A pple is finally bumping up camera resolution for the new iPhone 14 Pro Max after years of 12MP deja vu. Now, there’s a 48MP primary camera sensor, as well as a new action mode, for advanced video stabilisation. Pixels aren’t everything, though, and last year’s iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max are two of the very best iPhones we’ve tested, and excellent in comparison to their Android peers.Can the iPhone 14 Pro Max and its camera beat out its predecessor, taking those bigger pixels, and marry them with stellar image processing to turn Apple’s latest flagship into the best camera phone of 2022? And how does Apple’s latest iPhone stack up against the best of the Android world, like the zoom champion Galaxy S22 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 12s Ultra with its one-inch sensor?
