- Design of iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock
The iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock features an identical design to the original from the overall form to every detail including the screen, back, buttons, colors, etc. Therefore, for those who appreciate aesthetics and want to get the device early, there's often a tendency to buy the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock.
However, does purchasing the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock ensure all the necessary features for usage? Are there any risks associated with buying the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock? Let's analyze further!
- Features of iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock
The Locked iPhone market has long been a lucrative niche for grey market traders in the Vietnamese market because it not only ensures similar features to official iPhones but also comes at a much lower price. However, in recent years, as Apple tightened its grip, they implemented measures to reduce the functionality of Locked iPhones, causing this market to suddenly falter.
This year, Apple has gone even stricter by removing the SIM tray on the iPhone 14 Pro Max to fully transition to eSIM usage, putting an end to workarounds like using SIM interposers.
As a result, the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock is now likened to a higher-configured iPod Touch. Thus, if users want to make calls, they have to use the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock alongside another iPhone or an international iPad.
Another important note is that the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock supports users in using apps like Telegram, Viber, Skype, but they need to be connected to wifi for effective operation.
One more crucial piece of information is that up to this point, technicians have yet to discover a way to use ICCID codes to bypass security on iPhones as well as Apple servers, making the experience with the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock now more challenging than ever.
For this reason, according to managers from places selling the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock, this version seems to be chosen by very few. It's even less popular than the iPhone 13 Pro Max Lock. Even the iPhone Lock from the US, which used to be highly sought after, doesn't attract much attention to the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock LL/A version anymore.
How much is the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock? Is it really worth buying?
cheaper than the international version by 12 million VND.
Compared to the general situation of previous years, the appearance speed of the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock in the Vietnamese market this year is indeed much earlier. The price for the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock can be as follows:
- The iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock 128GB version is priced at over 24 million VND.
- The iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock 256GB version is priced at over 25 million VND.
The price for the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock is basically lower than the imported ones by 12-15 million VND. Generally, buying a Locked iPhone has always involved many risks; it's just that people are momentarily blinded by the tricks of technicians, so they still stubbornly buy them.
But with the dizzying changes on the iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock this year, I think either buying the cooled-down-priced iPhone 13 Pro Max or buying the genuine iPhone 14 Pro Max is better than buying the cheaper iPhone 14 Pro Max Lock, which despite its lower price, comes with limited functionality and lacks careful repair options.
