Compared to the latest iPhone 14 Pro Max, the latter has advantages including ProMotion technology (120Hz refresh rate), an Always-On display, Dynamic Island, Emergency SOS via satellite, Crash Detection, a 48MP main camera (versus 12MP), Autofocus on the front camera, a 3x optical zoom, Dual eSIM, increased battery life and 2000 nits peak brightness outdoors, Cinematic and macro video modes, and ProRes as some new features.
When Apple announced its new iPhone 14 series smartphones in September, it also dropped the price of refurbished iPhones. Apple first started selling refurbished iPhones in Canada back in September 2021, expanding outside the USA. The iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro were the only phones available at the time.
