12 September 2022
Overall, the Pro models are doing better than the two non-Pro models, at least based on this early analysis.

        Just providing that small crappy back button on the top left corner and not fully implementing the back border swipe gesture on both sides in every application.

        It's extremely cumbersome and non-ergonomic to say the least, especially with the 'plus' models. NEVER going back to iPhones, however tempting they might make it, unless and until they implement a proper both direction back swipe for one hand usage.

            Kinda funny to buy BIG pro max phone which doesn't even have proper 'back' gesture:) iphones must be used with two hands. Only this fact keeps me away from iphone.

              Kiwi, 12 Sep 2022Yeah, you're right. True. Also people gave become more mature and keeping their phones a little bit longer.

                Anonymous, 13 Sep 2022What common knowledge? 😂 What kind of damage control PR is ... moreiPhone jokes about always having 5% battery or the phone dying have been around since 2010. That and always having cracked screens. Idk what is world you live in but it's a worldwide culturally accepted truth that iPhone's have ABYSMAL battery life. All models. From budget to flagship. Sorry but that's just a fact.

                  It's obvious people didn't want to pay a premium for a 60hz panel when a phone costing $799/$899 lol. Since a lot of people had tasted the 120hz from the 13 pros, more people will want that 120hz now and cannot go back to a 60hz

                    But at the end of the day the preference of OS is down to personal choice, you can for a fact do way more with an android then you can on an IOS device, thats how they are built by their very nature, but for those who don't need or want to use all the extended features that android offers you can use iPhone,
                    A reason it was so popular was its simplicity to use which is why a 5 year old or a 70 year old can operate them just as easily, both are very mature and both work exceptionally well in their own fields, and each have their own weakness as well, it is that simple, and I actually use BOTH for exactly that reason, i have 13 mini and ordered the 14 pro max, I also have S22 Ultra for best of both worlds

Its getting last year's pro camera with large sensors with sensor stabilisation , decent battery, photonic engine for better image processing , selfie camera with auto focus which is a big deal, action mode in video and of course the SoS satellite and crash detection features.

                                      So people who likes photography and selfies and video would prefer the 14 over 13 and if price is the crucial factor then 13 is a rocking phone already. Can't go wrong.

                                        1300€ for a phone with 128gb is a no.
                                        I was considering trying iphone but even the regular one is too expensive.
