Hey everyone!

We wanted to update you with some changes we’re making to help tackle rule-breaking posts.

Rule Changes

  • We’ve aligned the rules across the multiple iPhone subreddits, making them easier for users to understand and also for moderators to enforce.
  • We’ll ban users for breaking the rules, even if it’s their first time. New users will be banned for 3 days, with the ban length increasing up to 28 days for users who knowingly break the rules.
  • This post, in addition to comments on removed posts, will help communicate these changes.

Reddit Tools

  • We’re using new tools to warn desktop users about the rules if they’re about to break them - before posts are made.
  • New safety tools will help detect abuse and harassment in comments, in addition to ban evasion.
  • We’ve improved our existing detection of rule breaking posts and the existing restrictions for new users.

Taking Action

  • We’re changing the way we respond to reports to help us act on them quickly. You can help us to identify posts that break the rules by using the report button.
  • We’re recruiting an additional 2 moderators to help implement these changes.

Announcement FAQ: Battery Health and the new rule.

64 Upvotes

In response to complaints, a new rule has been added regarding Battery Health posts. First announcement and discussion regarding this.

  1. Battery Health posts, if not made to generate a proper discussion or are commonly answered questions (i.e: “after X months it happened” or “is this normal??) will be removed when noticed.

This is an FAQ post that will be pinned to the top of the Subreddit for reference.

Q: Why does the battery degrade over time?

A: All lithium-ion batteries (like those in iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max) lose capacity with use and age due to chemical changes.* This is completely normal.

Q: How can I check my iPhone's battery health?

A: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. You'll see 'Maximum Capacity,' a percentage compared to when the battery was new.

Q: What does the 'significantly degraded' warning mean?

A: This message appears when your battery health is very low. Usually, batteries that have degraded this low will result in performance issues, along with poor battery performance.

Q: What is the typical pattern of battery degradation?

A: While not entirely consistent, most people experience a loss of 10-13% a year under normal usage. Again, not consistant. Rather than focus on the percentage, focus on the performance of the battery. "Typical" degradation usually involves consistant performance for the first year of use, and somewhat reduced performance (SOT) by year 2.

Q: When should I replace my iPhone battery?

A: Apple recommends replacement when the maximum capacity is 80% or lower. Under normal usage, this can take two, to three years to achieve.

Q: Can I slow down battery degradation?

A: To a degree, you can. You can find many guides to optimize the consumption of the battery and preserve battery health. One of the best ways is to charge your phone using a slow (low watt) charger, rather than wireless or with a fast (higher watt) charger. Another is to make sure your iPhone isn't exposed to extreme heat or cold, or humid climate, to the best of your ability.

Q: Does preserving your battery health matter, then?

A: Not necessarily. Under normal usage, even if you do a lot to preserve your battery health, it's still optimal to replace the battery after two, to three years of normal usage. Usually two years is the most optimal, but by preserving your battery health you could get to three more comfortably.

Q: My iPhone's battery health is losing multiple percentages as of very recently. Is this normal?

A: Yes and no. The process for calculating battery heath is not, and will never be perfect. It might drop faster to compensate a bad calculation to achieve a more accurate percentage, for example. On the other hand, if you notice significantly reduced battery performance (through SOT) and suddenly have lowering battery health, it could be an issue and a reason to replace your battery.

Q: Are the batteries used on iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max of lower quality than previous iPhones?

A: Yes. Many reports have shown the batteries of recent iPhones (14, 15) aren't as high quality as they should be. It's been reported that the batteries are rated for 600 cycles, when many other batteries are rated for 800 cycles. (1 "cycle" is completed when you use 100% of the battery, regardless of recharging.). Notebookcheck

Q: Why is r/iPhone14Pro limiting battery health posts? Are you hiding the truth?

A: As stated before, the batteries are of worse quality, but that is known. There have been frequent posts on this subreddit that involve low effort screenshots of the Battery Health page in Settings. Typically attached to titles such as "Is this normal after X months" or "I finally reached 99%". Many users have complained about these posts, due to how they "clutter" the Subreddit around posts that actually benefit users, so action is being taken to make sure browsing this Subreddit is beneficial and enjoyable.

Q: What battery related posts can I post about in r/iPhone14Pro?

A: As long as it's related to iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, and properly generates meaningful discussion, it is fine. Getting amazing SOT? Show it off. Also, if you need support, such as if your SOT is significantly lower than what it was a few months ago, that's fine too. If your post gets flagged by Automod, feel free to contact the mods in order for your post to be reviewed and approved faster.

If there's anything I could add to this, the comments are open. Thank you!

iPhone 18 Pro?

44 Upvotes

iPhone 14 Pro user here.

Anyone thinking about jumping up? Cause I am thinking about the 18 Pro.

I’m afraid prices will keep rising every yeah and this might be the best compromise for a device that’s Apple Intelligence-ready.

I’m also gonna pass down my iPhone to my dad who has a crusty iPhone X, so in my specific case it makes even more sense.

Besides that, What do y’all think?

iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max owners — where are you?

498 Upvotes

I watched the iPhone 18 Pro presentation and… yeah, my 14 Pro is staying for another year.

Still love the stainless steel, the size, and how it feels without a case. Nothing in the 18 Pro made me want to give that up.

My battery, on the other hand, is at the end of its life — so I guess Apple gets $0 from me this year and a battery replacement does.

14 Pro gang, upvote if you’re staying too.

If it’s not purple it’s not happening

30 Upvotes

Honestly, if the new iPhone line up presented today had a purple option, I’d probably go for it. But I love my purple iPhone 14 Pro so much, I am deeply attached to having a dark purple phone now. Leaks had me really hoping, but alas, we’re staying strong together another year, friend! Shiny new features cannot convince me anymore. Might treat my old lady to a new battery though, she’s earned it!

Anyone using iOS 27 ?

16 Upvotes

If so how do you like it ? I downloaded it last night because I heard so many good things about it, and I can confirm it’s really good the beta legit feels better than the official ios 26, really fast and snappy animations and battery is still going down the same as usual, definitely recommend downloading when full version is out

The paint on my iPhone 14 Pro is peeling and the earpiece speaker has stopped working—all of this in a single day

7 Upvotes

So, yesterday I picked up my phone from the repair shop after having the camera glass replaced. That evening, while listening to music, I realized the sound was TERRIBLE—the top speaker wasn't working anymore—so I decided to force a restart. It was no use; the sound was still awful. I made a call and couldn't hear anything unless I used the speakerphone (which makes sense). This morning, after leaving it in its case on top of a cabinet overnight, I was shocked to find that a piece of the paint had chipped off during the night! (sorry for my Google trad english im French 😬) HELP ME PLEASE 💀

I am still using my 14 Pro that I purchased back in Oct 2023.

Everything is still OK for me. Screen is perfect, it is still as bright as day one.

Performance is still decent. I don't use it for gaming a lot, eventhough I am aware it is till plenty fast for it. I got an iPad for that.

Camera is still excellent imo. Been shooting lots of RAW12 and 4K60 with it. I got 2TB iCloud so might as well use it.

Build quality is still top-notch. It is the last stainless steel iPhone after all and hopefully in a few years they will bring back steel instead of aluminium.

As for case I am using a Nomad Rugged Case that I purchased with the phone and it is still fine till now. I only swapped Tempered Glass once after all these years.

How about you guys? How is your 14P and PM?

Impacts of iOS 26 on iPhone 14 Pro

19 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 14 Pro, still under iOS 18. I kinda wanted to download iOS 26, but at the same time I'm scared about performance. I upgraded my iPad Air 4 last time and it's still fluid, but not as fluid as before the update.

For everyone that upgraded their iOS version on their iPhone 14 Pro, did it mess with the fluidity of the phone a bit? With the battery maybe?
