Unbox Therapy's iPhone 14 Pro Max Leak: Physical Mockup, Design, and Features

Apple's iPhone 14 replica mockup was shared publicly by famous tech YouTuber Unbox Therapy.

Using what he claims is a one-to-one replica created by third-party case makers who had access to detailed specs and configurations for Apple's new upcoming flagship phone, the YouTuber Unbox Therapy has provided a hands-on look at the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 14 Mockup

The iPhone 14 Pro Max's first physical mockup look was featured by the famous tech YouTuber Unbox Therapy. The video shows the alleged design that captures what the iPhone 14 Pro Max will look like based on the inside information, leaks, and rumors around the new iPhone.

Lewis Hilsenteger, also known as the popular YouTuber Unbox Therapy, stated in the intro of his video that the iPhone 14 Pro Max mockup was shipped to him from China. As seen in the video, the specifications of the physical iPhone 14 Pro Max look like they are made with the highest quality.

Definitely at par with what Apple associates its devices with. As reported by MacRumors, the replica contains an iPhone 14 Pro Max design that is, for the most part, consistent with the images and dimensions provided by 91Mobiles, Max Weinbach, and ShrimpApplePro.

For instance, the mobile device has a modestly increased overall thickness, and the protruding camera module on the back has grown in all three dimensions (height, width, and depth) due to the redesign.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max clone that Unbox Therapy shared looks with matching these design rumors, and it also appears that the handset has undergone some more or less significant modifications.

As seen in the YouTube video, the iPhone 14 Pro that he is holding has no antenna bands on the corners of the device. Additionally, the power and volume buttons are somewhat larger, but it is impossible to verify whether these differences accurately reflect the design.

iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max Design and Expectations

Apple's features for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have had numerous leaks and rumors for the past few months. One of the most mentioned ones is the new pill-shaped design of the devices. It is rumored that the upcoming iPhone 14 will veer away from the traditional notch design.

As previously reported here, the notch at the top of the iPhone 14 is rumored to be replaced by a pill-shaped design that allows it to blend seamlessly with the texture and feel of the iPhone. This rumor about the exterior design also aligns with what Hilsenteger unboxed in his YouTube video, an iPhone 14 Pro Max that does not have a notch.

As rumored, it appears that this feature will be exclusive to the Pro models of the iPhone 14, while it is speculated that the notch will be included on ordinary devices. Another expected move from the iPhone devices is the discontinuation of the iPhone mini's production.

However, there have not been numerous rumors, leaks, or reliable information as to how Apple will handle the pricing and specifications of the released Pro, Pro Max, and regular iPhone 14 models.

A lot of iPhone enthusiasts are waiting for the iPhone to have a USB-C port. However, it seems like it will not be considered this year with the iPhone 14 Pro.

With the flashy specs and design of the iPhone14 mockup by Unbox Therapy, it is important to note that Apple has still not officially confirmed any specs or features for the iPhone 14 coming this year.

Although fans are patiently waiting, with this year's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference coming up next month, the company may reveal it to the public ahead of time, including the release of Apple's new operating system, iOS 16.
