With Always on Display on this phone gets slightly better battery life to the iPhone 12 Pro. I took it off the charger at 7:00am and it’s now about 5:00pm and I’m down to 33%. My iPhone 12 Pro would be about 20% turning red. For me this isn’t a full day phone on days I work my usual day 10 hours. It’s going to require a top up late in the day. Next work day I’ll turn AoD off and see what I get.

I can’t stand the Pro Max. I don’t dislike big phones having an S22 Ultra but I prefer to have one phone be medium to normal sized.

I’m probably just keeping this. It was too much work to switch over and I already ordered screen protectors and a few cases. I shouldn’t have got the 1TB model.

For all of you experiencing battery drain from the AOD, can't you just use a black background for the lockscreen? Wouldn't that help with battery drain?

So weird how little advertising there has been for the Plus model. I wonder if "everyday" non-Apple enthusiasts even know that there is a Plus model coming out? Almost like Apple has abandoned it before it's launch. Strange.

I'm at 16% battery left with 4.61 hours of screen on time and the Home & Lockscreen used 14% of my battery. I'm guessing that's AoD.

They already know what's going to sell and what's not. Most people that want a big iPhone are buying a Pro Max even if it is hundreds more especially this year with the notch difference. Add in they of course make more money off Pros than the regulars and you aren't going see many Plus commercials

Just like with them adding green to the 13s, they added a green 13 too but mostly advertised the alpine green pro

It dims the screen enough to where I don't think it'll make that much a difference

The trick is if you lay the phone face down AOD turns off after about 10 secs. AOD is just too useful with the updated connectivity in the pros to turn off, getting the weather at that second without having to do anything is too valuable to me. If I don't want it on I'll just flip it face down

Check this out:

This is from the 12 Pro Max in early September



This is from the 14 Pro Max last week



14 is noticeably better:leon:

My boss has a 12 Pro Max and was commenting the other day about how much nicer the pictures looked from my Pro Max 13

Under the proposed rules, all phones and tablets sold in Europe will have to comply by the fall of 2024. Laptops will have longer to make the switch. The commission will also be able to set standards for wireless charging in the future.

so it looks like we might get lighting for one more year if apple wants to be stubborn as hell
