I have, in a roundabout way (13 for a few months in between). I much prefer the form factor, screen and camera on the 14 Pro. Plus the dynamic island is really growing on me.
Great to hear. Does it feel much different in hand? 11 Pro is the perfect size for me and conscious this is a bit bigger. I'll probably pop into an Apple store this weekend to see for myself.

Yes it feels nice, if a little heavy especially at the top end. I started to dislike the rounded edges of the 11 Pro once work sent me the 13, I much preferred it as well as the screen.
 
Got my 14PM yesterday as an upgrade for my 8+. Physically not much bigger but everything works that much better and the screen is great. Should keep me going until the iPhone 20 :cry:
 
Wish mine would ship. ETA is 26/09 - 03/10. For 512gb PM in purple. Stuck in "processing", card not even been charged yet. Better get a move on if it's coming from China

Just a heads up that for each Focus Mode you have you can lower the brightness of the AOD by going into the options for each mode under settings.

Find it disappointing there’s not an option to turn off AOD for custom focuses or any focus other than Sleep. There’s no shortcut or automation either by the looks of it.
I’d like it off for films etc, ideally.
 
Has anyone with the Pro had issues with the main camera focussing? It seems specific to some apps which use the main camera. For example, with Starling I had to do an ID check on my new phone and I really struggled to get my driving licence to focus as I moved closer to it to fit it within the template.

16.0.2 should fix that check for updates.
 
Had every iPhone on release day and this is by far the most disappointed I’ve been with an upgrade. 14 Pro Max from a 13 Pro Max and I’m not that pleased.

- Battery life seems far worse
- FaceID has an annoying delay before scanning when using Apple Pay and other functions other than unlocking the phone.
- Camera focus speed is pretty **** poor compared to the 13. Scanning QR codes seems so much more awkward with this camera system

If I hadn’t given my 13 to my girlfriend, I’d be taking this back tbh

Really that bad ? :confused: battery usually takes a few days to settle following upgrades while it sorts data
 
I'm finding my battery to be marginally better than my 13 Pro Max. I suspect because my 13 Pro Max was a year old and the battery had degraded slightly, but overall there's not much in it. I can still comfortably get 2 and a bit days out of a single charge, just as I did on my 13 Pro Max.

Haven't had any issues with mine. Only negative really is that it's such a marginal upgrade, but that's no surprise and I knew that would be the case.
 
Battery around the same on my 14 pro vs 14. Are you leaving AOD on?

I find bit of delay playing videos and faceID etc.

CarPlay is annoying, really quiet conversations. But read it’s a known bug and being worked on next update/fixed in beta.
 
I tried to sign up for this last year but the swines rejected the application so I just bought outright.

Is this quite a common trend with apple/Barclays finance?

Just tried myself, never really have issues etc and got declined. Says they look at Experian etc of which mines apparently like 994/999 at the mo.

Will leave it but just seemed odd :(

Dunno, I've never tried before.

Tried to sign up to their 0% finance or the apple upgrade programme? I didn't think it was possible to sign up to the latter unless you go into a store.
