Battery life is not long. Pure average on my 14 Pro Max. Fake advertisement Apple.
You’re only supposed to tow ONE SINGLE giant pumpkin from Nowhere to Nowtown.
There's no way the iPhone still be in the phone holder, it would be somewhere in the backseat or underneath something or worse out in the road. o_O
No doubt; any righteous airbag would have shot it right out the back window. I saw a crash about 20 years ago, and the young lady front passenger had gotten smacked by the passenger front airbag when the car she was riding in t-boned a car doing an unprotected and foolish left turn in front of the car she was riding in.

I know that airbags today are supposed to be less powerful for less powerful crashes. But back then, people were getting bee-eye-itch slapped by their airbags…more like being punched in the face. Her face had that swelling you see in prize fighters right after getting their clock cleaned. You know. Red (REALLY RED), tender and painful looking, with the appearance of “oooooh, you gon’ have a bruise the size of Oaklahoma tomorrow, honey!” Yeah, THAT kind of bruise; the kind that looks worse and worse every day for a week before it finally develops that yellowish tinge around it and begins to fade.

Airbags are still powerful. They can hurt you and even break your nose if they catch you wrong. I think if Siri gets hit by an airbag and she ends up on the street behind the car, she probably should just call 911 and handle the whole call with 911 dispatch. ‘Cause it’s gonna take you a few minutes to stop the dancing unicorns, lollipops, and fairy dust, and stars from going around your head, and you still ain’t making any cogent phone calls anytime soon.

It's pretty poor, right? I find myself always carrying an Anker magsafe battery if I leave the house and keep it plugged in when I'm home. Otherwise, it won't last.
Unless your flashlight is enabled 100% of the time you use your iPhone 🤪 that seems an unusual amount of battery depletion in 9 months.
 
Thats probably because the thread says "two new iPhone 14 ads". Apart from that, battery life on pretty much every iPhone is horrible in real life. 4-7 hours max. Additionally degrading over time with use. They all got a point. Including you.

I don't know what everyone else is doing with their phones but my 14 Pro Max is getting 12 hours of use with roughly 5-6 hours of screen on time watching videos/web browsing/navigation running the iOS 17 beta which is (expectedly) a lot less optimized for battery life. On iOS 16 I was usually able to go at least 1.5 days without having to worry about finding a charger.

Yeah, when Apple says their iPhone having good battery life, I know their iPhone having bad battery life.
 
Crash detection works. Was in a head on collision back in FEB and it sent a text to all my contacts under my emergency contacts.

Non Max is even worse. The 14 Pro has the worst battery life in recent iPhones. It also overheats a lot and contributes to the rapid degradation of battery health to 90% in less than a year for mine.
Have had my 14 Pro Max since launch day and the battery health is still at 100%.I always MagSafe charge overnight too.No complaints with battery life either,it’s excellent.
 
My iPhone 14 Pro has a pretty terrible battery life. Never lasts a full day, and I keep it on low power mode automatically after it hits 50%
 
iOS 16 has been god awful in terms of optimization. Battery life and speed took a permanent hit on my 13 Pro since 16.0 and it has not improved. As if this phone isn’t capable enough for the latest OS. Hell, even 14 users are complaining which says it all.
 
Good ad. Hopefully battery life on the upcoming 15 series will be even better.
The Apple Geniuses continue to assert that these claims of a new iPhone are merely rumors, Their persistent denial raises doubts about their credibility.

At every Apple Event in September or October, Apple proclaims the newest iPhone as the ultimate best, further fueling my skepticism. To me, this is all marketing especially Apple Crash Detection.

Disable location services (and manually turn off unnecessary location services especially from apps and System Services), disable background refresh, auto email fetching, and animation are just a few things I do to help battery life. Oh, disable 5G and Wi-Fi when not needed/in use.
 
Why is the Crash Test ad implying that crash detention is a feature exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro?
It doesn’t imply that at all. Did you watch the ad? It just said, "Crash Detection. Relax, it's iPhone 14 Pro"

Where did it say it was exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro? People need to stop making up things that aren’t there.

Can you find one very popular and widely sold consumer product ever, that some people didn’t like and others praised for whatever reasons?

With apple products there will never be universal agreement.

Not sure how much better the 14 is from the 13, but my 13 Pro Max has been impressive. With the new 3nm shrink optimization and larger battery in the iPhone 15, I am excited for those of us who travel a lot.
 
i have a 12 mini losing battery life...is it true the 13 mini has better battery life?
Honestly, mine too. Sometimes I go outside for two hours and only listen to the music, 5G on. When I get back home the battery life is 40%. When I go somewhere further I must make sure I have a portable charger with me.

same here, i carry around a portable charger within my own home
 
I got my iPhone 14 Pro Max on 4OCT2022. I use it over 15 hours every day. Battery is now at 97% capacity and runs all day without charging. I shut off screen always showing as a waste of power.
My iPhone 14 pro is at 95% capacity. Seems low for not even being a year old!

Even better: just turn off your phone entirely. I’m sure your battery will last even longer then.
