In this video, I compare the new 48MP wide camera, the ultrawide camera, the new 2x crop mode, and the 3x telephoto cameras that hasen't changed since last year against the 13 Pro Max's camera setup and the previous 12 Pro Max's cameras in a wide variety of tests and scenarios to test out new modes like Action mode, Cinematic Video and Macro shots along with everything else to see if it's actually worth upgrading to the iPhone 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max if you care about camera quality!

Very little difference… except for pro-raw on the 48mp Sensor.
It makes me really feel like my 11 Pro Max is worth keeping.
And the price.
Think 11 Pro Max and an iMac… or just a 14 Pro Max 🧐
I'm honestly surprised to say I prefer the style of processing on the 12 Pro Max most of the time. While the 14 Pro is technically better in many scenarios, the super sharpening really doesn't look good. And I'm not willing to deal with the headache of 70mb files. Another quirk I noticed comparing my wife's 14 Pro to my 12 Pro Max is that the 14 Pro often slightly under exposes images. They're still exposed properly but on the darker side. Lastly when comparing dark areas of the frame of interior shots, the noise/grain has only marginally improved. 2 years used to be a colossal difference in camera performance.
Great video. Definitely not enough to upgrade from 12 Pro Max on camera alone, and not from 13 Pro Max at all. I know making this was a lot of work, but if you keep producing great content you will keep growing. Props.
I have a 12 Pro Max - I thought about upgrading, but I think I’ll just get a new battery…
@@PeterbFree Or you could pick up a used 12 pro max very inexpensive. 11 pro to 12 pro was a big leap in cameras and battery. I have 12 Pro Max. Wife had 11 pro max and just upgraded to 14 pro. We use our cell phone cameras professionally and the difference between 11 to 12 was big.
I have the 13 Pro Max and I try my best to skip a generation. I can’t justify buying the 14 Pro Max at this point. Thank you for making it easier 😄
I’ve been bummed so many times by my 13 Pro Max camera performance, but looking at this comparison, I can tell I’d be even more upset with the 14 Pro.
Excited to give this ProRaw to HEIF shortcut a try though. Thanks Max and fam!
@@kirkydaturkey in person the 14 pro max camera is so fire. This video does it no justice!
@@RCB504 i would say the same i had a pro max 13 now got the 14 pm and the in person experience is much greater the video doesnt do justice

Dude! This is such incredible work. Never seen a camera comparison video as good as this. Appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it.

Check out his channel.
Your channel is great.
No wasteful intro.
Concise and straight to the subject matter. Thank you
The amount of time you took just to do this video is incredible 👍🏻, this was the comparison I wanted to see you really went deep in detail and made me happier about my 14 pro purchase while most of the other reviews took 1 or two photos and said they looked the same!…I love to watch these videos because it tells me the strengths and weaknesses of the cameras and while it sucks that in some things got better in some situations it got worse but I’m still happy with the 14 pro :) overall a great camera , just needed some software tweaks here and there, good job once again !
I was so excited when I saw that you finally posted this video, since I love these in depth comparisons between each generation when it comes to camera. Thank you for doing this, amazing video as expected!
This is the one I waited for. I really appreciate this comparison. I hope you continue to make them each year.
Love the comparison to multiple generations of devices. Many of us don’t upgrade devices every year, so the multi-generational comparison is truly useful. Doing the same for laptops, etc. would be great. Just think about how long people keep their devices (3-5 years) before upgrading. Then use that timeframe as the basis for the comparisons. That would be huge for anyone trying to decide if they should make the investment to upgrade. THANK-YOU!
Excellent job, especially for a photographer perspective. Huge compiling work! Congrats!
Great video Max and the team. I’ve been waiting for this video for ages!
Thanks indeed for these exceptional efforts.
Outstanding video! You are a huge contribution to the consumer electronics community.
(I found your channel YEARS ago when researching the OWC ThunderBay DAS, and decided to buy based on your video)
I gotta say, even on the examples where you specifically say the 14 doesn’t look much better, in almost every example it is noticeably sharper and more natural compared to the others on a 32” UHD monitor. I wouldn’t say they look “>$1000 upgrade” better, though.
I appreciate the hard work you put into making this video. I ordered the 14 max and coming from the 12 pro, I am not too thrilled with how it’s looking.
Thank you! Don't know if I want to go through this amount of work again next year, but if it gets enough views I might. I could have made 3 other videos instead of this one lol but I like to see the differences instead of Apples Marketing.
@@MaxTechOfficial thank you a lot for your efforts! Hope it will pay off!
@@MaxTechOfficial i care most about this iPhone 14 video than all the rest. Hopefully the video does well! Thank you!
@@MaxTechOfficial no! I always watch every single year when you do those videos. Keep it up next year too!!!
To notice the differences between these pictures, for an ordinary user you really have to start splitting hairs!
Wow this could’ve been broken up into two or more videos. Great comparison! Appreciate all the work you put into this
Appreciate you guys doing all the hard work making these videos.
This is what I'm looking for, so glad someone made this! Very useful, thank you so much.
I must say that the 12 pro max is not far behind 😊
Yep, ima just get that one 🎉
12 pro max camera was a complete beast and had the most warmest and shiner photos of the iphone history
@@AMAAD_DURRANIthanks , im so confused in buying either 12PM or 13 or 14....
@@user-rh2dl7sk8rnote he used ‘was’ and ‘had’
not far?
Thanks for all the work your put into this. I really like the blend of a pro photographer perspective with an everyday user perspective. Your results and thoughts really go a long way for a casual photographer who likes to shoot with both DSLR/Mirrorless and with a phone.
Thank you! I had to keep commentary very simple and short because the video is so long already.
Now I know why This comparative video took more time. You did an amazing job with it, I think we all appreciate your hard work and good job, excellent video guys !!
I appreciate these in-depth reviews. I am not one of those that does an “auto update” purchase on any schedule. These videos just help me cut through all the Apple hype and find out what is new. I do find it crazy that some make a spontaneous purchase decision based on a justification they were HOPING to find that has, in reality, little to no real benefit. I spend little more on a professional studio camera that will last for a decade. Apple has some great products but their mastery of hype exceeds their meaningful innovations.
The BEST iPhone comparison channel. YOU and only YOU do the extreme job of doing it seriously. Thank you!
I came from the iPhone 12 Mini, so for me, the iPhone 14 Pro was an upgrade. Couldn’t be happier!
Thanks so much for the review- really helpful! Thanks for making these videos!
I think it was worth the effort you put in. It is an excellent and complete comparison. Thank you very much! you got a new fan.
Thumbs up for the work you put in to make this video it must have take you a lot of time. Great work, great job, and great video mate, thank you. Very informative.
Massive props for the no biased comparison 😍🙌🏻. Huge fan from India.
Respect for your beyond in-depth comparing 🙌🏻🔥🙏🏻👀✨
Thank you!
Thanks for all of the work. Great review!
Coming from XS Max, the 14 Pro Max has been an incredible upgrade. Not just the cameras, everything!
As always perfect comparison video from the Max!
This video has all the facts and comparisons I wanted to see. Thanks!
I must say, it's the best comparison I have come across. Great job! Thank you!
I was waiting this video since 2020
Thanks
Max Tech
It was the best comparison i have ever seen thanks a lot grate work 👌🏻
I really like your camera comparison test. Can you make a video using different iphone lenses because I am super excited what more those lenses can do!
It's incredible how much your son looks like you! Your kids are fantastic models.
Congrats on a great video; I can only imagine how much work went into it.
I always like your videos before watching it. Support for you all the way.
Well done, sir. This is incredibly helpful.
thanks for the effort put in these video comparisons
The comparison I've been waiting for.
It will improve. The new sensor needs a lot of post processing and the software is very new and shows. The same thing happened when Samsung release the 108MP sensor in the S20 Ultra.
oh my God, that must've took a lot of work and effort to make that video . big thanks .
Great test - thx. IMO the biggest differences are in lowlight situations where I see the 14 Pro in front. But daylight shots are very close.The dynamic range on iPhones is pretty average and I don‘t like pictures where the sky is blown out. As an iPhone 13 Pro Max user I must admit that S22 Ultra shots look better when it comes to sky details and saturation.
I have watched like more than 20 camera comparison videos on 14vs13 so far and this one is absolutely the best.
Thank you!
Thank you for the comparisons.
I’ve been hoping someone would do this comparison thank you
Loving the Vortex hat, keep up the great content Max!
Best camera comparison by far!! THANKS
Fantastic comparison. Thank you for posting.
Your Doing A Great Job Max! Really In Depth!
Great work and thank you Max!
these "tech reviewers" kind of need a reality check. saying that the 12 pro max "sucks" is not true at all, yes obviously the 13 and 14 will do better but the 12 still has a fantastic camera, even the 11. i just upgraded from a 6s plus to the 12 pro and the difference is actually mind-blowing, the camera is incredible. the upgrade from the 12 or even 11 to the 14 is not worth it.
The expectation for camera on the iPhone is unique for each person. I have the 13 Pro. I went home back in February and spend time with family and it was night time. So it was an opportunity for me to try out the Night Mode with my 13 Pro. Everybody were blown away by the quality of the photos. I was shocked because I was a bit skeptical. I have to admit that the camera of the 13 Pro is impressive. I'm not a professional photographer by any means. Being an art major who was required to take Photography 101 back in the late 80's when digital camera was unheard of, I know a good quality photo when I see it. I've seen people with the most expensive cameras and have taken horrible photos. There is a science into taking photos. Understandign the lights and the F-Stop and aperture and so forth. A lot of stuffs have to be factored in and taken into consideration on how the photo is being taken.To sum it up, my 13 Pro does what I expect it to do and I'm pleased with the results. Great informative video as always!
This is the best, in depth comparison. Been waiting a long while for this and your delivered a great video! ❤
Glad you liked it!
the video capabilities comparison is much appreciated, especially the ultra-wide, for me as a housing photographer/videographer, thanks!
This was really helpful thanks!
I’m upgrading to the 14 pro max from my 12 pro max. Better cameras, AOD, brighter screen, 120hz and better battery. I think it’s a worthy upgrade plus I’m getting a great deal by trading my 12 pro max in for it. Can’t wait!
This video is amazing. Well well appreciated 👍
Thank you for the excellent work!!
I actually like using 14 pro with proraw 1.7x crop (40mm eq) instead of 2x, which gives a slightly higher than 12mp image and looks fantastic without the enormous file sizes
what do you mean? If i use proRAW my photos have more than 50MB :( Is any way to lower the size?
@@WeezyZZ Try what I said and take proraw photos with a 1.5 to 2x zoom and check the file sizes (should be smaller). Size is less of an issue with the raw to heif shortcut converter from max tech although it is an extra step.
What is 40mm eq? Should i change it somewhere? I used crop 1.5 and file size is 27MB instead of 56mb in crop 1.0. Is this size ok or still too big?
I think we have reached the development in phone cameras that there isn’t a truly noticeable difference between a camera from the same company unless you go 2-3 generations newer.
The only way to see such minute pixel peeping differences is to put them side by side, but those days of taking a photo with a new phone and instantly knowing it was way better without needing to compare are over.
Bad for tech enthusiasts however good for everyone. It means your current phone feels ‘good enough’ for longer and there’s less pressure to get a new one. This is actually the best thing for the environment tbh.
It’s also the reason I felt very little need to upgrade from my pixel 4xl. Even though the new phones (pixel 6, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung s22U) had finally surpassed it because the hardware differences just couldn’t be overcome with software any longer, the pictures it still put out where plenty good. That’s why devices like the pixel 6a can still take great photos that 95% of people would be happy with
Sorry for the long rant
Came back to comment two things: You have a beautiful family and I respect the hustle to make these videos! They are so informative. The time, effort and dedication to make them shines. All the best 👏
Thank you so much! This was so much work you wouldn't believe it.. Probably 3X more work than most of our videos and 10x more than some of the easier ones.
@@MaxTechOfficial I believe it! But that is what separates you guys from the other channels that I’ve watched. You take your time to make sure everything is A+ quality and accurate. Definitely my favorite channel to watch to stay informed. Been a fan for years. Wish I could have held out for the iPhone 15 next year as it’ll be a redesign, but charging my Mini 3-4x’s a day for the social media work I do is not ideal compared to charging my iPhone 14 Pro once a day. 😅
@@MaxTechOfficial Also, what’s the church you go to that was in this video and the others? It looked awesome! I go to Wellspring Church in Toms River NJ and always looking for new churches to follow and connect with 😊
@@MatthewVlossak I know I sound crazy typing this but whatever lol. Scrolling through the comments and I found yours and had to say something because what are the chances I run across a person I at least somewhat have a vague connection with in real life lol. I used to work with your sister, and we have some mutual church friends lol. And here you are on the youtubes. small world.
@@mootsym What a small world it is! Haha
this is impressive content, thank you!
Thanks for a great and very thorough comparison video, your effort is not waisted. I've been so exited to see this. The improvements are truly minimal between the 13 pro and 14 pro.
Dang, awesome video, amazing detail and transitions are top notch. Thanks guys!
I especially enjoyed the Night mode comparison, I had a suspicion that the newer iPhone’s night shots are actually darker and moodier than the 12 Pro Max’s, and I was right!
Amazing , thanks to your video I have been inspired to stick with the XS max
Thank you MaxTech Team for this long awaited video 🤩 Was waiting for this video as you have mentioned in your earlier review video and at least for me, I can calmly say the differences at least to an average joe like me will be waiting for the iPhone 15 instead thus giving me more time to save up for it 🙂 Love the camera/video comparisons that you guys make to help people like me to decide whether to upgrade a not, keep upo the great work :D
It's strange how some video reviews make me think the quality of the 14 over the 12 is massive, but then I see a comprehensive review like this and realize the difference isn't really that big and I'm better off waiting for the 15 to upgrade. Thanks for the video!
Those videos are take in a control enviorioment
There won’t be a big difference between the 14 and 15 either.
@@firstdbzmaker of course not, but I’ll be coming from a 12 pro max so the difference should be more noticeable by the time the 15 comes out.
@@tattoojunior106 I have the iPhone X and still feel like there's not much difference between the X and 13.
@@tattoojunior106 I have a 12 pro max and I'm honestly thinking of upgrading to the 14 just so I can finally have a 120hz screen
Amazing review, thank you.
Good comparison for all the last 3 years top end iPhones, was waiting for this video… really appreciate the time and effort making this video!
Currently have both 14 Pro and 12 Pro Max… As a family we really don’t zoom and notice the minute details as much… 😅 but good comparison though! 👍🏼
I can always count on Max Tech for different Apple and Samsung products 🙂
Upgrading to the 14 pro max from the 12 pro max as my current phone is starting to slow down and I need more storage. Glad to see some of these improvements
nice video thanks for the explanation
I think the issue is the new 24mm equivalent lens. Apple hasn’t had enough time to finesse the new lens especially considering the 48 MPX sensor and new processor. I think time and firmware updates will hopefully see improvements.
Does the 14 pro allow for optical lens switching while recording in 4k60? 12 and 13 use digital zoom when you switch to the telephoto during recording. Even outside, don’t know why. Great work on the in depth comparisons. Thanks!
Best comparisons! Love!
Thanks a lot - so great work
Great video. I’m certainly keeping my 13pro after watching this.
This is what I waiting for. Needed proper 12 pro comparisons
Any tips on taking pictures of jewellery? I usually use the macro feature.
thank you!
terrific test run of the 3 cameras thkU
Thank you for the unbiased review! Finally a big TH-camr who values advocating improvement over views and likes from the Apple fans. iPhones have been having problematic lens flares and dynamic range for too many years. They also need some time to catch up on improving their pixel binning algorithm over competitions.
Great comparison, thanks for putting in all the work on this video. The new 14 Pro camera doesn't seem that much better the 13 Pro. Thanks for sharing.
The amount of work you put in this video is incredible the editing must of been a nightmare! 👏🏼 Is it worth it to have proRes and proRaw on all the time? I have a 13 pro and dont do any crazy editing just extremely basic stuff
This is really interesting, I'd be really interested to see an iOS16 vs iPhone14 an iOS17 iPhone14 next year to see how much of a difference iOS makes.
Thanks for your sharing
Love the comparison!
I made a massive jump from iPhone 7 Plus to the 14 Pro Max, so I'm happy! but seeing this comparison, I think Apple did not had much time to work in the new 48 MP sensor. Perhaps a future software update will have notorious changes in video and photo quality.
New subscribers this video needs it’s respect!! Awesome video!!
Great video , decided to watch this as me and my friend seem to have noticed the 13 picking up more detail in the background of photos over the 14 pro max by comparing them , it’s a bit odd , your comparisons seem fine , you reckon there is something we are missing ?
The biggest reason to upgrade to 14 Pro is the 48MP ProRAW shooting. The images are just next level above what you can get out of a 13 Pro. You’ll see the potential if you edit in Lightroom.
I've noticed some pro raw shots look a little flat compared to normal pics. Would the iphone photos editor be sufficient?
@@mootsym The pro raw shots are designed to be flat compared to JPGs. ProRAW removed all of the post processing and allows you to do most of the editing to make the photo the way you want it. iPhone Photos editor is ok but Lightroom Mobile is the industry standard.
Wow amazing to line all three flagship phones up like that. Thank you for all the hard work to make the comparison. I think next years iphone 15 will be much better. This iphone was more of an “S” cycle upgrade for me over the iPhone 13
It's simple really, this is the best camera comparison of the last Pro Max on the internet. Thank you for this SERIOUS work and for not wasting 23 min of my life
Wow the close up of his face at 6:27 the 14 looks like a DSLR vs the older ones looking like phone cameras! That was crazy.
The 14 pro max looks amazing iam waiting for my deep purple 14 pro max to come so exited! And also well you try the new mous case limitless 5.0 on these new iphones that would be cool.
As someone said, it’s the 48 megapixel shots that are absolutely stunning! If you’re not into working with your photos and printing high quality or watching on a bigger screen it’s of course less interesting to upgrade from 12 or 13. I think most won’t use the 48 mp option. But I will 😊 Oh, and I upgraded from XR so everything is better for me..😂
I upgraded from the 6s. Lol.
I feel like everyone just forgot about photographic styles on iphone since the 13. I feel like these differences in warmth and saturation can be addressed to preference through those
Excellent video. Thank you.
Of course the 2x digital will look great. Works like dx mode on full frame nikon d800 bodies. And because it’s working with closer to centre of the fx lens, the lens is working at its best, without edge of lens distortion or softening.
Now the idea that digital zoom is terrible is because the resolving power of the lens is out resolved by the sensor. You often see pro grade lens with about 35mp effective resolution. Does not mean you get a 108mp sensor, you will get 108mp worth of details, the lens must catch up, or some image stacking. So when you crop into the 108mp, the sensor is not under resolved by the lens. There are tricks to get more resolution like Deep Fusion, or in camera world image stacking, foveon sensor in sigma cameras has very detailed 15mp 3 sensor stacking. Panasonic olympus and hasselblad also does sensor shift image stacking which has its limitations but does make up for lens lower resolution. So for a decent digital zoom. The sensor crop and lens crop should yield something at least 8mp worth of resolution and details. If the lens can only 24mp of details, a 2x crop will get you maybe 6-8mp worth of detail, I failed in math.
Maxtech use to be a camera channel in case some newer subscribers are not aware of.
This comparison was insane, in a good way! You guys are probably the hardest working crew on TH-cam. No idea how you put out so much content. Sometimes it's filler to be sure, but this one is special.
I am definitely not upgrading to a 14 pro max from a 12 pro max anymore after seeing this video. Thank you for this video Max Tech.
The minimum focusing distance thing is good find. I never seen anyone else talking about it.
