What's the point in buying the normal 14 when the 13 is almost exactly the same and it's 100$ less?

because it isn't the same (not as good camera, a bit slower, a bit less bright) and it is 1 year less support and I keep phones until support runs out usually.

13's camera is still excellent for 95% of the population, the screen is also already bright enough.
I'll give you the 1 year of support, but it's still not as good of a deal as the pros if you REALLY care so much about the camera and the brightness

iPhone Upgrade Program essentially operates as a lease if you trade the phone every year. So, if you use the iUP like I do, it makes sense to get a new one every year.
That sounds like a massive waste of time and energy on both the consumer and producer's part. See you in like 6 fricking years when I actually need a new phone due to wear.
actually i work in the outback and we used those cheap garmin sat SMS devices and the issue is sometimes they delay by like 15 minutes sending and receiving, versus with a proper sat phone you can just explain in simple english to the moron on the other end what you want and where you are
i have a 13 pro and if this offered a full on sat phone i would upgrade instantly, but emergency text is no different from any other satellite SOS button on all the different devices
we are trying starlink RV soon which I think will make all this shit redundant

Muh iPhone 14. It does the same thing the iPhone 8 did, just a tiny weenie bit better. Fricking Americans. In debt to their necks, a thousand dollar phone in their pocket, a 50k USD pick-up in their driveway and 200lbs of fat on their bones. Unbelievable.
Most Americans should spend the thousand bucks they spend on their phone on their credit card debt or on a gym membership.
Fricking nothing it's the biggest scam, no one is going to tell the difference between this and an iPhone 12 let alone an iPhone 13. Maybe if you have an iPhone 11 and it's got a cracked screen it's time to buy a used iPhone 12.

My 12 still feels like new. I'll definitely keep it another year until the USB-C version, and probably a lot longer.
I've been quite careless with mine, dropping it more than once without a case. No cracks, no screen damage. Only blemish is a chip in the black paint on one edge.
Apparently the noise cancellation is better and they added a speaker to the case so you can find it easier with Find My. I lost one of my earbuds from my original pros recently so I wanted a new pair anyway.
Not that Anon but as owner of 13 Pro the “14/14 Pro” is a skip for me this year. I’m waiting for some further significant upgrades to camera system especially periscope zoom.
AirPods pro2? I would say an maintenance update with some improvements such as better active noise cancellation, new driver, better life battery or H2 chip with some extras to the case design such as wireless charging and easier to locate when lost somewhere in your home (something similar to AirTags)
Never going to happen, Tim will personally tell the EU USB-C(uck) gays to buy their Mom's an iphone and frick off. Lightning is the superior port. Airdrop is the superior file transfer method.
Bluetooth is a pain in the ass. I hate having yet another thing to charge always. Please God don’t let them take the last orifice away. I have to connect my headphones somehow.

I think that’s just if you’re upgrading, like the iPhone upgrade program or you’re taking it with a payment plan cause I don’t have that issue and I told them it was gonna be on T-mobile.
I am really annoyed that nobody will be able to tell I have the 14 because it looks the same as the 13. WHAT IS THE FRICKING POINT??? How will people know I am rich now
Im on the iPhone Upgrade Program, and I had only had to click a few times and then my order went through. Though, I did already do the pre-order of the pre-order stuff...Im also on AT&T

Based, I got one shortly after launch and it still feels as new. If it still works in 2-3 years I will either keep it as a backup phone or just give it to one of my siblings to replace their half decade old budget phone.
The one problem I have with it is its screen size, how annoying it fits in many of my pockets and how I can't reach the top of the screen with my thumb. I might follow the example of
I just got the 13 mini yesterday and it’s really nice so far.
I came from an S20 FE 5G (you may have seen me posting in previous generals) and the only real issue so far has been finding a YouTube Vanced alternative. I installed a cracked app through the AltStore but Google is being a homosexual and blocking everyone’s logins so you’re stuck in signed out mode. Hopefully they’ll find a workaround soon.
The biggest thing that stands out to me from iOS vs Android is just how polished iOS is. I thought One UI was nice, but wow iOS is just something special. It’s extremely smooth despite being on a 60 hz display. Also the Taptic Engine or whatever is in a different league from the motors on Androids.
The battery is alright and I imagine that it’ll get better once the phone learns my usage. I did just go in and nuke a bunch of useless location settings so I’ll see how that helps too. I’m looking in to getting a Benks MagSafe battery because I know I’ll need it for really long days.
Also I typed all of this from the mini on the iChan app (look into sideloading from the Altstore, it’s really easy and the apps are actually miles better than apps from the play store). That’s why everything has been capitalized.
and go for something smaller next time while giving iOS a try for once
I've got a 13 mini. Honestly its borderline too small, but I don't spend all day on my fricking phone so I wanted a small phone and switched to iphone from android for it. It's honestly fine, but if I do a lot of texting my hand does start to feel it. Not enough of a problem for me to regret it though.
I think I'm gonna love it since the iPhone 13 mini is literally the same size as my XZ1 Compact (literally the same size horizontally and vertically) and the XZ1 Compact is the perfect size for me.

Can't you only install like 2 apps tho with altstore? The logout thing sucks tho. But yeah only reason I haven't got iPhone is for IQfy app and vanced....
Got one for my mom, it's pretty gud for an Aplel device. Battery isn't the greatest but that's par for the course. Hopefully they'll come to their sense and make a mini for the next gen, she doesn't like big phones.

I tried Swappa but all i get are Ukranians and Indians low balling me and asking dumb questions that are already answered in the description.
Why can you still buy the 13 but not the 13 pro on their website?
Also is it worth getting 14 pro over the 14? How does resale hold up on pros vs standard? If it holds up idc I'll drop an extra 200. Switching from Android so idk any of this iPhone stuff
The peasant model isn't any better than the previous year’s. The Pro model is based and redpilled.
bros what is good budget? Im so sick of seeing shitty android phones lagging when I click something but I also dont want to frickign get a new phone every 4 years. Is there anything future proof?
Would Iphone SE be a good choice? no bullshit please
Get the iPhone 12 if you wanna save some money, the SE isn’t the best one. The iphone 12 is still a good phone.
>iphone se
just put up the extra $170 and get the 13 mini
the se looks outdated, has the worst battery life of any iPhone currently sold, and has the least features
also the 13 mini will probably hold its value much better than any other modern iPhone because it's the last small iPhone until further notice
you'll be better off in the long run with a 13 mini
How long would a iphone 13 mini last in the long run? Software wise? I remember having a ipod touch ages ago that did not let me update apps or install anything after a few years and became obsolete
Is it based and red pilled enough to pay an extra two bills tho? That's the question. I don't give a frick about flexing.
Look, if you’re not gonna get the pro models get the 13; or don’t, do whatever you want.

The iPhone 8 (2017) is getting iOS 16 so that's 6 years of support at least. This isn't counting the security updates you'll get occasionally when major vulnerabilities need patching (the 5S just got a patch and that came out in 2013).

I thought consooming was a meme but my colleagues are literally gushing about the new phone and rushing to buy them when they already have the previous iPhone
consooming is 100% real, especially with status items like the latest iPhone
the real redpill is buying the iPhone you like at the right price and then holding onto it for as a long as possible
buying an iPhone today and replacing the battery occasionally will save you in the long run compared to buying a new android every few years
Ordered a 14 pro msx in 512, upgrading from a Galaxy S9, first iphone tbh. Does that ceramic screen coating work or is it just a meme and I should still get a screen protector?
I have never used a screen protector on any of my phones. I think the idea is stupid. You pay a thousand dollars for a state of the art screen and then put a piece of plastic on it so it looks like a low end TN LCD
I hesitated for 2-3 hours and now I gotta wait an extra month for delivery. It's my first iShart product and it better be worth it. Had to buy the charger and charging cable separately, already feeling grim with this decision tbh, like I got scammed.
No need, glass is transparent. Been using a full coverage glass protector since my iPhone Xs, now my 12 Pro. No effect on camera use nor faceid.
Plus, if they did use a cutout, you'd have to a) align that fricker exactly or see how off it is every time you turn it on and b) dust it out continuously and still notice it every time the ui expanded it for a notification.
Anyone else on the X/11 waiting for the 15 to upgrade?
I was thinking about the 14 Pro, but I figure I will hold out another year and then just get then 15 Pro/Pro Max, hopefully with the newest chip and USB-C.
Probably going to end up getting a 14 Pro in a few weeks. Coming from an S8 and looking at what new android looks like I'm not a fan. Had a 5s back when so the UI looks completely foreign to me.
I feel like a massive boomer being afraid of using a newish UI scheme without a "home button", be it physical or digital.
Do most apps also have back buttons at the top left still or do you use gestures for going back? I may be misremembering but I swear that was how it was done on my old 5s...
Cheers mate.
Kind of interesting seeing how much I pay for a top-ish end phone has progressed over the years. Paid 1k for the 5s, then 1200 for the s8, and looking at 1800 for the 14 pro 256gb.
My s8 is basically fricked though; Mic doesn't work, battery only lasts 6h, screen burned in, charging port is a gamble, and still on android 9.
You get used to it pretty quick. I went from the Note 20+ to the 12 PM. I like Android, but I got tired of buying a new phone every other year. As I get older, I just want something that gets the job done for as long as possible.
Get the most that you can afford to futureproof. I have a lot of podcasts set to auto download plus I download YouTube videos and I've hit a wall with 256. When I order the 15 PM, it's going to be 1 tb.
The camera system is a spit in the face to photographers and videographers. The implementation of smart hdr and over sharpening makes such a fake looking image, not to mention its vivid profile that makes everything look like a Walmart TV department. Frick that noise, stay with a camera and some lenses.
I bought a 13 pro earlier this year and I'm happy with it, no reason to get the 14 pro. I did buy the 2nd gen airpods though since I never had any to begin with
good question tbh, I'd probably just go with the 14 pro for longest support. >complaints about the cameras
on the 13 pro? I don't take too many "high quality" photos but I've never had an issue with it
Wouldn't 14 be supported for a longer time? A week waiting doesn't seem like too big an issue vs being force killed by apple a year or so sooner. Or do you think they'll both be killed at the same time?
>1200€ extra
the iphone 14 starts at 799 moron
if you want a budget phone the a52 is a good pick but its cameras and performance are leagues below the iphone
also the a52's display while it's got more hertz is dimmer and has lower ppi
I'll take good hardware with shit software over shitty hardware with shitty software anyways.
That said, software is literally the defining edge for pixel devices outputting higher quality images, better voice recognition, advanced photo editing and many more features apple is 10 years away from implementing.
>he doesn't know the difference between GB and GiB
Typical iToddler. I mean you don't even know how a filesystem is structured. Files and folders are a strange notion to you...
>starts at $429 >same chip as NEW iphones starting at $799+, better than all andrioids >great battery life >5G >perfect size (jonny ive knew his design shit)
you can buy this TWICE and still have $400 for other shit
>Also, anything less than 1TB is cucked
My Z Fold 2 is 256GB and, after using it heavily for two years, has 112GB remaining. Why would you load your phone with shitty apps and games?
Every year, I buy the new iPhone. Each one is like a time capsule of that given year. They are all loaded with tens of thousands of photos and videos. One photo in Apple ProRAW with this new one takes up nearly 100MB. Nevermind 4k@60FPS. I don't skimp out. I simply buy the best.
Droid cucks will never understand. Those chinks shove all the tech specs in there with zero to none actual software optimization to ever utilize. Big cameras - still take shit photos. Big batteries - still don't last a single day. Not to mention that droid is literal overt foreign spyware. Zero security. Better not have MetaMask on your droid. They love it, though. All they can ever do is just cope and seethe.
It’s nothing but I’m wondering if it’s just an already excessive difference for something I won’t notice if I’m coming from a 7. Not sure how much better the camera is and personally I don’t like how the new pill is large and comes down into the display more, seems more noticeable.
160 could be used for so many other things it’s just hard to not keep wanting to spend a little more.

The small one facing us on the 13 line is the 13 mini. The 13 and 14 standard versions are both 6.1” screens.
If you look at 14 and then 14 Pro it looks like the notch separated from the top and wandered downwards a little bit
Critical thinking is lacking.
I'm upgrading when the iPhone 15 comes out, I want USB-C
You might have to wait a decade longer, anon
Never going to happen, Tim will personally tell the EU USB-C(uck) gays to buy their Mom's an iphone and frick off. Lightning is the superior port. Airdrop is the superior file transfer method.
Dropping the sim slot on US phones pretty much confirms they will drop the drop the power/data port entirely
Bluetooth is a pain in the ass. I hate having yet another thing to charge always. Please God don’t let them take the last orifice away. I have to connect my headphones somehow.
you WILL keep ze wireless transceivers active all the time
and you will like it
I'm going to bite on the iPhone 14 Pro - that high MP camera is my reason. My current iPhone 11 is ok, but I do have to spruce up my images quite a bit.
nice photo
this is really dumb bro, just buy a nice Canon or Nikon camera.
can you fit that in yuour pocket and will girls at the pub want to frick me because i have it?
no.
>and will girls at the pub want to frick me because i have it
Actually yes, girls love professional photographers.
a pro has like a 20k camera and multiple lens setup
iphone is 1k with nice camera already installed and 3 lenses
also the best camera is the one you have with you
Had the cops called on me for having a big camera in a park last year. The days of socially accepted interchangeable lens cameras are gone.
>this is the ordering process for a new phone in 2022 in a first world country
I think that’s just if you’re upgrading, like the iPhone upgrade program or you’re taking it with a payment plan cause I don’t have that issue and I told them it was gonna be on T-mobile.
DYNAMIC ISLAND
Im on the iPhone Upgrade Program, and I had only had to click a few times and then my order went through. Though, I did already do the pre-order of the pre-order stuff...Im also on AT&T
Well even checking our accounts is broken.
Nah I'll stay put kid.
I am really annoyed that nobody will be able to tell I have the 14 because it looks the same as the 13. WHAT IS THE FRICKING POINT??? How will people know I am rich now
It even has the same chip dude… the insides are the same too.
T-mobile servers are overloaded. Can't buy it!
>live on the outskirts of the 1st world apparently
>all the stores are saying "soon"
>there's no pre-order
>there's no price
>there's no release date
Will probably ending up losing all enthusiasm and saving the money, who knows, maybe January bills will indeed be >500 euro.
Deep purple pro max 256
I got the iPhone SE, really compact and cheap.
Let me guess... you need more?
I need wayyyy more
DO IT!!!
>buy your mom an iphone loser
Absolute Gigachad.
>omg the big rich man I've never met is telling me what to do again
>absolute gigachad
have a nice day
just buy your mom an iphone anon
Given I love her, I refuse to give her such complete trash. Thanks for the suggestion, though. You still need to neck yourselves.
>not strapping an apple watch on your Mother simply for the SOS features.
It's like you want her to die
Fortunately, unlike you, I live in the first world.
But you can’t afford an iPhone? LOL
iToddlers always conflate taste with poorhomosexualry
I just don't want to buy a phone I won't actually own, sorry!!
It's okay, you can just admit you're too poor to afford one!!
because it's the only "argument" they can make.
in reality, their devices are shit. every fricking day at work, some toddlergay has to ask me to do something trivial for him on my machine because his shitty locked down system can't interact with the rest of the infrastructure.
the only thing left to them is to boast about the fact that they paid more money for a more useless product. the same how some nouveau-riche will buy an ugly as frick watch just because it can be recognized as having cost a lot of money.
the most superficial of minds.
Just buy your Mom and iphone poorgay
what's the seething about green bubbles? does it send text message? yes. literally a problem created by people who have nothing better to do
Lol imagine no air drop. Imagine sending images the size of a pea. Imagine ruining group texts
ruining group texts? imagine not using a proper testing program.
>airdrop
literally a solution is search of problem with fancy name appealing to zoomers
Cope¿
i'm all for apple but i don't even airdrop deez nuts
I literally did this for my Mom. She's still using her 7 Plus. She's gonna shit a brick. Can't wait to see her reaction.
I'm this > < close to ordering a purple 14 pro anons, should I do it? I kinda want to see it in person before i order.
I just ordered that model, upgrading from an XR so this better blows my mind because I gave up the cool as frick Alpine Green 13 pro for this.
The CNET video said the purple is almost two tone and reminiscent of 1980s Batman.
i might buy a 13 mini for $600.
None.
Business people are are switching to the samsung fold
Apple is for teenagers
>Thank you Apple for subsidizing AMD's use of 5nm TSMC lithography.
I think the 14's processor is 4nm
the 14 pro's is, the 14 uses the same A15 chip as the IPhone 13 pro, which is 5nm
it's 4nm
I'll be keeping my money, thanks.
Chadphone
Sticking with my 2020 SE until it either dies or is no longer supported.
Me with my SE 3 and the iphone 12 I’m about to replace with the 14 Pro Max
Based, I got one shortly after launch and it still feels as new. If it still works in 2-3 years I will either keep it as a backup phone or just give it to one of my siblings to replace their half decade old budget phone.
The one problem I have with it is its screen size, how annoying it fits in many of my pockets and how I can't reach the top of the screen with my thumb. I might follow the example of
and go for something smaller next time while giving iOS a try for once
I'm thinking of getting the iPhone 13 mini, since it is the last small fun this shit industry will ever get, at least for a long time.
Currently using XZ1 Compact.
Minichads, how it it?
Its as good as the iphone 12
I've got a 13 mini. Honestly its borderline too small, but I don't spend all day on my fricking phone so I wanted a small phone and switched to iphone from android for it. It's honestly fine, but if I do a lot of texting my hand does start to feel it. Not enough of a problem for me to regret it though.
I think I'm gonna love it since the iPhone 13 mini is literally the same size as my XZ1 Compact (literally the same size horizontally and vertically) and the XZ1 Compact is the perfect size for me.
I just got the 13 mini yesterday and it’s really nice so far.
I came from an S20 FE 5G (you may have seen me posting in previous generals) and the only real issue so far has been finding a YouTube Vanced alternative. I installed a cracked app through the AltStore but Google is being a homosexual and blocking everyone’s logins so you’re stuck in signed out mode. Hopefully they’ll find a workaround soon.
The biggest thing that stands out to me from iOS vs Android is just how polished iOS is. I thought One UI was nice, but wow iOS is just something special. It’s extremely smooth despite being on a 60 hz display. Also the Taptic Engine or whatever is in a different league from the motors on Androids.
The battery is alright and I imagine that it’ll get better once the phone learns my usage. I did just go in and nuke a bunch of useless location settings so I’ll see how that helps too. I’m looking in to getting a Benks MagSafe battery because I know I’ll need it for really long days.
Also I typed all of this from the mini on the iChan app (look into sideloading from the Altstore, it’s really easy and the apps are actually miles better than apps from the play store). That’s why everything has been capitalized.
Can't you only install like 2 apps tho with altstore? The logout thing sucks tho. But yeah only reason I haven't got iPhone is for IQfy app and vanced....
I haven't really looked into it (I'm really only looking for like 2 apps) but I remember reading the limit was 3.
Got one for my mom, it's pretty gud for an Aplel device. Battery isn't the greatest but that's par for the course. Hopefully they'll come to their sense and make a mini for the next gen, she doesn't like big phones.
They only wanted to give me $400 for my Note 20 Ultra, no buy
You don't trade android phones at apple. They give very little money. They are offering me 370 for my s22 ultra. Sell it on your own.
Whats a good site for selling phones?
craigslist (or a local equivalent) and facebook marketplace are your only real options
Swappa
Silver
>sir, will you take $50, sir??
I tried Swappa but all i get are Ukranians and Indians low balling me and asking dumb questions that are already answered in the description.
None. My redmi 9t is good enough for texts, calls and porn. No need to replace it for now.
Is there a way to check specs? I wanted to compare my basic iphone 11 with the 14 models
Purp Pro Max, 256GB, no AppleCare and buying chinkshit case from Amazon.
Why can you still buy the 13 but not the 13 pro on their website?
Also is it worth getting 14 pro over the 14? How does resale hold up on pros vs standard? If it holds up idc I'll drop an extra 200. Switching from Android so idk any of this iPhone stuff
The older Pro models always get discontinued.
The peasant model isn't any better than the previous year’s. The Pro model is based and redpilled.
Get the iPhone 12 if you wanna save some money, the SE isn’t the best one. The iphone 12 is still a good phone.
Is it based and red pilled enough to pay an extra two bills tho? That's the question. I don't give a frick about flexing.
How long would a iphone 13 mini last in the long run? Software wise? I remember having a ipod touch ages ago that did not let me update apps or install anything after a few years and became obsolete
Software support should last a good 5-6 years.
Look, if you’re not gonna get the pro models get the 13; or don’t, do whatever you want.
>Look, if you’re not gonna get the pro models get the 13; or don’t, do whatever you want.
Wasn't trying to be hostile I was just asking opinions. I haven't followed tech in a long time I just know I'm tired of android and I try to be smart with my money is all. I don't have an issue spending 1k on a phone if it's worth it. I'll look into the 13 vs the 14 pro. Thanks.
personally I'm upgrading from a 13 pro max and the features that enticed me were the higher MP count camera and D Y N A M I C I S L A N D
The iPhone 8 (2017) is getting iOS 16 so that's 6 years of support at least. This isn't counting the security updates you'll get occasionally when major vulnerabilities need patching (the 5S just got a patch and that came out in 2013).
Fricking iToddlers.
bros what is good budget? Im so sick of seeing shitty android phones lagging when I click something but I also dont want to frickign get a new phone every 4 years. Is there anything future proof?
Would Iphone SE be a good choice? no bullshit please
>iphone se
just put up the extra $170 and get the 13 mini
the se looks outdated, has the worst battery life of any iPhone currently sold, and has the least features
also the 13 mini will probably hold its value much better than any other modern iPhone because it's the last small iPhone until further notice
you'll be better off in the long run with a 13 mini
I thought consooming was a meme but my colleagues are literally gushing about the new phone and rushing to buy them when they already have the previous iPhone
consooming is 100% real, especially with status items like the latest iPhone
the real redpill is buying the iPhone you like at the right price and then holding onto it for as a long as possible
buying an iPhone today and replacing the battery occasionally will save you in the long run compared to buying a new android every few years
this one
I can just have sex with my GF and she lives in the same city as me
>don't buy a high quality gadget anon! your money is much better spent getting aids in asiaticland!
I bought a renewed iPhone 13 for $680 because it’s the last one that uses SIM cards. What am I in for?
good phone but the 13 pro max was the actual product that year
my gf is korean and i don't need to travel to frick her
also 1k will not even buy you plane tickets
I can get an iphone 7 for free how would it compare to a Pixel 5a?
The Pixel is better and newer.
Imagine paying whatever that phone costs when you can buy a Xiaomi with the same specs at 1/5 of the price.
Ordered a 14 pro msx in 512, upgrading from a Galaxy S9, first iphone tbh. Does that ceramic screen coating work or is it just a meme and I should still get a screen protector?
i have a couple of micro scratches (not visible when phone on) after less than a week of work
but in my worki deal with all sorts of mineral dust that is probably way harder than the best gorilla glass
a screen protector is like $5, you're probably stupid not to use one
I have never used a screen protector on any of my phones. I think the idea is stupid. You pay a thousand dollars for a state of the art screen and then put a piece of plastic on it so it looks like a low end TN LCD
Bought a moto G7 for $80 three years ago.
It just werks.
>Motorola has ended support for this phone with the 2/1/2021 security update
even with 30 different crypto miners running on it. pretty impressive
>So which one did you guys order?
not a fan of buttplugs but hey - to each his own. no judging.
14 pro max and series 8 coming next friday
upgrading from a 11 and series 5
had the 13 pro max for almost a year now. Don’t see any point in upgrading it yet, I think I’ll keep using it for another 3 or 4 years
I hesitated for 2-3 hours and now I gotta wait an extra month for delivery. It's my first iShart product and it better be worth it. Had to buy the charger and charging cable separately, already feeling grim with this decision tbh, like I got scammed.
No, brother. It will be amazing. Well done
I ordered only like 20 minutes after pre-orders had begun and shipping dates were already at Oct 3-10
Just now put an order in with Best Buy, and they claim it'll arrive by the 16th.
Guess we'll see if that delivery date slips.
I ordered mine as soon as pre-orders started + the time to type in the cc details etc. get
Charging cable is included.
>I hesitated
You will never make it
>C032252C
you can use your normal charger for it
14 Pro but with 256 GB because I’m not a poorgay lol
mutts really do spend thousands of dollars to get a shiny new spyware no different from the other
14 Pro Max with 1TB storage for maximum phoneposting
How come the majority of the screen protectors aren't including a cutout for the cameras?
Because they're dumb. Always end up grimy around the cutout. Don't get one
No need, glass is transparent. Been using a full coverage glass protector since my iPhone Xs, now my 12 Pro. No effect on camera use nor faceid.
Plus, if they did use a cutout, you'd have to a) align that fricker exactly or see how off it is every time you turn it on and b) dust it out continuously and still notice it every time the ui expanded it for a notification.
>128GB
lmao
Which Note is that? Does it have expandable storage?
S22 Ultra 1TB
>order
You aren't going to make it, loser.
Anyone else on the X/11 waiting for the 15 to upgrade?
I was thinking about the 14 Pro, but I figure I will hold out another year and then just get then 15 Pro/Pro Max, hopefully with the newest chip and USB-C.
Someone talk me into buying silver or space black. Objective benefits of either color?
I can't speak for the black, but I've got a silver 12 PM and it still looks brand new. I do keep a case on it, though.
The Deep Purple confers a +5 charisma bonus.
Probably going to end up getting a 14 Pro in a few weeks. Coming from an S8 and looking at what new android looks like I'm not a fan. Had a 5s back when so the UI looks completely foreign to me.
I feel like a massive boomer being afraid of using a newish UI scheme without a "home button", be it physical or digital.
Do most apps also have back buttons at the top left still or do you use gestures for going back? I may be misremembering but I swear that was how it was done on my old 5s...
Yeah generally there's a back button at the top left, but you can also swipe from the left edge of the screen to go back, too.
Cheers mate.
Kind of interesting seeing how much I pay for a top-ish end phone has progressed over the years. Paid 1k for the 5s, then 1200 for the s8, and looking at 1800 for the 14 pro 256gb.
My s8 is basically fricked though; Mic doesn't work, battery only lasts 6h, screen burned in, charging port is a gamble, and still on android 9.
You get used to it pretty quick. I went from the Note 20+ to the 12 PM. I like Android, but I got tired of buying a new phone every other year. As I get older, I just want something that gets the job done for as long as possible.
128GB vs 256GB?
I feel like 128GB is really too small with these newer phones and is a poor man's choice.
Get the most that you can afford to futureproof. I have a lot of podcasts set to auto download plus I download YouTube videos and I've hit a wall with 256. When I order the 15 PM, it's going to be 1 tb.
none.
i''m sticking with my iphone 13 pro max
i don't need that dynamic island shit.
The camera system is a spit in the face to photographers and videographers. The implementation of smart hdr and over sharpening makes such a fake looking image, not to mention its vivid profile that makes everything look like a Walmart TV department. Frick that noise, stay with a camera and some lenses.
But they’ll look cool for instagram and twitter.
I have a friend who bought a $1000+ DSLR camera and she shoots in "vivid" mode.
basically
I'm not gonna consoom the new goyphone
I'm just not gonna consoom harder is all hahahahahahahahahahaha
ok? you do you pal
I bought a 13 pro earlier this year and I'm happy with it, no reason to get the 14 pro. I did buy the 2nd gen airpods though since I never had any to begin with
Do you think you buy the 14 pro if you were buying now, or just the 13 pro? I've heard many complaints about the cameras tbh.
good question tbh, I'd probably just go with the 14 pro for longest support.
>complaints about the cameras
on the 13 pro? I don't take too many "high quality" photos but I've never had an issue with it
>complaints about the cameras
Yeah I've heard a lot of issues about them being blurry but also having a lot of trouble focusing on things.
Waiting for usb c in iPhone 15
iPhone 12-14 is basically the same phones
my 6s just died. what color should i get the 14 pro?
Get a 13 Pro, save the difference. Same scenario for me.
Wouldn't 14 be supported for a longer time? A week waiting doesn't seem like too big an issue vs being force killed by apple a year or so sooner. Or do you think they'll both be killed at the same time?
I thought they'd be killed at the same time. Usually killed due to RAM size. Both are 6GB.
I went with the 14 pro in purple. I want the longer lifespan, as well as the +5 charisma bonus
The charisma bonus only works for POC

Feels good not being poor. Where are my deep purple fans?

Why? It dont even got sim card holder also that dumbass island
Just like it, plus my phone was getting long in the tooth anyhow.
I figure Apple will double down next year on le island.
Yeah but its overpriced not open source and you cant use sim cards
Either your fricked by the ecosystem or your in it for the watch
Space Black is so much better
As an owner of a52 5g I really struggle to understand the selling point of iphone 14
>heres 1200€ extra for a worse screen
Oh ok
>1200€ extra
the iphone 14 starts at 799 moron
if you want a budget phone the a52 is a good pick but its cameras and performance are leagues below the iphone
also the a52's display while it's got more hertz is dimmer and has lower ppi
Super AMOLED, 120Hz, HDR10+, 800 nits (HBM) 407 ppi
vs
Super Retina XDR OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 800 nits (HBM), 1200 nits (peak) 460 ppi
You'd always pick the 120hz screen with those options.
I'll be the normalgay who says I can't tell the difference between 60 FPS and 120 FPS.
that's being blind not a normalgay anon

Anything other than Space Black and especially Deep Purple is bad taste. Also, anything less than 1TB is cucked
Well as a white man I don't need any more black in my life.
Deep Purple is the only right choice
>Also, anything less than 1TB is cucked
My Z Fold 2 is 256GB and, after using it heavily for two years, has 112GB remaining. Why would you load your phone with shitty apps and games?
Every year, I buy the new iPhone. Each one is like a time capsule of that given year. They are all loaded with tens of thousands of photos and videos. One photo in Apple ProRAW with this new one takes up nearly 100MB. Nevermind 4k@60FPS. I don't skimp out. I simply buy the best.
You're just bad with money then. You do you.
Fortunately, for myself, money is of no issue.
Nor for me, but I'd rather spend it on more useful things. Just bought a '79 Les Paul Custom on Reverb, you should come over and jam sometime.
I just bought a Dan Wesson Kodiak. Picrel. Very useful. Especially on the trail. But I'm definitely down to jam. Have a drum set?
The tri-tone Kodiak is hot. I snagged a Specialist a month ago, and I'm not sure if I'd rather go for the Kodiak or a Staccato next.
You could have just said you're braindead

Droid cucks will never understand. Those chinks shove all the tech specs in there with zero to none actual software optimization to ever utilize. Big cameras - still take shit photos. Big batteries - still don't last a single day. Not to mention that droid is literal overt foreign spyware. Zero security. Better not have MetaMask on your droid. They love it, though. All they can ever do is just cope and seethe.
None. Stop consuming useless crap.

Why are you with the worst carrier on planet earth?
13 Pro is £1050, 14 Pro is £1209.
Do I really need more?
what's £160 really
It’s nothing but I’m wondering if it’s just an already excessive difference for something I won’t notice if I’m coming from a 7. Not sure how much better the camera is and personally I don’t like how the new pill is large and comes down into the display more, seems more noticeable.
160 could be used for so many other things it’s just hard to not keep wanting to spend a little more.
none, iphones suck. I did get the M1 Pro 14inch though which is pretty sick
Is there local stores in USA besides apple store where I can buy an unlocked iPhone? I just wanted to pick up the 13 today.
