I really thought I was going to miss the jailbreak from my XS Max, but 24 hours with my Pro Max and I love this phone. I still haven’t tested the camera out yet.
I haven’t tested mine, either. Nothing here worth taking a picture of lol. Don’t really go anywhere these days besides the grocery store because of COVID. Although I guess I could take pictures of the high prices and empty shelves. 🤑

Yeah man, I'm still struggling with the battery life of the 12Pro.... I just expected more. My X is still at 96% capacity and I almost feel like they're about the same in battery life.

PRO TIP: I find that if you keep your screen brightness at the LOWEST setting when you're not using the phone AND you try your hardest NOT TO USE the phone AT ALL that the BATTERY LIFE IS GREAT!!!

( 🤣 )

Side note: I'm going to stick to using the MagSafe charger as much as I can. I gave my phone the slightest hair thin speck of a scratch from "plugging" in the USB-C port in the dark.
They have not fixed the battery life bug in 14.2. So it should get better as soon as that fix comes. We just got 14.3 to test so I am not sure if they have a fix for that in there or not.

I just popped my Verizon sim in my sim free pro Max, and of course I got the text that I needed to update my SIM card, which I’ll stop by Verizon today to do
I put our existing AT&T Sim Cards into my new 12 Pro Max and into my Daughter’s “new” (from me) XS Max with no issues. Thank goodness!

I meant HomePod mini.. lol sorry

The USB-C end of the cable isn't the end that plugs into the phone, the lightning end goes into the phone...do you mean you tried to plug in the wrong end of the cable?
No, I just used the wrong terminology.. I think I meant the.... wait for... it........ the DONGLE(?)

(I really don't know the names of these things)

First day of typical use throughout the day on my 12PM. 10 hours so far. Battery at 77%. Time will tell how it compares to my 11PM. I get up at 6am, and at 10pm my 11PM usually had 20% battery remaining. On a heavier usage day I’d sometimes hit the low battery warning.
