Interesting. The battery on the 14 Pro/Pro Max is not the best, but there's no way its that bad. 88% battery health in less than one year sounds really bad. You probably got a defective battery, I would get that checked since you still have warranty.
Coconut Battery isn't available in the App Store. I don't know why he linked to that random website. This is the link: https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/
Thank you! Downloaded but unfortunately can’t connect my phone via USB since I am running ios17 PB3. Is there a native iPhone app that can identify the battery manufacturer? I am pretty sure I have a Desay battery as my battery health is at 91% which Apple claims as “normal” after a yearcoconutBattery 4 - by coconut-flavour.com
With coconutBattery you are always aware of your current battery health. It shows you live information about the battery in your Mac and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)
There's only so much that can be down with a sandwich of glass and metal.
It's not in the appstore as far as I am aware - download it from https://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/
We're beyond the big initial explosion of invention, but everyone is still coming down off the party and isn't used to being as bored by their cellphones as they are with their laptops or desktops.
I think if there was a 14 mini or 15 mini coming, by now there would’ve been more indications of that (rumors) coming from the supply chain. Then again, it doesn’t make sense that Apple would just list them for kicks. It’s possible that instead of lowering the price of the 13 mini to $499 or discontinuing it, Apple could replace it with a 14 mini which would probably be easy for Apple to do given the minor spec upgrades that we got from the 13 to the 14. They could then keep it at $599. It won’t give 13 mini owners a good reason to upgrade, but maybe for 12 mini owners? Right now, I think there’s probably a 75 percent chance that Apple discontinues the 13 mini, but Apple may want to keep giving current mini owners an option.
The all day and a half “poor” battery life. Put my phone down on the charger after full day of use for work with average 40% left. The 14 pro battery is amazing.
I think the battery life on my 14 Pro is great, but my previous iPhone was a 12 Pro so you have take that into account.
Well, when a MBA has an M3 chip but the more expensive models have an M2, it isn't so clear because it's hard to tell which is faster and why you are paying more for less.
No notch or island does present a UI problem though. Having some identifiable feature on the front to tell you which way is up is beneficial to ease of use. That said, I guess I'm just completely uninterested in folding screens, and would prefer the home button with TouchID comes back. I don't care about the lower bezel for the button. I just liked the flow of using the phone better than I do with everything being a swipe gesture now. We have so many swipe gestures and what not now that the phone often gets confused of which one I'm actually trying to activate. Same for Long Press. Bring back 3D Touch and the headphone jack, plz. For me peak ease of use of an iPhone was the 6S. It's only gotten more convoluted and messy since.
I had a 13 mini for 10 days and returned it for a a refurbed 12 Pro. The mini screen resolution is not properly supported by iOS and it makes it a compromise I couldn't deal with. Apps didn't render right, and landscape use was a joke. It SHOULD have been fine because the SE has lower overall resolution and the 8+ I came from had the same width screen, but it just didn't. Many apps and web pages locked onto the screen height as the deciding factor on how to render. Either that, or the Apple API developers simply abandoned the mini since it is discontinued and thus the calls get translated wrong. Either way, it was often unusable.
For the most advanced camera tricks, the faster the better. Which is why the Pros need the fastest. In year two, if they bring those tricks to the non-pros with the same chip in the next iOS, there will be newer tricks that only work with the newest chip. Rinse and repeat.
It's not a TUMOR!
TBH a 14 Mini that had USBC would absolutely be a reason for me to upgrade from my 13 mini right now 🙂
No idea what you’re talking about. I’ve just upgraded from a 12 mini to a 13 mini (so I can keep it another 4+ years). I use a zoomed view (which I only remembered because my friends ask if I’m blind). Never had a problem with any apps.
The thing is, IMO user operation is what causes overheats quite a lot and consumes a lot of power, thus the poor battery life. Not in my best guess the A16 chip per se but rather the operation of the the A16 chip as we users interact with iOS.
