Question of the Day: What is the ultimate French toast topping?
Bugs may or may not affect everyone, but the battery issue has been widely reported by a fraction of other iPhone 14 owners. I guess you're just lucky.
Nah, I can’t imagine them being R5,5k better than the originals. Still happy with those for now. You?

Yes, I picked up a pair this week, I'm quite impressed as they are better in every respect. Sound quality is a big improvement especially bass, noise cancellation is now almost total and transparency mode actually sounds decent now.
It's quite weird that you can charge them with lightning, wireless or watch charger.

I concur.
An added (massive) bonus for me is that whatever miniscule tweak they've made to the shape of the bud has resulted in a more comfortable fit for me, and, I've finally been able to pass the
seal test.I still can't hey... I plug my pair in
Don't you wanna prevent the case from getting all scratched up?

That’s interesting. I might have to rethink my position now.
And to be fair, I’m sure my son would love a pair of 1st gen hand me downs

Did I mention they also finally have volume controls on the stalks?

The charging side of the watch charger is smooth plastic so unlikely to scratch, similar to MagSafe.

Don't get the 14! It's just a re-skinned 13.
Get the 14 Pro. It is a big upgrade over the standard 14... cameras, screen, SoC, everything

That is so wild, ‘Home & Lockscreen’ taking up battery quite a bit on his phone.
My one question is does everyone who has battery drain in iOS 16 have Background App Refresh switched to On?
I did a top up on my 13 PM (iOS 16.0.2) before going out for lunch today, left the house at 14:00, it’s now 17:49, I’ve been using Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube on and off on 5G along with a few other apps, I am still on 96% as I comeback home, seems like normal battery usage to me. I keep Background App Refresh off as I have not seen it benefit my usage at all, but I once caught the Reddit app misbehaving when I left this option on.

Why is it weird? Wireless charging is one of the best features.
And now adding the watch charger as well just gives so many more options to customers.

Well your screenshot only shows about 20-25 min of usage since your last charge at 14h00. A 4% drop to 96% with only 20min of phone usage isn't what I'd consider stellar.

How many other accessories have four separate charging methods (I forgot it's also MagSafe)?
The weird is in a good way.

I’m at 81% now. I’m quite happy. Going to only charge it when it hits 20%, that will probably only be tomorrow sometime.
Having seen some of the videos, I saw huge drops form 100% down, I’m definitely not experiencing that.
This is what it looks like now…let’s see how it goes overnight, I want to see if there is some major drain when not in usage at all.
