Love to the max bro! she always like gold.. her last iphone was iP 11 Pro Max rose gold. But in my opinion, I think rose gold is nicer colour than the current gold. Anyway hapy wife, happy life 

Hi guys,

PO on 6th OCT 2022 via switch, and now getting update 'IN PROGRESS' usually how long it will take to reach switch store?

My order should eta by 4 weeks onwards...

Just walk-in Machine 1U, asking if they have ready stock for iphone 14 Pro Max, Deep Purple 128GB, turn out they do have, BUT u have to bundle up with their machine protection plan, ridiculous...

I walked in to enquire Pavilion KL branch last friday, the sales person said maybe the next 3-4 days? (seems like he doesn't know what he's talking about anyway)

Took that with a huge bag of salt lmao 

silver 512 gb, just want to see if they actually restocked silver or not

Those who bought from Switch/Machines maybe can try this way, for me it only took 1 week to get 512gb altough the eta date 4 weeks above (remember ya 4 weeks onwards mean it could be 6 weeks, 7 weeks and maybe a year to fullfill hahaha)

Try this if you use store collection:

1. Call store everyday, and ask for stock availability
2. In my case i PO 512gb, Deep Purple
3. Tried call them for few days everyday, and my luck there 1 unit available due customer not pick it up, but the color is gold.
4. Just dont want wait any longer just grab what available, just put on casing then color problem solve for me.
5. Ordered on 6th Oct and i received on 16th Oct. Only take 10 days.

Do you mean when the camera turns into macro mode during close up shot, it appears to be slightly 'grainy' or not so crystal clear/HD than when you are in normal mode with wide camera? At least that is what i noticed on my 13PM.

I'm not an iPhone user but I can comment based on my photography background.

You are not supposed to use macro mode in the sample you provide because the subject (food) is far away. Macro mode is for close up range (e.g. as close as 2 cm for iPhone 14 series). Example of macro shot: https://i0.wp.com/9to5mac.com/wp-content/up...fo&w=2000&ssl=1

Having said that, the "blurry"/out of focus area is due to iP14PM larger sensor size. The larger is the sensor size (and also lens aperture in general, but iP14PM and iP11 have same f/1.8 aperture), the more background blur you will get. Mind you this is not a software trick like portrait mode. In fact, the purpose of portrait mode is to emulate the large aperture out of focus blur like a DSLR and no software trick could recover the blurred image as well. This is an inherit effect of going for a larger sensor size.

I do not have an iPhone to test but the situation you mentioned is actually very common for large sensor and/or lens aperture. Take a look at the following diagram:



Basically, if the lens focus at the center of your subject, whatever further away from that point will gradually become out of focus. This is because the focus distance from your lens to center (red line) and the top (green line) are different. For camera with small size sensor or aperture, this behavior is not as significant because it has a larger focus zone and will only start to see out of focus part when it is very further away.

You can use this aperture simulator to understand the behaviour: http://www.andersenimages.com/tutorials/exposure-simulator/
Choose aperture priority.
Then set the aperture slider to f/1.4 (means more light goes into the sensor). Notice whatever behind the subject is blurred.

Their aperture value are roughly the same, IP14PM f/1.78 vs IP11 f/1.8
but their sensor size is really different:

If we take into account of sensor size, we can normalize their aperture value to 35-mm equivalent (full frame sensor) so that they are comparable. After a series of calculation, that would be f/6.3 for IP14PM and f/10.2 for IP11P.

Here’s the aperture scale. Each step down lets in half as much light:

f/1.4 (very large opening of your aperture blades, lets in a lot of light)
f/2.0 (lets in half as much light as f/1.4)
f/2.8 (lets in half as much light as f/2.0)
f/4.0 (etc.)
f/5.6
f/8.0
f/11.0
f/16.0

We can approximately say that the IP11P only let in a quarter of light vs IP14PM.

Unfortunately, iPhone (and most phones) has a fixed aperture. IIRC, Samsung S9, S10, and Sony Pro-i have dual aperture system. The new Huawei Mate 50 series have variable aperture (f/1.4 to f/4.0).

You can try if still getting blurry pic when you take the pic perpendicularly. By this way, the object will be in same plane of focus area rather than tilted where got difference in distance.

Hi all
just want to ask the iPhone 14 pro user, should I change my phone from 11 pro to 14 pro? Is it worth changing or should I wait for the next iPhone ?     

sounds about right - best i've experience is a drop of 2% overnight ...

Seems pretty normal to me.

I don’t want to be a party popper as I don’t share the others’ views who said it’s normal. Mind you, not saying they are wrong. My input here is based on my very own experience.

Every time, if at all my battery is charged full to 100% at night before I hit the sack, the next morning it’s still at 100%. This is so far every single time. BTW, mine is 14Pro. Don’t ask me what I do to make it such cause I just use my phone as normal. Why yours differs from mine, I don’t have an answer. Perhaps others can share their own experience. I do not have AOD on and averagely it’s about 7 hours of ‘downtime’.

Just turn off your connection to wifi, 4g and AOD .....i stop charging my phone at 10pm and next morning i walk up still get 100% until i enter office and start using the phone surf lazada, shoppee, fb and some youtube until 8am i get like 95%...i did that most of the time coz i don need them as i have my pad at home and i don take call or message when im sleeping

i find that 13 pro to 14 max not much difference. except $$$
