I have had black the past 4-5 years and can't do it again. Its the safer option, but need to change things up otherwise it will feel too much like the 14 PM. From what I am seeing from the pictures, I actually prefer what Apple calls black with the polished frame but that's me. I think in the longest time now that they have the brushed frame vs polished the white looks very clean. Really back and forth between that and natural.
I just checked my battery health for my iPhone 14 Pro and it's at 87%. My friend who has an iPhone 13 Pro Max is at 89% 🥴
Agreed! Although I’d have to admit that it’ll just get covered up by a case as soon I receive it. Even a clear case tends to take away from its natural beauty, and then it looks like most other smartphones.
Also have a 13 Pro Max 1TB, 88% battery life. Going for the 15 Pro Max 1TB.
Will you upgrade? 👀
I’d just let the figure it out. I remember this happening but they ended up refunding the extra payment and I didnt had to do anything to make that happen.
Short of a defective unit, battery health is going to be based on your charging habits. If you've "lost" that much battery health in a single year, then you don't understand how to properly charge and manage these types of batteries.
My 14 PM was bought on release day last year and it's still at 100%. It gets charged every day, occasionally more than once. I've never had an iphone go below 90% battery health and I've owned some phones for 3+ years.

Yes, you can. Although, I think there’s a limited to window to do it after you set it up.
Was no easy task, but finally settled on the Blue Titanium! Figured after having the Space Black 14 Pro Max (and hearing that the Black Titanium is reminiscent of the Space Black 14 Pro's) and that I could always get black next year, I'd go with the blue! Can't wait for Friday!
well anecdotally i’ve used the exact same charging habits on all my phones and 14 pro is the only to get to 88% in 1 year. I also seem to not be the only one if you look at any of the many threads on this issue, but thanks for the pompous snark
Nope. I had many iPhones before and charged them EXACTLY the same pattern - overnight wirelessly and they all were at 99% by the end of year 1. This is the first iPhone that has such a battery degradation. And also google
You'll see what I'm talking about...If you read my post, I literally said this in the first sentence - maybe yours are defective.
Otherwise it's not pompous, battery health will be maintained with proper maintenance and charging of these types of batteries. Explain how so many of us other 14 Pro and Pro Max owners still have battery health at 99%+ a year later?
People have complained about battery degradation on every single generation of iphone.
My pre preorder is in for a 512 Max White. Excited! And in total first world problems, I’ll have to buy WiFi on my flight returning to the US from London just so I can preorder my iPhone during the flight back. 🤣
In addition to what @dudeski and @Elastep said, you shouldn't even have to “properly charge and manage these types of batteries.” Your phone is meant to work for you. I shouldn’t have to doing a bunch of battery management to keep my battery lasting. Are there things you can do if you want to maximize health? Sure. But you shouldn’t have to.
I’ve never had an iPhone battery capacity lower than 97% after a year, and now I’m at 92% on my 14PM and it hasn’t even been a year yet. Additionally, it’s the biggest battery I’ve ever had in a phone which theoretically should mean that the battery degrades more slowly than all the iPhones I previously had. It doesn’t make sense.
Hey all, question...
So, long story short, I have a history with my main Apple ID and order being canceled by Apple for no reason. I don't know why, it just is that way.
However, I was thinking. I could use my secondary Apple ID for the pre-pre-order (which is really only for my developer account) this time around. Here's the thing: I have NEVER used it to order anything. So, my question is, if I place the pre-pre-order using that Apple ID, will the payment and billing information be validated - or approved - ahead of time (before Friday) so that I'll know if it'll get cancelled?
Note: The billing name/address as well as the shipping name/address is not the same as my Apple ID's (though I didn't put any addresses on file for that Apple ID)
I guess I just don't know if it's worth the risk...
