I upgraded from my 12 Mini to the 14 Pro in mid December, I’ve heard and read of numerous bugs that these new iPhones have including reduced battery life compared to the previous generation. I haven’t experienced the big bugs that are talked about and most of the smaller ones I probably wouldn’t even notice, what I do notice is the best battery life I’ve ever experienced on a phone. I’m averaging 2 and a half days between charges which I do when I reach about 20 percent, I will admit I’m a very light user. I have several devices with much larger screens that I have access to most of the time, nevertheless this is still incredible battery life in a relatively compact package

Im getting mine june 14th, upgrading from an iphone 8 🎉🎉🎉

[prfctlymprfctbeauty]

I just ordered this. Coming from my first iPhone, the 11, I’m excited to see what’s different. I’ve always been an avid Samsung owner, but worked for apple so decided to switch and it’s been good this far. Can’t wait to play with it.

Finally someone mentioned the over-processed photo issue. I thought I was the only one!

[ytvanessa]

just bought myself the 14 pro it seems right around the time you uploaded this video 😄 I like trying to wait a while between upgrades so that I can feel like the big price tags are worth it. upgraded from the XR so there's a significant difference.

[mikeylejan]

I upgraded from a used XS Max to a brand new 14 pro max! Worth the upgrade for me.

[princenabby]

I have an iPhone 8 and a 14 Pro arriving next week. I think I'm most excited by the huge camera upgrade!

[DeathByPancake]

Upgraded from iPhone 12 Pro to iPhone 14 pro max and there’s pretty much no difference apart from size and the camera difference which isn’t overly noticeable on a day to day basis. Even the screen isn’t much of a change. People will say it is and that’s why I upgraded but after 2 months I honestly wish I could go back and perhaps wait for the 16.

iPhone 14 pro is as close as a perfect iPhone! the dynamic island is amazing and it really makes the phone feel "notch free" thanks to the ui. But also from what I have heard the only thing about iPhone 15 is that it's going to be usbc and 100 DOLLARS MORE EXPENSIVE! so I would say just get this one

[SquireSCA]

The dynamic island is a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. Taking a giant bite out of the screen is horrible, but kudos to them for at least trying to make it less of an eyesore like the notch was. The better solution is a small pinhole in the corner and give us back the screen real estate. Its very distracting when watching a movie and having part of the screen missing.

[CaesarAugustus.]

I just upgraded from the 12 Pro to the 14 Pro, and the dynamic island is by far my favorite change so far. The higher/faster refresh rate made me a lil nauseous at first, but I'm acclimating.

EDIT: you can change the setting back down to 60fps, so I did. 120fps is just too fast for me.

[subindad]

Been a Samsung user for a long time and I'm sick of the battery life. I'm open to going to the Apple route but feel like I need an apple watch, airpods, macbook, airtag, ipad, and apple headphones to get the most out of the product. And all this will cost me $6, 000 XD

[tythealkemist]

I upgraded from a non iphone to an iphone 14 pro so theres no situation when I would have chosen a 13 pro over a 14 pro so that's something your video does not account for. If you have neither I wouldn't reccomend a 13 pro over a 14 pro and I feel you would too, due to longer support life, etc.

[levonyoung]

I love my iPhone 14 pro! Much better than my iPhone 11 standard. Better display, better battery, amazing performance and so much more! If your coming from a 12 or 13 pro it probably won’t feel like that huge of an upgrade.

[karol]

My old iphone 11 feels antique compared to the iphone 14 pro🤩✅

[kennycetera]

That was extremely well done and from a lifetime Apple user, not very savvy tech person and someone who just upgraded to a brand new iPhone 14 Pro (from the iPhone ... ah, too embarrassed to say), greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Although, I'm not thrilled to hear about not being able to download apps directly! That's just bs and Apple has been losing my loyalty with this kind of proprietary service over the last few years. Not a fan of inaccessibility or being locked in on service. Apple, you need to change this!

[tommymason]

My non-pro 12 was awesome, zero issues… Verizon had a promotion to trade it 12-13 for a 14 if eligible for upgrade. I did this for the camera. I’ve noticed basically zero difference… but the camera… this is so far beyond the 12. I upgraded for this and only this and I’m not disappointed. If you don’t care about the camera… it’s essentially the same.

[ilakk]

As an iPhone 14 Pro user, I don’t regret one bit getting it. Amazing!

[KTkryst]

The always on display is useful. Previously without this function I always cant find my phone in the dark 😅
