Most people don't seem to have problems with the battery life: https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone14Pro/comments/121qr80/battery_life_on_the_14_pro/ If there was a widespread battery problem with the 14 Pro, you'd be seeing a lot more complaints on posts like that.

That said, there can sometimes be general battery issues:

• Social media and music apps can be battery-sucking vampires. If you see poor battery life, check to see which apps are eating your battery (you should have had your iPhone at least a day before checking).

• Indexing. Not only does your iPhone try to find individuals in your photos, but they're also sorted into categories like animals, food, vehicles, art, music, and others. Your email and text messages are also indexed. Depending upon how much stuff you have, this can take anywhere from moments to a couple days or more, and this indexing will eat your battery while it's ongoing. Your iPhone will be a bit warm while this happens but it shouldn't get hot. Your battery life should return to normal after this.

  This indexing happens at each major iOS upgrade (e.g., 15->16), but it can also sometimes happens during an intermediate X.Y upgrade. (It basically happens whenever Apple thinks it needs to happen.)

• Bugs. Bugs happen. For example when I upgraded from 16.2 to 16.3 (or one of the earlier point releases -- I forget which), my iPhone got hot pretty quickly after the upgrade, even though I wasn't doing anything with it (iPhones can normally get hot when playing games, for example). I did a soft reboot, and everything's been fine since.

While that's true, I never suggested that. You're responding to the wrong person.

No, not really.

However, you can get a USB C or combo USB A/C charger for the cigarette outlet.

True, but that's pretty user-hostile. A reboot would be the attempt after killing and restarting the app didn't work.

I would replace the battery right after you buy it. Otherwise, if you can't otherwise replace the battery, I'd pass on buying it.

If they're really all read, it's a bug. One thing that often works is to just kill the app.

You probably can't.

One of the questionable features of the AOD is that it will turn off "at your usual bedtime" (whatever that is). From the fine iPhone manual: https://i.imgur.com/BPiX59r.jpg

If you have purchased books from iTunes, there isn't one. Only the Apple app can access them.

The dynamic island isn't really different than the notch, and it's arguably worse because it intrudes further down into the display (resulting in a smaller display area for videos). As I've said before:

> IMO, the dynamic island is an incredibly fantastic sleight-of-hand way to distract attention away from the fact that the display has a huge hole in it. So, instead of people screaming about the ugly notch or hole, we have people simply talking about the dynamic island.

> Seriously, this is a brilliant move by Apple, and I’m in awe of what they’ve pulled off. It’s like the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Well, in all fairness, many iPhone users upgrade after 2-3 years. It’s generally not because they need to upgrade, though. Some just want the newer features, while others just seem to want a new battery (this is weird, as Apple’s prices for a replacement battery is a lot less than a new phone).

First of all, you can get a lot of information by searching this sub for "android". You're not exactly the first person to ask this question.

iPhones and androids both have their pros and cons. iPhone advantages include:

• Longevity. We hear stories of people keeping their iPhones for 5-6 years (with occasional battery replacements). We hear stories of people switching from android to iPhone because they hate having to get a new phone every 2-3 years.

• Better integration within the Apple ecosystem between iPhones, iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, Macbooks, etc..

Android advantages include customization (Apple's customization is very limited) and notifications.

Two of the biggest complaints android switchers have are notifications (even Apple users hate them) and the on-screen keyboard.

Just filter them out (although you have to use old reddit if you're using a desktop browser). It's what I do, and so r/iphone is now a cleaner place.

There are only three sets of widgets on the lock screen, currently:

• The day of the week widget. You cannot delete this widget, but you can change it to something else.

• The time. You cannot delete this widget, but you can change its looks.

• The funky set of four round widgets: chrome microphone (?), gmail (?), chrome private browsing (?), and something else. You can delete all of these or change them to something else.

Everything else on the lock screen is not a widget and cannot be deleted or changed.

You can get rid of the bottom set of widgets, but that's about it. You can't get rid of the time (only change its looks), and you can only change what's displayed above the time.

No, that's a sore point that people have. Airtag locations can only be seen by the owner, and other family members may get the "an airtag was found moving with you" annoying message (but that's true regardless of family sharing).

Other than airtags, the locations of everyone's Apple devices are seen by everyone and cannot be hidden.

No. FaceID/fingerprint data are stored in each iPhone's secure enclave and are not saved anywhere else.

Apple IDs are not meant to be shared. This is just the beginning of the problems you will have by sharing Apple IDs. Family sharing is how you manage a set of Apple IDs in a family; do not use shared Apple IDs for that.

Also, with the Home app, you don't need to use family sharing with it (although you should). You can invite non-family members to use your Home app, although you'll have to decide is this is wise.

I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that a significantly degraded battery can cause DFU boot loops. Not sure why, but maybe DFU mode temporarily shuts off charging, the battery is too degraded to power the iPhone, and the iPhone shuts down.

Photos also include videos, and videos can be surprisingly big (especially if you're using 4K prores).

Well, that was then, and this is now.

I'm not saying this is definitely the cause, but it's certainly possible that apple weather in iOS 16.2 now requires something that you previously disabled.

Of course, it could just a bug. Apple certainly has lots of those.

> Tried turning on location and background refresh

This suggests you turned off a bunch of shiat. Some of those things you turned off are probably screwing you over.

This. If there truly is no water, a short is probable. That's not good but if OP Is really really lucky, the short is in the charging cable and not the iPhone lightning port.

Well, you asked.

If you want cheaper alternatives, there are the Airpods 3rd gen or the Airpods Pro 2nd gen. The Airpods Pro 2nd gen is probably the one to get, but it's still pricey. The Airpods 3rd gen is cheaper, but often does not fit small ears, is susceptible to ear wax, and does not sound as good (call quality is still decent, though).

An 11 is decent. Just try to find one with a good battery health, or you'll end up paying for a battery replacement sooner rather than later (not a huge deal, but Apple's battery replacement price for the 11 is going up to $90 in a month).

Yeah, people will small ears often report issues with the Airpods 3rd gen.

The Airpods Pro 2nd gen are better for small ears as they now have extra-small (XS) tips for a better fit in small ears. Note that you might want to go with 3rd-party XS or S foam tips as some people report a better fit with those vs the included silicone ones (but foam tips might not last as long as silicone ones).

None are particularly cheap except for maybe the first one:

• Airpods 2nd gen. Relatively inexpensive but has the weakest sound. OK sound if you don't need much bass.

• Airpods 3rd gen. Better sound (has some bass) but is shaped differently than the 2nd gen. Some people find these uncomfortable. More susceptible to earwax blockage than the 2nd gen (search youtube for "airpod cleaning").

• Airpods Pro (2nd gen). Best sound, has noise cancellation. However, these are in-ear speakers which feel like having fingers stuck in your ear. However, you might have to get 3rd-party eartips to get the best fit (and, even then, these might not fit your ears). Much less susceptible to earwax due to recessed speaker grilles, although the outer vents can be susceptible.
