All phones are susceptible to heat since they don't have fans inside. 100 C/212 F is typically the maximum limit for safe internal temperatures, and your phone probably hit it.

Do you really want your premium brand phone burning up its battery and shortening its life? By that point, it had already stopped charging and slowed the processor down to try to lower its temperature, but that wasn't enough.

Disabling the camera on Lock Screen

How? Can’t you open the camera with the screen locked ?

There are no better alternatives to the Apple Watch if you are looking for smartwatch. If you want sports tracking watch, maybe garmin would be better because of battery life. AirPods Pro have really good sound and battery life with the case (I do have 1st gen though) and pair seamlessly with the iPhone so I would go with them. But this area have more interesting competitors than smartwatches.

No, it’s decent. But even the mini is a two handed device in some situations (due to how iOS works). And when typing with two hands it’s cramped (two is faster than one).

I also miss the larger versions for video consumption (YouTube etc).

How do you select a game to get you love scores on your Lock Screen? I’m not seeing it. This sounds awesome!

Had a galaxy s10 and switched to a 13 mini. Very happy with my purchase and switch to the blue bubble life. Fits nicely in any pockets

I do have wake with watch enabled and tap to wake disabled and never had an issue with the photo in my pocket.

Size- Well obviously this is the huge draw of the device and even that had drawbacks for me. Typing was more difficult for me, and then I realized I consumed a lot more media on my phone than I realized and that screen just wasn’t cutting it.

Battery- For my use the battery was pretty terrible and traveling with the thing sucked. I don’t really want to carry around a battery pack or go find an outlet somewhere so the Mini just had to go. I remember walking around Vegas trying to find a fucking outlet to use or somewhere to buy a battery pack.

If you don’t use your phone that much for media, work, or whatever, than I can suggest the phone for sure. The feeling in your hand/pocket is just fantastic, but if you consume a decent amount of content or care about battery life I’d suggest staying away

Went from X to 12 mini, loved the size. 12 mini battery sucked so tried the 13 pro the next year. It was too big and heavy my hand hurt. Returned after 3 days then got the 13 mini. This year got the 14 pro because the 13 mini battery still wasn't that great. First few days I thought I could go either way, keep the pro or keep the mini. The more days I kept the 14 pro the more I fell in love. Ultimately kept the 14 pro and yes sometimes still too big or heavy but all the added features I get with the 14 pro outweigh the only pro of the 13 mini (size/weight). My advice try them out and give it a full week or two then make your decision. Don't make the decision too quick.

• So not sure why it feels heavier

Are you using a case? If so is it the same kind you used on the 13PM?

thats true. It doesn't have to be in an airport, but the benefit of having choice remains

I dont think you should have any problems going for the iPhone 14, and you can always get information about all this at an Apple store! Plus, you can always use Wifi on apps, besides using your number!

2 eSims at once and a bunch more deactivated is literally a software feature and doesn't have anything to do with the presence of a physical slot?

Big reason I stuck with my 13 ProMax. Especially if you travel to the AsiaPac region or Africa.

Uh, they are the same weight.

Wish I followed you, I sprung for the 14pro for the camera and screen but don’t notice a difference in screen 😪 camera is pretty nuts tho but i rarely take pics that utilize the extra features

not for getting messages, just replying. you have to disable international day pass and set it to pay per use.

I went from 12pro max to 14pro

First day it felt weird, by day 2 I was 100% accustomed

It’s been about 10 days now and I went to pick up my 12pro max and legit couldn’t use it, felt like a tablet

Max to mini might be a drastic change, maybe look into the regular / medium sized ones

It may feel a bit heavy in the first couple of days, but you’ll get used to it. I upgraded of the iPhone 6; the 14 Pro Max is, needless to say, noticeably heavier and bigger. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and I must say I find the experience to be quite smooth and nothing too uncomfortable.

Ahhh found it. Thanks

My carrier charges me for roaming calls and SMS but only if I use them while roaming. When abroad I stick to iMessage/FaceTime Audio and I pay nothing for roaming charges.

It’s an app

Do you still charged by AT&T for using your phone for texts/calls?

lol yeah you’re right 😅
