FaceID is terrible, especially on the 14 Pro Maxbut at least unlock with Apple Watch usually works. Most of the phone is fine, but the second you try doing something that is outside of the lines Apple draws, you’re usually fucked.

Try making a shared album then changing the dates it shares from. You can’t. You need to delete it and start all over.

It still happens with Live Photo off. If I take a selfie and immediately click on the photo, I can see this weird smoothing effect and minor lighting changes as they’re applied to the picture. I’ve even screen recorded to make sure I’m not just seeing things.

I use Live Photo to change the frame because when I do that, that effect isn’t applied to other frames.

I just flew into Greece, bought an eSIM online, and had it running in under 2 minutes. With a couple taps, and didn’t have to remove my old eSIM (just disabled).

With the 13/14 I think you can have 2 simultaneous eSIMs so I’m not sure the problem with this—particularly since every country is being forced into eSIM options because of it

The labor consists of pulling off the old pieces and gluing on the new part.

This guy did it on YouTube and Samsung estimates 88€ for a back glass repair on my S21 Ultra, which is much more in line with what I would expect (the device is also built differently, but it doesn't make up for the $360~ difference lol).

$449 for a back glass replacement on a 13 Pro is ridiculous.

I went from s21 to 14 pro, here are some issues i’ve experienced: 1)many animations on iOS aren’t configured for 120hz and run at about 90hz, which makes smoothness worse compared to android’s 120hz. 2)I prefer Samsungs/androids implementation of notification+control center 3) can’t map flashlight to double/triple clicking power button(I know many people love to bind camera to it as well). 4) no longpress number row in default keyboard

Wonder if these things are also part of your experience, don’t view me as a hater tho, there are reasons why I switched and they satisfy me, but I would give a lot to get features that I mentioned, especially given how easy they are to implement from the coding standpoint

While in the present, SIM is definitely easier for travel, when I traveled internationally recently, it was pretty easy to just purchase an eSIM from places like Airalo. eSIM is definitely not at abundance that SIM is (much like going from micro USB to USB c or any similar transition), I think it’ll get there. iPhone 14 series eSIM convenience is an early adopter burden type of thing imo, sort of like when headphone jack was gone. But it’ll get better.
