Had this 14 Pro Max, 256GB Space Black, for a few days now, coming from a Pixel 6 Pro I have to say I am fukking impressed. The Dynamic Island is next level. Smooth operations, easy to use, display is the nicest I've seen. No BT turning off randomly or notifications going silent by themself, also no missing calls. Not really concerned about the camera, I have a Canon mirrorless with an assortment of lenses, however it could definitely hold its own in quality and controls. Google had the Pixel camera locked down for controls and when I pixel peeped in Photoshop, it wasn't impressive. Learning how to use iCloud, not bad at all. Certain apps I had on the Pixel are not in the Apple App store, I have found similar or used the browser based versions.

My only gripe is fukking iTunes, doesn't support Hi-Res FLAC format, have to convert to Apple lossless. At 1st iTunes gave me an error that it couldn't read the data from my phone, had to restore it to factory, then download the backup of it from iCloud (pretty slick it keeps all the changes, layout, apps, data, etc.). Finally got iTunes working properly. I am soooo used to Android/Windows drag and drop, however Apple has a solid product. Nice to have iMessage, Google put out its version RCS, however implementation has been here and there with their OS being open source. Transferring WhatsApp data from Android to Apple is a pain in the ass, didn't retain the message structure or images/video within the messages.

Moving from Spectrum/Verizon to AT&T has been the best decision I've done for mobile wireless in awhile. Service working great everywhere.

Anyone who has the 14 Pro or Pro Max, how are you liking it so far? I planning on finally switching after years of procrastinating from the 7 to either the 14 Pro or Pro Max, I like to hear how y'all feeling.
