This is an interesting comparison:

iPhone 13 Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro Buyer's Guide: Should You Upgrade?

The iPhone 14 Pro is among Apple's latest iPhone models and follows 2021's iPhone 13 Pro, but how different are the two successive high-end...

Final Thoughts
Overall, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ is a fairly significant upgrade over the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌, introducing meaningful features like the Dynamic Island

Not convinced that this is a 'meaningful feature' and ironically, actually takes up more space than the notch!

and the always-on display that provide new ways to interact with the device.

Implementation of this looks terrible from what I have seen so far - glad my device does NOT have this.

The ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ also brings major advancements to photography and videography in almost all areas, increasing the main camera's megapixel count for the first time since the ‌iPhone‌ 6S

48 megapixel vs 12 in every day photos is negligible in terms of differences.

and introducing a new quad-pixel sensor, improving Cinematic mode and introducing Action mode, adding autofocus to the front-facing camera, enhancing low-light performance across the whole device with Photonic engine, and more.

Wouldn't use either of these - I don't take video on my phone.

That is not to mention Emergency SOS via satellite,

Not available in the UK and would never be in a situation to use this.

new color options,

Makes no difference as 99% of people slap a case on less than 5 minutes after unboxing.

an additional hour battery life,

A whole 1 hour extra - WOW!!!!!

and the A16 Bionic chip – Apple's first chip made with a 4nm fabrication process.

A15 vs A16 - negligible day to day differences.


Glad I stuck to my 13 Pro.

Dynamic island is quite cool, the camera thing is a farce as 98% of people will never know they have to turn on Raw to use it.

and when they do it won't be any different as it's pixel binned. The ones who care (and will do post production) will have it on.

me, I'll just take pictures of my food

Your purchases over the past month surely must have amounted to at least £2000+.......?!!

Over the last 2 months I’ve spent over 3.5k on products.

you can just turn it off too.

as with all new tech and features, it will improve over time. We all love jumping on the bandwagon here.. and that is why 99% of us are on this forum, we'll upgrade in most cases regardless of change.

but its good you're happy with your decision Dino.. erm.. AppleFanToo 🤣

....off topic but iOS 16 is a bit of mess, I do agree (can't comment on your last sentence as that also has nothing to do with anything + I have no idea who that is).

Did you get a custom engraving? that would make sense if you did.

Who said Dino was a person??

Seem to know an awful lot about them….

But yes iOS 16 is a train wreck

Anyone managed to see any PM stock near Leeds? Can't find anything over the past 5 days or so.

I got a Memoji on my charging case so you’re right.

That'll explain it!

Been eagerly refreshing the Apple Store site every 20 minutes or so for the last 5 days hoping a black or silver PM 128gb or 256gb pops up in Belfast to no avail, it's getting rough out here I can't lie.

Any chance of a midweek bump in stock or am I wasting my time haha?

Nothing - got mine from Leicester as Leeds/Sheffield/Manchester only had Pro or 1TB Pro Max.

you know it will be sods law the moment you stop, they'll appear!


dear Apple: this is your only chance to try convert me into buying a MAX... do what is right here!

 

[Sal09]

Leeds got plenty PM both in 126 and 256 GB

I tried a Max when I went to pick my AirPods up... confirmed to me why I downsized 😂 The dynamic island was definitely a two handed job

Right now they're tempting me to go for the non-max since they're pretty easy to get your hands on in comparison to their big brother

They seem to have plenty of 1TB Gold Maxes popping up all over the UK, but I'm not the biggest fan of the Gold and don't have the need (or the money) for 1TB of storage.

yup, reachability is a big factor!


but in the 10 days of pro ownership, I'm not sure I've pressed on the dynamic island once yet!?
