Im loving the island. I like the album cover of whatever Im listening to in there

Finally picked mine up at the Apple Store last night! Loving the purple so much! And I actually am presently surprised at how much I like the dynamic island.

I’m loving this iPhone 14 Pro Max over the iPhone 13 Pro Max. I can see and feel the difference in the various apps, screen brightness, etc. and of course, the iOS 😊

I am as well. It's fun to see how some animations mesh. I was listening to news via Audacy and my alarm went off which made the two icons spin together on the left.

The dynamic island is dope when you’re on a phone call…love it

I really like it, too!

Apple did awsome on designing the dynamic island

I really thought this thread would break 1000 pages yesterday, but I was wrong; everyone is playing with their new iPhones 🤣🤣

I just feel like why bother worrying about or taking the effort to turn it off when it’s pretty much wasted energy. I don’t need or really care about the aod, but it’s kind of nice. I sure as heck could care less what android does. I’m having fun discovering little things accidentally.. like what is that streak that bolts down to the text box when dictating a messenger message.. I’ll learn to ignore it but right now it’s a bit annoying and serves no purpose? Have you seen it?

I have a 14 Pro. I don’t need my screen to be awake all the time, it’s a distracting feature meant for you to keep interacting with your phone. It’s the same thing for the AW. What’s the point of having an AOD other than for looks? When you raise your hand or turn it around the watch screen wakes up anyway. When you raise your iPhone the screen wakes up too.

I have 4TB cloud storage but I don’t see it doing a thing

It's down to preference really. As I mentioned all the photos and videos I took over the years on my 11 pro max are still in their original formats in the cloud and automatically stored in the cloud after I shoot them. But iCloud works so well that you don't notice they are in the cloud. You can view them just like you would if they were stored on your phone.

I transferred from my 13 and left it on my desk when I came back the 14 is dead. It‘s on charger but nothing is happening . My 13 has no more service. The 14 is not visible in FindMy phone . Calling Apple support from my Google phone since all service on my iPad is disconnected. This is the worst iPhone release ever for me and I have had every phone one day one since release.

Interesting.. I don’t find it distracting at all.. my phone has been laying over there alone, nice to glance over and see the time or see if something did pop up.. but it’s cool that everyone is different in there reactions to features. I’m really loving it. Love it on the watch too, being able to glance down to answer hubby’s “what time is it” question without raising my arm or tapping has worked out great for me a few times.
I think it’s a convenient feature meant to be convenient not meant to push you into doing something you wouldn’t already do.. love the diff takes we have

Was originally a Oct 10-17 date, but yesterday canceled and got an in store pick up for today. In and out in 20 mins.

For your viewing pleasure....

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.

Isn't the new ceramic glass improved so a protector is not needed?

I dont think you've added enough weight to the phone.

 

[cousintim]

Gorilla Glass has gotten so much stronger that I don't see the need for a screen protector. And for those who upgrade every year, especially those who are on IUP, I don't understand adding a screen protector. YMMV.

 

[Htsi]

So, what screen protector r u guys using? I’m trying to decide if I should use one or go completely naked.

I bought a 3 pack of ESR. I scratched 4 screens on my 12 pro over the past 2 years and unless you’re happy changing screens a protector is a better idea. Belkin ultra glass would be the best one of the lot, apart from shellrus. Neither available where I am right now.

I just checked the apple website and pro & pro max models are now slipping into the end of October and into early November... DANG.

Not a big deal when there’s plenty of stock to do a store pick up.

A wallet is weight?

 

[anjo10]

I am obsessed.

It all depends on how you handle the phone. Screen gets scratched super easily if it falls in my car and hits the seat rails. I don’t enjoy screen protectors but getting the screen/phone replaced twice a year was getting too bothersome for me.

A wallet is weight?

Case + wallet makes an already heavy phone super heavy.
With unlimited claims on AppleCare I’m going to use only a screen protector and no case.
I dislike the weight and camera size on this phone for sure. A titanium frame would mean an instant upgrade for me next year.

 

[rjjacobson]

Very nice photos! I love the colors.

Thanks

S/he needs to add a few metal credit cards (e.g., Amex Platinum and Capital One Venture x).

Mine was delivered around 5:30 last evening. After having been dealing with a 5 year old iPhone X that had a dead pixel, multiple camera malfunctions, and really crap battery life, the 14Pro is a dream. I’m a bit disappointed that there are so few stock wallpapers and no new ringtones/text tones, but I love the AOD. I actually think it will REDUCE how much I pick up my phone!
I got a cheap, clear Spigen case with glitter for the weekend, and it actually looks super great with the deep purple color. My MagSafe otterbox is due to arrive Monday! Y’all can catch me over in the AWS8 shipping thread
