      I can't seem to find out from anywhere whether the display is an 8bit or a 10bit panel.

        14 Pro Max AOD uses 4% in 7 hours with the whole screen on, so how it’s a joke?

              Super Android 22, 25 Sep 2022I find it funny when everything is compared to Samsung, the... moreThe removal of sim card slot is a bad thing, I agree. Especially if Android manufacturers will follow this trend. Maybe it makes room inside the phone for some other things, but is not ok to remove it completely.

              iPhones always had smaller batteries. But in recent time (and especially Pro Max models) have great battery life. Also, the Pro models are heavier because they use more premium materials (like stainless steel for example). I played with the 14 Pro models in istyle shop, and I can tell you they are the most premium phones right now (at least they feel that way in the hand).

              The dynamic island is inferior, I agree with that part. In my opinion it looks even worse than the notch. Doesn't matter what software tweak Apple did to make it more appealing. Design wise is bad.

              The charging speed has always been slower in iPhones. No matter the model and no matter the charger used. Because Apple tends to slow down dramatically the charging speed after 85%. The good part is that 90% of the battery of an iPhone Pro Max model can easily get you through a day (even with more heavy usage). And from 20-90% an iPhone takes about 60 minutes to charge. Is not super fast, but is not very bad either.

                      Kev, 25 Sep 2022Not only this, Apple really covered itself in the hardware ... moreI find it funny when everything is compared to Samsung, they are the most overhyped, media arse kissing android company there is that are mostly a fashion trend.

                      The galaxy phones have average cameras but good software support and battery (even though we know they just cheat benchmarks to post high scores then perform worse than other flagships in real world, pixel series being the prime example of this desception) which is why they have good battery, specially ultra model.

                      My old Huawei P40 pro from March 2020 has same size main sensor and bigger ultra wide than this and Samsung, plus had an auto focusing selfie cam and 5x periscope telephoto with OIS and AF (P40 pro+ had an extra telephoto too) ... ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD NOW

                      A lot of overhyping features on the new iPhone line, features coming to every android and iPhone anyway like emergency SoS next year (Huawei have it on the mate 50 and iPhones use qualcomms modem used in android phones) and pixel binned sensors which has been a thing for years now.

                      -- The removal of sim card slot is very worrying especially if android follow suite (not every provider use or have esim capabilities, usually only the biggest providers who generally rip you off or push to sell iPhones and galaxy phones do and I don't think every country even has a carrier thay can).

                      -- Why such a small battery aswell, heavy phone with a tiny battery? Android companies can fit 2 smaller cells in to achieve better battery health if that's an issue or to accommodate faster charging while using using better materials for the battery, it can be done. (apple has enough money to research the right tech)

                      -- Also why no 10 bit panel yet (still 60hz on base models too... Really?), can keep saying about natural tones like Samsung do but you're not beating a 10 bit or 12 bit panel (xiaomi 12/12s) for true natural tones.

                      -- I like how GSM like to pick and choose how to promote apples SoC performance. I mean benchmarks don't prove real world anyway so most of its theoretical and they'll praise its geek bench score but hide the antutu scores haha. The fact xiaomi beat it in the Manhattan too is funny but GSM still spout "best SoC on the market". Having a bigger die and more transistors than desktop CPU's I'd expect it to be hitting twice the real world performance of any android phone but they don't, simple as. (unless you hardcore game at QHD 120hz+ i doubt any chip since SD865 will give you anymore real world performance benefits including the a16, all too powerful for what a phones needs at this point)

                      -- The cutout island is terrible, there's a reason no android OEM has done it in what, 5/6 years now (companies now will because they know its a feature that'll sell phones now, urgh!). Also finally AoD, only about 7 years late to the party and still the worst iteration of AoD vs flagships.

                      --The charging speeds are still beyond awful, specially when battery degradation on iPhones is probably the worst in the business, its a joke really. I don't know any iPhone user with good battery after a year of use and literal tech enthusiasts saying their iPhones battery is noticeably worse after a year is pretty poor including iPhone 13 Pro max, apple are known to throttle performance to help maintain "decent" battery life in IOS updates too.

                      Sorry but I think apple is pulling the wool over most iPhone users this year (which is an task at this point) and it doesn't help when GSM are again pandering to the big 3 still (iPhones, galaxies and pixels). IPhone is better than galaxy and pixel lines but having a device that "works" shouldn't be tech defining like it is in the phone industry (my phone always works perfectly, only time it doesn't is when using Google made apps like YouTube, Gboard or play store which should explain the state of the pixel 6 line).

                      I was really looking forward to this year's iPhones aswell but just all fluff from apple and media outlets (and yourself drooling over nothing). Maybe iPhone 15 will be the one when all their phones get 120hz and a telephoto cam and finally swapping to Type C port (all their other products do, oh wait sorry they've kept lightning port so you waste more money on cables and dongles like why they removed headphone jack and removed charger from the box).

                        Kev, 25 Sep 2022Not only this, Apple really covered itself in the hardware ... more"Samsung has a real shopping list on its hands for the S23 Ultra. I'm excited for what they'll make if they want to match the iPhone."

                        According to iceuniverse tweet today, it will be very boring and small upgrade.

                            Anonymous, 25 Sep 2022Apple doing what Apple does, are they overpriced? Yes, but ... moreNot only this, Apple really covered itself in the hardware department. A larger main camera sensor than Samsung, a brighter display, and the usual Apple software mean an unparalleled experience.

                            Samsung has a real shopping list on its hands for the S23 Ultra. I'm excited for what they'll make if they want to match the iPhone.

                            In a weird, way, I'm reminded of when Huawei tore ahead of everyone in the camera department. If history repeats itself, Apple's gonna start making everyone start making much better phones now.

                            Bravo, Bravo. It's a good day for everyone when the standard Pro iPhone beats Samsung's Ultra phone in everything apart from pure zoom, size, and battery. And the Pro Max will address all of these shortcomings apart from the zoom. But then again, the 5x periscope for future iPhones are right around the corner.

                                Camera is really bad. Not flagship level at all. Even the blue daylight sky is noisy mess.

                                  -Trix-, 24 Sep 2022It has very good battery life for such a small phone. Even ... moreGoing from the 13 Pro to the 14 Pro I have to say that one week in the battery life not to be quite up with the 13 Pro. I’m hoping that’s just down to some fine tuning needed of iOS 16, time will tell.

                                  That said, the results of this video speak for themselves, impressive stuff.

If you want to see real performance just look this genshin impact test video https://youtu.be/NKQw_OhRaFU 14 Pro Max is current genshin champion.

                                      "Oh wait iphone is not champs in antutu so showing that score will make iphone look inferior, lol"

                                      Yeah it's hidden because of guys like you, LOL

                                        The photo performance is dead-on average, especially if you watch it through photo comparison tool. It's on par with s22 ultra (which by itself isn't an impressive performer) and FAR behind 12s Ultra and Mi11 Ultra.
