I was debating whether to get 13 or 14 for a while. im so glad I went woth 13 because that pill thing is so gimmicky and intrusive and distracting and personally I don't like it after seeing it, it's cool for like an hour and then you wish it wasn't there. 13 is as simple as it gets

I got the 14 about a month ago and I saw so much eye rolling and mocking of the dynamic island that I had no hopes for it.

I’ll tell you this. I love it.

Is it some revolution in design? No. But I find it very useful.

It’s nice to have an active app, like music one click away via the island rather than swiping up and between apps. I love how if maps is minimized I still see directions in the island. It’s little stuff but all very user friendly and helpful imo

I have a 14PM and I like it. My favourite uses is Spotify where it displays small album cover and I also like the animation when a timer is set. It doesn’t seem to get in the way and more apps will utilise or do utilise it I’m sure.

Reply to comment by bertpel in 48MP ProRaw is broken by altxg

I used to use Halide for a while, and have tried Lightroom’s camera as well. Both are excellent for taking RAW photos. Unfortunately it seems like neither are capable of taking RAW 48MP photos, they’re both limited to 12MP. Maybe it’s an API thing that Apple skipped

Was using a Caudabe Synthesis on my 14 PM but just got my Phone Rebel Crystal Flex 14 in today and I love it! I'll be switching between the two depending on what i'm doing.

You see, the problem is that I cannot get any service and I am not familiar with the area and I cannot get any calls or texts or anything really when I'm not home on wifi. This is a major inconvenience. Can't even use gps which is extremely bad.

Thinking about just getting the 14, only a $100 difference smh. Also, I can repair the camera lens to be able to trade it in to reduce the price in half. Is it worth it to?

I've had my iPhone 8 Plus since the end of 2018 and and has been holding up, but it's now showing its age with a 74% battery capacity, it gets random freezes from time to time... but it's still pretty much usable.

I've been looking at upgrading to something like the iPhone 13 (new) for the past few months, but with even trading my 8 Plus it would be more than 800€ for a base model. Now, a close friend of mine needs the money and is seelling his iPhone 11 Pro 256GB for 500€ which I think is fair. The battery was replaced a year ago or so and it's currently at 94%, the phone itself is like new.

I'm not really a heavy user anymore and I try to use my phone as less as possible. Not even using social media lately, I'm currently in a digital detox kind of.

Do you guys think it's worth it for me to upgrade to the 11 Pro or should I just aim for the 13 for example, to future proof?

It depends. I usually don‘t use it because often my screen looks to yellow when turned on. But on some occasions especially when I‘m in a car or train my display looks too cool, sometimes slightly purple and then I turn true tone on and everything looks perfect.

I was going to buy 13 mini soon. It does not have macro, but I don’t want to spend so much money for pro model only because of this feature. After reading this I consider to buy xs, but not max - it is too big for me. Would it take close up photos like xs max?
