My brain honestly accepts the dynamic island over the notch. Something about having the image continue around the entire phone instead of being disconnected from the notch allows me to ignore the new design more and make it feel more natural
It's the same reason I like the cut out on S21. It's a weird psychological thing. Even though the pixels above the cut out aren't useful it looks nicer to have the image wrap around it and makes the screen feel more immersive.
That and how it expands to show notifications and all that, just kinda makes sense, I work at a phone store and so far I’ve setup 5 of them, really nice phones, just gets me confused when I see the lack of physical sim
Yeah I didn't ever think Id like the cutout. I got the IPhone 11 pro from my job, and It was a really Nice phone, with a great Camera setup. Nice all around. My personal device was always a Galaxy Note though (I use my S pen for everything lol) and I had the 512gb Note 9 that I loved forever. It was a perfect phone for me. I resisted the upgrade to the 10 because the 9 was perfect. I FINALLY upgraded to the S22 ultra and the hole punch disappears when I use it because like you said, the image goes around it. I like it way better than the notch.
I really like how much more balanced the energy is on the channel between you two . It kinda felt like an Austin Evans 2 channel at first but it's starting to feel more like it's more of a Matts thing now. Keep up the great work Matt, been loving how much more comfortable you are on camera than before.
I call total BS on that side by side photo comparison test. they were using a Galaxy Note 20,{ not Note 20 Ultra} verses iPhone 14 pro max. That's like a three year difference in technically in the cameras
I still don't know why we have a notch at all? Why don't we have cameras behind the screen that just turns off those pixels when the camera is in use? If we can have clear roll up screens this should not be so hard.
If Apple had the option to place USB C on the iphone or hold off on replacing the iphone port as long as possible to continue amassing royalties from third party manufactures from their lightning patent, I think they would choose the latter. Tim Cook's Apple, coming from a supply chain focus, is successful producing at scale and of course, a little more invested in any business opportunity that yields more profit.
Matt i do agree with your opinion most of the times but the headphone jack thing you said at 14:20 don't make sense to me removing the jack was completely a decision that was taken for making more money don't believe me just have a look at Zenfone 9 and if you have time do watch it's teardown you will get my point.
Carriers started to add restrictions that only allow 2 sim swaps per year on e sims for free. More then that, you have to pay. Really pro consumer right there. There is a micro SIM size if you are so concerned about battery space.
To me that's the best description of why I don't like the Island. It being something you constantly interact with and is constantly changing form and drawing your attention makes it so you're always aware that it's there, while with the Notch, you just got used to that being how the phone looks and you forgot that it was there, not to mention watching full screen content, although not great with the notch, is MUCH better than with that huge pill + the no man's land of pixels next to it.
The thing is that every single reviewer views this as a 13 to 14 upgrade and it’s not meant for that. It’s much better for people like me who were on 11-12 and wanted to upgrade. And it is an awesome upgrade with that said.
i really wish any other manufacturer don't use esim. i have an extra sim just for emergency uses, like when i really late to pay bills or when certain places have better signal on my other sim. using esim means i don't have that options anymore. i am really not fond of having 2 devices when i can just carry a power bank.
E-sim is probably the biggest gripe I'd have with this. It's hard to have a good experience with a phone carrier. If you never change sims it's fine, but if you do it's a hassle.
On the E-Sim…I couldn’t care less. Other than when upgrading phones, something the E-Sim can just transfer to, I don’t think I opened my sim tray once in the last 5 years, and longer if it weren’t for the sim reader in my old 6 burning out. That can’t happen any more, so good change for longevity too.
I’m also having focus issues.. I thought I was the only one, it’s pretty annoying. My iPhone XS never had this issue. This camera system its a little overwhelming. Seems like the main camera is forcing itself on macro or cinematic mode without using those features. They need to fix this with an update
If the iPhone 14 Pro with always on display gets me to at least 10% before going to bed, I’m going to use it. My current iPhone 12 Pro is at 10% by 4pm so anything better than that is a win.
One benefit of e-sim is phones that have upgradable storage won't have to use double-depth trays to accommodate both sim and memory card, and for those that _don't_ have upgradable storage they could potentially now add it by replacing the sim tray with a memory card tray/reader. If they don't mind not having that space freed up.
Honestly, if apple opted out for USB C, than that’s just one less accessory they would have to manufacture. Than again, they gave the mantle for adapters to Anker; but they still make adapters… so… idk
Not sure what everyone’s obsession is with an always on display. I just turned it off, it’s not something I need, I can look at my Watch to see the time, I don’t need to glance down at my phone.
How do you charge when you are traveling? How do you charge while using the phone for Navigation? How do you charge phones in the airport? Carry Pan Cake charger dongles?
If they have removed the sim trey, then they’ve unlocked so many possibilities with additional stuff inside phones. Think about it, they finally have space for a headphone jack… think about it
I went from a 12 to the 14 pro max and I’m loving it. Do I think there are places it could be better, yes, but I’ve been cramped in many ways with the 12 for a a couple years. I only had 64GB of storage, which was limited, the battery life was disappointing, and I just kept on having really random issues with the device overheating, the phone saying there was liquid in my charging port when it was nowhere near liquid, it just became a hassle, so having a new phone that remedies these issues feels nice, and the battery had been phenomenal for me so far. I have very long days, and being able to get through them on a full charge without using low power mode has been really nice
Removing the SIM is a big hack, back home in South Africa carriers charge roughly 2 dollars every month for the priviledge of using an esim device - there's literally no reason other than "you have no choice but to constantly subscribe to us or your device won't work" Maybe someone can come up with a device that relays carrier networks to your phone and can you can add physical Sims to that device, I'm already carrying a power bank, why not integrate that kinda functionality into it as well? Would also be super helpful as a person who travels to be able to keep all my different country Sims in one device and easily switch between carriers with the tap of a button (which is the dream of esim but the current implementation is greedy and trash)
I made the same move last weekend. You'll be surprised how heavy it is, but you get used to it pretty fast. It's weird getting used to the new navigation too, but once you do it's pretty nice to use. Overall I'm happy with mine. 6S was an amazing device for a long time, but I'm glad I finally upgraded. I wonder if this one will have the same longevity.
I've been using a 6s for 6 years too and I‘ll order a 14 pro as soon as it launches in my country. I‘ll probably have to look up a lot how to use the phone, because phones have developed tremendously since the age of 6s and I literally don‘t know how to operate the current ui. I also plan to use the new phone as long as possible
The chance that we're getting a port-less iPhone are very slim tbh, because it's gonna cost them and their users a lot of money: 1. All new phones will be forced into Qi charging, meaning slower charging speeds, worse battery longevity and increase in battery waste. 2. Big changes to their Repair shops, that will need wireless ways to boot the phone into recovery and push images or commands wirelessly, unless they add a debug port on the motherboard. 3. A lot of people will be cut out of CarPlay, unless they start selling an official Qi charging dongle that does wireless CarPlay to convert any old car dash that doesn't support it.
When it comes to the esim, I switch my phone out to my Samsung and or older iPhone depending on what I'm doing. I do travel between Canada and US often and depending on if my phone needs a clean before crossing, I'll pull the sim and put it in my other iphone\samsung. My Samsung does dual sim, so if traveling I have both in at the same time and don't need to worry about figuring out where to enter my esim information. A sim card has it's issues, but going purely digital has more cons than pros. Especially when it comes to locking down a phone, especially with some older phones I still use when I want to change it up. I'll throw a sim in and go. Why? Because I can. Apple may be a 'trend setter' of sorts, but I'm still not ok with no headphone jack and removing the sim, IMO, is stupid. We want more control over our phones, not giving them more control over our phones. As for the 14. I'll stick with my 13 pro max and still rocking my s10. The 14 is what matt said, an S, not a new gen. Very stupid of apple to call the 14 new.
Upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and being using it for a week now. I feel the iPhone 14 Pro max has same battery life as my 2 year old iPhone 12 Pro. Very disappointing. Have turned the aod off but still no good
Not even close to what is happening with most cases, including myself. I notice a huge battery improvement coming from a 13 Pro to a 14 Pro Max. The 16.1 beta is supposedly fixing battery issues though.
I live in small Europe country and considering every neighbouring country has it's own phone carrier with it's own charges I hope integrated sim cards won't become a norm.
I got rid of my 13 pro max and got the 14 pro max because I like to upgrade each year because I have that mental problem with new phones but I wish I would have kept my 13 this year
The reason I’ve been a diehard android fan since the droid 2 is because of features and an understanding of what customers want. iPhone has slowly been making their way there catching up to android. Better cameras, better customization. 120htz screens. 4k video you can watch in full quality on your device. The ability to change your preferences to not track you or use parts of your device without your knowledge. The ability to use wireless pay in more places (there is no argument Samsung pay works on machines that don’t even have wireless pay and Apple Pay requires compatibility). All that being said, this generation of iPhone is the best iteration of any phone they have ever made. Apples biggest problem is pretending software can compete with hardware but now that their hardware is catching up its a compelling choice. For the first time ever I’m debating on selling my android and fully switching back to iPhone. My fold 3 is cool but my iPhone 14 pro has great battery life, and the ecosystem is what I’ve always wanted from my phone. A wireless battery pack I can just put on the back of the phone and fully integrated wireless headphones
I would Imagine you think the iPhone 14 Pro sucks if you continuously get new phones (spoiled) I would legit pass out wake up and pass out again X10000000 if someone just randomly gave me an iPhone 14 Pro
It's very odd, all Mac have thunderbolt ports while iPhone still have crappy lightning connector. Why?🤔 It's known to all that Lightning cables transfer data at USB 2.0 speed, which is 480Mbps/60MBps while USB-C can handle USB 3.0 speed, with transfer speeds as fast as 5Gbps/640MBps (USB 3.1 Gen 1), or 10Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2), and Thunderbolt 3, the superset of USB-C, is capable of 40Gbps. So why Apple is giving crap connector on iPhones? think about it.
Now that I have a type c iPad I’d prefer a type c iPhone due to port limitations. Like using a wired controler or usb in and an hdmi out and charging? Not doable. Physically it’s limited. Type c can support more than 2 independent connections without issue. Lightning struggles.
I bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max and already returned it. The reachability to the top of the phone/dynamic island was nearly impossible and it was basically only operable with 2 hands.
Lol you’re ignorant. They are bringing reachability to the Dynamic Island on iOS 16.1 where you can drag the screen down and it will make another digitized island you can use
I just got the iPhone 14 pro max and hate it, I’m going back to my 11 pro max, unfortunately can’t return it and can’t get my 10s max trade in back so it will just go into a drawer for 18 months until I can trade it in. I’m not a fan of the camera on the 14 pro max at all, blurry, and very disappointing.
13:20 ESIM for me, somebody who uses prepaid, was a tough move. I reached out to AT&T to have my current sim converted to an eSIM before I got the 14. I thought that everything would be smooth sailing after that, and that I could just transfer it over to my new phone at setup, but it still required another phone call to AT&T and another 30 minutes of waiting on the phone for them to do it manually. Was it the worst experience? No. Is it going to be annoying if I have to upgrade in the future?Yes.
I stopped buying iPhone after iPhone 10. There is no reason not to USB C besides filling their pockets. They had no concerns about accessories when they switched to lighting. You bet your ass if they owned USB C, they would have used it a long time ago. My job involves allot of last minute in the field and if I am low on battery, I then need to find a store with lighting which is allot harder and more costly then a USB C.
I kinda agree, dynamic island is a gimmick like Siri was at launch. Watching landscape video takes more space than the notch ever did. Transfer speeds are still abysmal at USB 2.0 speeds which makes shooting at full 48mp garbage and useless to transfer.
3:01 You're partly right. The prime reason Apple introduced Face ID is planned obselcence. Touch ID was already a perfected technogoly and could easily be implemented into the power button. That is to say: 1. the logical conclusion to the iPhone is an all screen iPhone. 2. We already have the technology for an all screen iPhone. 3. Apple will continue to release phones with increasingly smaller "notches/islands" When in reality we could have gotten a full screen iPhone with Touch ID as early as the iPhone X.
The only thing i want for years now, is the perfect solution for the front camera.. REMOVE IT !! just get rid of the front camera, i dont care about face unlock or selfies
I’ve had a lot of phones, I had a iphone 4 then 5, then had android ( moto g4 pro, HUAWEI p20pro), then iPhone X and now i just got a 12 pro. On my experience buying the latest iPhones is never a good idea, cause a lot of my friends which do always have a lot of issues until half a year afterwards it’s release, also a port less iPhone would be a no go for me. Mag safe sucks. And data transfer thru lighting port sucks ass well 😂. I think they should go usb C. Better faster stronger. Simless iPhones would be a trouble for travelers.
Given up on youtubers reviews. They think the new versions of phones are gonna turn ur ceiling blue and have some stupid useless feature that does nothing for the user but act like a gimmick. Iphones are the perfect business/fun tool.
so for myself I'm upgrading from the iPhone 11 non Pro to a 14 Pro and it's gonna be a big bump in power, resolution and camera. Those for me are worthwhile upgrades. I don't see it being worthwhile if you have a 12 Pro or especially as 13 Pro but I don't see much benefit in upgrading a phone every single year. You get minimalist gains vs if you wait 2-3years before upgrading and given the price difference between the 13 Pro and 14 Pro is $100 I might as well get the newest tech available and hope it lasts longer not to mention if I was to get the 13 Pro why wouldn't I instead save $100 on top of that and simply get the regular 14 since it's the same chip and everything. I don't see much of an argument for those upgrading from older gens to get the previous years model instead of just getting the newest. If the price difference was greater I would definitely give it more thought but there isn't a lot of incentive to get last years model right now imo.
The 13 pro still has 120hz and the regular 14 doesn’t and it has a triple camera setup while the 14 only has a dual camera. Also there’s no 1tb model or pro raw photos on the regular 14. So either get the 14 pro or save and get the 13 pro or wait for the 15 pro so you get usb c also and even better battery life
the only thing that's grinding my gears is that the removal of sim tray and also they should've made it type c only because overseas making apple turn lighting to type c that's going to make a huge problem
I recall Tech TikTok account pointing out that if Apple can do esim only in US then what's stopping them from doing USB-C only in the EU and lightning everywhere else. I'm thinking the implications of designing two different PCBs or whatever they need to do would make it not worth it.
i think dynamic island will be a feature to be seen for the next few years like austin said. i also think the next step in removing that will be screen integrated cameras and sensors, for a full screen display
I keep hitting on the universally acclaimed iPhones. 11 Pro for amazing cameras and battery life, skipped the 12 Pro for crappy battery, went to 13 Pro for amazing battery life & cameras and am skipping the 14 Pro altogether. Can’t wait for the 15 Pro with USB-C & Periscoping camera and fantastic battery life, even with AOD enabled.
Because the battery percentage to battery percentage drains a crap ton. I’ve tested the sound of multiple Samsung devices in multiple iPhones, and once you turn off battery percentage on any other devices and turn off always on display if you turn both of those things off on all alarms multiple devices, you can easily get an extra hour or two of my screen time. Believe me I’ve done it And it works. I’ve also tested it with both of those things on on both devices with multiple android and iPhones just in general and you know what it actually last longer if you turn off battery percentage along with always on display trust me, I was able to get up to 10 hours with both of a man and when you turn one of them off like the always on display you can squeeze out 11 hours and if you turn off battery percentage, you can get to 12 hours on a pro max or more if you’re lucky especially if your brightness is literally 20% or below you can literally get up to 12 hours or longer on any pro or promax iPhone or just in general any iPhone anywhere from the iPhone 11 to 14 including the pro versions of those phones, even android phones as well. If you turn off battery percentage and always on display, you can get a massive for extra hours, at least the battery life as well as on the iPhones every phone it’s just common sense battery percentage, and always on display drain battery so if you were getting say, I don’t know eight hours on your phone. If you turn both of those off it Hass to be both it doesn’t matter if you have one or the other on it still gonna drain half of what you had draining, but if you turn them both off, then you can easily get anywhere from 8 to 12 hours instead of anywhere from 8 to 10 hours so you get an extra two hours of battery life or I guess for hours if they’re both off
What i think is apple will try and make dynamic island perfect for the next few years but other companies are already trying for a under display camera

3. A lot of people will be cut out of CarPlay, unless they start selling an official Qi charging dongle that does wireless CarPlay to convert any old car dash that doesn't support it.
When it comes to the esim, I switch my phone out to my Samsung and or older iPhone depending on what I'm doing. I do travel between Canada and US often and depending on if my phone needs a clean before crossing, I'll pull the sim and put it in my other iphone\samsung. My Samsung does dual sim, so if traveling I have both in at the same time and don't need to worry about figuring out where to enter my esim information.
A sim card has it's issues, but going purely digital has more cons than pros. Especially when it comes to locking down a phone, especially with some older phones I still use when I want to change it up. I'll throw a sim in and go. Why? Because I can. Apple may be a 'trend setter' of sorts, but I'm still not ok with no headphone jack and removing the sim, IMO, is stupid. We want more control over our phones, not giving them more control over our phones.
As for the 14. I'll stick with my 13 pro max and still rocking my s10. The 14 is what matt said, an S, not a new gen. Very stupid of apple to call the 14 new.
These guy said that the dynamic notch looks good. Strange there’s no notch in the middle of the phone that gets bigger looks good.
Upgraded from the iPhone 12 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and being using it for a week now. I feel the iPhone 14 Pro max has same battery life as my 2 year old iPhone 12 Pro. Very disappointing. Have turned the aod off but still no good
Lying 💀
Not even close to what is happening with most cases, including myself. I notice a huge battery improvement coming from a 13 Pro to a 14 Pro Max. The 16.1 beta is supposedly fixing battery issues though.
I can't imagine my phone telling me that I'm dying soon before I go to bed.
organize a World Wide boycott of Apple products.
Your decision makes a difference
Every time Austin says "for me" my head instantly fills in the rest with "... I really like corn"
I live in small Europe country and considering every neighbouring country has it's own phone carrier with it's own charges I hope integrated sim cards won't become a norm.
I got rid of my 13 pro max and got the 14 pro max because I like to upgrade each year because I have that mental problem with new phones but I wish I would have kept my 13 this year
I’m keeping my gold 13 pro max forever 🥺
Finally some honest opinion about not so great iPhone 14 Pro & Max. After shilling videos disguised as review by Apple fans like MKBHD.
I’m glad I skipped and waiting for the 15 pro after hearing problems with 14 pro.
I was waiting for Austin Evans to say ring a ling the ding a Ling bell and he forgot lol 😆 😂
Great comment that using the phone the notch disappears very quicky whereas the DI rubs it's obtrusiveness at you all the time.
Honestly I (a US resident) couldn’t care less about the esim. It’s kinda nice to know that my SIM card can’t easily be popped out.
5:50 Iphone 14 giving death threats🤣
Not having a sim card slot is ridiculous. So you are okay with Service providers having power over you?
The reason I’ve been a diehard android fan since the droid 2 is because of features and an understanding of what customers want. iPhone has slowly been making their way there catching up to android. Better cameras, better customization. 120htz screens. 4k video you can watch in full quality on your device. The ability to change your preferences to not track you or use parts of your device without your knowledge. The ability to use wireless pay in more places (there is no argument Samsung pay works on machines that don’t even have wireless pay and Apple Pay requires compatibility). All that being said, this generation of iPhone is the best iteration of any phone they have ever made. Apples biggest problem is pretending software can compete with hardware but now that their hardware is catching up its a compelling choice. For the first time ever I’m debating on selling my android and fully switching back to iPhone. My fold 3 is cool but my iPhone 14 pro has great battery life, and the ecosystem is what I’ve always wanted from my phone. A wireless battery pack I can just put on the back of the phone and fully integrated wireless headphones
The galaxy 9 had 120hrtz
@@jcswift1994 I took some photos on my note 9 and 10 people say look professional. iPhone cameras on the iPhone 7 and 8 were trash
BOSS Rainbow Mountain, I think, is the best Japanese canned coffee. I have tried a lot of them and this is the best. No horrible after taste.
Still using my 12 Pro Max, and don't look at upgrading anytime soon...
The island is a copy of LG v10 dynamic bar Yeats ago and samsungs edge bar or side bar.
I would Imagine you think the iPhone 14 Pro sucks if you continuously get new phones (spoiled) I would legit pass out wake up and pass out again X10000000 if someone just randomly gave me an iPhone 14 Pro
bro, why does everyone think Samsung is the only Android device that is annoying as ever
You were right about the UBC on the 15 lol
You could almost do the same stuff the “ dynamic island” does with the iPhone 13’s notch
It's very odd, all Mac have thunderbolt ports while iPhone still have crappy lightning connector. Why?🤔
It's known to all that Lightning cables transfer data at USB 2.0 speed, which is 480Mbps/60MBps while USB-C can handle USB 3.0 speed, with transfer speeds as fast as 5Gbps/640MBps (USB 3.1 Gen 1), or 10Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen2), and Thunderbolt 3, the superset of USB-C, is capable of 40Gbps.
So why Apple is giving crap connector on iPhones? think about it.
Now that I have a type c iPad I’d prefer a type c iPhone due to port limitations. Like using a wired controler or usb in and an hdmi out and charging? Not doable. Physically it’s limited. Type c can support more than 2 independent connections without issue. Lightning struggles.
I haven't had any issues with always on and battery life and I'm personally loving my 14 Pro Max. Now the regular 14, not much of an upgrade
I bought the iPhone 14 Pro Max and already returned it. The reachability to the top of the phone/dynamic island was nearly impossible and it was basically only operable with 2 hands.
Lol you’re ignorant. They are bringing reachability to the Dynamic Island on iOS 16.1 where you can drag the screen down and it will make another digitized island you can use
@@sammyjammy6647 I really don’t care. Didn’t work for me.
@@MattMik246 then why did you make it sound like that was your dealbreaker? Stop commenting
I just got the iPhone 14 pro max and hate it, I’m going back to my 11 pro max, unfortunately can’t return it and can’t get my 10s max trade in back so it will just go into a drawer for 18 months until I can trade it in. I’m not a fan of the camera on the 14 pro max at all, blurry, and very disappointing.

ESIM for me, somebody who uses prepaid, was a tough move. I reached out to AT&T to have my current sim converted to an eSIM before I got the 14. I thought that everything would be smooth sailing after that, and that I could just transfer it over to my new phone at setup, but it still required another phone call to AT&T and another 30 minutes of waiting on the phone for them to do it manually.
Was it the worst experience? No. Is it going to be annoying if I have to upgrade in the future?Yes.
I stopped buying iPhone after iPhone 10. There is no reason not to USB C besides filling their pockets. They had no concerns about accessories when they switched to lighting. You bet your ass if they owned USB C, they would have used it a long time ago. My job involves allot of last minute in the field and if I am low on battery, I then need to find a store with lighting which is allot harder and more costly then a USB C.
I kinda agree, dynamic island is a gimmick like Siri was at launch. Watching landscape video takes more space than the notch ever did. Transfer speeds are still abysmal at USB 2.0 speeds which makes shooting at full 48mp garbage and useless to transfer.
3:01 You're partly right. The prime reason Apple introduced Face ID is planned obselcence. Touch ID was already a perfected technogoly and could easily be implemented into the power button.
That is to say:
1. the logical conclusion to the iPhone is an all screen iPhone.
2. We already have the technology for an all screen iPhone.
3. Apple will continue to release phones with increasingly smaller "notches/islands"
When in reality we could have gotten a full screen iPhone with Touch ID as early as the iPhone X.
The only thing i want for years now, is the perfect solution for the front camera.. REMOVE IT !! just get rid of the front camera, i dont care about face unlock or selfies
I’ve had a lot of phones, I had a iphone 4 then 5, then had android ( moto g4 pro, HUAWEI p20pro), then iPhone X and now i just got a 12 pro. On my experience buying the latest iPhones is never a good idea, cause a lot of my friends which do always have a lot of issues until half a year afterwards it’s release, also a port less iPhone would be a no go for me. Mag safe sucks. And data transfer thru lighting port sucks ass well 😂. I think they should go usb C. Better faster stronger. Simless iPhones would be a trouble for travelers.
Been rocking a normal sim and esim simultaneously dual carriers on my z flip 3 for a year, that should've been the route to go for convenience
that's been the case for years on iphone and still is outside US
Lightning ports don’t get damaged as easily as usb c port
Apple doesn’t want you to have an always-on display, so they gave you one so bad you’ll just turn it off.
I’ll get a new iPhone when they kill the notch. Still rocking my 8+.
In order for apple to get rid of the notch, Apple have to eliminate face ID... 💯
how about we just get rid of the selfie camera completely so we can have our screens back.
Given up on youtubers reviews. They think the new versions of phones are gonna turn ur ceiling blue and have some stupid useless feature that does nothing for the user but act like a gimmick. Iphones are the perfect business/fun tool.
It's almost end of the day for me now, 55% on my iPhone 13 with 91% battery life. I see no reason to upgrade to 14 😁
so for myself I'm upgrading from the iPhone 11 non Pro to a 14 Pro and it's gonna be a big bump in power, resolution and camera. Those for me are worthwhile upgrades. I don't see it being worthwhile if you have a 12 Pro or especially as 13 Pro but I don't see much benefit in upgrading a phone every single year. You get minimalist gains vs if you wait 2-3years before upgrading and given the price difference between the 13 Pro and 14 Pro is $100 I might as well get the newest tech available and hope it lasts longer not to mention if I was to get the 13 Pro why wouldn't I instead save $100 on top of that and simply get the regular 14 since it's the same chip and everything. I don't see much of an argument for those upgrading from older gens to get the previous years model instead of just getting the newest. If the price difference was greater I would definitely give it more thought but there isn't a lot of incentive to get last years model right now imo.
The 13 pro still has 120hz and the regular 14 doesn’t and it has a triple camera setup while the 14 only has a dual camera. Also there’s no 1tb model or pro raw photos on the regular 14. So either get the 14 pro or save and get the 13 pro or wait for the 15 pro so you get usb c also and even better battery life
@@darkhaven9119 i literally said i got the 14 pro
The Island on the iPhone 14 is like lipstick on a pigs @ss.
It still looks like $hit
the only thing that's grinding my gears is that the removal of sim tray and also they should've made it type c only because overseas making apple turn lighting to type c that's going to make a huge problem
By the way hauwai was the first company to have that dynamic island then Apple stole it
You guys should actually do a pizza party episode where you try pizza and talk about pizza related tech
I went from a iPhone 11 to the 14 pro max and I couldn’t be more happy. I love this phone.
i am going from an 11 pro max to a 14pro max cant wait lol while i have a fold 2
I recall Tech TikTok account pointing out that if Apple can do esim only in US then what's stopping them from doing USB-C only in the EU and lightning everywhere else. I'm thinking the implications of designing two different PCBs or whatever they need to do would make it not worth it.
i think dynamic island will be a feature to be seen for the next few years like austin said. i also think the next step in removing that will be screen integrated cameras and sensors, for a full screen display
I keep hitting on the universally acclaimed iPhones. 11 Pro for amazing cameras and battery life, skipped the 12 Pro for crappy battery, went to 13 Pro for amazing battery life & cameras and am skipping the 14 Pro altogether. Can’t wait for the 15 Pro with USB-C & Periscoping camera and fantastic battery life, even with AOD enabled.
Because the battery percentage to battery percentage drains a crap ton. I’ve tested the sound of multiple Samsung devices in multiple iPhones, and once you turn off battery percentage on any other devices and turn off always on display if you turn both of those things off on all alarms multiple devices, you can easily get an extra hour or two of my screen time. Believe me I’ve done it And it works. I’ve also tested it with both of those things on on both devices with multiple android and iPhones just in general and you know what it actually last longer if you turn off battery percentage along with always on display trust me, I was able to get up to 10 hours with both of a man and when you turn one of them off like the always on display you can squeeze out 11 hours and if you turn off battery percentage, you can get to 12 hours on a pro max or more if you’re lucky especially if your brightness is literally 20% or below you can literally get up to 12 hours or longer on any pro or promax iPhone or just in general any iPhone anywhere from the iPhone 11 to 14 including the pro versions of those phones, even android phones as well. If you turn off battery percentage and always on display, you can get a massive for extra hours, at least the battery life as well as on the iPhones every phone it’s just common sense battery percentage, and always on display drain battery so if you were getting say, I don’t know eight hours on your phone. If you turn both of those off it Hass to be both it doesn’t matter if you have one or the other on it still gonna drain half of what you had draining, but if you turn them both off, then you can easily get anywhere from 8 to 12 hours instead of anywhere from 8 to 10 hours so you get an extra two hours of battery life or I guess for hours if they’re both off
"space "wasted" on a headphone jack" - this is a bad take tbh, headphone jacks should NEVER have been phased out.
Apples naming department pisses me off, it's a multi billion dollar company and they have children naming everything. Dynamic island?! Who the f*CK?!
That's y I switched S23ULTRA 🔥🔥🔥 & not going back💯
Nice choice
I miss the tick-tock upgrade cycle like 4 to 4s.. 5 to 5s.. etc..
Great Video!
The E-sim is the only thing that doesn’t matter to me. I’ve taken a sim out of a phone 2 times in 13 years of having a smart phone.
Watching this on my Galaxy S22 ultra and laughing how pathetic they have become in desperate of copying Samsung in every department
Watching on my 14 Pro and regretting not getting the 14 pro max or just waiting for the 14 plus.
Why how's the battery life sot???
What i think is apple will try and make dynamic island perfect for the next few years but other companies are already trying for a under display camera
I have an 11 and might just upgrade to the 13 at the cheaper price. don't really see a reason for the 14 right now.
I just upgraded from iPhone 11 Pro to iPhone 14 Pro, and it feels WRONGGG 😭
10:36 Why are we comparing apple's latest phone to samsung's 4 year old phone?
