Ugggggh, 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max? The Pro Max is obnoxiously big, but also it seems people are having pretty bad battery life on the regular sized Pro. I have a 13 Pro 128GB, and I wouldn’t even be considering an upgrade, except it’s starting to feel a little cramped and Verizon is offering me $1000 for it if I trade it in on an upgrade. Figure I’d just opt for the 1TB model so I’ll never have to actually worry about storage again, but if the 14 Pro’s battery is worse than the 13 Pro, then I’m not so sure. Fwiw I had a 128GB iPhone 12 mini that I loved the size of, but the battery life on it was so bad I couldn’t even make it through my 8 hour day at work before it was into power saving mode. I got the 13 Pro because of the battery life issues on the 12 mini, and I don’t want to put myself in the same position again where I’m worried the phone will die before I get off work at 4pm every day.

Duckman2008 posted:This is a bit ironic for me in particular to ask: but if you have the 13 pro, why are you upgrading already? 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. Otherwise, good to hear the battery life is comparable between the 13 Pro and 14 Pro in your experience. I think tech reviewers hyping up the Pro Max skewed my perception of what “good battery life” actually is.

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.

Minidust posted: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.

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 it normal that you guys run two years behind or something? Pretty sure he means it’s on sale, as in has a limited time promotional discount, instead of for sale. Since he’s in Finland I’m assuming English isn’t his primary language, and it makes sense that a non-native speaker might get something like “for sale” and “on sale” mixed up. Also seems the sale being mentioned is only going on in brick & mortar stores in specific cities, so he’s not able to get it at the discount without traveling to do so.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:I got three months of Walmart+ free with YouTube premium (and that gave my three months of Paramount+ for free) So off topic from WalmartPay/Walmart+, I had a subscription for Paramount+ signed up through my iPhone, and saw a deal through Verizon where if you pay for a year of Paramount+ all at once you’d get a free year of Netflix. I had to let the Paramount+ subscription lapse before I could switch the billing to Verizon though, so I let that happen and I continued to have access to Paramount+ with a cancelled subscription. Apparently there is some bug where if you have a sub to Paramount+ through Apple and cancel it you stop being billed, but still have full access. This prevented me from getting the year of Netflix since I can’t switch the billing over since they still think I’m subscribing through Apple. No guarantees it’ll work for anyone else, but I haven’t paid for Paramount+ in over two months, and there are folks on Reddit who claim to have had this going on for over a year.

Corb3t posted:It’s amazing how many articles there are out there where an Apple Watch detects an irregular heartbeat, life-threatening fall, or somebody lost in a ravine and ends up saving their life. I even see redditors posting about it fairly often on Apple subreddits. It only works if the person actually lets it work though. Couple years ago my mother fell off the ladder going into the attic, landed on the garage floor and shattered her wrist and broke her femur at the femoral neck, requiring a bunch of metal plates and big-rear end screws to fix,, and when her watch was all “hey, that seemed like a pretty bad fall, do you want to call 911?” she canceled it. So like, I guess just make sure they understand what the watch can do and the sorts of the situations where they should let it do what it does.

The sweet spot seems tiny compared to my XR and it’s not unusual for me to wake up in the AM with a mostly dead phone because it got knocked a millimeter or whatever. Pretty annoying. Had this happen multiple times since getting a 14 Pro. In my instance it's the jumbo sized camera bump not letting the phone sit flush on my wireless charging stand.

buglord posted:It’s entirely about the iMessage features, facetime, and knowing a video sent won’t get all mega compressed. Would be nice if people actually talked about those things though instead of just being reductive about “uGh a gReEn tExT, DiSgUsTiNg” all the time. Yeah, there is a weird teen social pressure deal about green vs blue texts, but adults should be able to address the annoyances without just falling back on that. Personally the media compression is the only benefit I get out of iMessage, since I don’t use FaceTime, or any other video chatting app for that matter, and don’t use iMessage extra features unironically. That said, I have seen grown rear end people bully another adult into buying an iPhone because of the whole green text thing back in the 5S days because people are just that broke brained.

SlowBloke posted:My airpods pro 1 got refused from free repairs. Is there any goon consensus for decent earbuds with active echo cancellation that aren't apple but work with apple kit? It’s not goon consensus (goonsensus?), but I have a pair of Sony’s catchily named WF-1000XM4 earbuds that work pretty dang well. They don’t support Siri, so that might be a dealbreaker for you, but since I don’t use Siri unless I absolutely have to it’s an omission I don’t notice.

SlowBloke posted:Given that most of my messages comes from teams or whatsapp, siri is not important. How is the battery life? Four hours or more between slotting the earbuds in the case? I want to say I get around five-ish hours between having to put them in their charge case with ANC on. If you use them with something that supports LDAC then that’ll be lower, but the iPhone doesn’t support that codec. Sony is pretty proud of their earbuds though and charge quite a bit for it. I like the buds, but absolutely you should try to get them on sale instead of at their $280 USD msrp.

SlowBloke posted:I'll keep an eye out during next week amazon prime days, they usually discounts sony xm buds during those The Sony LinkBuds S seems to be pretty highly favored by people as well, especially in the microphone department as it seems they might have better mics than the 1000XM4 buds, and they’re $80 USD cheaper at MSRP to boot. This is the LinkBuds S though, not the regular LinkBuds with the weird open-back design thing. E: fwiw I’m not super hard on my earbuds. I mostly use them when I’m doing a specific task at work that requires me to sit at my desk and work an excel sheet for six-seven hours one day a week. All other times I’m using them are pretty sporadic. Don’t want to come off like a Sony shill, I’ve just personally liked the set I have, which I used to replace a set of original AirPods Pro that hosed up and died a month after their warranty expired. Corb3t posted:I love my Sony bluetooth cans, I'm curious how good non-Airpods are at handing off audio between Apple devices - has anybody tried it with a MacBook and iPhone? Switching between my MacBook and iPhone with AirPod Pros in is seamless for me - if I'm using my AirPods with my MacBook and I pick up my phone to take a call, the AirPod Pros switch instantaneously. They do not switch seamlessly like this, at least not for me. I do have to go to the BT menu and tell it to connect. They support multipoint, but I’ve had some issues with that working consistently across Apple devices. If that seamless transfer is super important, I’d recommend sticking with AirPods.

American McGay posted:I’ve got no problem with the basic Apple leather ones, but the patina on it is kinda gross and someone mentioned Bullstrap earlier in the thread and they look like pretty decent. How’s the feel though? Are they relatively soft like the Apple leather ones? That’s probably what I like most about them, how comfortable they feel in the hand. The word that comes to mind when thinking about how Bullstrap cases feel is "supple." They have a nice soft very mildly squishy feel to them. The buttons are in a layer between the leather and the inner microfiber lining and they feel good enough IMO. They don't have any protective coating or anything on them, so they will develop patina pretty quickly. I always get the regular saddle brown and within a couple months it's very apparent. I've had one on my 14 Pro since January and it has taken on a cognac color.

My brother is the only instance I've ever actually heard of someone having their phone stolen at gunpoint, and the phone was only taken so he couldn't call 911 right away because his phone absolutely wasn't worth stealing. It's not a widespread issue, but media does like to fearmonger about the roving bands of phone thieves.

The 14 is a 13 Pro SoC in a shittier dress, and the 13 Pro SoC iirc only has like one more GPU core than the regular 13 SoC did so it really doesn't make a difference. Go for the 13 since it'll be $100 cheaper than the 14 unless she's getting a carrier deal where the 14 will be free (and look if the 15 might have a similar or better promotion on it while she's at it).

Aphrodite posted:Spigen sells mostly through Amazon at like half or less than the prices on their own site and I’m not really sure what they gain from this. I think it’s probably a Black Friday fake-discount kind of thing. Their site shows an inflated price that some people might pay, but they likely know the majority of folks will then go to Amazon and see how much cheaper it is there and think “wow, what a deal, it’s half off, I should buy it!” And if that isn’t the instance now, and they’re doing it because they’ve always done it this way, then it definitely started as a fake-discount thing.
