News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max

Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro models has been all the buzz in the tech world lately, so much so that there is even an app that can emulate the feature on Android smartphones. In fact, the app, dynamicSpot, has been so popular that up to this day, it has already garnered over 1 million downloads on Google Play Store!

During the unveiling of the iPhone 14 Pro series at its Far Out event, Apple lauded the series’ Super Retina XDR display as the “most advanced display ever in a smartphone”. A pretty bold claim, but it may be warranted by Apple given how the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s display recently won the DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award with an A+ Display Performance grade.

Since its unveiling by Apple, the iPhone 14 Pro series’ Dynamic Island feature has been the talk of the tech world, with many developers even attempting to emulate the concept on Android. Now, there’s even an app called ‘dynamicSpot’ by an Android developer named Jawomo that would put Dynamic Island on your Android device.

If you are a diehard Apple fan (like this man), you may have gone to Singapore to grab an iPhone 14 series smartphone. Those who haven't will be getting it here soon, but which outlet should you pick your unit from? Well, you can pick yours up from TMT by Thunder Match at midnight this Friday!

Owners of the new Apple iPhone 14 Pro lineup are reporting some weird bugs when using the device’s cameras with third-party apps. These include camera shakes and grinding noises when using the camera on apps such as TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the first smartphones in Apple’s lineup to feature Always-On Display - a feature that has been on Android devices for years now. However, like other ‘common’ features adopted by Apple, the Always-On Display on the iPhone 14 Pro lineup has some notable refinements, including how it can automatically turn off if the user is no longer within the device’s vicinity.

One of the more eye-catching features of the iPhone 14 Pro Series revealed by Apple during its Far Out event has got to be the Dynamic Island utilising the device’s pill-shaped cutout. Well, if you’re not an iOS user and want a similar feature on your device, worry not as a developer has already managed to add Dynamic Island to an Android device.

The next-generation Apple iPhone lineup may be getting a considerable price bump due to the disruption to the global supply chain. This is according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, which in the latest report by his firm believed that the upcoming iPhone 14 may get a USD100 or ~RM443 price increase compared to its predecessor.

Previously, we reported that Apple may finally introduce an always-on display feature in its iPhones, starting with the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series. Well, today, another source is backing up the claim, this time by reliable Apple insider and tipster, Mark Gurman.

If you've been following the iPhone rumours, you may have come across reports stating that the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max would feature last year's A15 Bionic chip, while the Pro variants would be getting the new one. However, the A16 Bionic might not be a huge upgrade, as it's said to be based on the same 5nm process.
