True that. Im going from 5 years of big screens to the "small" pro :/

I don’t think ur going to like it. Don’t do it, it’s hard to go back to a smaller screen factor. It irritated me so much. Felt like I was using iPhone 4s. 😝

Going to purchase a screen protector for the Pro Max, any final advice on going for ESR Armorite or Spigen?

Nope. Locking in early with MM allows 14 days in saved basket, then can move to selling basket and get 21 days.

I don’t have a spare phone and am waiting for 14 delivered to transfer and then sell. I locked in early

That’s true, and don’t forget that you can get another 14 days by saving for a second time before the checkout phase. I’ve done this giving me as much as 7 weeks if I need it.

It may be possible to save your basket 3 or more times for all I know.

Looks like the new iPhones are getting a James Webb telescope built in. Can't wait to use that.

Makes sense. I went to Pro Max or Pro and I didn’t like it one bit. This happened during the iPhone 12 when it was delayed due to COVID. Pro Max was out in November. It’s hard to drop down to size. You just get used to it.

I sent my Pro Max to MM earlier this week and using an iPhone 13 (non pro), I hate the size. I need a Max back. Only 10 days or so to wait, I have only been using it for 2 days as well!!

Ahhh, the struggle is going to be real for you. But on the good side, you will appreciate your 14 Pro Max even more when it arrives.

Silver is the new thing! MacBook Pro 14/16 look amazing in Silver!!

Definitely. Love my 14” MBP M1 Pro.

There are people here who would recommend both.

Are you thinking Spigen EZ Fit or AlignMaster? Shame the latter (with black frame) doesn’t come with the EZ fit application method.

Same here - will you get the silver iPhone?

Unfortunately this year I cannot watch the apple event live because of a certain thing called "work"

I wonder why apple didnt choose September 14 (14th for iPhone 14) for the event?

 

[CD3660]

I might. I’ve had silver (or white) in the past but I’ve opted for Space Grey and Graphite for the last 3 years or so.

Was thinking AlignMaster if it will be easier to use.

Anyone know if

Haha I wasn't too bad in store.

The max design just felt too much for me.

Spoke to a guy in the shop who went from years of big androids to the pro and said there's definitely an adjustment period.

Anyone know if 14 cases will be out from companies like Rhinoshield this week? On holiday next Saturday so reluctant to take a naked iPhone with me otherwise

 

[CD3660]

This thread is really motoring today!

Does the black frame make much of a difference? I was going EZ fit this time as I prefer the fitting method but have used an ESR with the black frame for the last year so maybe I’ll miss it? I didn’t think there would be much difference given the border around the screen is black anyway?

Don’t do that, it’s tempting fate.

For those of you that use screen protectors, will you install one straight out of the box without ever touching the screen? Or do you play with the phone a bit then add it?

I never used to use them but did start on my 13 pro max but not straightaway. Just ordered a spigen protector for the 14 pro max (used ESR last time but prefer the installation method of spigen) so I’m ready to go when I get the phone. But whether to touch the naked screen first or not, that’s the question?!

I installed my one on the 13 PM as soon as I took it out of the box. I've changed the screen protector twice since and to this day I still have no idea what the actual screen feels like...

For a second my stupid self thought you meant people would recommend putting on one top of the other LOL

So the one thing I noticed with the black frame is that it just felt more seamless and didn’t see any light refraction at the edges from the screen in a dimly lit room. Maybe I’m overthinking it 😂

...lets hope there's no 'lint-gate' on these new glass protectors!

I’ve just checked out with my saved order at MM. Hubby’s 11 pro max that I locked in for £345 with the UPGRADE22 code. I now have 21 days to get it to the Asda Smart Kiosk down the road in Stockport.

I second this. Had the ESR Armorite on my 13 pro max for almost a year. It saved my screen after a bad drop and I installed the second one. Very happy with it so will buy the same again but probably going standard pro this time.
