>I thought it was cool that they completely removed the SIM tray option.

You're the only one.

Phones are my hobby and Apple (so far) has lost an iPhone 14 Pro Max sale from me because my carrier (AT&T) makes it such a PITA to move the ESIM from an Android phone to iPhone and vice versa.

I've got a Pixel 7 Pro that I love and a 13 Pro Max that I love, so being able to swap back and forth whenever I want is a must. And after years of simply being able to pull the sim card and put it in the other phone, I refuse to go to a carrier store for a stupid QR code (this is AT&T's stupid policy).

I realize I'm in a tiny percentage of users, but the ESIM move from Apple was short-sighted and screwed phone enthusiasts. And AT&T needs to get with the times and update their antiquated system.

I just got my new 14 pro max about a month ago and I got a casetify case for it. The ultra drop resistance one I don’t remember the name but it’s the best one they offer. I honestly love it. My ONLY complaint is that the camera bump is SLIGHTLY too short for my liking. It’s sits maybe 2 millimeters lower than my lens protector. I’m talking, just a hair man. I somehow managed to break the lens protector within the first week, but haven’t had any issues since then and that was 3 weeks ago.

Depends on what you do with it obviously. Maybe you take a lot of 4K videos.

Let them replace the screen. You got a few options then, either an Apple Original, premium screen, or a cheap screen. Pricing differs

256gb is plenty. You have iCloud.

If you have the IMEI of the stollen phone you can report it to Verizon’s lost/stollen equipment department. Verizon will put it on their blocked list which instantly and permanently bricks the phone wherever it is, whoever has it, any carrier.

If you somehow got it back, repentant UPS driver let’s say, you and only you, can call Verizon to restore the phone to life.

I know there are bad people everywhere but when I order from Verizon everything comes FEDEX. I had thought Verizon switched?

Check out the OtterBox Core Series. They aren’t bulky like monster OtterBoxes, they’re 50% recycled if you care, and could be considered cute to some lol.

My wife has a white one in her 13 Mini and it looks like a jawbreaker. I just got a black one for my 14 Pro Max. The speckles are different on each case. They’re rubbery but not as sticky as silicone. They’re also not as flexible as a regular TPU/rubber case - when it’s off the phone, it doesn’t flex much. Great case so far.

FYI that case is only on OtterBoxes site and Apple.com from what I’ve seen. Also it looks like it currently has 2/5 stars on their site but the reviewers are just mad that they didn’t like the color options available?? So not a review on the actual product? Lol

Spigen and ringke

You need a screen repair.

ur apps have the harry potter invisibility cloaks

it ain't you, every week apples autocorrect worsens without fail

I’d just get a new phone at this point.

Ah okay. Fair point.

delete shit immediately, your phone will break and your shit will be gone for good.

Reach out to apple with a police report. My Apple Watch ultra was stolen by the UPS driver about a week ago. Caught the dude literally opening the box.

The iPhone 14s SIM card is internal, they just have to turn the SIM off and the phone is useless. That’s why Apple started doing this

What if people want a bigger iphone, but don’t need the features of the pro?

What if people want a regular sized phone, but with the features of the pro?

This is what I need to hear lol

Should be:

Budget option: iPhone SE

Small: iPhone mini

Medium: iPhone

Large: iPhone Pro Max

Hey I also struggled to get my new phone from ups. But luckily I got it. UPS is such a garbage company I don’t think I’m ever going to use them again. Next time I can just wait for a phone at the store.

You need to clear up some space. At least a gigabyte or two. Your phone literally cannot think for itself with 400MB. If that space gets eaten up, your phone could become a brick with your only option being to restore it and reinstall iOS.

Bro you will not need more than 256GB. I run 128Gb and still have plenty of space. Especially with everything being in the cloud.

What a painful process! Could you have initiated any f it before traveling?
