It’s terribly designed and with the blog format it emphasizes the worst of social media. I’d much rather have a few well written articles than a blog with constant updates many of which are trying to pass off imbedded tweets as news.

iPhone 14 Pro Reviews: Dynamic Island Shows Promise, 48-Megapixel ProRAW Photos Impress

I've watched both the Verge's reviews and that is just about enough for me. Might do Engadget and MKBHD and of course Zollotech. As for the others, meh. I look forward to checking it out at the store in person, but overall, I feel like I am going to stay with my self imposed upgrade cycle which will be next year. Somehow, its starting to feel like the iPhone is peaking.
That subscription can't come soon enough.

I find these criticisms always ridiculous. What, exactly, was Patel expecting? New features rarely have tons of developer support out of the gate. I’ll also say Joanna Stern’s schtick is getting old. She had to go to an actual island to review the 14 Pro? Seriously? These reviews are less and less about product insights. They’re just about tech publications showing off making fancy videos.This is literally not true, but it's what I expect from that dumbass Patel.

Zollotech is quite in-depth but he’s a massive apple shill desperate to get invited to the inner circle and events.
I only check that website once a year, but who signed off on that Verge redesign? It looks like it's from the same people who "masterminded" the Dropbox redesign, just garish fonts, and colors everywhere.
I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Huh?
ProRaw is for making still photographs. Do you use ProRes or even know what it is? That's for video recording.
People who do and understand the benefit for shooting in ProRes will certainly look at the specs which are easy to read and will choose a larger memory option.
Man, this girl lives rent free in y'alls heads. She must love it.
Agree. These preview images should only be on Adult sites 🥵
If that purple review is true, I am going for Black. At least black I want to be black. Colors I want to be bright. Both MG and PB were the same for me as they say about Purple. Looked Gray or Black.
Someone mentioned that Joanna Stern went to an actual island to do a review?
I read that and spit out my coffee from laughter. Silliness abounds with some reviewers

“…ahead of time, the first reviews of the devices have now been shared with select media publications and YouTube channels.”
You can bet that these are the reviewers known for hard-hitting, honest comparisons!

Most of these reviewers are either almost saying or even saying how underwhelmed they are with this upgrade. The camera improvements are almost imperceptible compared to the 13 Pro. Dynamic Island has already tired me even by watching these videos. I think it’s one of those features that will be abandoned by Apple in a couple of years. It’s solid a phone for those coming from the 11 and earlier, but all the others are better off waiting for the 15.
Looks like there are not customization options... https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...tery-life-saving-techniques-and-more.2359104/
How could anyone have done a true comprehensive battery test in such a short timeframe?
Just like every year (with a couple exceptions) most of these are effectively just PR spots for the chosen YouTubers to gain views, praise Apple and effectively do very little.
Looking forward to some more of the deep dive investigations like we usually see a couple weeks after the phones are in the hands of the general public.

The YouTube video I’m looking forward is for JerryRigEveything infamous launch day video. Classic
Basically, iPhone camera is never as good as apple marketing bs shows to us. It’s just a freaking phone. It will never have the capacity to compete against $175000 professional camera with high quality lenses that can shoot objects 5m away with fine detail.So, Apple still applies the horrible correction on iPhone 14pro pictures too. No that huge jump I expected on cameras
Are they better than before? Umm, maybe yes. As good as the one shown in apple ads? Nowhere even remotely close to that.
You’re kidding right? 13 Pro was the biggest update since the iPhone received OLED in 2017.
I am so happy I blocked Renee Ritchie everywhere this period of the year. 😁
I’m disappointed. I’ve now watched/read 3 reviews and my conclusions seem to be that the (1) the camera isn’t that improved and the processing is still over the top. The Pixel seems to win in nearly every comparison I see, and (2) battery life is down despite being advertised as having better battery life than the corresponding 13 Pros.
Pretty sucky that the camera is supposed to be the main selling feature, it’s not even that improved, and still lags behind the competition in photos.
