Europe doesn’t have iMessage or FaceTime? You said fortunate enough not to have to use but neither is mandatory in the USA. There’s a setting to turn it off if you want to

iPhone 14 Pro Max The “I returned my iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max” Thread

Yea I'm amazed there is no restock fee for all the stories I see of people buying and returning.
I'm sort of glad there is no update right now for 13PM since I have to wait until Friday to upgrade (if I can find any in stock) so I don't have to worry about not being able to transfer again due to iOS mismatch
Probably a 13PM. When I got my 13PM through VZW, the 12PM was worth $800 instant and some installment credits.
Of course we have them but there's nowhere as much need or pressure to use them as in the US, because the huge majority of people use something else (WhatsApp, now thankfully Signal is getting more popular).
I for example have switched to iPhone since X (at launch) and have used Facetime twice, ever since, and iMessage basically never as I don't text anymore.
Thank you! Can't find any Pro/PM in stock refreshing somewhat often. But plenty of regulars. I blame Apple too for not being able to figure out the balance after a decade and a half
When I read the comments, I just hear little violins playing. Like really little. Tiny.
How absurd. What you’re saying can apply to ANY POLL. Just stop. This is off topic.
Yes is correct no matter the reason. Just like I said no because I haven't gotten it yet.
Not all of us have your phone. I have a 12 and also the iPhone 14 Pro camera bump is pregnant.
I think they’re referring to WhatsApp being overly used in Europe. To be honest iMessage is pretty prevalent in the U.K. as well. I for one do not use WhatsApp since Facebook acquired it. I’ve also managed to convert people on Android to use Signal for cross platform messaging needs instead of WhatsApp but there are some features in WhatsApp that have a very niche usage that I’m not part of personally but so many others are to my astonishment. Like being able to create groups with huge number of people.
I was on the same boat with 13 Pro, the weight annoyed me, not at first, it was a progressive thing.
The 13 mini was too small, so I finally ended with the regular 13 and is great. The 30 grams difference sounds like nothing on paper but on hands, is a big change.
Uh, no, the poll is obviously talking about returns as in "I don't want the 14 after all" not just "I want a different color". And it's also obvious that the OP didn't intend for people who don't even own the 14 to vote no - they have people in mind who've evaluated it in person and decided to keep it. Otherwise, everyone in the world who doesn't own the 14 could vote no, and that wouldn't make any sense. "Look, billions of people aren't returning their iPhone 14. They must be satisfied customers . . . . Oh, wait, they've never even used it" 🤣
So your post just proves how polls like these are not accurate at all.
"Absurd"? Calm down. And, you're incorrect - a properly administered poll, while not perfect, would easily eliminate many of these problems. For example, only people confirmed to have actually purchased an iPhone 14 would participate.
It's just another regurgitated talking point/excuse that people more than likely would have never brought up had they not heard/read about it first.
I think I’ve decided that although I love a lot of the new features of the 14 Pro, specifically the camera, AOD and Island. I think it’s going to go back tomorrow. I’ll also see if I can schedule a battery replacement for my 12 mini as well. Still deciding if it’s worth it to trade it in for a 13 mini.
I knew I’ve had hand and wrist problems before, but never knew how bad things actually were before switching over to the 14 Pro. Very bad hand cramps the last few days.

Do some weight training, drink and eat more protein
I returned my 14mp because of screen problems, now there are none to be found anywhere
Yes, It's ROCKET SCIENCE for the Manhattan Beach Store to have a almost new iPhone 13 Pro and a New 14Pro and they could not Pair it to eSIM. The Apple Store wasted my Time for Being STUPID! Stop Kissing Apple's Butt by trying to make me look like i cannot Pair a watch. Hey Both devices should've been Paired in the Manhattan Beach Retarded Store.
They wasted my time so they Get a Kick in the Nut's. I am not a Apple Butt Kisser. Too Bad Android is a terrible OS.

as its been said over and over and over again, it doesn't come down to fitness. going to the gym isn't going to make the phone any easier to hold. it's not going to change the weight distribution of the phone. it's not going to change how the phone feels in your pocket. you could be a bodybuilder, but unless you have shaq-like hands, phones of this size and weight are uncomfortable to use. to some, the benefits are worth that trade off. but for others in this thread, it's clearly not.

14 Pro going back here. And it's due to the weight, it's just too damn heavy.
Came from a 12 mini and loved the bigger screen, 120hz screen and dynamic island. But the weight, been trying to convince myself it's fine but it's not and you notice it every time you pick it up.
Going for a regular 14 and putting the extra cash on a new Apple Watch.
