Ahh! Yes! I will always remember the iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max. It will always remind me of COVID-19. During that time, everything was on shut down and the whole world was so scared. I remember Apple delaying the iPhone until late October. It was a struggle to wait that long.

As far as upgrading your iPhone goes. I think you are going to be the happiest person in here. Massive upgrades coming for you. Dynamic Island, 120Hz Display, Periscope Camera, Amazing battery life, and more importantly the bigger screen will be a total game changer. You get to experience it all. You made the right call upgrading to an iPhone Pro Max.

I hope you will return back and upgrade to an iPhone 16 Ultra next year and not going to make me wait another 3 years for your return. 🥺🥺

I'll do my best, but I don't upgrade every year like everyone else.

But I cross fingers that you'll get the invite to be at Apple headquarters next year to witness the keynote and be amongst all the reviewers. You deserve that honor for all you do here. 🍎❤️

I’m at 89% with my 14Pro. I use optimized charging, but with lightning cable. Every day I need to charge by late afternoon (even in low power mode) because I am in single digits, and I am not scrolling on the phone all day 51 weeks out of the year. Today I have already had to charge twice, and I am currently at 42%. Low Power Mode has been enabled all day. Hoping I have a much better battery in my 15Pro Blue Beauty, because Deep Purple has sucked.

I mean in that case sounds like you might be better off with a 15 Pro Max. From WSJ: "As far as battery life goes, none of the iPhone 15 models I tried lasted significantly longer than their predecessors. Yet one of the main reasons I am getting the 15 Pro Max this year is that it’s lasted at least two to three hours longer than the 15 Pro."

Are you sure 5W is the right choice? 🤪

My 14PM is at 94% with optimization enabled and MagSafe charging at bedtime. My usage by bedtime is typically around 50% which is when I have low power mode automatically kick in. Very rarely due I charge via the lightning port.

 

[hinrgmike]

I'm going to join you and use a 5W adapter to charge my phone... but I won't do that crazyness you did with the dongle lol. Just simply getting a USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker. I'm a little traumatized with my 14PM battery health being down to 90% already...... I charge overnight anyway so don't need fast charging. I do have some 30W usb c chargers laying around though for moments when I'm in a pinch.

My 14PM is also sitting at 90% capacity now. That's about where I am every year at upgrade time. Charge daily to 100% and end day between 5% to 18%. Usually do a fast charge with 30W charger but when traveling just rely on Anker battery pack for daily charge ups.

What would you do with old 14 Pro? Deciding if i should eventually trade in 14PM with 89% battery(451 cycles).

@Bananasaurus Where are you? Where is your tracking number?

I just finished celebrating my mother's 60th birthday. No idea where the tracking number is. Have you received your medieval charging kit yet?

 

[Wolfs]

@rjjacobson and @AeroSatan (and if there was a 3rd person with a birthday today remind me please), birthday cheers again to you both and thanks for inviting us all to your birthday iPhone tracking watch party. Hope you both had a great day!

Just spending my evening watching all the iPhone keynotes from the past and reading these threads.

 

[Fozzybadfeet]

It's been my go to for months..you won't be disappointed

Thanks for confirming my decision. Will be ordering one too.

 

[Bananasaurus]

Only one way to fix this. Invest in Apple Polishing Cloth. But you guys are laughing at me. Fine… I have a confession to make. Some of y’all love iJustine in here. She approves it too.

She said, a premium cloth.

Hopefully this is helpful. Also, tagging you @BreakingKayfabe @Bananasaurus both of you guys need to watch this video with carefully. Turn caption on too.

I am absolutely not watching this. Actually ... her 15 Pro Max review was quite entertaining. She went scuba diving with the phone with some crazy underwater kit. People give her a lot of crap, but I don't see any other YouTubers doing that during a review, lol.

 

[Bananasaurus]

Thanks! I hope you really mean that. No one in my life ever called me a homeless person until @Bananasaurus pointed that out. I got hit with that word twice too. The struggle was real last time. 😬😬

I didn't call YOU a homeless person. I was merely stating that your charging behavior mirrors that of what a homeless person might do.

I would love that-but size and weight are just too much for me-wish I had long, hand-model fingers. This hasn’t been an issue on any of my previous phones so hoping this was just a fluke. If not , I may just have to go big or go home next time.

And that's after a year, my 12 Pro was down to 90% in 9 months 🫠

 

[AnOracle]

14 Pro w/ 95% battery health. I don't know what I did either.....I never really paid attention and just plugged it in when i felt like it and had it plugged in overnight

You don't need model-piano hands and fingers - you just need 2 hands to operate this double handed sword(light saber).

One of my friends is maybe 5'0" at best and uses a 14 Pro Max. I held it for a while and felt it was too heavy for me. But the 15 PM reviews this year suggest the weight of the PM is comparable to the old Pro, I guess because of lower density.

I have tiny Smurf hands and I handle the Pro Max just fine.

 

[EricExtreme]

My deep purple 14 pro max is at 98% capacity after a year. In an average day it is down to 30-40% remaining power when I go to bed and I plug it in at that time. I don’t plug it in any other time.

Buy the new Apple FineWoven Glove with MagSafe. It will allow you to magnetically hold your Pro Max with just one hand and you can swipe or tap with the other.

My 12 Pro was at 90% after just 181 cycles, and less than a year after I got it. I was disturbed by the sudden fall and somehow managed to get Apple to replace the whole phone.

My 13 Pro is at 86% after 2 years. (Using Apple's metrics and not CoconutBattery). I've had it shut down at 4% and refuse to turn back on, and also sometimes on the MagSafe charger the phone will crash and restart. But Apple wouldn't replace it.

It's nighttime so I guess we're talking about chargers again? I've given my sister several fast chargers and USB-C to lightning cables but she still refuses to use fast charging on her iPhone.
