That will certainly please those responsible at Apple in California, because the iPhone 14 Pro Max has now received an award and therefore offers the best smartphone display on the market. Incidentally, the manufacturer was once again only able to beat itself, because all other smartphones are once again at a disadvantage.

Apple’s various improvements
Compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro Max has been upgraded by Apple in many areas. The multifunctional notch alternative “Dynamic Island” is certainly particularly striking. But the innovations don’t end there. The LTPO OLED display has a frequency range of 1 Hz to 120 Hz instead of 10 Hz to 120 Hz. The associated lower power consumption is only possible with the new always-on display. There are also a few more pixels and therefore a slightly higher pixel density.
