CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Since the inception of the iPhone in 2007, Apple has dominated the market. The company has not just taken a large percentage of the smartphone market, but it has also been able to create a high demand for its smartphones.

The iPhone of any year commands large respect and followership in the mobile market, which is why it always has a secondhand value. Unlike other phones with smaller screens, 4-inch or 5-inch screens that are easy to handle and pocket-sized, the iPhone devices are quite bulky in size.

The iPhone 4 has a display of 3.5 inches and with the release of the iPhone 4S and 5, the display size is increased to 4 inches. However, when it comes to handling and pocket-sizing, people still prefer smaller-sized phones due to their light-weightiness.

The demand for iPhones continues to increase as more and more people are beginning to appreciate the advanced technology put into them. Although the 4-inch screen is quite acceptable, people have always wanted smartphones that are not just smaller in size but also cheaper and with bigger screen sizes. Apple has thus released such a smartphone with its iPhone 14 Pro Max. The device is definitely one of the best phones available today.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max is the larger version of the iPhone announced during its release. The device has a screen size of 6.7 inches, which has a resolution of 1284 x 2778 pixels, and also runs on Apple A16 Bionic (5nm). It has an inbuilt storage of 128GB 6GB RAM, 256GB 6GB RAM, 512GB 6GB RAM, 1TB 6GB RAM.

It has an impressive 12MP + 12MP + 48MP shooter rear camera equipped with dual LED dual-tone flash and HDR (photo/panorama). Capable of recording /30fps, /30/60fps, /60/120/240 fps, 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60 fps), ProRes, Cinema mode, and Stereo sound recording. The front camera is 12 MP + SL 3D, which can shoot /25/30/60fps, /60/120fps, and Gyro EIS. Other phone features include fast and wireless charging, a 5G network, Face ID, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, and IP68 dust/water resistance (up to 6m for 30 minutes).

If you're an iPhone 14 Pro Max user, you know that there's a lot to keep track of. From phone settings to app permissions, it's easy to get lost in the details. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your iPhone 14 Pro Max.

All Apple devices running iOS 16 comes by default with an email application with which you can receive and send emails.

Before you begin configuring email on your iPhone 14 Pro Max, ensure you have the necessary information:

Email address (example@gmail.com)

Password.

In case it is not a Hotmail, Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, or Outlook account, you need to know if it is a POP or IMAP account and both incoming and outgoing servers.

Estimated time: 10 minutes.

Step 1

To set up an email account in iPhone 14 Pro Max, first, go to Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max settings; this is the gear icon on your Apple screen.

Step 2

Find the "Passwords and Accounts" section in the settings; it has a key icon; press and the email accounts you have configured in your iPhone 14 Pro Max will appear.

Step 3

We will see all the email accounts configured in our iPhone 14 Pro Max, both active and inactive; if it is the first email account you set up in your Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max you will see this empty list. Click "Add Account."

Step 4

The iPhone 14 Pro Max makes it simple to set up several popular account types, including iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and Outlook.com. Click on the icon for the email provider that hosts your email account if it is one of these. The system will connect to the selected service and ask you for your email account or username and password; in a few steps, your email account will be set to Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max. If your email account does not correspond to any of the displayed services, click "More."

Step 5

Click "Add Email Account," enter your name (the one you want to appear in the messages you send), your email, the password for this email account, and a description to identify it to Apple. Press "Next."

Step 6

You need to enter the incoming server, usually mail.yourserver.com or imap.yourserver.com (changing tuoserver.com for your domain). In any case, consult your mail provider for the configuration.

Step 7

Choose the type of account you want to set up in your Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, IMAP, or POP.

What sets an IMAP account apart from a POP or POP3 account?

Setting up an IMAP account in iPhone 14 Pro Max keeps a copy of emails in the cloud, i.e., on the mail server; If you move or delete an email from a folder on your Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max, the change will also be made on the server and consequently on all other devices that are set up to use the same email account. 

On the other hand, if you set up Apple with a POP or POP3 account, the emails are downloaded to the device and can be deleted, read, or changed without affecting the rest of the devices that have the same email account.

This setup is generally used for shared accounts where several people want to keep emails that others have read as NOT read or for those who have mail on their mobile and computer and don't want the changes to be reflected on the other device.

Step 8

Enter your email account and password in the "username" section or user name; you need to enter your full email account, for example, mail@example.com.

Step 9

In the server, you have to enter the incoming server, usually mail.myserver.com or imap.myserver.com (change myserver.com to your domain). In any case, consult your mail provider for the configuration.

Step 10

Enter your outgoing server or SMTP server; again, you need to enter your email account and password of your email. Press "Next" and "Save" to complete your iPhone 14 Pro Max email configuration.
