ?
I appreciate this review thank you. Considering i just bought a 14 pm for its weight coming from a 13 pm i gave to my mother as a gift (in perfect condition)
I love my iPhone 14 max
Tbh I upgraded from the 13 pro to the 14pro cuz of that purple 😂 but I was hoping they would drop another nice colour for the 16 pro but I guess not
I had my 14PM for almost 2 years.. and its does everything I need it to do, the 16PM is nice and has upgrades in it.. not mind blowing but some and has Plenty of problems too.. so will upgrade my phone to the 17PM next year.. It will be a thinner phone and lots of upgrades.. but too early to know what kind but it will have to make 16PM not the phone to keep or buy at the end of next year.
I skipped the 14 and got the 15 pro last year 👍🏻 I’m glad I did, prob skipping the 16 and getting the 17 next year
I’ve got 14 pro max, gf has 15 pro max, 99% the same phone.
Skip until the 20
Bro nothing to be glad abt it’s the same phone by 99% only thing you’re glad abt is the number 15 😢
he's probably going to skip getting the 16 when he has a 15 pro already LOL come on man buy the same phone again Apple want you to. Don't think about it.....DO IT
@@Paradiiiice 👍🏽 👍🏽👍🏽
My iPhone 14 Pro Max is slow asf now after the release of the new 16 pro max 😭😭
If you have 14 pro max upgrade to 16 pro max? why? 16 pro max isn't even out to make that call, besides that you think Apple is bring a ton of new stuff? Did the 14 pro max to the 15 pro max have a big upgrade? USB-C? that because Apple was forced to do so......Besides that I like Lightening better than USB-C for the fact I didn't have to buy all new cables, for car, for work, for home. I went from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro max. And honestly I kind of miss my 13 Pro.
I have an Iphnoe 14 pro battery health at 97%, rarely use the phone, only for messages or calls, skip upgrade.
Have the 16 PM and will be waiting for a substantial difference before I upgrade again well that’s what I do anyways every time I do upgrade.
So many bots in the comments i wish TH-cam should not allow this
Nah fr
How's battery life?
I’m gonna keep mine till the 18 pro max comes out
I’m loving my 14 PM too bad no AI
I had the 11 pro max and switched to the 15 plus😊
I have just the 14 pro with 128 gb of capacity. I am wondering if it makes sense to upgrade to the 16 pro max as I've never had a max phone before. Plus I like that the max models start at 256 gb. At this point, this would feel like a luxury upgrade for me. Would be interested to hear everyone's feedback, thanks.
I have an 11 pro max, not sure where to go, 14 pro max or 15 plus as I enjoy the bigger phone, 16 range is too expensive for me and 15 pro max is a bit pricy too, any advice
Get ip14 bc new iPhone c charger will give you problems where u can't charge the phone
14 PM, better performance, 120HZ, louder speakers, better construction...
If you have the 14 pro or pro max then honestly there’s no reason to go for the 15 or even 16, but the real deal would start from the 17 and above.
Do all the 14 Pro Max, 128gb, 256gb, 1T, all measure the same? Will they all fit in the same protective case?
As I'm not really interested in AI (plus some of the features won't be available for long time and/or in Europe), I think I'll be keeping my 14PM for some time. Battery could be better, but everything else works perfectly fine. 16 PM looks tempting, but I'd probably forget I have new device in couple of days.
I have the 14 Pro Max, im considering switching to the 16 Pro Max because id Apple Intelligence and usb-c. Currently in Australia the 14 pro max has decent trade in value, I feel that my drop soon
still've to pay atleast half the money upfront though !!! AI isnt out yet and probably wont be until next January so at least wait until 17 for the very least !!! I've 14PM as well and wont be upgrading until there' some meaningful change such as fullscreen display without any cut outs in the name of dynamic island !!!
In my opinion, you can still keep it for at least 2-3 more years
I’ll keep mine for another 2 years.
Hi nick i didnt wait i switched back to android i feel i have wings again ❤😅
If you don't care about apple intelligence, replace the battery and keep it. It's still buttery smooth
Yes buttery smooth it is indeed
I was very doubtful on giving up my beautiful 14 Pro Max for a 16 Pro Max, but I did it. And you know why? 14 series will not get Apple Intelligence. This will affect resale prices in the long run. Right now, I can still get a lot of money for my 14 and largely cover the cost of the 16. This value will degrade once buyers realize 14 will not get the shiny new features.
I have the 14 Pro Max and the only reason I'd considering upgrading to the 16 is because the 16 Pro is smaller but has the flagship specifications.
Got rid of my iPhone 14 Pro Max not too long after purchasing it. Too fricking heavy. Fingerprint *magnet*.
I am also confused to shift from 14 pro max to 16 pro max
Got mine back in Feb 2023 as of now it’s works fantastic still a beast iPhones just age well the camera is still excellent the a16 still flies and my battery life still last all day no problem even with the health on 90% I have a upgrade I’m debating if I should just get the 15 pro max or just go for the 16 pro max or just keep it till next year and see what the 17 offers I got some thinking to do but if I didn’t decide to upgrade I’d be very happy for another year iOS 18 has behaved so far
I’ve a 14 Plus and a friend is offering me his 14 Pro Max with 512GB in $500. Should I upgrade? I’m not sure
i think if you have a 14 pro you should replace the battery for another year and wait for the 17, imo
That’s might not be a bad idea, especially while Apple gets intelligence bugs sorted out
Mines still on 91% health , why would I replace it ?
I have 94% 1 year 3 months old my 14 pro plan to buy 16 plus
@@arunsuresh78716 plus worth it
@@mikldude9376 no reason to replace it
Getting rid of the lightning connection and having great cameras all around with a slightly bigger display and the best battery going , way better Siri is enough for me to future proof and upgrade from the 14 Pro Max.
Not upgrading my 14 pm until the iphone flip
I’ve had 14 pro max since July 2023, I stupidly bought it brand new 2 months before 15 came out thinking 15 pro max would be a lot more expensive, turned out to be a dumb move. I traded in a regular iPhone 13 for it.
I’ve been massively tempted to trade in for the 16 pro max, however now as of mid November I haven’t yet.
Phone runs phenomenally well, I’m on 90% battery life. What can’t this phone do for a regular user? It’s fast, has great speakers for when I listen to music in the bathroom, the camera is crystal clear when I post snapchats or Instagram, the screen is nice and big for me watching TH-cam whilst I work at home. What is a new phone going to do for me? AI? I don’t need it.
I’m thinking of literally running this one into the ground. I’m talking let it go as long as it goes. At 80% I’ll get a new battery from Apple Store, I think the price is £95 for battery and installation. Aside from that, I can’t see this beast letting me down. I’m hoping to keep it going until 2027 if not longer.
I see people out here happily rocking iPhone 11’s let alone 12. Not a great deal has really changed, if you have a 12 pro max onwards and battery still holds and you’re not a tremendously techy phone user, rinse the absolute max out of your device.
I’m really interested to test the longevity on this one. It’s a sturdy solid phone. It has zero let downs on its features and mine doesn’t have so much as a scratch on it yet.
I’m going to test my iPhones capabilities until mid 2027 when I’ve had it 4 years, at which point I’ll reconsider, if it’s still going hard I might run this until the upgrades run out.
I’ll weirdly get a buzz out of feeling like I’ve maximised the £1199 spent on this beast.
Keep them going strong guys, and invest in second battery’s. It turns your phone brand new again.
Okay so, I had the iPhone 14 Plus for a couple months, the screen went out on me, wouldn’t respond to my touch, so I resold that and now, I just ordered this phone because my whole family uses the lighting cables, still. Luckily I have my trusty iPhone 11 on hand, still a great phone. Excited for this “upgrade”, couple more hundred spent, but, oh well.
Looking for good camera, great battery, good display, great performance and long updates, which should i go for between the 15 pro and the 14 pro max. The 15 pro is slightly cheaper where im at though both in base model (128gb)
I got 14 pro max and waiting for 17 pro max. I feel like 16 pro max hasn't got that much considerable upgrades
Should I trade in from regular 14 Pro with 87% bh from February 2023 to 16 Pro Max or wait for the 17 Pro Max?
Def just get a new battery and keep it. New iPhone 16 pro is literally the same
@@Imbuedhasan Ok, thanks!
Just get the 17 Pro Max and replace the battery is what you said right?
@@Imbuedhasan No he meant to keep 14 Pro Max Just Change battery and keep until iphone 19-20 comes out because 16 did not have much
BATTER IS TRASH. But all in all, i want Apple Intelligence so i'm upgrading. Great video and accurate. Thank you.
How trash exactly Is it like , the iPhone 15 pro max I have the battery life is very bad I only had it for a week as much as I’m in a heavy user it’s only last me about 6-7 hours by 16:00 it’s at 40%
I have 13 pm atm. Will probably skip to 17 pm given the expected changes. Phone is basically the same this year except for ai. All of which we already have just not integrated
I will definitely wait until the iPhone 17 comes out
100% battery 1tb my 14 pm is still kicking ass
Got mine back in Feb of 2023 as of now still feels brand new excellent battery very bright display and the A16 still flies I just hate that it’s not getting ai I do have a upgrade trying to decide if I should get the 16pm or save money and get a 15pm or just keep it another year to see what the 17 offers I’m a bit torn
I keep it because of gold stainless steel.
Was heavily considered the upgrade to black 16pro max from a gold 256gb 14 pro max. However, no changes in the selfie camera and the camera button looks gimmicky at best. The delayed AI features also takes away the mystique of upgrading on day 1. Decision: Looks like another year of old reliable. To keep the experience feeling fresh I might get battery replaced with apple care and rock the phone with no case from time to time.
