Did the 14 Pro have promotion and the always on display? I'm thinking about a 14 Pro rather than a 15 regular.

How does the 15 pro max look?

It does feel like the most whatever Pro model in quite some time.

Massive upgrade for the base.

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.

Yes to both.

Digging more, it looks like the biggest differences are the 15 uses aluminum rather than the 14 Pro stainless steel and maybe some camera junk? Battery life on the 14 Pro is a couple hours longer too. Seems like the 14 Pro is a better phone?

I uninstalled music.app. I use Spotify but still had some Apple music purchases music.app would try to play.

It's happening for amazon music, also even if i stopped the music and killed the running app. It's blasting warlock and the like, so it's not terribly shocking for passengers and bystanders. Just annoying.

It’s impossible to say for sure without using both but yeah it seems that way. I’m not in a rush to upgrade my 14 pro.

People bitch about SS iPhone heft/lack of USB C all the time - it's up to you whether or not you care about those two things, along with the camera stuff.

Is the base model still 60hz?

So the new action button works like this:

Press Once: Toggle silent/audio mode
Hold once: Toggle predetermined action?

Seems like a fair trade, although I love the rocker.

Well my reaction to that keynote is that I'll just get a battery case for my aging 11 Pro. Anyone got a battery case they recommend? Main qualifier is that I could still use wireless charging without taking the case off.

I believe it's the other way around, but that's how it sounded to me!

I don't care about either and honestly am not sure if I care about always on or promotion but I derped it up and misread the availability graphic for the 14 regular. Doubtful the 14 Pro will remain available much longer but AT&T will give me 700 in bill credits right now for my 12 mini which seems pretty good since a lot of times it seems like you need a new line to get that much of a trade in.

I think ProMotion and the always-on display are reserved for the Pro models, so yeah, base model still 60hz.

Not wholly losing the silent switch (provided I have a distinctive haptic that it went silent versus coming off of silent) and being able to use my Xreal Airs will make this a pretty guaranteed purchase.

Do any of you guys rock screen protectors any more? My job can get decently physical and while I haven't used a screen protector in quite some time, I've noticed my last two phones (most recent 12 Pro Max) has hundreds of microscratches all over the screen.

I can’t order from the website for some reason. I can select all the options but the Continue button at the bottom is unclickable…weird and frustrating. It just says delivery and pickup are unavailable. Like, I know, I’m preordering.

Ohhhh we can’t preorder til Friday? Why babe it all selectable then?

Am I an idiot if I return my Amazon AirPod Pros I bought a week ago just so I can order a pair with the new port and be done with lightning?

I really wanna put one in a drawer and the rest to my friends and be done with it forever.

Yeah because I do physical work and putting a naked phone into a pocket with grit in it will easily cause those types of scratches, and a drop onto rocky ground will create a tangible gouge.

I would but I bought mine two months ago and am stuck. Not a big deal but just one less cord when traveling. At home couldn’t care less.

Yeahhh after further consideration I'm going to do the same with my 13 Pro. My applecare is up on the 24th of this month so I might see if I can get the screen replaced since it has some scratches which might turn much worse if it falls on some convenient concrete.
