Reply to Best Screen Protector for 14PM by nathanaelaldred2

Personally I swear by MANTO tempered glass protectors with black borders. Cheap on Amazon, anti-fingerprint, has an easy install kit. They work and hold up well, you also get a couple in the pack. I’ve used this brand since iPhone XS and only ever used be up installing one, it lasts me until I upgrade.

Even on the 14Pro/PM it sucks when you are not using the default camera app (e.g you are using another app to scan a QR code). The other app may not default to the ultrawide lens, and thus the QR code is impossible to get into focus.

Not in this case. Of the camera can’t focus this close no amount of tapping will solve that, and it’s been known that the iPhone 14 series don’t focus as close as the 13 and previous phones.

It’s not rocket science alright, it’s optical science.

Reply to avoiding iphone 14pm back scratches from case by [deleted]

Each time I get a new phone, I simply take the paper screen protector thing from the brand new iphone and trim out the section for the camera bump and stick that on the back of the phone. The back of my phone is pristine whenever I've removed it from the case despite the dust that gets in there. It costs nothing but a little time.

Reply to Why a lot of iphone13 on marketplace? by curly_crazy_curious

I see that too in my area, as one commenter said, private sales/trades usually are more profitable for getting the newest phone.

Now in the sense of the iOS updates, I don't see any difference with my battery life or battery health, mind you I'm new to iPhone (since black Friday weekend 2022) and I have the 13, so I basically went through iOS 16.1.2, 16.2 and now on 16.3, so I haven't seen many issues, I think what people don't realize is that with whatever improvements to the iOS that are done, it will take a toll on the battery for the first day or so for the phone to recalibrate

With you on that. I do like how with notes you can a several page pile of documents and scan them automatically pretty much. Just gotta flip the pages and then you can do an easy PDF export.

With simply wise when you scan the receipt it will determine the merchant and place it into a column, the date, total, taxes. And all of the various line items and put them in individual columns for an excel/numbers, spreadsheet, export. It's a great tool I use for the tax man.

I seriously don’t understand macro mode on iPhones. I get it that it came with 13s so the 12 lineup doesn’t have it. It is only (currently) on iPhone 13 and 14 pro/max and those phones are using ultra-wide lenses to go into the macro mode. As I said it is only on pro/max and it uses ultra-wide lenses. Literally every iPhone 13 and 14 has ultra-wide lenses. Why is it only on pro models? Is it because of the LiDAR Scanner? Or is it just another apple crap
