    The iPhone 14 Pro is a joke.

      Agreed. I compared an Iphone 13 pro and 14 pro at an Apple store today. I really don’t see a reason to upgrade. I am currently using 12 pro It’s still a go to phone for me and I I’ve always liked that blocky design similar to the Iphone 4 or 5.

      @Krispy Dream  it’s just a dressed up iPhone 12 is all it is. It’s nothing innovative and has alot of dated features.

    Thank you. My 14 Pro Max has been the buggiest iPhone I’ve ever had. So far today, I have had to turn it off three times because it freezes. As a matter of fact it freezes all the time. I’m seriously considering getting the Pixel 7 Pro or the S23 Ultra. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    • MJ Carpenter

      April 26, 2023 at 9:42 am

      Has Apple lost their edge? Serious question as these reviews seem very troubling.

    • Marzapane

      April 26, 2023 at 9:56 am

      @andyH_England Same, I have had it for 5+ months, no freezing, no nothing, works like a charm.

      April 26, 2023 at 10:11 am

      Mine works fine as well; I also have the S23U, you’ll run into bugs there, more than your 14PM. Also if you’re use to the 14PM battery, the Pixel 7 Pro won’t match with your use for battery efficiency

    • Maria Elena Cabrera

      April 26, 2023 at 10:19 am

      @MJ Carpenter I just have problems with the 14 Pro Max. The other iPhones were fine.

    They really need to work on Dynamic Island potentials to make it more interesting so it won’t die like touch bar.

    The thing that I hate about the iPhone is that Apple is constantly adding new features while letting bugs that came before stay put. Especially the blurry artwork thumbnails in the Music app. That’s been a bug since the early days of iOS 16.

    • MNHS

      April 26, 2023 at 2:10 pm

      iOS 16 has more known bugs than new features

    I loved my iPhone 14 pro max but there was a down side my camera lens was messing up it wouldn’t focus so I got it replaced and it was fine after

    • Tyler

      April 26, 2023 at 3:43 pm

      Really? I’m constantly taping for auto focus. It’s annoying af

    The Dynamic Island is a glorified gimmick. A similar interface could have been built around the notch if they put in the effort. The marketing team is at the healms and it shows.

  11. Edrian Egan Perdido

    April 26, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    The post processing on the camera really brought down the iphone 14/pro max. From selfie camera to front camera is kind meh. Comparing a 2year old Samsung S21 ultra.

  12. amil shaikh 786

    14 pro max really magical iPhone 👍🏻

    April 26, 2023 at 12:44 pm

    I like my iPhone 14 Pro. This was my first smart phone. Finally at age 79 I made the jump. It took several Apple store schooling sessions and many hours of stumbling through but I would never go back to my previous Samsung Gusto phone. I just wish that I could get my Windows PC with iTunes to connect better with the iPhone IOS software.

  15. Haider Ameer

    April 26, 2023 at 1:02 pm

    It amazes me how all these new phones by Apple from 11-14 have not brought any real innovation but yet people still upgrade and they make billions. It’s like a cult.

    • Jared Oseghale

      April 26, 2023 at 5:59 pm

      Which phone released on the last 4 years has brought a huge innovation?
      And don’t say the Samsung zoom stuff cos it has been proven to be BS and no one uses it

    • kia motors

      April 26, 2023 at 7:40 pm

      Why you acting if other phones brands don’t do the same thing😂

    • Graham Evans

      April 27, 2023 at 9:10 am

      @Kwame Sarpong yep i did. At least they don’t give us the same design… or samsung was good till the s22U? Now there not… my apologies lol

    • OW

      April 27, 2023 at 9:46 am

      @Rair111 I mean 10x is usable but I wouldn’t use 30x for any photos.

    • OW

      April 27, 2023 at 9:50 am

      @Kwame Sarpong it’s been the same thing from the S20 series, all they did was change the design and increase over the years (except for the ridiculously priced S20 Ultra). The phones has performed about the same up until the S23 series. Seeing as the S20 series came out around the same time as iPhone 11, Samsung hasn’t been innovative with their Galaxy line up for the same amount of series

    • Rair111

      April 27, 2023 at 4:42 pm

      @OW you’d be surprised at how good it is.

    • OW

      April 27, 2023 at 6:40 pm

      @Rair111 I have the S23U; I would not use a 30x photo except to maybe look at something lol the picture starts to get muddled

    Hi bro,
    Could you please suggest
    Is that okay to buy iphone14 pro in april 2023 ?

    • Bryton Peter

      April 28, 2023 at 12:42 am

      if you can afford the next iphone 15 pro/pro max i would say wait for them, but if your not sure of the money id say buy the 14 pro now (i have a 14 pro max)

  19. Jim Pilot

    April 26, 2023 at 2:29 pm

    Definitely waiting for the pro max iPhone 18 ultra 8k hdr !!!

    • sherri moquin

      April 27, 2023 at 12:01 am

      iPhone 18 doesn’t exist yet and you should wait until the s24u comes out next year 3:21

    • Graham Evans

      April 27, 2023 at 4:17 am

      @sherri moquin I think that was a tongue in cheek comment lol

    • T Amy

      April 28, 2023 at 7:19 pm

      And which one is best?

    • Moh Khan

      April 28, 2023 at 8:31 pm

      @T Amy google search for benchmark results and base your decision on your needs (best display, best battery, best cpu, best camera etc)

  21. Jeff Y

    April 26, 2023 at 3:21 pm

    I have a 13PM, it has its issues (I’m looking at you top and bottom speakers 😡). Because of that I was HIGHLY contemplating an upgrade (I use Verizon, and since I bought my phone from apple instead of a monthly plan, they HOUND me weekly to upgrade). But I decided to just deal with what I have until the 15 drops and see if it’s a big enough change to push me towards a new device.

    I hope it is. I would love a behind-screen fingerprint reader, or a FaceTime camera behind-screen for a notch, or island-less design. I know we won’t get either, but damn it would be glorious. For now if we just get USB-C instead of lightning as well as the dynamic island I think that’ll be enough for Verizon to take my money, lol.

    April 26, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    I’m ready for the 15 pro already.

    I was not ready for that ending! For real though, is it just me or did it look like he was crying in that first 10 seconds or so. His cheeks seem to have some type of shininess

    As far as the phone is concerned, I traded from an iPhone 14 pro Max to a Galaxy fold 4 and have not regretted it! I’ve had almost every model of the iPhone. You can say safely I’m a Apple / iPhone person. But more over this I love tech! So I’ve dabbled with Android and galaxys in the past. After seeing a few out in the wild I could not resist the temptation any further. So far I’ve been loving it and unless Apple does something incredible with this next model I’m waiting for the next fold. Tempted to see what Google does with their first entry, but excited to see what the fold five brings. I hope Apple really changes the game and brings something exciting this year! I just got too bored with my iPhone

    Love my 14PM! Came to it from Note20U. No complaints. It works flawlessly. It sucks about the bugs but honestly, it’s been pretty bug free for me. Like others, I hope developers will code for dynamic island more, but currently found it pretty cool, even if limited.

    • Brutality Com

      April 27, 2023 at 3:40 am

      Isn’t 14PM extremely heavy?

    • Jim Kanaris

      April 27, 2023 at 9:24 am

      @Brutality Com the difference between the two is practically negligible—at least for me

    • OW

      April 27, 2023 at 9:51 am

      @Brutality Com compared to the foldables people don’t mind using, not at all

    Still love my 13 pro max. Battery life still amazing nearly 2 years later. Only thing I’d like to have from the 14 is the dynamic island. I’ll be holding out for the 15 or 16 before I upgrade since my 13 pro max is still so darn good.

    • Christy Marshall

    Apple has got to be the most frustrating thing to use. Everything has to be difficult about them. Defiantly ditching mine and going back to a real phone

    April 27, 2023 at 2:08 am

    I have iPhone Pro Max 14 and there is a problem with Touch is not working with some app which is installed from the Apple store and Wlan sometimes cannot change itself from one to the next hop it looks like a Samsung phone which is used for 3 years and does not function well need to be changed and the positive side is battery and nothing else and android is far better than IOS after using iPhone pro max for one month.

  31. Brian

    April 27, 2023 at 2:38 am

    Don’t like the additional camera focus distance it requires and the images are way too processed. Compared to 13 pro.

  32. Abin Babu

    I am also planning to buy an iPhone 14 pro…should i need to wait for 15 pro ..or can i buy 14 pro

    • Silviu Ghindoc

      April 27, 2023 at 9:10 am

      wait for the 15 pro, if u really want an iphone. at least it will finally have usb c. if u want real top tier phone just buy s23 ultra right now.

    Apple please bring back the sim tray I had the 14 promax, but I also like using Samsung got tired of calling the carrier every time I want to use a different phone so I went back to the 13 promax. Esim no good.

    Nice review/recap of the iPhone Pro & Pro Max. I wanted to ask a question, about a week ago, after putting my iPhone 14 Pro on the charger the night before and then going to bed, I woke up to a black screen. Nothing worked, it just was “dead”. I went and found on one of Apple’s forums that others have had this same issue and the “solution” is to press the up volume, then the down volume and then hold the power button in until the apple logo is displayed. In my case it took a little over two hours for that “solution” to work but it did and my phones been fine since [and what’s surprising is that there was a full charge so it wasn’t like it was completely drained or anything]. Have you ever encountered this issue [as it seems to be something that a LOT of people have]. No answers on Apple site either as to what caused it but i suspect something was pushed from Apple and the results are mixed. For some it works fine, but for others like myself the phone basically becomes a useless brick until it comes back to life.

    I picked up a gold 14 Pro in mid December, it’s been a mostly decent phone for me. I haven’t had any of the serious issues some have had, I did have that weather bug but that seems to have gone away and at times earlier in my ownership sometimes I had to toggle airplane mode on and off to get reception in certain areas at random times, that too seems to have gone away. My main wish is for something better than a 3X zoom lens in the next version, and I don’t want to have buy the Max Pro to get it

    I’ve got the iphone 14 pro, it’s a good but screen size is a bit small and the battery isn’t very good so I’m looking forward to the pro max this year with the iPhone 15 pro max
