Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Technical Specifications and Prices in Kenya

Detailed Product Description

Design and Body Build

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is built with premium materials, featuring a robust stainless steel frame and Ceramic Shield front. The design is refined with flat edges and the innovative Dynamic Island. While durable with its IP68 rating and strong front glass, it's still advisable to use a case for added protection, especially for the back glass. Its weight contributes to a substantial and high-quality feel in hand:

Materials:

• Front: Ceramic Shield front cover, which Apple claims is tougher than any smartphone glass.  
• Back: Textured matte glass.  
• Frame: Surgical-grade stainless steel, providing a strong and premium feel.

Design Elements:

• Flat Edges: It features a flat-edge design that is consistent with recent iPhone models, providing a comfortable grip.  
• Dynamic Island: A major design change from previous models, the notch is replaced by a pill-shaped cutout that dynamically adapts to show alerts, notifications, and activities. This seamlessly blends hardware and software.  
• Camera Bump: A significant camera bump on the rear houses the advanced triple-lens camera system and LiDAR Scanner.
• Buttons and Ports: The volume buttons and mute switch are located on the left side, while the power button (with the SIM card tray in some regions) is on the right. It retains the Lightning port for charging and data transfer.  
• Speaker and Microphone: Stereo speakers are integrated, with one located at the bottom and the earpiece acting as a secondary speaker. Microphones are positioned at the bottom, top, and rear for calls, audio recording, and noise cancellation.  

Dimensions and Weight:

• Height: 160.7 mm (6.33 inches)  
• Width: 77.6 mm (3.05 inches)  
• Depth: 7.85 mm (0.31 inches)  
• Weight: 240 grams (8.47 ounces), making it a relatively heavy phone, which contributes to its solid feel.  

Durability:

• Water and Dust Resistance: It has an IP68 rating under IEC standard 60529, meaning it is splash, water, and dust resistant. It can withstand submersion up to 6 meters for up to 30 minutes.
• Ceramic Shield: The front display is protected by Ceramic Shield, which offers excellent resistance to scratches and drops. The back glass is also strengthened, although drop tests have shown that it can still be susceptible to cracking, especially on hard surfaces. The stainless steel frame is more resistant to scratches and dings compared to aluminum.

Colors: 

The iPhone 14 Pro Max was available in four distinct colors:

• Space Black: A deep, dark gray that is professional and sleek.
• Silver: A classic metallic finish with a clean and bright look.
• Gold: A sophisticated and elegant gold tone.
• Deep Purple: A unique and eye-catching dark purple shade that was a signature color for this lineup.

Display

The iPhone 14 Pro Max features one of the most advanced smartphone displays available, offering a large, incredibly sharp, and vibrant viewing experience with innovative features like the Dynamic Island and Always-On display. Its high brightness and HDR support make it excellent for all types of content consumption, even outdoors.

Display Technology:

• Super Retina XDR display: This is Apple's custom-engineered OLED technology that delivers exceptional brightness, contrast, and color accuracy.  
• OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode): Each pixel individually emits light, allowing for true blacks and incredible contrast.  
• LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide): This technology enables an adaptive refresh rate, ranging from as low as 1Hz up to 120Hz, for improved power efficiency and the Always-On display feature.  
• ProMotion: This refers to the adaptive refresh rate technology that can ramp up to 120Hz for incredibly smooth scrolling, animations, and responsiveness, and scale down to save battery when high refresh rates aren't needed.  

Key Features:

• Size: 6.7-inch (diagonal) all-screen OLED display. When measured as a standard rectangle, the screen is 6.69 inches diagonally. The actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and the Dynamic Island.  
• Resolution: 2796 x 1290 pixels at 460 pixels per inch (ppi). This high pixel density results in a very sharp and detailed image.  
• Dynamic Island: A unique, pill-shaped cutout at the top of the display that replaces the traditional notch. It dynamically adapts and expands to show alerts, notifications, and background activities in a fluid and interactive way.  
• Always-On display: Thanks to the efficient LTPO technology, the display can maintain a very low refresh rate (as low as 1Hz) to show persistent information like the time, widgets, and Lock Screen customizations without significantly draining the battery.  
• Brightness:
  • Typical max brightness: 1000 nits. This makes the display easily viewable in most indoor and outdoor conditions.
  • HDR peak brightness: 1600 nits. For HDR content like movies and TV shows, the display can get significantly brighter, enhancing the dynamic range and visual impact.  
  • Outdoor peak brightness: Up to 2000 nits. In bright sunlight, the display can reach this extreme brightness level, ensuring excellent legibility.
• HDR (High Dynamic Range): Supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, allowing for a wider range of colors and greater contrast in compatible content.  
• Contrast Ratio: 2,000,000:1 (typical), contributing to deep blacks and bright whites for a more immersive viewing experience.  
• Wide color (P3): Supports a wide color gamut, providing rich and accurate color reproduction.  
• True Tone: Uses advanced sensors to adjust the color temperature of the display to match the ambient lighting, making colors appear more natural and reducing eye strain.  
• Haptic Touch: Allows you to press and hold on the screen for context-specific menus and interactions.  
• Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating: Helps to reduce smudges and fingerprints, making the screen easier to keep clean.
