quick maths

I just watched a Mac Address video on YouTube about this. Their conclusion was that the 14 Pro is best when pictures are taken in RAW, and based on what I've seen, I agree.

Nice average charger. Maybe even above average.

Should i upgrade to the 14 pro max?

So… I’ve had the iPhone 11 since launch. At some point it got water damaged but it only affected the charger (charging exclusively wireless for 2 years now) and the battery needs to be replaced. But I’ve also been thinking about getting the 14 pro max. Gimmicks aside, i realized I’d benefit from the 3x camera and been postponing my 11’s much needed visit to a repair shop. However, I’m not entirely sure if i should wait for the 15 and get an M1 Macbook Air for uni instead. Anyone gone from the 11 to the 14 pro max? Was the difference impressive?

Of the choices you listed (assuming she's OK with this), the 12 Pro is the only real choice. All SE phones have tiny displays, and the XS is pretty old. You may have to replace the XS in 2-3 years' time, while the 12 Pro will last longer.

However, since you have to buy a 12 Pro used/refurbished, you need to make sure that the battery is decent. If not, you'll have to pay for a replacement.

There shouldn’t be, do you have Windows 11?

The 14 Pro is objectively worse because it doesn't come with cameras. It uses AI sensors to draw what it thinks you saw, which is why the pictures are so bad. They aren't actual pictures, just AI garbage.

iPhone 13 Pro Case for MagSafe

I buy lifeproof fre cases, & I destroy phone case a lot, but it’s better then wrecking my phone.

iPhone 14 pro is among the worst smartphone for taking photos at the moment. For a detailed analysis see the MKBHD blindfold camera test.

In his other video you he also described why it’s so bad, basically comes down to software. You are actually better off taking a photo with iPhone X and below devices because that’s when Deep Fusion is turned off.

An ok fix for you at the moment is to basically take only raw photos. That way the photo you take will still look bad (the jpeg preview will have Deep Fusion baked in) but you can rescue the photos you really love by “developing it”. You can use most editors you like, but the two I use which is Lightroom and Darkroom. Both have an option to turn off Deep Fusion (in darkroom it’s called tone map and in Lightroom it’s called profile). Then you can re-export the jpeg without the junk (I.e Deep Fusion).

They don’t need to give a reason. You supplied in your previous, referenced posting.

Whose name is it in? If it’s in the name of someone else, it’s that person’s iPhone, not yours. You were only using that person’s iPhone.

Gotcha. Glad it worked out!

So other people could see what worked for me. The problem persisted for about an hour until I posted here. Luckily 15 min later I was able to update.

Good for you, that’s unusual. Why did you post asking for support just to say nope

Nope, just kept trying and it worked after about 15 minutes.

You need to do a full reset to factory settings and then try again. Corrupted files is all.

Happens to me all the time on PornHub…oh blue buttons, not blue balls. 😞

Do you happen to know when Bing was stopped from being utilized?

How do you mean by itself?

Is it like a oil painting?

Chill…save some for the rest of us at the discotheque!

I just paid $10 for a new commuter through their warranty program. My plastic cracked where the charger port is. Pretty solid warranty lol.

Camera quality: SE1 vs SE3 vs 13Mini

I have an iPhone SE1 and I want to upgrade, one of the reasons I want to do is the camera quality, I usually take pictures of slideshows at school on my SE1, but they’re barely readable, so I want to know... if I buy the SE3/13 mini, will the text from the slideshows be clearer and readable? I tried to compare them using Apple’s “Compare iPhone models” webpage, but I don’t know what the camera specifications mean in practice so I just came here to ask

Yes, ion-x is apple (and I guess the industries) best attempt at mimicking sapphire crystal. Its the best they can do to minimize the price on the watches but they’ll likely never replace it for camera lenses until they synthesize new glass tech.

at the end of the day, for even more peace of mind, you’d need something with a hardness scale of 9 to scratch sapphire crystal. So you’d basically need to be putting it camera down on sand paper (which includes materials like corundum—H9 hardness) to scratch it.

For even more reference/reassurance— sapphire crystal sits next to diamond on the hardness scale. Whereas even Ion-X glass sits a lot closer to quarts.

Basically the metal lining the camera and the back glass itself will scratch way before the lenses on the camera. Even putting your phone in a pocket or bag with keys will destroy the screen before you notice a nick on the camera lens

Hope that helps ease the mind. Also not to sub-nerd out on glass lmao, it’s kinda crazy how far we’ve come
