Friday is going to be like Xmas for me, ultra watch, AirPods, new phone!! 🤣🤣
I've never had an issue with sensitivity and screen protectors in my near 15 years of owning smartphones. Just don't buy cheap ones. This is what I've used on my last several devices and will be applying to my 14 Pro Max today. Very easy to install.

My main use for screen protectors now a days is to protect the oleophobic coating. Eventually it wears off in spots where you touch the screen a lot, at least for me. Happens with the protectors too, but then all I have to do is put a new one on.

Awww, thanks for the shout out ">@TheYayAreaLivingYou are the MVP, the Belle Of The Ball and our fearless leader.
@Brad7 Thank YOU so much for all the signature changes that were simultaneously helpful and made me laugh every time they were mentioned, and they were mentioned by many!
@Limeybasturd as always, you are my guy! Dopamine/seratonin rush from laughing myoff every time you post.
To everyone here, thank you so much for being patient with me, laughing with (and sometimes at) me, and making this a week I truly look forward to each year.
@Shh and the rest of the #4digitgang, we are bonded for life. We journeyed through the unknown and made it to the other side.
@Laryl, girl-you have been through it. Love your positive attitude. Keep growing those haworthia, and I hope this iPhone year is much better!
@rjjacobson Cheersto you!
Enjoy those iPhones, everyone. We earned them! Cant wait to do this again next year, with hopefully a (Product)RED Pro/Max in the lineup.
You are the MVP, the Belle Of The Ball and our fearless leader. 
off every time you post.

to you! Can I be an international member of the family? Lol
I’m in the uk and between you and me I do find the USA thread very entertaining by comparison.
Still working through this thread before I start the uk one however..
Well you do have to be doing something that activates it.. finally saw mine interacting on a couple things
Coming from a Pro, the battery life on the Pro Max is outstanding. SO much better!
Upgrading every year will make you an expert at putting these on lol
The dynamic island is dope when you’re on a phone call…love it
DP Pro Max 256 checking in. I usually case, but it’s tough with this color. It’s so luminescent. For now, to quell my OCD I have a totallee clear case on it. (I did get the Apple ink leather case too, but haven’t used it.)
Had to come back to this forum just one more time post-setup. Just wanted to key in my final experience migrating to this new baby.
I received my new phone yesterday about 2 hours earlier than the anticipated scheduled delivery date; I can tell you the migration process was seamless - power on the phone, let your existing phone find it and point the camera at the floating QR code and viola - all done; eSim setup took under 3 minutes as it was digitally provisioned, and AT&T quickly transferred my number.
I recommend doing an iCloud backup first, though it seems the phone automatically updates the latest backup on its own - I choose to restore from iCloud, which took nearly 300GB! about two hours, and the phone got so hot the island indicated "device will continue charging once it reached normal temperatures" so yes expect it to get warm if you have tons of stuff; I wouldn't leave it plugged in during restoration just to improve temperature.
If you're like me and you use Google Authenticator, make sure to export your auth accounts on your old phone and scan the QR code of the exported accounts on your new phone - this is VERY important, or you will lose all your 2FA keys; just saying to me that was an important step.
The phone is a beautify, always on works very nice, battery is fresh and holding - I noticed swifter transitions between windows compared to my pervious phone (13P) and the lag when checking/marking all mail messages is gone! that alone was worth the upgrade for me!
Either way, that's my take so far - am loving it, love re-exploring and re-learning my device and I hope you all share in the same experience.
Cheers!

Someone tweeted that when you are talking (on speaker phone) the waves in it (denoting voice) are green when its you talking and amber when its the other person.
Is that true?
So cool if so.
OH! ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE! - not all developers upgraded their applications to work with the new layout, for example - Youtube search conflicts with the location of the pill, or island - the padding/margin disappeared as there's no spacing in-between the search bar looks flush to the island which is aesthetically unpleasing... I hope app developers upgrade their code (minor upgrades) to accommodate the layout for a fluid look and UI.
Other than that, this phone is king!

Only having two issues so far on 14 pro Max. Forgot to remove my clipper card (Bay Area transit pass) so can’t add it to my new phone. Already erased and packed it up for trade in. If I reset it up will it be there and will I be able to remove it? Sadly already removed phone from iCloud so can’t remove it there.
2nd issue for Facebook only notifications are coming in as you have a notification no preview even though I have it set to give a preview if unlocked. Uninstalled and reinstalled waiting for a notification to see if this fixed it.

I only have 7 still on Google Authenticator. Plan to migrate them to the keychain app.
Went with the Spigen too. I had been using and liking the ones from ESR but heard the installation was easier with the Spigen so I thought I give it a try.I've never had an issue with sensitivity and screen protectors in my near 15 years of owning smartphones.

The Spigen's installation is better. The glass is already mounted in the locating frame. Peel the protector film off of the glass, mount the frame on the phone, then slide your finger down the frame's cutout which pushes the center of the glass down and then the bubbles flow out to the edges. Remove the frame and protecting film and you're done.
I did it right after I removed the film from the phone so no dust specks. The Spigen comes in a 2 pack just in case the first one gets messed up. Since the glass is already mounted in a frame, you also get two frames in the package.

It’ll take a bit but will get fixed! I remember when things were like this with the iPhone X for a while at launch - which was the first iPhone with the notch
I bought this for this first time and I’m loving it for my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It’s easy to install and very sensitive to touch, so it works for me.I've never had an issue with sensitivity and screen protectors in my near 15 years of owning smartphones.

Ok macro view of some flowers will do others later
Opposite here… I hated it as soon as I opened it. Didn’t even fully set it up. I returned it. Thought I’d try for a black one, but the store was completely out of that color. Rep even said his previous customer did the exact same thing, hated the purple and wanted to exchange for black. Oh well, I was kinda leaning toward keeping my 13 Pro anyway.
40GB used out of 256GB. I checked under Settings>General>iPhone storage and found a bunch of old podcasts I deleted. Maybe check there for stuff to dump or offload!
