1. Design-Goodbye to the notch
When you look at the iPhone 14 Pro Max screen, you will see the biggest change in design.
When you bring it side by side with last year’s 13 Pro Max, the first detail you will easily notice will be the notch.
The unloved notch, although smaller in the 13 Pro, is not found in the 14 Pro. The 14 Pro Max welcomes us with a pill-shaped perforated ( called pill and hole ) screen.

2. Display – Always on Display
iPhone 14 Pro Max is the first iPhone model to support the always-on display function. While introducing its features, it was understood that the lock screen widget and the new iPhones will always have the display function.
