The iPhone 14 Pro max is the most famous and expensive iPhone in the recent market. It is an upgraded version of the iPhone 14 Pro. If we compare these phones, we will see some upgrades such as up to 1TB storage, A16 Bionic chip, ProMotion, an always-on display, 1,600 peak HDR brightness, up to 29 hours of video playback, etc. This also comes with an improved phone camera that has a 65% larger quad-pixel sensor as well as second generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization.
Why use different model numbers?
Apple has already released 5 model numbers for The iPhone 14 Pro Max, which are A2651, A2893, A2894, A2896, and A2895. It should be mentioned that these models are made for different countries and regions. It is the main reason why they have differences in LTE, 5G bands, and the availability of physical sim card slots. Though you don’t need to worry if you buy a first-hand Apple phone from the store in your country, you have to consider checking the number before purchasing a second-hand iPhone 14 Pro Max. These numbers can indicate the country, carrier, and storage of the phone. Each of these models is developed while keeping in mind all the requirements and priorities of people of the countries where the model will be available. Let’s discuss it
