TL;DR This is the first time I’ve ever said I hated an iPhone and I’m really thinking about going back to my 13PM.

My first day with the 14PM was an adventure. Launch day, I noticed that the network service is noticeably worse than the 13PM. Figured the network was congested. I had 5Ge and data and I couldn’t even send iMessages.
Then, Saturday morning, I had a 1.5 road trip. I had some stops to make prior, and that’s when I noticed that the GPS wasn’t functioning properly. Siri was telling me to turn 3 different directions at once and my overall location was maybe 10 miles off. Tried Google Maps same thing. Later found out about the 16.1 beta GPS bug. Side note: It works fine when using CarPlay.

Battery was down from 100% at 7am to 35% by 1pm. Likely because of GPS and all the network drops and data is probably still downloading in the background.
I also have to carry a microfiber cloth. I constantly find myself cleaning the dynamic island area. Then message tones weren’t working, even after confirming that it’s set up exactly like my 13PM.
Now that my frustration has settled, I’m going to keep it because I like more things than I hate. I’ll be carrying both phones because this one is unreliable right now.
