So Amazon has been a let down this year? What about Currys are they delivering on first day?

THANK YOU!

I was worried about this and the main reason I skipped the IP13. Have you done the grey uniformity test with low brightness and all? Would you be able to provide some photos also?

First image is a dark grey image (attached) at minimum brightness, second is Settings at about 10%. Night Shift turned on because I find it accentuates the issue when present.

The photos make it look more uneven than it really is, probably due to the slight colour shift at different angles (normal for OLED). To the eye, it looks really uniform and lovely! ❤️

This is a 13 Pro Max I tried and promptly returned, for contrast:

I should add that you shouldn’t do this test when your phone is hot! The heat from the logic board will discolour the display area in front of it (not visible during normal use).

Just got back from the MK apple store myself it was very quiet. Straight in and straight out

Nice! My local store is MK also - wish I was able to pickup in store, still sitting here waiting for delivery.

On pre order day at 13:01 if didn’t let me select pickup!

Thing is, every year people say the screens are yellower than the last year's phone. If that were true, they would be unreadable by now.

Look at my iPhone 14 Pro it’s so Vs iPhone 13 Pro.

Finally have an update from Amazon Phone arriving tomorrow

Did it just transfer across

Yes - did device to device transfer and it asked me to transfer and I said yes, but then it said 'eSIM transfer more info required. Contact EE after transfer of device' ( i am paraphrasing here) once device transfer was complete, went to mobile data and it transfer plan ( on new phone), confirmed on old device and it took about 15 seconds to activate. All good in the hood for me

 

[BillGates1969]

How did you do the ee Esim?

see reply above - just followed the prompts

[Apple Mac Daz]

eSim won’t transfer across 😡

I never cared about the always on display, but the 14 Pro has it on by default. It’s not really the black and white moving clock, but the display is REALLY always on, but dimmer. I left it on for now, but I have to see how much it consumes - and besides I don’t know how to program to turn it off overnight as my MagSafe stand keeps the phone facing me. I guess I will have to set up a sleep focus mode and remember to turn it on before I go to bed. So far not convinced, but I decided to give it a go.

Please tell me that notifications (iMessage, WhatsApp or any other sorts) pop out from the Dynamic Island just like the phone call banner and it does not appear below the Island?

 

[NARadyk]

All being well (🤞), I should only have 2 hours and 20 minutes left to wait at max.

Nearly there.

Which model? Still no delivery date for my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Nope. Normal notifications are not part of the 'island'

Anyone using ESR screen protector? How’s the fit

 

[alFR]

Look at my iPhone 14 Pro it’s so Vs iPhone 13 Pro.

13 looks yellower on my monitor, but screen brightness is totally different on the two so it's hard to tell.

You do realise you can turn AOD off right ?

You can automate any Focus to come on/off at certain times - no need to remember to turn it on yourself.

Isn't only for apps that support the feature i.e. not all apps will at the moment.

Whaaat!!! NOOO! I hope some sort of support or update comes otherwise that's just pointless. Waste of UI space.

as good as always!

 

[Major774]

Anybody successfully transferred EE e-SIM from the old phone to 14 yet? Any issues?

It only took me a few mins, very easy.

My 14 Pro Max Space Black 512GB has just arrived, and while I am working from home today I'm too busy to open the box 🥺

14 Pro Max 128GB Space Black

Eh, seems to me it's more a quasi-multitasking interface than notification delivery UI. Personally not bothered

Trying to do at the moment but the route I have taken requires me to update my old device to iOS16 which I hadn’t done. So now waiting while my old phone downloads 16 currently says 5 hours remaining
should have done during the night!
