Branch Nvidian posted:Looking at upgrading quite specifically due to Verizon offering me $1000 in trade-in credit for the phone I paid $1000 for back in 2021. Storage concerns on my 13 Pro are something of a justification, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry about my device’s storage utilization fairly often. Oh yeah, well that’s a good reason to do it. General reminder it’s a 3 year contract. 14 pro should be fine in 3 years but just fyi you really can’t upgrade early through Verizon. Although you can buy a phone outright from apple in 1 or 2 years and trade in said 14 pro towards it. Apple’s T&C say the phone has to be paid off, but they gave me no grief last December. Mileage may vary.

Battery life on my 14 Pro has been excellent honestly. I had a Google Pixel 5 previously and the 14 Pro feels like it has twice the battery that the Pixel 5 did, ESPECIALLY when I'm using apps like TikTok and games and such. They will put a small dent in your battery but still give me more than enough to last a full 24 hour day without a charge

Fine now. I was previously a max person (xs max), have big hands, but the new max phones are clownish imo, and the “small” ones have grown to be just wide enough to fit my thumbs on the keyboard.

Fun fact: the iPhone 14 Pro footprint is roughly the same as the Pixel 5, just thicker and a decent chunk heavier. My girlfriend still has a Pixel 5 and the thing feels flimsy as gently caress when I hold it now. And yeah, battery usage wasn't great the first week or two, but everything has settled down quite well now! Honestly very impressed with it overall

Went ahead and ordered the 14 Pro non-Max. Went to Bullstrap.co to get a new case to go with it, redeemed some loyalty points for a $15 coupon, and had a BOGO 50% off deal. Well the BOGO deal wouldn’t let me use my $15 off reward code, so if anyone wants it PM me or something. Don’t want it to go to waste.

my 11 Pro's battery life is dreadful these days... I actually used to leave my battery-charging stand unplugged at work because the phone didn't need it. Not anymore! I was looking at the leather cases for new phones, and I see they aren't open on the bottom anymore?? How much of a lip is there? I guess this is because they switched back to more defined edges on the phone after the 11... but I've gotten really used to smooth flicking "Home" gesture with the 11-era open case design, seems like it'd be a shame to lose that.

The official Apple cases are all like that and have a small lip that does keep the screen off of a table. Many 3rd party leather cases still leave the bottom open though.

Just to be contrary, I feel like the 14 Pro has worse battery life than the 13 Pro. Could be the always-on display, because it seems worse to me on weekdays (when my phone is mostly out of my pocket, face-up on a desk) than weekends (when my phone is mostly in my pocket.) Could also just be placebo.

I just started testing this this week because I was curious, my phone is on a stand throughout the day and that thing wakes up CONSTANTLY. I disabled it on Monday when someone posted about getting a 14 Pro but was worried about battery, it reminded me that I wanted to see the difference with/without. Already noticing a difference, enough that I'll probably keep it off

On my iPhone 12, when I am in a cell dead zone, I get the SOS indicator in the top bar. But since this phone doesn’t have satellite SOS, what does that even mean?

My dream is for them to release a bigphone with a iphone 6 era sized camera with no bump at all. I don't use my phone for professional photography so I'd be happy with low rez grainy shots of my cats.

Do we talk about cases in here? Just got the Bullstrap case for my 14 Pro. Case on the left is for the 14P, one on the right is my 13P’s case after 16 months of daily use, was originally the same color as the 14P’s case. Picked up the South Beach case for my mom as well.

Is there any way to set different wallpapers for light and dark mode? I’ve used the stock light/dark ones for the past year and a half and I finally switched wallpapers to something more personalized

So I have CarPlay enabled on my 2017 GLA45, and if I look at my phone it shows the "use carplay when locked" slider enabled, but somehow when I plug the phone into my car in a locked state the MB still shows "no carplay device connected" until I unlock the phone. Anyone experience something like this? Going to try to re-pair my phone with the car next time I'm in it, but just felt odd since it seems like that's exactly what the slider should enable. e: Latest iOS on 14 Pro.

You could probably also use a switch wallpaper action triggered by focus change. I haven't tried any of this so you might have to mess around a little but I hope it can get you started

I want my phone to take the histogram of the lock screen images I've set up and automatically change based on light levels. The "pick a random image at X time interval" is fine but there's room fro Apple to do some fun stuff there. Maybe even tie it in with cloud coverage, if it's cloudy out it gives you a gloomy grey photo.
