I’ve had a 14 Pro since launch and want to go to a Max size phone this year. I’ve been really unhappy with the 14 Pro battery (currently at 90% health) and the dynamic island and AOD have been underwhelming to say the least.

I’m very tempted to go to a 13PM for the better battery life compared to 14PM and arguably better camera focus and maybe slightly better processing (not to mention the alpine green color).

I’ll wait and see what all the 15PM has to offer but I couldn’t care less about USB-C and I doubt there will be a big battery improvement.

I think a significant decrease in weight and a great periscope lens could be enough to sway me if the price hike isn’t too steep, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Is anyone else considering this “downgrade” or am I crazy?

Just a suggestion, and one you may have tried already, but try turning off AOD in the settings. See if that helps improved the battery life for you
 
I noticed the 13 Pro was keeping its value compared to the 14 Pro on Amazon.nl, so I don’t think you are alone.
