It’s called the Retailer Flex policy, this is a shitty policy that locks the device to the carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile etc). This happens when you buy from retailers, Best Buy, Target etc

You are trying to get strangers to justify your purchases (buyer’s remorse?). It doesn’t matter for us, if it works for you then great 👍

Apple Watch can do the same thing as the SE, there are different solutions to problems.

You are using it wrong or got a defective one.

No issues here

I know right! Posts like this just clutter the subreddit because you can’t search for generic questions.

Is the 14 plus a good phone? -One of the best camera systems, CPUs, GPUs etc. What does “good” mean?

Does it have any flaws? -Define flaw? Does it burst into flames, does it have post-processing on images some people don’t like?

Is the screen the largest version or does the pro max have a larger screen? -If only their website let you compare them… https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone-14-pro-max,iphone-14-plus,iphone-14-pro

You can search for these questions instead of making an extremely low effort post.

Another battery question that could have been searched for in this subreddit with less effort than making this post.

The best way to preserve battery is just keep your phone off and charge to 60% every few months. Stop fucking worrying about it, it’s cheap to replace and likely you will trade it in before it hits less than 80%
