I’m not talking about which is the best overall. I wouldn’t change my 14 pro for any phone to be honest. DXO mark is a cool website, but I’m talking about personal experience, and what other Redditors wrote here on this very subreddit, so real life stuff. Also on YouTube it didn’t even get to the top 5 camera phones on MKB anonymous poll.

It just feels good, when you use it.

Yeah - post a video of you and all of your friend’s phones that are replicating this issue

Been an Android user ever since the Nexus S days. Was really hyped for Android Wear but sadly nothing ever lived up to my expectations. I finally said F it and moved over to iPhone so I could actually have a functioning Smart Watch.

It also helped that I already owned a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV 4K, so everything kinda just jives now.

The 14 pro does have one of the best cameras according to DXO mark. The pixel 7 pro has 1 point more and the huawei mate 50 pro has 3 points more, but is just as expensive and worse than the iPhone 14 pro in every other category.

I remember being tempted by the S8+ at the time. I never did get one as I started drooling over the new iPhone X at the time it was announced. As it was radically different from any iPhone before it was released. And being futuristic compared to really anything else out at the time. It also didn’t help being a high school student who had very little spending money. I remember being blown away by my iPhone 11 when I got with stimulus money in April 2020. It’s kinda how the iPhone 14PM blows me away as being different from its predecessors. Along side its improved camera system and the purple color. Offered this time around is just gorgeous.

To you, does it look like my phone died at 12:53am?

I‘ve had the Galaxy S2 up to the S8. The S8 was such a bad phone that I sold it only one week after buying it. Then I wanted to try something different and bought an iPhone 7. I liked it so much that I stayed with iPhones and even switched to iPads. I always used Macs and it was kinda more comfortable when everything fits right into the ecosystem.

I had an iPhone 3G back when it was released which I ended up losing. I picked up a Blackberry Bold 9000 to replace it and 2 weeks later I found the 3G. At that point I enjoyed the BB more so I sold the iPhone. Eventually sold the BB and went back to Android because I missed the app support and customization with rooting and custom roms. Rooting became a thing of the past so I learned to be content without it. I still would follow the iPhone releases over the years and decided that the 14 Pro models and iOS 16 offered enough of an upgrade to previous models to warrant giving it another shot after 13 years.

Coming from a Z Fold 3 to the 14 Pro has been kind of a breath of fresh air in some aspects. Having a phone that is smaller, lighter, better battery life, and far superior camera performance has made the switch quite enjoyable.

High Performance

I have the 12 pro and love it! It takes amazing night shots too!!!

My first smartphone was an iPhone cuz my girlfriend had one and I liked it. I just never switched.

Combination of reasons: started working for a company that supports both Android and iPhone and got to see a bit more how the sausage is made. Android is a fucking mess - you end up with a header file somewhere saying, effectively, on this chipset from this manufacturer on this version of Android (which will never be updated) do this workaround because it doesn't do what it's supposed to. Our lead for Android had a Windows phone as his daily driver, back when Windows phones were a thing... This issue is probably mostly avoided by sticking to Pixels I reckon, however.

Also, got sick of the utter mess of crapware on Samsung phones - duplicate (Android / Samsung) versions of all the major apps, Facebook being uninstallable etc. - again, stick to Pixels I guess?

But the major reason was probably the Apple Watch - I wanted one, the Android offerings are miles behind, and you need an iPhone for that.

I agree about the 13PM being a bit big for pockets. I use an OtterBox Defender that comes with a belt clip. The camera system is phenomenal on the pros. I use to have the 11 with the dual camera system. But ended up stuck with the SE 2 for about 13 months. When I switched carriers in 2021 to Verizon as my 11 was still carrier locked. I went from my 5S to a 6s Plus to the 11 then the SE 2 and finally the 13PM. A Pro Mini would sell like hot cakes in my honest opinion. The only thing stopping them in my opinion is how big the camera bump would be.

If it’s only for the camera, It is known that the iPhone 14pro is not the best phone for pictures but just for videos, you can check on this subreddit.

Also the camera improvements from a 13 pro are not that big. My colleague has a 13pro max, we took the same pic at the same time and the differences were next to none, sometimes the 13 was actually better than my 14 pro

My first mobile phone was a Nokia 6190, I think back in 1996 or 1997. In 2008 I had an LG Chocolate KG800 before I picked up an iPhone 3GS. It was such a drastic change from the phones I was used to and did more than I could have thought a phone was capable of. I’ve never had a reason to move to another brand of devices. iPhone revolutionized the mobile phone market and every other smartphone manufacturer is just following along.

Wait for the 15

my dad has a X and he would frequently use it upside down from the moment it was out of his pocket, not just in one app. i know this bc it annoyed me.

I have flipped back and forth between iOS and Android since the OG iPhone and T-Mobile G1 were first released. I like iOS because its fast, stable, and just works. They are costly though, I think my daughter paid close to $1,200 for her 13PM (before the 14 released). With a older Pixel trade in and a $100.00 store credit I had been holding, I think I paid about $70.00 out of pocket for my Pixel 7.

Currently using a Pixel 7 as my primary device and occasionally switch to my iPhone 13 mini. I would have to say that lately I have been using Android a lot more due to esim (just extra steps and time to spontaneously switch back and forth). My daughters 13PM is the first phone that has given me "camera envy". However, I personally do not like the size of the "max" versions since I wear suits quite a bit (a smaller phone just sits better in dress pants pockets).

I feel like both OS's have evolved to a point where many of the features are starting to merge into one another. and they are both improving at about the same rate. I was just slightly disappointed that they did away with the mini version for the 14 lineup...but I guess I stand in the minority of wanting a smaller device these days. I would be all about a Pro Mini.

Have been hunting for a small phone, ended up with the 13 mini.
