Poll: *** The official iPhone 14 thread (it can talk to satellites, has AOD and everything!) ***

[GMac11]

MKBHD said YouTube Music and WhatsApp work straight out the box with it

I'm hoping you can control the brightness of the AoD, I have my droid set low so it doesn't illuminate the bedroom...

Ah that’s good to know! Haven’t had a chance to catch any of the YouTube reviews yet - some bedtime viewing.

Really tempted by the phone, it'd be my first iPhone but the damn Lightning port is seriously putting me off. I intend to shoot ProRes 4K video and the thought of it taking nearly 2 minutes to get 1 minute of footage off the phone is killing it for me. Are there faster ways?

Yes, airdrop.

 

[Sirrel Squirrel]

How fast is that? Can you go direct to a MacBook or is it over WiFi?

edit/ ignore me, just Googled it and it is direct.

Poor show

The whole AOD implementation is a farce. Apple being Apple.

After watching the whole dymanic island demos, it's no way worth the permanent mono brow always on screen.

You say that like you’ve extensively used it first hand.

Looks like there’s a day one 16.0.1 iOS release for iPhone 14s, and the 16.1 developer beta is out with Live Activities API and slightly more intuitive lock screen/Home Screen editing

Just had my notification from DPD app that EE shipped my 14 Pro Max for delivery tomorrow. DPD collected it at 5:02 this morning.

The EE order tracker still says awaiting delivery date for all it's worth lol

 

[Robbo]

Received my dispatch notification from DPD just after midnight. (Sky Mobile order)

 

[ChrisD.]

Preparing to ship, ordered with Apple.

My EE order still says unable to show details, however I have started to get texts about my account/upgrade from EE this morning. So fingers crossed it's still going through the system and I should get the DPD notification soon.

Excited for tomorrow! Can't wait to restore from backup and within 10 minutes feel like the exact same phone

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Moving from a 13 Pro Max to a 14 Pro Max, the novelty will wear off very quickly. Although I'm using an iPhone 7 with an absolutely destroyed battery temporarily so I'll be glad to get back to something usable again.

This thing was on 100% when I took it off charge at 8am. I haven't even done anything with it, less than 5 mins of screen on time and 3 and a half hours of standby time since and it's down to 82%. Crazy.

I know the feeling, I’m on an aged 6s and I can see the battery tick down each minute when I’m using it! Currently on 34% after coming off charge at 7.30am.

Wonder what time today we'll get a dispatch notification from apple (for us who ordered direct from apple)

 

[squerble]

I'm hoping my case comes today, after our postman delivered to a wrong address on Tuesday (proof of delivery picture wasn't out front door but our address on the label), and the scumbag who took the parcel never bothered to bring it around! Currently showing as arriving today so hoping they get my house today.


EDIT: Just got dispatch notification for the phone
