I've had the pitaka case in the past and agree that it's great but....a fingerprint magnet! Drove me nuts!
I was thinking about going caseless when I get my PM but I think I’ll get something ultra thin like a clear soft peel, was thinking about skins too but I wouldn’t want to cover up the colour of the phone itself. I felt that it feels good in the hand too mainly because they say the actual width of the screen is slightly less than the previous PM’s so happy days for me

Let me know what you decide on. Last year I got the Caudabe vail which was always great but last years was so slippy and had no grip. I’ve emailed them about this. In the meantime I’ve ordered their sheath which is always great.

Excellent, I found a torres one I might try also. Do you ever bother with privacy screen protectors as it’s such a large screen?

Honest opinions from non YouTubers/influencers wanted, is the upgrade from 13PM to 14PM worth it?

Honestly? I’m torn. The camera is a fantastic upgrade, dynamic island I feel is more intrusive and annoying than the notch. Now that may partially be due to me downsizing so maybe it feels bigger on the smaller screen?

Battery life is terrible and using my usual chargers I’ve noticed the phone saying it’s slowing down due to it getting hot. Never had that before but maybe because it’s new and still indexing?

I think overall, no it’s not a great upgrade and I’m a yearly upgrader! It certainly feels like apple is running out of ideas
 
Friday night I charged my 14PM to 100% then when I woke up Saturday morning it had 99% and in the evening 65%. I then charged it Saturday night and by this morning it only has 93% 😮 Not used at all between charging and checking the percentage this morning

I always think it needs a few days to stabilise, index everything and stuff.
 
I've already noticed a big jump up with the camera too especially with the 48MP shots turned on, I can't wait to put it through its paces.

Honestly The Verge's review is so bad - on nearly every point it is so off to the point where in my opinion it's a deliberate hatchet job.
Sadly I will never know what the verge's review says, as it's impossible to find it on their new "site". And I definitely wont be reading the see of headache inducing purple comments. /s

(I have actually read it btw, and I agree it was a poor effort this year. MKB's video one is decent though
 
Is anyone going to use a smart drop kiosk today. I wonder if the payment system will be working today.
 
Disappointed with battery life on my first full day with the 14PM. 41% left with just over 3 hours screen on.

People seem to see this happening every year: give it a couple of days and see what you think then. There’s a lot of background stuff going on in the first couple of days (downloading data from iCloud, indexing etc.) that can affect the battery. Techcrunch’s review of the 14 / Pro comments on it and says that’s why they won’t comment on the battery life in detail as they’ve not had the phone long enough.

Being 100% honest from usage so far it’s not blown me away like I thought it would. Maybe once I take some pictures my mind may change but from using it all day yesterday I can’t say I noticed much difference to my 13PM.
