iPhone 14 Max – a formidable competitor of Galaxy S22 Plus and Pixel 6 Pro

Apple is said to be killing off the iPhone 13 mini, replacing it with the iPhone 14 Max, which is expected to launch in September 2022. The iPhone 14 Max is rumored to be equipped with a 6.7-inch LTPO display – the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which promises to be a smartphone line for big-screen phone fans. The product will probably go on sale for $899 (about VND 20.6 million), $100 higher than the iPhone 14.

If all the above rumors are true, then the competition between iPhone 14 Max and Android smartphones will be fierce.

iPhone 14 Max and Google Pixel 6 Pro

The Google Pixel 6 is also equipped with a 6.7-inch screen and has the same price as the iPhone 14 Max. The Pixel 6 Pro could have a number of advantages over the iPhone 14 Max, including a screen with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, higher than the iPhone (90Hz), and a telephoto camera with 3x zoom.

However, the Pixel 6 Pro has some drawbacks such as battery life. In a battery life test surfing the web on 5G, the Pixel 6 Pro only reached 7 hours and 55 minutes while the iPhone 13 Pro Max lasted more than 12 hours. Predict iPhone 14 Max will achieve similar results.

Apple’s phones will also outperform the Pixel thanks to the new A16 Bionic chip. Rumor has it that Apple will probably use the current A15 Bionic chip for the iPhone 14 series and add more RAM, although the performance will still outperform the Pixel’s Tensor chip.

iPhone 14 Max and Galaxy S22 Plus

The Galaxy S22 Plus can take a few advantages with its high refresh rate display (48-120Hz) and telephoto zoom camera. In addition, unless Apple makes an upgrade, the S22 Plus can beat the iPhone 14 Max in charging speed, as it has a capacity of up to 45W, while Apple is said to be developing a 30W charger.

However, the Galaxy S22 Plus starts at $999, which is $100 more expensive than the rumored iPhone 14 Max price. In addition, the S22 Plus only lasted about 10 hours on the battery test, which is not an impressive number, so the iPhone 14 Max could still be able to pass.

In addition, the 1st generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chip and Exynos 2200 equipped on the Galaxy S22 Plus can hardly compete in performance with the chip equipped with the iPhone 14 Max.

All in all, if the iPhone 14 Max launches this fall for around $899, it could spell trouble for the Pixel 6 Pro (even the Pixel 7 Pro), as well as the Galaxy S22 Plus.

Apple may be at a disadvantage due to the lack of telephoto zoom and high screen refresh rate, but buyers will likely forgo that in order to get a large-screen iPhone at a more affordable price than the high-end models. Pro or Pro Max level.
