I used the iPhone 13 Pro Max for a year — and this is the iPhone 14 I want

Apple is set to announce the iPhone 14 sequence at the Apple occasion September 7. We’ve heard numerous tantalizing rumors about the telephones over the course of the final year, particularly the Pro fashions. I’m simply as excited as anybody else, particularly since I’ve switched to iPhone full-time.

For the final year, I’ve used the iPhone 13 Pro Max as my each day driver, reveling in its energy, stunning 120Hz show, and superior cameras — to not point out that killer battery life. However one factor has actually bugged me since final September: the bulk.

Whereas I have large arms, I actually don’t like giant telephones from an ergonomics standpoint, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max actually ranks amongst these. With its expansive 6.7-inch show and sharp edges, it is not a system that I can simply use with one hand, nor can I achieve this comfortably. And that irks me to no finish. Utilizing this handset has been a love-hate relationship, although admittedly totally on the love facet. 

Whereas I have large arms, I actually don’t like giant telephones from an ergonomics standpoint and the iPhone 13 Pro Max actually ranks amongst these.

So it ought to come as no shock that I’m most wanting ahead to the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, assuming Apple retains the similar display screen measurements. I actually get pleasure from the smaller type issue, particularly since there needs to be function parity between the two Pro fashions like final year (we hope).

Each ought to have 120Hz refresh charges, plus the rumored always-on shows, 48MP fundamental cameras, 3x telephoto lenses, and the A16 Bionic chipset. Hopefully, Apple doesn’t do the similar factor it did with the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, with the latter getting a increased optical zoom (2.5x versus 2x) and sensor-shift stabilization.

The iPhone 14 Pro has me extra excited than most different telephones, save maybe the Pixel 7 Pro. Apple continues to supply the greatest smaller handsets with the common iPhone and the non-Max Pro. I, for one, am glad for it and I’m certain a lot of different individuals are, too.

Not everybody desires a behemoth of a smartphone — nor can we want to sacrifice on energy or options — particularly one with dimensions like the iPhone 13 Pro Max. For instance, the (*14*)OnePlus 10 Pro additionally has a 6.7-inch show, however the system is narrower and taller, and thus simpler to deal with than the iPhone.

When the iPhone 14 launches, you’ll be able to guess I’ll go for the Pro. I can’t wait to have a smaller telephone once more.
