-
- The iPhone 14 Pro Max had a glorious debut at Apple Park on September 7th, 2022.
- Alongside its sibling the iPhone 14 Pro, it came with enhanced performance and elegance.
- It is not surprising to find friends taking pictures using a member’s iPhone and not the Android phones the rest of them own.
- iPhone has been known for its loftier camera capabilities, and the current iPhone 14 siblings have taken it a notch higher.
- This is a review of Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro Max smartphone.
Pill-shaped dynamic island camera
-
- Its standout feature is its pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen known as the dynamic island.
- Appearing on both iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the cutout houses the front camera and face recognition sensors.
- For the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the dynamic island occupies a small section of the 6.7-inch display.
- Apple intelligently coined the term dynamic island for a good reason.
- The pill-shaped cutout is not only a camera but also acts as a convenient notification panel.
- Notifications pop up within that small area where you can poke at them to check.
- It is a smart feature that deviates from the normal setup where a notification buzzes on your screen and literally obstructs you.
- The dynamic island is a much-needed relief from having to pull down the notification screen to read notifications.
- It is also not a distraction as you watch content on your screen.
