Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Camera test

OTHER AVAILABLE TESTS FOR THIS DEVICE

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro share the same rear camera specs, as well the same A16 Bionic processor, so as expected, the results of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max camera are exactly the same as those of the iPhone14 Pro.

We’ve included a few examples from our testing to show the similarities between these two models. But for a more in-depth look at the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s rear camera photo and video performance, we direct you to the full test results of the iPhone 14 Pro.

Overview

Key camera specifications:

  • Primary: 48MP sensor, 24 mm equivalent f/1.78 -aperture lens, second generation sensor-shift OIS, Dual Pixel AF
  • Ultra-wide: 12MP sensor, 13mm equivalent f/2.2-aperture lens, Dual Pixel AF
  • Tele: 12MP sensor, 77 mm equivalent f/2.8-aperture lens, OIS

Autofocus irregularity and speed: 20Lux Δ0EV Tungsten Handheld
This graph illustrates focus accuracy and speed and also zero shutter lag capability by showing the edge acutance versus the shooting time measured on the AFHDR setup on a series of pictures. All pictures were taken at 20Lux with Tungsten illuminant, 500ms after the defocus. The edge acutance is measured on the four edges of the Dead Leaves chart, and the shooting time is measured on the LED Universal Timer.
DXOMARK CHART (DMC) detail preservation score vs lux levels for tripod and handheld conditions
This graph shows the evolution of the DMC detail preservation score with the level of lux, for two holding conditions. DMC detail preservation score is derived from an AI-based metric trained to evaluate texture and details rendering on a selection of crops of our DXOMARK chart.

DXOMARK CHART (DMC) detail preservation score per focal length
This graph shows the evolution of the DMC detail preservation score with respect to the full-frame equivalent focal length for different light conditions.The x-axis represents the equivalent focal length measured for each corresponding shooting distance and the y-axis represents the maximum details preservation metric score: higher value means better quality.Large dots correspond to zoom ratio available in the user interface of the camera application.
