$$$ aside, would you rather get a iphone 14 plus or an iphone 12 pro max?

I am travelling soon and I wana get a bigger screen phone as a secondary phone (currently using iphone 13), and pondering about these 2.

I like the 12 pro max as it has the telephoto lens (for travel pix, good to have)
But I might some concern with the weight as it is quite heavy (228g)

So for the 14 phone plus, it is easy, it is just solely because it is lighter (203g).

Pls share your view if you have any.

seriously i was using iphone x for 5 years before i switched to iphone 14 pro max. i find the weight is acceptable. it is not too heavy for me at least. (but of course may not be for everyone).

it has 2 x optical zoom (not using telephoto lens but cropped from the main camera 48MP lens) but it is damn useful than 3x optical zoom by the telephoto lens that i hardly use.

if pro version and look like 24k gold, will be perfect.

Seriously I do not find real gold will look nice on an electronic device, but rose gold like what they have previously for 6s should be better. They can find the netter kind of rose gold colour for the pro iPhones.

Left a lot yellow color in the factory lahh

I think they do the opposite. They know that yellow is the worst selling colour so this round they come out this colour so much later Becos they know that the ppl who buy will be very little anyway.

Trade in my SE 2020 for iPhone 14 Plus 2 weeks ago. I am so pleased and happy with the battery life. It can last me 1-2 days depends on my usage.

Planning to get the iPhone 14 for my mom. Prices seems quite good during sales time.

New one is coming up. Of course the old iPhone 14 will get discount. But if the price is not more than 20% off the price. It is more worth it to get the iPhone 15 but this is assumed that price of 15 is not increased during its announcement next month.

I thought about it. I do think the i15 prices will increase and even if it doesn’t, I do prefer the discounted i14. The phone is for the elderly mostly to WhatsApp, light surfing and youtube.

I need to budget and plan a bit coz looking into my own phone upgrade. biggrin.gif
*
True also. But as it said, if the price is not 20% cheaper or more it may not be so worth it. Given that one brand new iPhone can easily use for 5 years or longer. Buying an one gen older iPhone u also lost 1 year of usage for cheaper price.

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Aug 19 2023, 11:29 AM)
Since you are getting for your mom and have a certain budget, why not consider Android phones? With the pricing of the iPhone 14, you would be able to get a top of the range one. Unless of course you strictly want iOS.
*
Exactly it is for older ppl, then iPhone is the best choice. Easier to use, lesser prob, more reliable.

Android is a no no no.

I think losing 1 year is not a significant thing to worry about. One good example is Apple still provide security update for iOS 15 on older phones that cannot upgrade to 16.
*
i was referring to the price one paid vs the usable amount of years.

iphone can use for 5 years minimum and get update for at least 6 years as of now.

so given the price is 100%, divide by 5, one year is 20%.

so if u get iphone 14 now at 80%, nothing u earn except that u pay cheaper without all the extra new features + 1 year of usage. this is why i said, unless one can get more than 20% discount of the iphone 14 price, else it is not really worth it comparing to iphone 15.

but if one just simply wants to get iphone 14 becos of budget, so to pay cheaper (initial captical cost), yes.
however, ultimately, the total cost spent will still be the same over years becos one will need to change his iphone 14 earlier later comparing to iphone 15.

Agree. I like the consistent updates of iOS. My other reasons to upgrade from the iPhone 11 is coz of 5g (only in iPhone 12 onwards) and the current phone battery drain out fast (time to change).
*
yup, with 5g capability is a plus. especially 5g access may already come with the latest phone plans or cheap to even begin with for prepaid, e.g. rm5/mo for yoodo.

But the usb-c for iPhone 15 makes it a better buy including the display as well and many more new features.

It is cheap now the price but may not worth it to opt for it due to the last iphone with lightning port which is gone for good.

I believe Lightning port can still last for the next 5 years hahaha
Hopefully, my salary can increase also so I have an excuse to exchange to newer models in future hehe

But by then the lightning accessories will be lesser and lesser.

Usb-c is still more convenient. I can just use my laptop charger to charge also while in office.

battery down to 86% on iphone 14 pro max … battery life feels so short now sad.gif

if u play mobile games on it or turn on AOD... surely it will drop till that...

those heavy users all have their 14 pro max battery capacity dropped till 89% only after 1 year of usage.

the battery capacity reduced significantly comparing to any earlier iphone models...

iphone 15 pro series will have the same issue.

usb-c opens up a lot more new capabilities of iPhone. Certainly more worth it to get the latest 15 instead of cheap out on 14.
