• I bought the caller iPhone 14 Pro Max the time aft it went connected merchantability successful Apple stores.
• I got $640 backmost by trading successful my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but I inactive had to wage different $780. 
• I was excited astir the "Dynamic Island" feature, but I should person listened to Steve Jobs' daughter.

For the past decennary oregon so, I've been 1 of Apple's champion customers. I've bought each caller iPhone since I made the power from a BlackBerry to the iPhone 4S.

This twelvemonth has been nary exception. I bought an iPhone 14 Pro Max, 256 GB, successful Silver, the time aft it was released connected September 17. I got $640 backmost by trading successful my iPhone 13 Pro Max, but I inactive had to wage $780.

After a mates of weeks of playing with my caller toy, I tin confidently accidental determination are nary large surprises to beryllium found, isolated from the "Dynamic Island". That's Apple's fancy sanction for the dormant abstraction betwixt the selfie camera and Face ID sensor present utilized for "consolidating your notifications, alerts, and activities into 1 interactive place".

My workfellow Antonio Villas-Boas tin archer you each astir the method aspects of Apple's latest products, truthful I volition ore connected what it's been similar to use.

Steve Jobs' girl was right

Ultimately, Eve Jobs, the girl of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, was close erstwhile she posted a meme connected Instagram that joked the iPhone 14 is eerily akin to the erstwhile model.

It reads: "Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 aft Apple's announcement today," portion showing a antheral holding up a garment identical to the 1 he's wearing.

While the newest bid of smartphones has respective caller bundle features, I'm disappointed that determination isn't much to it. 

I admit I was precise excited astir the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max going fullscreen – particularly present the notch has gone.

I'll besides concede that the Dynamic Island diagnostic is precise chill indeed. I similar that you tin simply property it erstwhile listening to euphony and it takes you backmost to the application. It could person been utilized much effectively, however. 

Having had the iPhone 13 Pro Max, I can't spot a quality that makes it really worthy upgrading for, isolated from Dynamic Island. Maybe the smartphone has simply got arsenic bully arsenic it's fundamentally going to get?

Nonsense

I ever find excuses to warrant splashing hundreds connected a caller smartphone: utilizing my iPhone for work, documenting reporting trips, ensuring the artillery lasts each day, and that it tin enactment each the things I've got to bash connected it. Let's telephone that precisely what it is: nonsense.

Even a now-ancient iPhone 8 (from mode backmost in, erm, 2017) could bash the job. However, there's an entreaty to having the latest mobile phone, and it's thing much than a mode to brag to your friends. 

Apple CEO Tim Cook told idiosyncratic who asked him whether Apple would follow RCS – a messaging app developed by Google for Android mobiles – truthful his ma could much easy spot the videos helium sends her that helium should bargain his ma an iPhone. 

It's not conscionable an iPhone that Cook thinks everyone should ain erstwhile determination are besides AirPods, iPads, MacBooks and the Apple Watch to bargain arsenic well. And yes, I bash ain each of those devices arsenic well, of course.

While I've ever said I don't deliberation I could alteration from an iPhone to an Android, plentifulness of radical person done truthful and someway survived. Maybe it's clip I took an iOS vacation too?
