It’s a hardware based feature so that’s why it’s not available. If you want it you’d need the 14 Pro or Max.

The battery, looks like it’s time it needs to be replaced.

What the heck you even talking about? Screen protector?

Take a look at this pic and tell me with a straight face it looks identical to what OP has. The picture OP is showing has the metal grill piece with the holes clearly missing. I had a 13 Pro and it’s obvious OP is missing that part of the speaker assembly. Multiple people blindly stating something doesn’t make them right, but that’s the Reddit hive mind there.

I only make posts or replies to inform I don’t waste my time like some people who do so to troll.

Unfortunately you couldn’t be more wrong. But this is Reddit of course and most people don’t know what they are talking about especially in this thread. I’ve repaired many phones over the years and I wouldn’t make a statement unless I knew what I was talking about.

The grill is literally not even there. You can see a gap and indentation where it should be.

What’s more hilarious is people forget the part in question was damaged since it was never meant to be removed from the phone. We are also not looking at it from the front but the back which is why it may appear different in addition to the damage.

Yet I’m not wrong and ignorant users who think they know better are the ones who are wrong. Obviously the metal piece is missing and OP is clearly showing what’s left of it.

OP is showing the rear part of the earpiece cover which is why it looks like that. I repair iPhones as a side hustle I know what I’m talking about. Regardless a part is missing from the earpiece and damage can impact how it appears.

It is indeed part of the phone. The earpiece mesh should not be visible like that. That grill piece that somehow fell off is part of the earpiece and acts as protection for it.

Clearly people don’t know anything if they are downvoting me lol. That piece is normally well adhered to the earpiece and doesn’t come off like that.

There is no lack of detail unless of course you zoom in like crazy, like with any photo. I’ve never had much of an issue with noise reduction being to strong and I’m well versed in the camera world as it’s part of my job. I have heard of those with issues but for the majority of people it’s not a problem. I get a new iPhone every year and throughly use the cameras so I am very attuned to any improvements or issues that may be present.

Sounds like your phone may have an issue if you have a lack of detail in general with your photos.

I’m not wrong, your just very much misinformed here. ProRaw is simply not meant for point and shoot scenarios using default camera settings produce more than go enough shots in most cases and that’s that.

Most like iPhone photos just fine. It’s actually the standard photos that have baked in processing that some may or may not like and photographic styles can tweak that. ProRaw has minimal processing and in turn captures as much detail from the sensors as it can and the full 48MP photo if one so chooses.

I’ve used both depending on the situation and you can’t really compare the two. ProRaw is meant to be edited and capture as much detail the sensor can handle. While when using the standard format day to day it captures more than enough detail and quality images without much fuss and ProRaw I reserve for specific shots. For most people they shouldn’t need to use ProRaw with how good the standard mode can be.

I very much know what to look for and the vast majority of people don’t have an issue. Those that do haven’t set their preferences with photographic styles or may actually have defective hardware. I’m constantly impressed with some of the results I get and so are many reviewers big and small. People with issues tend to be the loudest.

Never had any issues with processing and I’ve used nearly every iPhone and tend to critique image quality. If your having issues you first have to play with photographic styles. If all else fails claim a defective phone under warranty. I’ve been more than impressed with the 14 Pro Max.

For many people it’s the ecosystem and reliability apple offers for many people android just isn’t an option and iPhone 14 is seen as the default choice. You also don’t get the same level of CPU performance and long term support that apple offers.

Go for the 12.

X uses the same chip as the 8 so iOS 16 may be the last. But I wouldn’t be too surprised if the 8 and X still got iOS 17 but it seems unlikely. XR should get iOS 17 without a doubt.

Stop deflecting how you are acting on me get yourself some help and figure out your phone issues.

Yeah if it’s that significant OP’s got an issue with his phone. So many people get through a full day on the Max no problem even two days with 120hz on. Now if OP was talking about the smaller Pro things would make more sense.

Ok thanks for proving your an idiot who doesn’t want to admit there’s obviously something wrong with your phone. You’ve been embarrassing yourself this whole time lol!

It DOES lock to 60hz apple states this themselves. Maybe get off your self inflated high horse and come to the realization your phone HAS a problem. You should get through an entire day of heavy use and easily 2 days if your not using it as much. The 14 Pro Max only goes down to 1hz when the AOD is used.

Testers have literally done this and the difference is negligible. If anything some tasks when the phone is locked to 60hz will use more battery since the phone with ProMotion 120hz off can go below 60hz. It very much sounds like an actual problem with your phone if you’re seeing significant drain with the feature on, get it checked by apple.
