FULL STORY ======================================================================

Were big fans of the iPhone 14 Pro Max here at TechRadar, and its 6.7-inch display is a major factor in our calling it truly the best of everything in the current iPhone world.

Now, DisplayMate the recognized authority on mobile picture quality has awarded Apples latest flagship its highest display performance grade (A+) after the device set 15 (fifteen!) display performance records during
testing.

DisplayMate found the iPhone 14 Pro Max's Super Retina XDR display to be capable of reaching a max brightness of 2,300 nits thats almost double the nit-count of the iPhone 13 Pro Max (which boasts the same display size and resolution) and some 500 more than that of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
(based on Samsungs own claims from earlier this year). Let there be light

Despite sharing dimensions and resolution, Apples most recent top-end iPhone improves upon its predecessors display by adding a handful of new features, including an always-on display mode and a new Dynamic Island centered around the phones sensor.

Evidently, though, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is also significantly brighter than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, having now usurped its older sibling as the recipient of DisplayMates Best Smartphone Display award. Interestingly, Apple
advertises the iPhone 14 Pro Max as offering up to 2,000 nits of brightness yet DisplayMate managed to record a figure of 2,300 nits. We're big fans of the iPhone 14 Pro Max's 6.7-inch display (Image credit: TechRadar)

The diagnostics company has also credited Apples latest handset with awards for highest absolute color accuracy, smallest shift in color accuracy,
highest image contrast accuracy and intensity scale accuracy, as well as for smallest change in peak luminance.

Ironically, the displays used by Apple in the iPhone 14 Pro Max are actually produced by Samsung, so wed expect the latters next flagship likely to be
the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to match or even exceed Apples latest handset for brightness.

For now, though, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the brightest smartphone on the block even if the Samsung S22 Ultra remains our top overall pick of the best phones money can buy in 2022.
