[@i6lakk]

Overall, I think it's more convenient to change your iPhone every two iPhones that comes after yours to see a worthy difference. When I got my iPhone 6S, I got the X after it and I was amazed, I was spouse to get the iPhone 12 Pro after two years but I got more busy with my MacBook for studying more than the iPhone so I kept the X. now I'm heading for the iPhone 14 Pro! Excited for the 120Hz screen and the camera performance.

[@erzsebettoth3495]

I still have my 6Splus😮and I still ok with it😊

[@jakethesnakelover]

Bro that sounds super exciting. I’ve been getting the newest one for 3 years in a row now just because I’m a total iphone nerd, so inevitably the excitement kinda dissolves over time. So your story was refreshing.

[@manumahesh696]

HAHA! Funny same hereee! My first was iPhone 6 then iPhone X & now I got iPhone 14 Pro Max & Braah! I feel the difference in every leap. This one is just madness at MAXXX! ;) Try it. You won't regret.!

[@mattbunky]

Definitely, I had the SE till the X and then I upgraded to the 14 pro max

[@liddibee]

I had the exact same progression. After getting my X I told myself I wasn’t upgrading until I saw a noticeable difference in the notch. Excited to have a phone with a new battery 😅

[@swensdawg]

At this point I don't think most people don't update to the new phone every year like they might 10 years ago with how much more expensive they are, so for me the 14 pro is a huge step up from the phone I bought 4 years ago.

[@johnny44937]

What about if u have an iphone 11 pro should i upgrade

[@eshbanvelez5212]

I disagree. I know plenty of people that barely use their Iphone but they always upgrade for the single reason that it's the new Iphone. I've seen plenty of them have to return it because they can no longer afford paying for it because their lifestyle doesn't allow a yearly Iphone upgrade but they have to have it anyway.

[@VeshSneaks]

I suppose it depends on what your arrangement with a carrier is. There’s certain plans here in Australia where you can upgrade every year for a (relatively) small fee, but you hand the previous phone back. But for most people I completely agree. Carriers have generally moved to a 36-month contract to reduce the sticker price on their phone/plan bundles (it’s standard here that you have a plan cost, and then you pay a monthly portion of the phones MSRP over a 12/24/36 month contract) and for most people there’s no reason to upgrade unless your contract is up for renewal. My dad is still happily rocking an S10, and my mum is gonna be using her S21FE for years to come. They don’t care about the majority of features that get added, and just take whatever the newest one is when they renew. Or in my mum’s case she liked the lavender colour of the 21FE and wanted to stick with Samsung.

[@xShinobiXx]

Actually most people update yearly now. Because phones are easily financed now. And iPhones trade in at high value at one year. So all you have to do is trade it in. And get the new phone. Easy Your phone just hovers around 70-80$ depending where you are which most people pay that much per month

[@WolfieSilveira]

yeah i agree. I remember when it was the norm to change the iphone every year, but now a days its more a norm to do it every other or even less. Unless it’s practically your job to have the newest one.

[@black.bird.]

LED notification indicator by far is the best useful luxury feeling ever created. Hands down you know you have missed call low charge etc by passing (ex. busy at work, home) by the phone from distance. It's saved me a lot because it gets my attention to charge my phone before I hang out with friends and many other situation..

[@ericcissoko1280]

Thank you for this!! Great review

[@shrimpgordita]

You guys need to create a board for all of your predictions so you can see who was right. The Fantasy Focus podcast does that. Every time there's a prediction/disagreement, they say "Put it on the Board!" and then they revisit it afterwards.

[@devweiss6422]

That’s a fire idea

[@kgal1298]

I also like the way the dynamic island works. It's not necessary, but it definitely feels useful now. Also, the choice on how to change the notifications so they don't all pop up and you can just have them listed as a number is so nice to avoid distractions during work hours.

[@Radictor44]

The dynamic island on a macbook can happen with software alone. The hardware limitation is already there, just need to utilise the surrounding pixels, and then you have a new notification center.

[@Stevepledge]

Thanks for the video 📸

[@AayushPriyam]

The best always on display or ambient display I'd say is that of Motorola, not always on all the time, but when you glance, shake or wave over it, or when a notification arrives. Also function/utility wise it's the best.

[@gandroidnexus]

Hey Marques, love your videos man. Rumours say right now that all iPhones next year will get dynamic island but only the pro phones will have the promotion display. That’s how they’ll continue to differentiate them.

[@minari548]

thats acceptable only if the non pros have 90hz screen

[@natbarmore]

I love that the waveform of playing music grabs the color scheme of the album art. Now, if we could just get the entire Music app UI to grab the color of album art, so I don’t constantly have a screen full of angry red shouting at me whenever I play music. I _really_ miss when it and iTunes used a blue color scheme.

[@tedwardrick]

The iPhone XR had a notch but the screen was still LCD instead of OLED. So besides the ‘notch’ there’s always a difference between the display technology. So maybe the non-pro will never get pro-motion even though they have the dynamic island. Or maybe it’ll only get bumped up to 90hz, or maybe less bright, or maybe the display bezel sizes are different.

[@5Melons]

[@UUche]

Hey there, I think the iPhone 14 Pro Max looks good and all but…..the dynamic island actually sits further into the screen than the notch. All the fancy labelling does not change the fact that there is still an extended hole punch in the screen of a premium device in 2022. Relabelling it doesn’t change the fact that it is there at all in this day and age. More screen innovation is required screen wise at the very least. Right now the bean counters rule the roost in my opinion, and they are simply innovating in teaspoons fulls rather than in ladles fulls like in Steve Jobs day. I’m sticking with 13 Pro Max at this stage.

It's not exactly one to one but you can turn off the Samsung S22/1/0 series always on display and have a small glow around the edge of the phone to be seen even when upside down or couple of dots flash around the camera cutout while the screen is completely off and it does have an auto color feature for each icons colors. It under notifications and the brief pop up settings once that's set just turn off always on display and you'll have pretty much what you're talking about.

[@h4x0y]

Wonderful episode. Disagree with 2 things: 1. The reason Apple won't go under-display camera isn't because it's more expensive (Apple will be happy to sell you something more expensive). It's because current tech produces crappy photos, while they know damn well the iPhone's front camera is the world's most popular camera. 2. They won't withhold the Dynamic Island for too long on the regular models. Reason: it's a software feature that profits from 3rd party developer support, so more adoption will add value to the feature.

[@TheJaycal77]

World'? Definetly the USA but not the world's.

[@h4x0y]

@@TheJaycal77 Overall, no other camera model (phone or dedicated) comes close to the usage statistics of the iPhone. Sites that publish usage statistics (such as Flickr) reflect this. I suspect (but am not sure) that the iPhone's front facing camera might even be more popular than the back camera given its excessive use in social apps.

@@h4x0y usage and better are two different things. Given the amount of gen z in the USA and their obsession with Snapchat and tik tok, it definitely aligns with the data.

[@h4x0y]

@@TheJaycal77 I never said anything about better. It is a pretty decent front camera compared to most other devices, but can't hold a candle to the back camera. But since indeed it's being used by so many TikTok (and equivalent socials) users, it's important for Apple not to make it far worse by moving to a current-gen under display selfie camera. These just aren't up to par with Apple's quality standards.

[@can7ge7righ7]

I think they should let the “i-shaped” pill cutout be visible when you use reachability.

I get mine tomorrow I’m excited to watch it evolve :)

The cutout has eye catching animations, but it still takes up more screen real estate. When playing ultrawide videos, the 14 pro has the cutout intruding where the older phones don’t.

[@marcusharrington4017]

I’ve got the 14 pro Max, the pill was cool for 5 minutes, but now I just find it annoying. 90% of the time the pill is bigger than it needs to be due to software, like extending the pill on both sides with a lock icon in to tell me the phone is locked. By due to software, I don’t mean filling in the gap, but getting wider either side.

[@ecnortonjr]

From 9to5Mac: Apple released a support document highlighting the Always-On display usage, though we already covered how most of it works here. Now, we’re going to detail when this feature turns off immediately. Apple said the Always-On display goes dark when you don’t need it. To save battery life, the display is completely dark on these eight different occasions: Your iPhone 14 Pro is face down; Your iPhone is in your pocket; Sleep Focus is on; Low Power Mode is on; Your iPhone is connected to CarPlay; You’re using Continuity Camera; You haven’t used your iPhone for a while; Your iPhone detects that you moved away from it when you wear a paired Apple Watch.

[@mrdannie]

Heres a idea, have a separate wallpaper for always on displays so you could have a completely black idle display, then have a colorful lock screen. Plus the creativity you can have with this is almost unlimited.

[@KickinitWithKarla]

You can set a different wallpaper for always on separate from the one you use on your Lock Screen. So if u set the always on wallpaper to black and the Lock Screen wallpaper to a photo it looks really great.

The pop up camera on the OP7Pro, and flip camera on the Asus phones were ways that android phones got rid of the hole punch without compromising on using a bad under display camera.

Dynamic island will come to the regular iPhone next year. It’s not a “pro” feature, rather its on the pro first so third party apps have a year of development and the feature can become more fleshed out before brought to the masses.

I was feeling the same way about the always on display. It’s nice that you get that wallpaper during the day, but at night it can be a bit overwhelming. So I just created a new Lock Screen that has a solid black background and an off white dimmed down time display. Take two seconds to switch and really looks better. Yeah other phones don’t need all the extra work to get what you want, but like I said, it takes 2 seconds to change.

[@isaacsonntag]

Apparently there is a focus mode hack that turns the wallpaper black and let's you keep the clock and notifications still. I can't remember where I saw it but it can be done.

I think ios 16 is draining battery faster after the upgrade from ios 15.x

[@yuliadamen5808]

I’ve upgraded last year from the iphone x to a iphone 11 pro, but now i am doubting to get the new iphone 14 pro. Because i like the squared design and i would love to use the dynamic island. But is it worthy or should i just wait till next year?

[@RahulSaini]

Whats that widget in extreme left on his lockscreen? The one with the dots?

[@jpaiteimanche]

its from an app called TickTick

[@madmotorcyclist]

The settings allow you to turn off "always on display". Also, due to the A16 using 4nm production process it is more power efficient than the A15. You should go into the settings and optimize the power usage. In addition the pill can be modified to display various things by outside coders. There is one such thing as a a little pet icon that wanders over the top of the pill. Software will catch up to address all your little things you brought up.

[@JosephsJUKEBOX]

You can turn off Always On Display and manually control down the brightness if it is to distracting and to save on battery life. However I do agree, it's a solid battery but expected more as I am getting a day and about 6 hours the next day. But I do have AOD on. I also wish there was an option to turn off dynamic island in preferences just to get some screen estate back but I do like the feature however there is still massive room for it to grow particularly when 3rd parties to get in on the action. My issue is I keep having to restart the phone as I am getting obscene of system data build up 300gb+ (not sure where it is coming from) almost taking up all 512gb and I have only come from a 256gb iPhone XS which carried over 175gb. keeping an eye on this.

What if the normal iPhone doesn’t get pro motion(120Hz) but get a bump up to 90Hz. I have heard that the bump from 60 to 90 Hz is more significant than from 90 to 120 Hz. I have not used any higher refresh rate displays so i may be far from truth.

[@bigbirdsmurderer4168]

The easy solution to the “pro-motion” on a base model debate, is to just make a 90hz display. 90 still feels smooth, and that would still give the Pro model an advantage.

[@hm-so5xt]

Nah, giving the brokies too much

[@bigbirdsmurderer4168]

@@hm-so5xt the base model iPhone is still decently pricey, the brokies buy the SE, which I can understand having 60hz still lol

[@davidgilmore1015]

I wonder if dynamic island will become popular with consumers (and thus integrated with developers) and then when apple decides to go notchless will face the customer who picks the cheaper version that still has the dynamic island over the newest phone because they prefer the experience. At the moment the notch isn't integrated into the experience so we wouldn't really see that

[@dupont24x]

It's just placed inconveniently. Reaching the status bar is a pain in the ass on phones these days due to size, so this is just as difficult, considering you can interact with it.

Does the battery blow you away? Thinking of moving from a 12

[@cheedarcheese5811]

so excited to to upgrade from ipx to the 14 pro 🥺

[@onpoint1111]

Pre-ordered a 14 Pro, since my 13 Pro [maybe] will be going to a family member... I love the 6.1" form factor but I lost 11% battery overnight due to always on display... and with AOD turned off overnight I still lost 3-4% (13 Pro was 1% at most) and I'm down 25% throughout the day over the 13 Pro... I turned off AOD because I don't really like it, and now I'm only down 15-20% over the 13 Pro during the day... The 14 Pro is power hungry, probably the A16... Love iOS 16 battery percentage display but I turned that off as well... it got depressing lol. Now I'm faced with keeping my 13 Pro or returning the 14 Pro and getting a 14 Pro Max, but I really don't like the added real estate in my pocket. Advice? As always, you guys rock =]

[@edster8416]

Id say wait it out couple more months as more updates gets pushed. Just like anything new that’s always new problems and Apple need to solve it. That’s why I always refrain getting the earliest first batches of iPhone. Hopefully better updates coming soon and hopefully the battery will optimise well down the road after a certain usage in due time. Same problem with Samsung and pixel battery I’d assume. Takes time for the battery to adapt how u use it daily.

[@mubzi07]

Did ur battery problm fixed bcz i recently bought 14 pro upgraded from xs and i dont feel better bcz battery is not great when opening camera i camt see where the battery goes🥲

[@adamelmino8359]

I'm hoping they go up to 240Hz on the Pro models (great for gaming) and give the standard iPhones 120Hz (in the future) along with USB-C or new and improved lightning (for the standard model).

[@_Ace._]

There would be 0 content for it. And the standard 14 still only has a 60hz 😅 maybe in 10 years

Even though I am NOT an Apple person, I think I will finally upgrade my OnePlus 7T that I've had for the past 3 years to this. I still think *hardware* wise, OnePlus beats it hands-down, but the thing's it lacks, mostly support, is what is drawing me back toward Apple (I had an iPhone 7 for 2 years before this phone). It would be nice to be able to use AirDrop, receive high-res images from friends who have iOS, and use facetime. I have had many instances where people's imessage will work, but sms text will not.

I actually went from oneplus to apple back in 2018. I LOVED one plus and should i go with android again, id pick one plus again in a heart beat. but i was always dissatisfied with android itself. how clunky it felt and also how the models like oneplus or sony often were back on the update line, so often i had to wait for weeks sometimes months to get a new android update. So yeah love the hardware of one plus, dont like the software. However now that i do have an iphone and a ipad, i dont really want to go back at all. So yeah it is a big jump and you may feel like apple is behind on some things. but what you will get is reliability and phones that is made for perfection, rather the quick trend.

[@callumhallworth3218]

There are some great apps that allow you to add a little notification led-like spot to an always on display, on android of course.

[@manart6506]

3:40 the wallpaper being always there sounds great… and good idea about using a black or darker wallpaper for Sleeping mode.

[@macyoung6634]

I agree with the dude in the middle. I don’t use AOD even on my Pixel. If it takes up even little or a lot of battery, I don’t want it. I I would definitely prefer a color coded LED. AOD only makes sense on a smart watch where I’m actually going to glance at. If I glance at my phone, I’ll most likely unlock it.

[@vedanshchn]

I'm not sure if getting iOS 16 is most of the experience as at least my iPhone 12 lags quite sometimes when interacting with that new lock screens and a lot of the animations there feel janky now. Hope they'd be able to fix it.

[@vedanshchn]

@Usman Ahmad We don’t buy phones to “kindly” turn off all the features we paid for 🤡🤡🤡

[@vedanshchn]

@Usman Ahmad I have the 14 Pro and I use AOD without any isue :)

[@vedanshchn]

@Usman Ahmad I sold f 12. I keep background refresh off too. I always turn off the Forbes feature in privacy settings which uses phone’s sensors to count steps which is on by default.

i think dynamic island should include custom notification flashes in the AOD. that's definitely a great idea!

Couldn’t agree more with the Note notification LED, that was my favorite notification. Always on displays are meh

[@leomarkf]

iOS was designed for reachability since from the start thru their UI of always having menus at the bottom. It was more accentuated in recent versions of the OS by having large title texts at the top and now with iOS 16, which moved its elements on the lockscreen at the bottom. Dynamic island implementation is brilliant but I think it contradicts that UI design by having controls available at top. It’s useful though.

[@iitzYaBoii]

Except Control Centre being in the top right since FaceID was introduced

[@Roxlecmc]

@@iitzYaBoii we have back tap, so we can use that to get to the Notification Center and Control Center. But back tap is kinda stupid so we gotta deal with it

[@droidmotorola3884]

When they were talking about the notification lights or ring. I was just looking at my samsung note with a smile cause you can set a color ring around the screen to pop when you get a notification. And you can put it so it lights up in the color of the app you got the notification from.
