Spigen has a few if you like the style.Is there a good MagSafe compatible case for the 14 pro max with raised edges/bumpers so I don't need to put on a screen protector in case of a fall? Thanks!
You should use Apple's compare tool:any thoughts on how the 14 (non Pro) compares to a 12 Pro? Wondering how fast the features are trickling down.
Whenever I upgraded from an 11 (non Pro) to a 12 Pro, I immediately could tell it felt more premium. Wondering if the 14 has the 12 Pro premium feeling and how it compares overall.
Early on, there was less risk of damaging your phone with a bad cable (still can happen but not as common as it used to be), the connector also is slightly smaller, and most importantly lightning is more durable and so is the port. USB-C ports can be damaged much more easily, as can the cables even though those aren't as much big a deal. There was also the accessory ecosystem then, and USB-C still suffers from different cable specs, although they'll all do a good job of charging. Also it hasn't been until the push with iOS and the iPad pros that iOS that you could really take advantage of the USB-C cables.

Honestly, it's a bit of a wash. Chip is only 1 gen newer. Lose the telephoto camera but gain the "telephoto" on the 14's main camera. Gain the new video recording modes and phone is slightly lighter since it's aluminum instead of steel. If you rock the caseless look, the aluminum doesn't hold up as well.iPhone - Compare Models

I'm not sure if it would be worth the money to be honest, the 12 Pro is still a premium phone. The 14 Pro might be more worth it
Yeah I was just looking at Andar and Bullstrap. I like those as well. However that Dune color from Bullstrap is nice. I wonder how that will go with my space gray iPhone 14 pro.To me, their style negates the entire fun and elegance of a leather wrapped case. I know their leather is good, but I also hate the browns they use. Wish they had a permanent tan offering.
this is just terrible to me even compared to Apple's junk leather. For their prices… I'd rather have Bullstrap, Andar, or Ryan of London.
Umber is a new variant. Saddle Brown was available for iPhone 5S all the way through iPhone 12, but for 13 it was replaced with Golden Brown (a mustard tone). Saddle Brown used to patina well, but Apple switched to a terrible tanning method that is like painted chipping in the last few years. The last version of Saddle Brown was for iPhone 12 and aged horribly.
I'm definitely not upgrading, just got the 12 Pro last year. Just kind of curious how fast the standard turns into a Pro from a few years ago. So it's more like the 14 standard is very similar to the 11 Pro I guess? Or maybe some kind of mix of the 11/12 Pro.
Coming in 6 months. 😂Disappointed in the color choices for the Pro Max. Where's my blue :(
I realize that cameras are one of the biggest pillars of the Pro lineups and that I'm not the exact target demographic butlittle surprising to hear that potential big improvements in camera
I think I may be able to get $600 from BB trade in. Might be my best bet. I'm not really sure what plan upgrade I'd have available. I'll check Friday when I go in I guess.little surprising to hear that potential big improvements in camera is considers incremental but a slightly different way to charge would be a reason to upgrade.
I get the relative convenience of one fewer charging cable (although we would still have the same number, just swap a lightning with a usb-c, still need to be able to charge with the rest of the family's stuff)
Aztechnology worth checking out selling the 12 pro separately? If you have to upgrade your plan the total cost to change may not be much different?
This happened when I gave up that lovely dark green 11 Pro for the blue 13 Pro 😢
Apple's cases use a cheap tanning process that is like paint now, and has sucked for years. Black ages ok, but the rest show dark chipping instead of patina.
Personally, I'd look at Andar, Bullstrap, or Ryan of London. Ryan of London is probably the prettiest since they don't have obvious logos, but they are slower to launch new cases. So second choice would be Andar, but all 3 brands patina well. I think Nomad cases are ugly - the leather doesn't cover the sides and their browns are like… Grandfather's Shoe tone.
I dont like their colors or the way the cases dont cover the sides in leather

I expect Umber to age as terribly as the last couple years of cases. It's more reddish brown than the caramel tan of Saddle Brown. The color just chips off of Apple's leather, especially along edges. Straight up turns black these days instead of patina with oiled shades of the original color.
Can confirm. The cases use a shitty cheap tanning method now that chips or rubs OFF instead of patinas. There's some YouTube tests showing the issue and ways to adjust to it. but I'd suggest just trying a brand like Ryan of London when they release their new cases. Or if you want it now, Andar or Bullstrap have logos on theirs but are pretty.
I don't see any reason to get the 14 over a 13 ProI have an iPhone X and thought this year would be a good one to upgrade… before they announced those prices for Europe.
1200 something euros for a 256 gb phone is super expensive enough, but 1450? Yeah fuck that.
So i was thinking of getting either the 13 pro or the regular 14. What would you do in my position, anything i should consider between the two besides 120hz screen and telephoto lens on the pro?
Get the 13 Pro, no question. Same processor as the 14, but with a third lens option and ProMotion.I have an iPhone X and thought this year would be a good one to upgrade… before they announced those prices for Europe.

Apologies if this has already been addressed; watching the event I got the impression the 14 Plus had the best battery life of any iPhone however looking at the compare tool on the Apple website it seems the 14 Pro Max is still better (at least when looking at video playback). Am I misremembering the event, or did I miss the part where the Pro Max battery was discussed?
Yeah, the Plus is rated higher for audio playback. Presumably, the A16 in the ProMax has some additional efficiencies for video playback, while the Plus may last longer a little longer for general use.
Those features will almost certainly be limited to the 14 line.Does the 13 pro get the new cinematic 4k and action cams (and possibly other features) with ios 16, or is that limited to the 14 due to the camera hardware/ISP?
for the airpods 2, they talked specifically about the H2 being higher bandwidth. But nothing about lossless or higher quality audio. Is it still limited to the same lossy codecs as before, as far as we know?

14 Plus is prob going to sell the least. Most will spring for the Pro for $100 more.Kuo says 14 and 14 Plus preorders have been dismal, and worse than 13 and 13 mini. Easy to believe when it's basically the 13 at a higher price and the 14 Pro got all the goods.

The standard 14 is a redundant product, and I'm glad to see it fail.Kuo says 14 and 14 Plus preorders have been dismal, and worse than 13 and 13 mini. Easy to believe when it's basically the 13 at a higher price and the 14 Pro got all the goods.
No way. They need a non $1000 entry model. See the watch and the air.I'm starting to wonder if Apple will just ax the non Pro lines in the near future and just release the Pro lines
Yeah I think im gonna do the same. Honestly I just browse twitter and listen to podcasts so its not that big of a deal.Im gunna stick with the 11 for one more year. I got it at launch but it feels like the only issue is it's battery really, which isn't even thaaat much of a problem.
I want a phone with the newer form factor and the oled screen though ughh… one day.
Just like there was that stupid year where the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max had different camera systems, I think this will be the only year where the base phone doesn't get the new chip. There's almost zero reason for someone with a 13 to upgrade, aside from a very iterative camera bumpKuo says 14 and 14 Plus preorders have been dismal, and worse than 13 and 13 mini.

imo pretty good. I have watched House of the Dragon on my 13 PM and in dolby vision it really looks good on my phone.Just how much of an improvement in picture quality is the OLED screen when watching movies with the later iPhones in comparison to the XS Max?
There is literally zero reason to upgrade from a 13 series. The days of yearly upgrades are long over.Kuo says 14 and 14 Plus preorders have been dismal, and worse than 13 and 13 mini. Easy to believe when it's basically the 13 at a higher price and the 14 Pro got all the goods.

iPhones now are at least 3 year devices and even then it's pushing it.
