Third-Party Cases for iPhone 14 Lineup Highlight Design Tweaks, Larger Pro Camera Bump

Bro relax.

It’s just names 😅. It’s already to confusing with all the names. But yah I get you. Steve Jobs had his touch when I came to publicity and design

 

[Jim Lahey]

Come back Jonny Ive, all is forgiven.

 

[sylverckerjp]

G4 Cube, iPhone 3GS, Ping

There were all sorts of weird and wonderful names under Jobs

Actually that iPhone 3G is a great name 🤣🤣🤣. Coming from the IPhone to the iPhone 3G. Why Apple needed to make sure people knew the phone was 3g capa le and not just tell it was the iPhone 2 🤦🏻‍♂️. Great point of view you had here!

I guess this means we can cook dinner faster? 🙃

 

[DanteHicks79]

Johnny Ive was obsessed with making things as thin as possible.

Tim Cook likes them thicc bois

„Plus“ makes not much sense to me but anything is better than how Sony names it’s gadgets I suppose.

The „Plus“ is the bigger version of the regular iPhone yet the „Max“ is the bigger version of the „Pro“ 🤷🏽 makes more sense to me to keep it consistent

iPhone > iPhone Max
iPhone Pro > iPhone Pro Max

I don’t mind the bump as long the overall camera quality is good. Apple might as well make the phone ticker to add more battery life.

But then you have the complainers talking about "it's too heavy!" 🤪 iPhone users are apparently a tough crowd to please lol.

 

[sbrhwkp3]

So excited for the redesignated iPhone.

 

[Alias3800]

These honestly look entirely too small after seeing the phones that Xiaomi/Leica have produced.

I’m sure there will be some technological advances, but they’re not going far enough (sensor-wise), and I think that next year there will be an even bigger increase. That’s the one I’m waiting for.

 

[Rychiar]

So buy a case...? Better grip and the extra protection makes for a flush back.

Even the cases have a bump with the 13 pro max….

 

[JM]

Great Scott!

Look at the size of that thing! What’s the point of a good camera when it’s going to tip over out of your hand from being so top heavy, lol. 🤣

 

[2540497]

Where’s the LiDAR gone?

 

[JM]

True. 14 Pro looks ridiculous.

And the 14 Max isn’t too attractive either.

The 14 and 14Pro Max look actually good as far as camera arrays go.

Things that go Camera Bump in the Night Mode.

The names are still ******. Under Steve Jobs:
iBook, iMac
PowerBook, PowerMac

Since then
iPhone Normal, Pro, Pro Max, Plus, SE
Why is it not Pro Plus? Or Max instead of Plus?
M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra
Why here Ultra and not Pro Max?
Why not for iPhones:
iPhone XS, XM, XL and
iPhone Pro XS, XM, XL
Or anything else, that is remotely more consistent in its naming.

And yet they all mostly sell like hot cakes. I can only conclude that nobody really GAF.

PowerMac G3, PowerMac G4, PowerMac Cube, PowerMac G4 Gigabit Ethernet, PowerMac G4 Quicksilver, PowerMac G4 Mirrored Door, PowerMac G5; Powerbook Wallstreet, Powerbook Lombard, Powerbook Pismo, Powerbook Titanium, Powerbook Aluminum in three sizes, etc.

Since then
iPhone Normal, Pro, Pro Max, Plus, SE
Why is it not Pro Plus? Or Max instead of Plus?

What about iPod Scroll Wheel, iPod Touch Wheel, iPod Click Wheel, iPod Mini, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Photo (which plays video but doesn't have video in its name), iPod Color Display, iPod Classic, iPod Touch

M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra

PPC, G3, G4, G5, Core, Core 2Duo, and a bunch of Mhz and Ghz measurements, some with turbo boost, others without.

Why here Ultra and not Pro Max?
Why not for iPhones:
iPhone XS, XM, XL and
iPhone Pro XS, XM, XL
Or anything else, that is remotely more consistent in its naming.

What does XS mean without Small? What does XM mean without Medium? How can something be Extra Medium? What does XL mean without Large?

I agree that the naming could be cleaned up but your inevitable "Steve Jobs would never" comment is misplaced, because all of his products had simple names at the beginning, but complex variations of those names after several years. I don't think we need the names of the computers and phones to be consistent with each other.

True. 14 Pro looks ridiculous.

The 14 and 14Pro Max look actually good as far as camera arrays go.

In my opinion, the Pro and Pro Max are the only iPhones worth getting.

 

[name99]

Just make the darn phone thicker so that bump isn’t so bad. It’s annoying to use on a flat surface.

If it bugs you, put a case on the phone!

iPhone > iPhone Max
iPhone Pro > iPhone Pro Max

Although one of the devices is labeled iPhone "14 Plus," there is no reliable evidence to suggest that this will be the device's final naming, with the "14 Max" moniker being more likely in parallel to the "iPhone 14 Pro Max."

 

[_Spinn_]

I though the camera bump on the 13 was huge. Looks like a good update though.

 

[Saturn007]

iPhone > iPhone Max
iPhone Pro > iPhone Pro Max

Ultra Max, Ultra Max Pro, Ultra-ultra Pro Max Pro, Excelsior, Magnum Max Pro Ultra, Magnum, P.I….

Which one is the best?

I don't think we need the names of the computers and phones to be consistent with each other.

But we do need for them to logical and remotely connected with their meaning, especially for the ranking of the models.

Let's admit that the naming is getting ridiculous, especially when the consumer encountering the names, e.g., of the models or Silicon chips, can't even tell which one is better and which is the best!

Of course, the price tag offers a clue…😎

 

[britboyj]

Screw the camera bump. Make the phone thicker and give me just a bonkers battery. Like, a week+ of usage.

The iPhone 14 names make sense with these understandings.
1. Max = Maximum size
2. Pro = Best camera array, more RAM, highest specs.

There is a large enough gap between calling the large phones "Plus" and "Max" that its not worth mentioning in the context of consistency.

You're not getting a week of regular use even with a powerbank twice the size of the Pro Max.

You seriously care about this? If you do....man, I wish I had so few problems in my life I could list this complaint as one of them.
