lol. My major typo about my battery capacity. Itās showing over 4500mAh on all three apps that Iām using.
Got a tip for us?

I leave my phone face up while Iām awake, face down when Iām asleep
I'm probably the only one, but I actually liked the touch bar.
Iāve been playing with this phone all day.
Love the Dynamic Island! Played music last night to get a feel of it (the speakers still sound great), dug the animation and ease of switching. Then I was on a call this morning and I really loved the wave response to our voices as we spoke! Nice! Took a moment for Podcasts to use the Island, but that started as well. As far as apps go, I was using Apollo earlier and the dev added a feature where a little gigabit pet plays and sleeps on the top of the Island while you use the app. Cute and non-distracting. Canāt wait to see more creative ways in which apps use the Island. Oh, I downloaded Hit the Island too.
Iām also excited for the customization to the lock and Home Screens (FINALLY). Been having fun with that. Iām using the Photo Shuffle to cycle through some travel memories. This is my first time using photos instead of wallpapers for backgrounds so this all feels fresh to me.
I havenāt been out much today to take pictures. Nothing looks different on the few selfies and interior pics I took. Night Mode is definitely benefiting from the larger sensor. I took a picture in my bedroom in early dawn light and the picture came out as if the sun was Early morning and clear! Impressed with that much so far. I will be out more tomorrow and have to go downtown Tuesday, so plenty of opportunities to put the camera through different tests are coming.
That said, this AOD is going to take getting used to... actually I may just disable it. All day long, I would see the AOD and I would pick up the phone to hit the power button to turn the screen off which only woke the screen up, lol! AOD isnāt a feature I need on my iPhone, only on the Apple Watch. Iām also wondering if all of my inadvertent screen wakes put a drain on battery, but itās too early to say since this device is still settling.
My restore took a long time. So I plugged it in to charge. It got so hot a warning came up that the charging would stop until the phone temp went down. I unplugged it so it could cool down, but that caused a delay in the restore, so I had to restart the phone which helped the restore to continue. I went to bed before it finished. I donāt use a fast charger, but I may change my cables or get the MagSafe charger. So far I havenāt had any overheating since which is good.
Last thoughts:
Transferring eSIM was so easy and fast. Very pleasantly surprised.
Whoever is saying the Island looks bad in daylight is spreading false information.
The responsiveness and fluid animation and transitions is just the icing on this 14 Pro Max experience.

I liked the idea of the Touch Bar, but I used an external keyboard 99.9% of the time I was using the computer. Often I used the computer in clamshell mode so it was not even visible then.
So in another universe, it wouldāve been really great for me. I was sorry to see it go, but I use the function keys every day and they sure work better as physical keys.
No, but for the first time ever, I am stumped, i am legit lost trying to āpersonalizeā my wallpaper because you have to switch between wallpaper and āfocusā and once i set it one of them did not allow any phone calls to go through, Iām still trying to set up good sleeping, personal and driving ones but choosing wallpapers itās impossible!!!
I also feel Apple is giving me the run around on applecare +, nothing bad I just want to change the billing date, the apple store reps told me they can do it over the phone, over the phone told me to cancel my current plan and that it should let me sign up for it when I closer to the date I want to choose, but last time a rep told me to do that on A different device earlier this year the option to upgrade to applecare + disappeared and made it null and void on that device so Iām hesitant haha.
hereās the kicker hahaha I set it up for apple to call me but because of my personalized āwallpaperā my iphone and apple watch NEVER went off, not even the vibration, It wasnāt until I saw the missed call once i unlocked the phone that i saw it, so yes, I will be busy figuring this out!!! hahaha
PS I also noticed how some apps do not show up on the AOD screenā¦ I discovered you have to manually enable Them, so for sure Iām reading up the guide because itās a lot to take in but thatās part of the fun!
Im talking about a physical SIM. If you return an unopened phone with a physical sim the SIM wouldn't be used.
Yea sometimes the AOD is a new learning curve and like the past if i get notifications and screen turns on, i have my muscle memory to instantly hit the side button.
For a sec there I thought you shattered your phone. š¤£
You can get it for 30% off using the code THANKYOU on their website.
Yep, thatās been me today. I have some unlearning to do.
Blown away by the dynamic island on a phone call. (I am sometimes easily amused.)
Green is the other person. Orange is me. It works even when we both talk at the same time.
This is way better and more fun than the notch!

My friend has a recessed charging port so the cable can't connect and charge that way. She'll get an exchange. Clearly a one-off.
Whatās funny to me about your screenshots is your battery level!!!! My OCD kicks in!!!! Charge it!!!! š
might as well just keep it. Because what if you changed your mind to get the 512 gb and then you find defects? You have to start all over. lol
