iPhone 14 Pro So I love my 14 pro, but also really miss my 13 mini.

That mini really is a great little phone, but I’m enjoying my bigger screen now, and no longer second-guessing myself.

Good! Stick with the beast 14 Pro! I love mine and even coming from a damn 13 Pro and even tried the 14 Pro Max..returned the Max because too large for daily use.

I tried the max, but only in store, comparing it to the pro. I think it would definitely have been too big a jump from the mini, but maybe next year… ;-p

Honestly, the weights didn’t feel much different at all, so after having a pro again for a year or more, I may be ready to make that jump. We’ll see.

I’ve decided that I’m going to return both 14 Pro and Pro Max phones.

The 13 Mini is still a beast for my day-to-day use that I should save my money this time around. I love the form factor and sharp screen.

I guess it also helps that I replaced my destroyed iPhone Mini 13 last month at the Apple Store for $230 (dropped and lost it on rollercoaster 🤣), which means I have at-least another good 2 years before I will need a battery replacement.

Now if I was going to do some traveling in the near future, I would’ve kept the Pros.

Had my 14P for a full 48hrs now and the size I’m used to. The weight not so much. I mean in the hand it doesn’t bother me unless I’m moving it forward/back to feel the weight. In my jogging pants pocket on the way home, I double knotted my draw string to keep from falling. I’m svelte in stature (32-34w at 5’10).

I disliked having my to keep checking the 14P in my pocket every few minutes on the hour ride home.

1 key importance of my use was I haven’t installed all my apps yet, alerts strangely enough are not fully taking advantage of the dynamic island. Grrrr. This was one of those things Apple should’ve discussed at WWDC not the Apple Carkit coming in a few years.

screw that, giving the 14Pro back, and sticking with the 13Mini.

Although I just put my 12 mini up for sale on Kijiji and got my lens and 4 screen protectors (camera lens kit came with 2) I’m going to return the 14 Pro and get the 13 mini instead.

My pants keep falling down with the 14 Pro.
I didn't have this problem with 12 mini.
But I do like the larger screen and macro camera.
And most importantly, I love the AOD.

I also brought home new tires for my FastRoad SL2 which barely got any road time this summer (grrr work craziness). and I see no way this Pro will fit in track pants while riding. Even in jeans home tonight it annoyed me. Kinda felt like a douche pulling it out of my pocket and people glancing at it.

Not my style, doesn’t suit my life style at all. In 25mins going to backup. Wipe the 12 mini and restore. Saturday I’ll AC+ the 12 mini for new battery/full replacement. Restore again. I’ll pray 16.4 fixes bugs dive experienced.

I’ll barely miss the camera quality just a few basic night shots but I’m no shutterbug anyhow.

Crash protection, I’ll get with the S8 Apple Watch on Friday. Satellite sos I’ll not need unless next summer I ride 160km+ up north a real maddening challenge for me.

I see no difference in typing accuracy for me. I see absolute need for two handed use which I detest.

If Apple can do a foldable better than the Motorola RAZR 2022 with a fully useable putter screen (not that joke of junk of the Z Flip 4) then I’ll upgrade. More than likely the 13 mini will be reborn as an SE with dynamic island. Cost of scale would make sense for Apple at the end of the 15 models having it and in 3rd qtr upgrade the SE tot he mini chassis and design.

Ignore.
