Okay, so I just got my hands on a brand new iPhone 14 Pro Max. Super stoked, but immediately I’m thinking, “I gotta protect this thing!” So, I started my quest to find the perfect case.
The Obvious First Step
First, I checked my drawer of old phone cases. You know, just in case. I had a few from my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but, bummer, they didn’t quite fit. The camera bump on the 14 Pro Max is noticeably bigger, so the older cases just wouldn’t work.
Digging Deeper
Then, I started reading up. Turns out, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has slightly different dimensions than the older models. That bigger camera and the overall size means you absolutely need a case specifically designed for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
My Experiment
- iPhone 13 Pro Max Cases: Nope. Didn’t fit at all. The camera cutout was way too small.
- iPhone 14 Pro Cases: Also a no-go. This one was obvious – the Pro is smaller than the Pro Max.
- iPhone 14 Plus Cases:These seemed tempting! But, no cigar. Same size in terms of phone, but wrong on the camera size.
- iPhone 14 Pro Max Cases: Bingo! These are the only ones that will fit.
The Takeaway
So, after all my trying and searching, here’s the simple truth: Only cases specifically made for the iPhone 14 Pro Max will fit the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Don’t waste your time (like I almost did!) trying to squeeze it into something else. You need that perfect fit to keep your pricey phone safe and sound!
