PSA: The proper way to delete or shrink iPhone System Data use on disk

I use Halide for my 14PM shots - 48MP & ProRAW. Better results than the stock camera app.

ProCamera is nice

What if you turn Auto-Join off for the hotspot under the WiFi settings for it on those devices?

Yes -

Worked so well that I bought the same for my Mini 6.

I use the Spigen on my 14PM and it's great. Incredibly easy to install, too.

Defender Series (in Blue Suede Shoes color) as I wanted the full protection with the face cover -

Dark Blue durable iPhone 14 Pro Max Case | OtterBox

The size doesn't bother me in the least. I used a Commuter on my 12 Pro Max.

Love mine. I use an Otterbox case and screen protector because I like to use it in the wilderness (GPS & maps). Best phone I've ever owned (new camera capabilities are great).

Same here, use it for multiple devices while traveling.

Deep Purple. Like the color and I had the band's albums on 8-track tape.

I did and love the 14PM. Via T-Mobile upgrade plan.

I went from the 12PM to the 14PM because of the camera changes and have no regrets - 48MP RAW is great.

You could use separate apps attached to different accounts; e.g., on my iPad, I have the stock app and AltaMail.

Went from the 12PM to the Dark Purple 14PM myself and haven't looked back. The 14 is great.

+1 on Anker chargers. I currently use them with my 14PM, M1 12.9, & Mini 6 and used them with previous devices.

14PM on T-Mobile here - zero issues.

I went from the 12PM to the 14PM and am not having any s/w issues with it. I'm really happy with the upgrade.
