iPhone 14 Battery Capacities For All Four Models Revealed Ahead of Launch

I’ve never used a ProMotion display, so it probably won’t matter to me if limiting frame rate does preserve it. I’ll try it and see if I want to keep it on.
Perhaps iOS 15 has become slower, because my 13 still shows 100% battery health, despite having noticed a drop in battery life.
Still good enough for me; I tend to charge each 2 days and I often top it up a little when working on my mac.
Having a mac with a magsafe surface incorporated would be super convenient.

AW8 has the same bezels as Ultra. But for AW8 these bezels curve around the corner so they are not noticiable. Since Ultra has no curved Display, bezels are much more visiable.
That is not the bezel though, the curved part is just the curving of the glass not the curving of the screen which is just flat. Not the same, that extra piece of black border on the AW 8 is just glass curving/refraction.
I think if you’re shooting pro raw/pro video, you’re not buying the phone, for a phone.
I’ve purchased the best version of the iPhone every year since it was introduced and this is the first year I won’t be upgrading and here is partly why.
The battery in the pro would be less as the Face ID sensors and front facing camera. Have dropped down slightly from the fixed location at the top of the housing. Into a space that had previously been occupied by battery. As you wouldn’t have a battery that essentially had a hole in it so as to encircle the sensors. I’m goin going to assume that they were forced to go with a smaller battery and in turn that the loss of the sim tray was an effort to create some additional room that would allow for a slightly larger battery then would’ve be feasible with it. Enough of a battery reduction that they would’ve shown shorter battery times then the 13 had. I can see the meeting, similar to a movie with NASA, “we need this to fit into there, so what weight can we remove?”
But to be clear about 90% of the reason as to why the iPhone “13S” is so underwhelming is directly related to apple not being able to move forward with their own cell modem and instead being forced to continue with Qualcomm. Apple lost a patent infringement case against Qualcomm forcing them to remain dependent for now. The lack of the rumored price increase is most likely related to Apple having to use the contract they had with last years power hungry and sus modems as any new contract would’ve allowed Qualcomm to fleece Apple, as they had no other option. It’s why you still don’t have Wi-Fi 6E integration. But bother the 13 and 14 series have satellite capabilities, the question is do they activate them on both models. One last positive and this will be delayed until Samsung released their new phones with aptx lossless. But iPhones are already capable of such but won’t be the first to market as no desire for any additional antitrust concerns. But all it takes is a firmware update and the first wireless experience of true lossless will be had. Think Airdrop. 😉

In fact the iPhone 14 Pro will last between 5hrs less and 4hrs hours more than the iPhone 14 according to Apple.
What's strange to me is the audio will last 5 hours less... there's no reason why? Are the speakers better on the Pro?
I think generally the 14 Pro will last longer.
I remember the 12 line was completely broken. The 12 Pro's battery was shorter than the regular 12.
The pro has the sensor array in the same location as the 13 pro, affixed to the top of the housing to maximize space and allowing for a larger battery
No. In the US, all 4 models have lost the SIM tray.
Everywhere else in the world, all 4 models still have the SIM tray.
As someone who's owned every iPhone except the 6 I'm losing interest in the 14 Pro Max. I mean I preordered it but due to some issues with Apple's website I won't get the phone until 10/3 at the earliest. I'm glad now so I can see what people think of it before it's actually delivered and I can cancel it if I want too. The more I think about it I think Dynamic Island is just a gimmick that that may get old after awhile. The 13 Pro Max is a fantastic phone and I don't see much difference in the newer models. What I really want is at least 10x zoom. I would upgrade for sure if that were a new feature.
So the regular 14 wallpaper is the same islands only a few bases further along the evening and after a couple tequilas?
They only got rid of it in the US so that means they likely didn't design around that saved space as it means different parts for the international models.
Getting rid of the SIM slot only helps once they do it globally or have two different internal designs. I suspect they won't ever really do the second.
It means Apple released a product that is inferior to its predecessor. Sad!
