IPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a large high-end model of the iPhone 14 line developed by Apple Inc. It was announced in a special event titled "Far out" on September 7, 2022. Pre-orders began on September 9 and it is scheduled to be released on September 16, 2022.

New features
The iPhone 14 Pro Max features the new Apple A16 SoC with a new Display Engine to support its always-on display. The "notch" was also replaced by a hole-punched display which is part of a new feature called Dynamic Island. It also features a larger new 48 megapixel main camera and brighter redesigned flash. The new Photonic Engine also improves low-light performance. Like other iPhone 14 models, it adds Emergency SOS via Satellite for areas where ground-based wireless services may not be available. 2 years of emergency service will be included free with new iPhone 14 models. Crash Detection senses sudden changes in sound levels, cabin pressure, direction, and speed up to 256 s to determine whether a severe crash has occurred and automatically call Emergency SOS if the user does not respond.

Supply chain reports
Industry reports indicated that Apple would be moving the Pro models of the forthcoming iPhone 14 product line from a notched screen design to a "hole-punched" design (at one point dubbed the "exclamation point") to accommodate the front-facing cameras and various sensors in 6.06 and 6.7-inch models.

Reception
Unlike the poor reception to the iPhone 14 Plus, strong pre-orders for the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max caused e-commerce servers in China to crash, pushing backorders up to 7 weeks after the initial release date. This led to Apple increasing manufacturing orders with Foxconn from 90 to 95 million units for the overall iPhone 14 product line.
