Comparing the cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro Max with the iPhone 13 Pro Max

With the addition of a 48-megapixel lens and improvements in low light performance for all lenses thanks to the new Photonic Engine, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max bring about some significant advancements in photography technology. Working on a thorough comparison between the new iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 13 Pro Max over the last week has allowed us to determine exactly how much better the iPhone 14 Pro Max can be.
Despite having a 48-megapixel lens, the iPhone 14 Pro models use pixel binning to merge four pixels into one, producing photographs that are just 12 MP unless ProRAW is turned on, which allows for 48 MP images. There isn’t a noticeable difference in quality between a 12-megapixel shot taken with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and one taken with the iPhone 13 Pro Max, especially in good lighting.
For better HDR, you will notice some improvements in the shadows and highlights, and the colors on the iPhone 14 Pro Max may appear to be more bright, although this change is often slight.
The largest improvement is when you enable ProRAW for those higher-quality 48-megapixel shots. The 48-megapixel image has far more information than the 12-megapixel image from the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but the file size is a significant drawback. Considering that 48-megapixel photos might be over 60MB in size, your iPhone’s storage will be soon depleted. However, if you want to capture a special moment in the best possible quality, turn on the ProRAW option, and you’ll notice a noticeable improvement above what the iPhone 13 Pro Max can offer.
Apple has developed a new 2x telephoto option that reduces the image from the full quality and uses the 48-megapixel camera. The iPhone 14 Pro models now have an entirely new focal length, whereas the iPhone 13 Pro models can only go as far as a 3x telephoto lens. The quality is greater than what you get with the telephoto lens even with the crop because it’s the main camera. A 2x telephoto is a fantastic length for portraits or if you simply want to zoom in a little.
Apple claims that the Photonic Engine, which enables Deep Fusion earlier in the computational photography process, improves all camera lenses by at least 2x, but it’s difficult to see that improvement completely in side-by-side Night Mode photos taken with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
There is a change in the iPhone 14 Pro Max Night Mode shots, but it is not drastically different. There is less noise and light reflection. There aren’t any significant improvements because the iPhone 13 Pro Max was already excellent; nonetheless, some of the iPhone 14 Pro Max shots may appear brighter.
Regarding video, Apple enhanced Cinematic Mode and added Action Mode, which is designed to replicate the steadiness you get with a gimbal. Cinematic Mode is now more adaptable for individuals who choose to shoot in 4K because it supports 4K at 24 frames per second in addition to the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s maximum 1080p resolution.
Action Mode is helpful for capturing a pet or a child running or for taking action shots since it does, in fact, increase stability while you’re shooting video while moving. You definitely won’t want to always have it on because it only supports 2.8K resolution, which is a drop from 4K, but it’s a great function if you require the additional stabilizing. Many times, the built-in default stabilization is sufficient and you won’t need the stabilization increase Action Mode offers.
The cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro Max are undoubtedly an improvement over those on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but most users won’t use the additional functions on a regular basis. If you currently own an iPhone 13 Pro Max, upgrading for the camera is definitely not worth it. However, there are other features to take into account, such as Dynamic Island, always-on display technology, Emergency SOS via Satellite, and Crash Detection.

Fans of Final Fantasy 16 disagree as new debate over the squeeze gap begins

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).
Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.
Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.
What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

Sony was named the top video game publisher of 2022 by Metacritic

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.
Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list. The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.
The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.
According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:
- Sony Interactive Entertainment
- Paradox Interactive
- Activision Blizzard
- Focus Entertainment
- Take-Two Interactive
- Capcom
- SEGA
- Annapurna Interactive
- Humble Games
- Devolver Digital
