      Sup Valis is this phone worth it end of the day when it comes to storage, and the lack of a headphone jack and home button? I don't even know how to use icloud when it, comes to the backup of cloud data it's so complicated. I just want to be able to transfer my old iphone 4S pictures onto my windows PC.

    • @valismind
      @valismind  Рік тому +1

      I don't think a headphone jack, and home button are a concern anymore if I'm being honest. I mean, the only wired headphones I own are my Sennheiser's, which plug into my DAC (for editing at my desk) but they use a 1/4. I don't personally know anyone actually that uses wired headphones. However, you can get a lightning to 3.5mm dongle for $10 USD. Though, I still don't think the 14 Pro Max is worth it at all. Not even the base 14 Pro. I don't think any phone in the 14 line up is worth it this year. Unless you NEED a phone and cannot wait to upgrade until October. But, I would personally recommend looking at the used market and find a iPhone 12, or an iPhone 13 if that's the case. You'd find a better value there. + the base iPhone 14 (non pro) is the same device almost as the iPhone 13 (except for lack of emergency SOS and crash detection) and auto focusing front facing camera.

      Hi from England 🇬🇧😊
      October 2021 I bought the Google Pixel 6 Pro, fantastic camera, but after the May update it became a very buggy phone! That put me off buying the 7 Pro last year, so I bought the 14 Pro Max! As a phone I find it reliable my battery is great, I do like the dynamic island though would like more options. However, like you I’m disappointed with the camera, it’s not as good as my Pixel 6 Pro, it’s such a shame after all the hype, I’m not saying it’s bad, the raw 48mp is great if you don’t mind the huge storage size or editing. What I’ve been doing, is downloading all the different camera apps, Pro Camera, Pro Camera 2, Reeflex Pro, Halide Mark11, I’ve got refunds on most apart from Reeflex Pro and Halide, Halide is my favourite it gives far sharper and better pics than the native 14 Pro Max camera, but hey, we shouldn’t have to do this on a £1200 phone!! Will I go for the 15 Pro Max this year, I dunno, I’m kinda in the eco system now with the new iPad Pro, Apple Watch 8, and I feel a bit sad as a 70 year old who really enjoys the new tech each year, and taking photos, that I’m not getting value for money with the 14 Pro Max if it’s camera isn’t up to scratch! I’m hoping for a camera update at some point! ❤

    I went from 8+ to 14 Pro Max, so when I see people complaining about the 14 PM I actually laugh because at the end of the day those are the people who either 1) review all phones, 2) people who upgrade often or 3) Android users. I don’t see anyone who has gone from an iPhone 12 or lower complaining after upgrading to 14 PM.

      I’m going from a regular 8 to the 14 Pro Max. This will be my first ever BIG phone. So I’m ready for that huge upgrade. Also, it is a lot heavier than the 8. I tested out the weight using my dad’s 14 Pro Max (cuz he has one). Anyways, it isn’t TOO heavy. But I can definitely feel the weight. But, it’s definitely bearable though. So yeah! I’m so excited for my 14 Pro Max. Getting it soon 😁. Oh yeah! This is my 5-6 years later upgrade. I barely upgrade my phone unless I REALLY need to, or when it starts showing it’s age. And that time is now. So, there you go

I honestly have to say it’s just a better phone. I hated the battery anxiety with my 7 pro. I don’t have that with my 14 pro max.

I've been a Samsung fanboy since 2010-ish to now...but after having nearly every flagship device in that span of time, I'm curious to see what IOS is like now. I've always heard that they run smoother, they are less buggy, and shutter lag is basically nonexistent. That's something I've never been able to escape over the years with android.

    I've switched from S22 Ultra to the 14 Pro max and as a 15year Samsung user, I can say that the iPhone is simply amazing.
    Yes, there are some downsides. There's some things you can't do on the iPhone that you could with Samsung. Downloading APK files is not an option but you can if you work hard for it.
    I have to say that Samsung hasn't really done that much either and the UI looks the same and is getting boring. Samsung devices have horrible speakers, crap batteries and are slow compared to apply I would say. Honestly.
    This is my first time using an iPhone since I had the iPhone 4 years ago and alot has changed. It's very very smooth no lag at all. The biggest thing I like is the battery life and the security. The face id is simply amazing and can even see my face in complete darkness.
    I have to say that Apple is a company doing things slowly but right. I'm happy I switched and would recommend for anyone using Samsung for a long time to switch too.

    Honestly I didn’t buy an iPhone 14 Pro because it’s boring. I didn’t buy one because I was in a need of a new phone and ended getting the 13 pro max and it has been awesome since the day I bought it. As for the iPhone 14 pro, I was actually waiting for it so I could upgrade from my previous iPhone 11 Pro.
    Quickly, saying that the iPhone in its form is the same every year while true isn’t something serious as they aren’t the only ones that do this. Samsung is also rehashing designs this time around as well.
    The dynamic island: let’s face it, people lamenting about the notch lead to this happening. So now it’s here and now people aren’t still happy. FaceID isn’t going away and putting under the screen has already shown that isn’t w good ideas as the galaxy fold has demonstrated with its lower quality front facing camera. Could that compromise the reliability of Face ID?
    I agree on the whole wonder as to why there is still no dual screen multitasking available on the iPhone. I wonder if it has to do with people mostly not using it. Either way it would’ve been a nice addition.

I had a high expectation on the camera quality .... sure ..the video is nice .. but if I were to compare this to Pixel 7 Pro ?? not even a contest .. the video quality is quite comparable and its like iPhone's video recording is just around 20% BETTER , which is "Smoother recording and panning" and Natural looking color with great Dynamic Range .... but that's about it.. which I am absolutely okay with Pixel 7's Video Quality ... but the PICTURE QUALITY Tho ?? Pixel's output is way reliable with POWERFUL Edit Tools Post-Capturing.. not to mention the Zoom Lens .. man
    Bionic A16 is more Powerful .. but what good does it gives to me if it felt so limited? Tensor G2 felt smooth aswell!! enough ranting , but my personal preference? Pixel 7 Pro is the way to go

      12s were just sh‌‌‌‌i‌‌‌‌‌‌t tier lineup as whole, all of them, i had 12 Pro Max for around a year and the battery life, 6.7 60hz screen, lack of fingerprint scanner, lack of good optical zoom, lack of macro and overheating were just laughable for being 1000$ flagship were you could get all of that fixed along with headphone jack and IR Blaster on a 300$ poco x3 pro.

    The dynamic island is way too intrusive, there was no problem with the notch. It takes the same amount of touching the screen on iphones without the island, as it does with it to do whatever you're trying to do. The pro's are too heavy as well. The 14 Plus seems like the best shout to me personally.

Ios is just so limiting and boring and I find myself so enthralled and shocked when I think to myself all the time: "hey this $1100 iphone can't do this or cant do that from a $130 phone LOL"

    Took your advice Valis. Got the z fold 4 and iPhone 13 pro max as back up but deciding between these two. And while the iPhone is still the iPhone. You know. Very smooth operating system, high optimization and amazing battery life. I've genuinely been picking up the z fold 4 more often. It's a pretty sweet device lol. The front screen is nice because you can easily one hand it on the go. Which is AMAZING. But whenever you want you can flip open the large display and get a screen size that's bigger than basically any smartphone. Also I'm very surprised it operates extemely smooth. I don't see lag or frame rate drops. At all. Been using it for a couple of weeks now. Everything runs very cool and fast. Probably one of the more responsible androids I've used along side pixel 7 pro. Now I have about 2 weeks to decide if I keep the fold or default back to the familiar iPhone 13 pro max
    Only thing I'm sort of concerned about is the 13 pro is built to last. There seems to be a touch more hardware failure with the fold. For obvious reasons. It's a folding sheet of glass

    I think these types of reviews are very important. Although I think that some of the things are just being said, so the video can get to 10 minutes. Very, very honestly. I think the iPhone 14 Pro Max is definitely the best iPhone that has ever come out until today, because of a lot of reasons and new features. Obviously, if you have the type of money and the interest to switch phones every single year, then you're most likely not going to notice every single improvement. But if you switch from the 11 Pro for example, or from an XS Max, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is miles away from the iPhone 13 Pro Max. If we're talking about the price, that might be a little different. It might be worth buying the 13 Pro Max from some other retailers, for a cheaper price and to still get a good phone, or to just spend a little bit more money and buy straight off the 14 Pro Max.
    Yeah, that is my opinion on that

    • @valismind
      @valismind  Рік тому +1

      I will add though, that the video being 10 minutes actually has no impact on anything. If anything, a shorter video increases watch time % analytic, which is the most favorable when it comes to UA-cam recommending and showing content to other people. The whole "video over 10 minute thing" used to be a thing back in 2016 when it allowed you to manually place more than 1 mid-roll advert to make more money, but I don't do that, I let UA-cam auto-fill. So honestly I could have just removed the fluff and the video would have been more beneficial, but I still felt like there's things I wanted to share because they did/ have been upsetting me with this device.

I've been on the Pixel 7 for a good while and it'll fix it's issues then the issues return after the next patch, it's irritating. Glad my iphone is coming in tomorrow. As far as how the iPhones look? Dude I hope they never change that look. It's the smartest design for both hardware and for heat dissipation. Not to mention the flat sides makes it so much easier to hold as opposed to rounded which is probably why even the Samsung s23 ultra went to a more flat sides and even included a more flat sides on the Flip4 and Fold 4. The only design change I think apple should do is stop making one part glossy and the one part matte and just go full matte, everybody hates that the glossy parts are fingerprint magnets.
