Review: iPhone 14 Pro Max, a refined and functional evolution

iPhone 14 Pro Max Features

To talk about the Dynamic Island it is necessary to start first by talking about the screen. Today we have a 6.7-inch device, with slightly smaller edges than in its previous version and the best brightness of an iPhone so far. The colors that the screen presents are sharp and vibrant and when it comes to blacks, contrast is key. With that said, I want to focus on this new feature that sets the Pro family apart from the rest.

When Dynamic Island was released there were some comments about whether it would really be useful, about the space it takes up, among other things, so I received this new tool with a bit of skepticism. Today, after more than a month of having used this function almost every day, I can assure you that it is something that I enjoyed the most about this iPhone.

Not only did it become a handy way to switch between songs without having to go back to the audio platform, but I find it a tool that improved my productivity and helped me to be more multitasking, with the ability to jump between applications. No problem (note, for now only Apple applications and a few third-party applications are available).

This is a clever integration between a physical aspect of this generation of Apple phones and its operating system, thus giving utility to a space that many considered wasted.

In this sense, there we can see if our phone was unlocked with FaceID, pay with Apple Pay, if it was silenced, if we are receiving a call or if we are sharing processes with two applications that work at the same time, and thus, return from one to another becomes very simple even when we are in traffic.

While it’s important not to use your phone while driving, at times when I was stopped at traffic lights it was super easy to go from my Waze screen, to changing music without having to go to Apple Music, and from there to even quickly reply to a message. without having to return to that other application.

Today, this tool has certain functions, so I’m excited to think when other third-party apps start to squeeze the integration that it has with the iPhone and receive more and more smart notifications and possibilities to interact with the apps in a simple and intuitive way.
