iPhone 14 Pro Max Earns Best Smartphone Display Award, Replacing iPhone 13 Pro Max

The best display on the market is offered by the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Last year's winner, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, was replaced by the new iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The resolution of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the same as that of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but Apple has made a number of improvements to the device. There's more available display area with the Dynamic Island, as well as a low-power always-on display option, because the display range is from 1hertz to 120hertz.

The peak brightness of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is more than double that of the 13 Pro Max. Testing exceeded Apple's guidelines because the company advertised 2,000 nits peak brightness. The iPhone 13 Pro Max's brightness maxed out at 1,590 nits, which is 33 percent better than the previous year.
