Apple iPhone 14 Pro

Apple launched the iPhone 14 Pro in India in September 2022 at Rs 1,29,900 for 128 GB. It replaced the notch with the Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped cutout that expands into live notifications for timers, music, calls and navigation. It was the first iPhone with an always-on display and the debut of the A16 Bionic chip.

The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion scales from 1Hz to 120Hz and reaches very high outdoor brightness. The stainless steel frame and textured matte glass feel premium, but the 206 g weight makes it dense for its size. Performance from the A16 Bionic was class-leading, and the phone remained cool in most workloads.

The main camera moved to a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor with a 2x crop mode, joined by a 12 MP ultrawide and 12 MP 3x telephoto. ProRAW at 48 MP gave photographers more flexibility, and video quality set the standard against the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro. Battery life is good for a full day, while charging remains slower than most Android flagships.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro Max launched in India in September 2022 at Rs 1,39,900 for 128 GB. It shares every feature of the 14 Pro, including the Dynamic Island, always-on display and A16 Bionic, but stretches the screen to 6.7 inches and adds a much larger battery. It became the most aspirational phone in Apple's 2022 lineup.

The 6.7-inch ProMotion OLED at 1290 x 2796 is extremely bright outdoors and smooth at up to 120Hz. The stainless steel frame makes it heavy at 240 g, and long one-handed use is tiring. Performance from the A16 Bionic was top of the charts, and it handled demanding games and 4K ProRes video with ease.

Cameras are identical to the 14 Pro: 48 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide and 12 MP 3x telephoto, with excellent colour consistency and video stabilisation. The big battery delivers among the best endurance of any phone of its year, often lasting into a second day. Against the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it lacked a 10x lens and stylus but won on video and long-term software support.
