I usually get the privacy tempered glass from Taobao for my past iPhones. This round I'll be getting from Zuslab and give it a try.

For a user that using iPhone 8 Plus 64GB.

iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB
or
iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB

Is better?
*
I went with 128gb since I didn't fully utilize my 64gb. Most of my music/videos are streamed based.

Haha yes I'm not sure if I can take purple as well, waiting to see more reviews soon... Next best choice for me would be black too..

I took the plunge and opted for purple. Worst case just get a black case and cover the color.

true that, slap a casing on and you won't see most of it lol

just that I got the tendency to go transparent for a few months before getting apples case biggrin.gif
*
Yea, I'm going for a transparent case for now until I can find available stock for the Spigen Liquid Air case. Not really a fan of transparent cases but gonna flex the fresh new phone while the hype is still there.

yeap thats what I did since iphone x tongue.gif been using spigen ultra hybrid for the extra durability... liquid air is nice but a tad too thin for my peace..
*
You're right. When I changed from Mous case to Liquid Air, it feels so much lighter and have to grip harder.

oh i love mous too, but yea a little bulky for me, love the wood ones... but didnt last long, only used it for a month then switch to apple's leather case..
*
Trust me, you're basically holding a smaller version of brick if it's Mous. I used both Walnut and CF, the CF texture doesn't last long as compared to the Walnut.

How long can the leather case last? I'm curious to try it but the price always puts me off.

ikr haha, its nice but too heavy and bulky tbh...but comes with the protection of course..

the leather case is more like a hit or miss, you either get one that patina's well, or it wears really bad like a bad quality case...i got one for the 12 PM and it wears so bad that I can't even use it anymore.. the one for 13 PM patina well and im using it every now and then, switch between my spigen..smile.gif
*
Hmm ok, I'm looking at the AU folks and most of them went for the leather case which got me curious. I'll probably hold on until someone do a review of the case whether it's good or bad.

I just wondering whether the AOD feature can be off?

It will be automatically turned off if you are wearing AW and walked away from the phone.

I initially wanted the Pro then I saw the price difference is just A$100 for PM so might as well get PM.

Yes. Regardless of how good is the battery life, a battery is still a wear & tear item. Plus, Everyone's usage on a phone is vary

For those interested to experiment with battery consumption using AOD enabled, try this method if it works.

Cool, didn't manage to test it since I disabled AOD from Day 1. Prefer to read notifications through my AW.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like it's more trusted than pre-order at local stores. I asked a few stores, must pre-order and tentatively will receive it end of OCt or early NOV.
*
Just go with the apple store. I did my pre-order through local stores in AU and they could not commit to the delivery time, so I just reserved my unit from apple store and pick-up on the same day.

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea that iPhone 13 Pro series did not have foreground blur in Portrait Mode, and only now 14 Pro series has it? 🤯

indeed not much difference, thats why I'm trying to use the AOD to make it feel more tongue.gif the new notch is pretty to the eyes though (after 5 years of looking at the same notch), it does feels different..

The animation just feels delightful when it animates based on our interaction (especially the EQ).
