iPhone 14 discussions

I assume the battery concern is more to do with iOS 16. I noticed reduced battery life with my 13 Pro Max since updating. Most likely it will be fixed, incl for the 14 PM.

The dynamic island is truly nuts. It has grown on me all day. Such a cool idea.

Must agree, the DI is clever and I like the way it works, regarding the battery I find battery life excellent if AOD is switched off, it uses a fair bit of battery when on (it needs to be darker imo).

There was a whole group of customers moaning and bitching about eSIM issues when I was in the service part of iStore sorting out my trade-in.

I spent about 20 seconds swapping out my physical SIM and continued with life.

No. They’re useless and can’t get it registered on my account, it’s constantly in pending it fails.

I know how to scan a QR code, the issue is not with registering it on my phone.

The max trade-in on a 256GB 13PM is R20k. I was knocked down to R16k on account of the smallest scratch imaginable on the one side, which could only have been caused by Apple's own transparent case because my phone has never not been in it. But then I said I can't accept such a pathetic trade-in, and the tech guy said hang on let me check with the manager, and lo and behold, R20k was suddenly available. So I did the trade-in.

I feel like the EU should fine Apple €1bn or something for the iPhone 14 buttons being 2-3mm lower than the 13 Series, and therefore breaking compatibility with 13 Series cases.

This is why I want to do my trade in at a physical store but it seems their system is in capable of that so I have to do their trade in via courier which sucks. I want to be able to swear at them in person if they low ball me.

My iPhone 14 Fell Off My Motorcycle And Told My Family I Crashed - Jalopnik

I love riding motorcycles, but not as much as I love my family. I’m sure many of you that ride can relate when I tell you how much I love riding my 2022 Livewire One around New York City – and how much my loved ones hate it. So when my new iPhone 14 Pro Max erroneously texted my mom, my...

The phone tumbling down a road at 60mph is a "false alarm"? I think that's the exact type of forces a serious accident would exert on the phone.

14 pro max versus 13 pro max … can you tell which is which and which is better?
 
Anyone know if there is stock of the 14 Pro Max in Cape Town?

It seems I can order online from the iStore for delivery, but I'd prefer to physically buy in-store.

Yeah the second pic with the tree foliage seen is the 14. For me the 13 picture is that bit slightly better especially when zoomed in onto text etc .

Tapatalk seems to be compressing image a bit. Guessed the second pic as looks more realistic and lighting as well.

No way I'm turning AOD off. I glance at my phone constantly now - so nice not having to touch it to see the time, widgets and notifications. I rely on it more than my Apple Watch and Mac to see the time.

I haven’t used Tapatalk in so long, it was giving me a lot of issues even on Pro, has it become better recently?

I've been using Tapatalk Pro on iOS since the day I switched to iPhone earlier this year. No issues with it.
