iPhone 14 Pro Max Thinking of getting 14 pm help with deciding .

[ian87w]

Considering getting a 14pm upgrading from my iPhone 8 that I have had awhile. Now, is this a good phone ? Will I have any crazy bad issues with it like with hardware defects or anything of that nature? Should I just go for it and it’ll be a phone I shouldn’t have to worry about? I do the usual calls, videos , photos , FaceTime , some games here and there . Thanks

The 14pm is the 3rd revision of the flat design, so structural wise it should not have much issues. The only issue left imo is problems caused by the software, aka iOS 16. Since we are at 16.2 already, I believe most have been fixed, so you should be fine. I would get AppleCare if it bothers you.

This thread discusses cases for the 14 series. You should get some great ideas from this thread.

Hey, when I said it was carpy, I meant really carpy! Super ugly fake bling. But it works!

I actually decided to get this one because I had an overpriced apple branded leather case for my 12PM, and the screen cracked the first time I dropped it. I also am partial to red, and apple didn’t have a red one.

You should get the 14 Pro instead IMO. The 14 PM is a huge and heavy iPhone. Especially coming from an iPhone 8.

Don’t get it. The iPhone 14 pro max has massive stuttering in games like Genshin impact. I regret getting this phone because of it. If you don’t play games though I guess it’s ok.

One last question . A good grippy case with clicky buttons and isn’t insanely bulky? Prefer black . Thanks a lot

I have a 14PM with a QuadLock Mag case. Not bulky (at least to me) at all.

If you find a hardware defect in an Apple product, there's already 14,500 Class Actions

I've had it since day one and it is amazing. It really convinced me to upgrade after I decided to stay with the 12 PM for at least 4 years

Wait for another 9 months to get the 15 with USB-C.

I’d wait at least 21 months and get the 16 with the ultra fast A18.
