Is the iPhone 14 Pro Max still worth buying in 2026?
The 14 Pro Max is the budget route into a QDN Certified iPhone. It still runs the current iOS, the cameras hold up for everyday photos, and the savings against a new phone are the largest in our range. Apple has typically given each iPhone six or more years of major iOS updates, so a 2022 phone should keep receiving them until around 2028. The trade-offs are the older chip, Lightning charging and no Apple Intelligence.
Buying it QDN Certified changes the maths against a new phone: the price is pre-owned, but the warranty is 15 months, returns are 30 days, and the case, screen protector and cable that Apple no longer includes are in the box.

iPhone 14 Pro Max questions, answered
What chip does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have?
The iPhone 14 Pro Max runs Apple's A16 Bionic. It handles every current app and game comfortably, but it is not one of the chips Apple supports for Apple Intelligence.
How much RAM does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have?
6 GB. Apple does not publish RAM figures; this is the widely reported number from teardowns and developer tools.
Does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have 5G?
Yes. Every iPhone from the iPhone 12 onward supports 5G, including the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Our phones are carrier-unlocked, so 5G works on any US carrier that supports the phone.
How long does the iPhone 14 Pro Max battery last?
Apple rates the iPhone 14 Pro Max at up to 29 hours of video playback on a new battery. On a used phone the real figure depends on battery health, which is why every QDN listing shows the battery health percentage and no QDN Certified iPhone ships below 80%.
How much does the iPhone 14 Pro Max weigh?
240 grams, about 8.5 ounces.
Does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have USB-C?
No. The iPhone 14 Pro Max uses Apple's Lightning port. USB-C arrived with the iPhone 15 generation. A Lightning cable is included in the box with every QDN Certified 14 Pro Max.
How many cameras does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have?
3 rear cameras: 48 MP main · 12 MP ultra wide · 12 MP telephoto. The telephoto lens gives 3× optical zoom. Plus a front camera with Face ID.
Does the iPhone 14 Pro Max support Apple Intelligence?
No. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or any iPhone 16 or later. The iPhone 14 Pro Max runs the current iOS but without those features.
Is the iPhone 14 Pro Max waterproof?
It is water-resistant, not waterproof: rated IP68 for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 6 metres when new. Water damage is not covered by any manufacturer's warranty, and ours is no exception, so treat the rating as protection against accidents rather than an invitation to swim.
Does the iPhone 14 Pro Max have satellite SOS?
Yes. Emergency SOS via satellite and Roadside Assistance via satellite are supported on the iPhone 14 Pro Max in the US.
Does the iPhone 14 Pro Max still get iOS updates?
Yes. The iPhone 14 Pro Max runs the current version of iOS. Apple has historically supported each iPhone with major updates for six or more years, so a 2022 phone should keep receiving them until around 2028, with security updates for longer.
Does Apple still sell the iPhone 14 Pro Max?
No. Apple stopped selling the iPhone 14 Pro Max new in 2023. The way to get one now is pre-owned, which is why a QDN Certified 14 Pro Max comes with the things a new phone would: a 15-month warranty, 30-day returns, and a case, screen protector and cable in the box.
How much is a used iPhone 14 Pro Max?
We are out of stock on the iPhone 14 Pro Max at the moment. When it is in, a QDN Certified 14 Pro Max is priced well below Apple's $1,099 launch price, and each listing shows storage, colour and battery health for that exact phone.
