The one that’s currently in. It doesn’t revert to some old firmware or install some unreleased new firmware. It just restores settings to factory ones and deletes all the data.

No it's not, I literally just linked a video showing it.

Samsung glues the displays to the midframe in a very similar way, but on their phones you usually replace the screen together with the whole midframe. That essentially means transplanting all the old parts into the new body.

And even then you can buy a Samsung screen and battery kit for $168 and Samsung "screen module replacement" pricing is $199 for a base S21.

Yes, I agree.

I made the same upgrade last week. I very much prefer the smaller size. My hand was starting to hurt from holding the 12 pro max. The one thing that I think was a downgrade is the battery life. I’m not sure if that’s an iOS 16 problem or just the change from dropping sizes and losing the bigger battery of the pro max.

My mistake. I realise now that they’re both 240 grams. The 14 Plus is good then if the Pro features aren’t a must.

Thanks! I’ll give it a shot!

Cloud storage adds an unnecessary step. Why would I willing stop using a method that for all intensive purposes is faster to waste time uploading? That’s like saying stop charging with a cable because we have wireless charging. Its inefficient

the 14 pro is much heavier than my old XS. I'm glad I didn't go with the max, my fingers hurt and have tried at least 10 different cases.

Thanks! I’ll give it another shot was using the download from apple

To replace the back glass almost the whole phone needs to be assembled again after taking apart if m not wrong. That’s really lot of work and the glass itself is of a much better quality than other brands. Also, the service ensures waterproof once again. You can have it replaced locally outside apple but then the risk stays

Try starting with the Books app, by downloading any of the learning materials that interest you. A commumity like this one this can and obviously will gladly help along the way, but shouting random tips may not the the most optimal action if you're also new to smartphones, in general.

Back glass is about 100 dollars more.

Yeah. I’ve been eSim for years now and upgrade every year. When I swap over it asks if I want my eSim to cross over and it’s there. Super easy.

I’ve also got a small collection of eSims for countries I visit regularly and I just switch them on and off at will. I usually keep my Uk number live for incoming business calls and the local sim for data.

However. None of my foreign eSims reactivated on my 14. One has disappeared entirely and three are there, but marked ‘no SIM’.

But can it intelligently replace all the “.”s in my search results to “ “ white spaces accurately?

Anyone.know.what.I.mean.I.cant.be.the.only.one.please.😂.

did the opposite, had an 11 pro and went to 14 pro, felt nice but not that much of an upgrade so i exchanged it for a pro max and I'm never going back. prefer it a lot more and its not as bulky as i imagiend

Should have disable/off function

I have a s22 ultra, my wife's 13 PM is definitely smoother imo

Got an eSIM today from only 1 operator which supports it out of 5 in our country. It's more expensive than a physical SIM, almost twice!. I can only use the QR code bundled with the eSIM package for installation twice when changing or resetting iPhone. Have to get a new one after that at an additional cost!
Cons outweigh the pros IMO🤔

Downvoted??? 😂

MKBHD said the same thing in his review. It’s not intuitive. I agree.

well i did switch too and im happy about it.

back button - you just need it if you have an idea of it, got over that in a few days

settings - are much better organized that any android phone i’ve ever used

charging - have no idea what do you mean by “charging sooo slow”, wireless and wired charging work just as well, please be precise what wattages you’re refering/comparing to

please do a research before buying a new product if it actually fits your needs, like installing custom 3rd party software refered as APKs etc.

If we can say that android has it’s ways, so do iphone.

I think what concerns me with this is that at the least, with a sim, you’re garuanteed flexibility to swap. Let’s say you have a backup device (which cannot connect to internet) and you’re on a hike or far trip for the day - your phone happens to break. How are you able to switch to the backup device that has no sim available now to place into the device (since ESIM) or wifi available / and since it’s not connected to data you’re unable to activate it?

I know that’s an off case scenario but I’m not anti ESIM - I think learning more about the technology and convenience is really progressive and adaptive. But I do think there’s benefit to having a physical SIM - there’s just more you can do with it. I like the stability in knowing the physical chip controls the phone service rather than relying just on being locked down to the device managing the electronic sim - in event of an emergency, accident etc.
