After Apple announced the iPhone 14 series in September last year, a replica of the iPhone 14 Pro Max appeared on the Chinese e-commerce website 1688. The model dubbed i14 Pro Max was listed with a MediaTek chipset and offered for a fraction of the flagship iPhone’s price (up to 90% lesser).
Interestingly, the i14 Pro Max has been listed on AliExpress and is available to interested buyers from around the globe. The iPhone clone comes in two variants with varying configurations and pricing. A MediaTek MT 6753 SoC powers the higher variant, a mid-range mobile processor announced in mid-2015 for smartphones and tablets. The processor is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage onboard. This variant comes with Face Unlock, a Full HD screen, GPS, WiFi, and more. It crams a 2800mAh battery under the hood.
The cheap iPhone 14 Pro Max lookalike is listed with a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate which is doubtful considering the pric. The rear cameras take the design of the iPhone 14 but there are just two working sensors – a 16MP sensor and an 8MP sensor.
The cheaper variant packs a 6.8-inch display and is powered by a MediaTek MT6889 SoC. The processor is backed by 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. For optics, there is a 2MP camera sensor at the front and back while it still retains the iPhone 14’s design.
As for the pricing, the 6GB RAM variant of the i14 Pro Max is priced at $126 while the 2GB RAM variant is priced at $89.69.
