COWABUNGA DUDES!
🥷🐢😬



The painted section on the side of the phone where the sim tray used to be is a lol, although the 13 demo in the store had it too so I guess it’s not new?

Did a new phone experience with just my iCloud logged in and forgot my iMessages won’t come down. That’s lame. Luckily I have them on my Mac, but still. Also didn’t seem to know my wifi passwords either unless keychain was lagged, but it had the website ones up fine.

Still wishing I could have both fancy Lock Screen depth effect and widgets at the same time. Maybe time to dedicate one each to different focuses to enjoy both.

It took 4 people nearly 2 hours at AT&T to activate the drat thing. Also the manager took a freshly rebooted XR I was trading in and swiped up the app switcher and promptly closed like 30 savestated apps and said I should keep on top of that to keep my phone running faster, and man that dumb belief is never going to die is it.

I cannot wait until apple makes a shatterproof phone and I will buy it on day one so I can finally be free of cases. About once a month I drop my phone in such a way that it would have definitely shattered had I not had a case put on.

I dont know why this revolted me as much as it did. It felt like I was there.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Very smooth transfer process from AT&T to Verizon. Thank you Duckman2008.

Also I forgot to downgrade to mainline but the new phone just asked me if i wanted to join beta with the phone when setting it up which saved a lot of time.

Note to loving self though: open up the podcast app you are going to use before leaving, they're all babies about cellular downloads on first use.

Coming from a 12Pro to 14Pro the always-on screen + 120hz refresh or whatever is such a good upgrade. The camera bumps are huge tho :trumppop:

That’s the cutout for the 5G mmWave antenna and it’s on the opposite side from the SIM tray anyway.

Kinda annoys me that the non-cellular iPads still have those!


Also now I'm on an iPhone mini, all other phones seem like ridiculous tablets for giants. Unless the battery life turns out to truly suck, I can't imagine going back. Even if they discontinue the mini, I hope the SE morphs into this form factor or something.

I went from a 13 pro max to a 14 pro and I hope I can get used to this child sized screen. I do like that it’s lighter but that’s a real devils bargain.

i remember when all this was fields
Coming from a busted launch-day X with original battery at 75% health, broken lightning port, green-lines-of-death on the screen, ghost touch issues, and dead zones with no touch sensitivity, the 14 Pro Max is quite the upgrade, god drat. Cool And Good city over here. I've heard a lot of 'oh once you've had 120hz you can't go back' and I could really see that being the case.
Like, when I'm scrolling through Wikipedia, the words are still perfectly readable as they scroll past, even when going quite fast. I don't think I'd ever really noticed that they weren't very readable in motion before, but yeah.

SIM tray is on the left side below the volume buttons on at least the 13 Pro and 14 Pro

Holy poo poo the rear cameras on this phone are huge. Is this how Apple finally gets us to use a case? I’d need a dad-tier otter box to make them flush.

Yeah, I have a bit of trouble getting it to catch properly to start charging on my wireless charging power bank now. The bump is just enough to mean the positioning needs to be spot on.

Hmm I dunno that’s a real head scratcher. Maybe if there were some sort of notifications settings menu somewhere.

How long before the camera bump is big enough that it actually makes the phone lie at a comfortable angle for reading when you set it down on a table?

They still start at the bottom, your options are just how condensed they are.

Most people look at their phone so much UI changes like this just replace your muscle memory very quickly. I thought the swipe based controls would take forever to get used to too.

Isn't that where the apple pencil charges? I know it is on my mini, and looks exactly like the mmWave cutout on my 13. AFAIK the Mini 6 doesn't have mmWave in any model either.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread but the new Lock Screen will make way more sense once the live notifications are available.

Get an adhesive pop socket and stick it onto a baseplate like this and you can just pop it off to wireless charge.

I’m a cheapskate (and I use it with a ring instead of a pop thing, and the ring dies of metal fatigue after a while so it’s cheaper to just buy a new ring to stick on the old plate.)
