Well, because it rocks I don’t do that. If it didn’t, I would do it a lot (push on the phone by virtue of using it). It’s not really conducive to being used sitting flat on a table with no case, which is how I roll (no case).
True, if you touch the phone screen a lot when it’s flat on a table, it’s not at all ideal.

Just setting up. Purple looks gorgeous but that bump and those lenses - they are huge and even the case has a bump. No more sitting flat now we have a perma parked see saw!

it didn't look that big in the pics are you returning it for a pro?

It’s honestly such a big and unruly phone but I just can’t quit the larger screen. The MagSafe PopSocket really helps with one-handed operation though.

I think Apple just needs to evolve its Reachability feature if they're going to give us larger and larger phones.

I tend to go with the Caudabe Sheath and Pitaka MagEz Case. I like the Pitaka since it's thin and grippy, and the bottom is open, so you get that smooth swipe-down action without a case bumping up on it. Conversely, the Caudabe is substantially beefier in comparison but also provides an excellent grip. I tend to switch it up depending on what I'll be doing.

Some people don't like that the bottom of the Pitaka is exposed and less protected, but I think it's the closest to having a fully naked phone.

I would consider going case-less, especially with the new AppleCare+ Unlimited repairs, since it would be cheaper to get a replacement phone ($30), but the phone is just too damn slippery.

so with the apple care plus, if you drop it they'll give you a new one? Pitaka is great case!

Yep, drop or lost, you can replace a screen or back glass damage for $30, and it's also just $149 to replace a new phone in case it was stolen or lost.

If the phone were easier to hold grip-wise, I would probably save the money I would use for cases, but alas.

I have the iPhone 13 Pro with AppleCare via the iPhone Upgrade Program and I wanna change the battery (it's been kinda crappy), do you know how much they'll charge me?

I must say... after having my 14 Pro for a few hours, I still can't get over the camera lenses. They're frikkin' huge.
Sat it next to my 12 Pro and what a difference. Bigger in all aspects.
My Spigen slim armor is working overtime on this one. 😂

For me coming from the iPhone X the 14 Pro Max's Cameras look ginormous :)

Disappointed though the torch function is way more powerful on my X compared to the 14 :/

I noticed the light is a bit warmer on the 14 Pro which I like but the brightness is the same to me. Is it on full?
