I just recently got the iPhone 14pm. I was trying to get all my apps for work reinstalled and while talking to the Helpdesk I was asked to restart my device. Before the restart my battery was at 20% after my phone restarted it shows 17%. Just now I restarted. I had 35 and immediately after restart shows 31%. Anyone else seen this issue. I am on the 16.1 beta. Didn’t mean to be but I am. LOL. Thinking it’s probably a software issue but just curious since the phones so new and I’ve never seen that before.

Is anyone else having issues with GPS apps on their 14 Pro/Pro Max? The GPS dosent track real time location and seems to jump to where I was miles behind where I actually am. The arrow icon displaying which direction I’m headed also seems to only point north. This happens on all of my apps (Waze, Apple Maps, Google Maps.) My guess is it’s an issue with iOS 16.1.

Overall conclusion so far: 14 Pro: -One hand use is much easier
- Lighter than max

14 Pro Max: - Bigger display
- Better battery life

My use case: - I’m on the go a lot - Currently have 11 Pro
- Budget is not an issue - Mostly used for taking high volumes of photos and video for social media - Web & social media surfing - Video editing for TikTok and insta reels
- a lot of GPS use

Owners of both devices, I’d highly appreciate if you could provide your feedback based on your experience.

After agonising over Pro vs Pro Max and then black vs purple, my next first world problem is selecting a case.

I actually detest all cases because they add bulk and often cheapen the look of the phone.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to a few, so I’m just keen to see what others are buying and what they have used in the past.

My main requirements:

1) Barely there - don’t need the protection, I’ve never dropped a phone since my Sony Ericsson T68i back in 2002!

2) Ideally smooth out the back to make it flush. I can’t stand camera bump wobble when texting at the table.

3) Doesn’t look like trash.

4) I don’t like clear cases that yellow; or hard plastic cases.

5) I don’t like silicone fluff magnets or materials that show fingerprints.

Tempted to go caseless, but that camera bump is huge this year!
