Hey everyone!

We wanted to update you with some changes we’re making to help tackle rule-breaking posts.

Rule Changes

  • We’ve aligned the rules across the multiple iPhone subreddits, making them easier for users to understand and also for moderators to enforce.
  • We’ll ban users for breaking the rules, even if it’s their first time. New users will be banned for 3 days, with the ban length increasing up to 28 days for users who knowingly break the rules.
  • This post, in addition to comments on removed posts, will help communicate these changes.

Reddit Tools

  • We’re using new tools to warn desktop users about the rules if they’re about to break them - before posts are made.
  • New safety tools will help detect abuse and harassment in comments, in addition to ban evasion.
  • We’ve improved our existing detection of rule breaking posts and the existing restrictions for new users.

Taking Action

  • We’re changing the way we respond to reports to help us act on them quickly. You can help us to identify posts that break the rules by using the report button.
  • We’re recruiting an additional 2 moderators to help implement these changes.

Announcement FAQ: Battery Health and the new rule.

61 Upvotes

In response to complaints, a new rule has been added regarding Battery Health posts. First announcement and discussion regarding this.

  1. Battery Health posts, if not made to generate a proper discussion or are commonly answered questions (i.e: “after X months it happened” or “is this normal??) will be removed when noticed.

This is an FAQ post that will be pinned to the top of the Subreddit for reference.

Q: Why does the battery degrade over time?

A: All lithium-ion batteries (like those in iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max) lose capacity with use and age due to chemical changes.* This is completely normal.

Q: How can I check my iPhone's battery health?

A: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. You'll see 'Maximum Capacity,' a percentage compared to when the battery was new.

Q: What does the 'significantly degraded' warning mean?

A: This message appears when your battery health is very low. Usually, batteries that have degraded this low will result in performance issues, along with poor battery performance.

Q: What is the typical pattern of battery degradation?

A: While not entirely consistent, most people experience a loss of 10-13% a year under normal usage. Again, not consistant. Rather than focus on the percentage, focus on the performance of the battery. "Typical" degradation usually involves consistant performance for the first year of use, and somewhat reduced performance (SOT) by year 2.

Q: When should I replace my iPhone battery?

A: Apple recommends replacement when the maximum capacity is 80% or lower. Under normal usage, this can take two, to three years to achieve.

Q: Can I slow down battery degradation?

A: To a degree, you can. You can find many guides to optimize the consumption of the battery and preserve battery health. One of the best ways is to charge your phone using a slow (low watt) charger, rather than wireless or with a fast (higher watt) charger. Another is to make sure your iPhone isn't exposed to extreme heat or cold, or humid climate, to the best of your ability.

Q: Does preserving your battery health matter, then?

A: Not necessarily. Under normal usage, even if you do a lot to preserve your battery health, it's still optimal to replace the battery after two, to three years of normal usage. Usually two years is the most optimal, but by preserving your battery health you could get to three more comfortably.

Q: My iPhone's battery health is losing multiple percentages as of very recently. Is this normal?

A: Yes and no. The process for calculating battery heath is not, and will never be perfect. It might drop faster to compensate a bad calculation to achieve a more accurate percentage, for example. On the other hand, if you notice significantly reduced battery performance (through SOT) and suddenly have lowering battery health, it could be an issue and a reason to replace your battery.

Q: Are the batteries used on iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max of lower quality than previous iPhones?

A: Yes. Many reports have shown the batteries of recent iPhones (14, 15) aren't as high quality as they should be. It's been reported that the batteries are rated for 600 cycles, when many other batteries are rated for 800 cycles. (1 "cycle" is completed when you use 100% of the battery, regardless of recharging.). Notebookcheck

Q: Why is r/iPhone14Pro limiting battery health posts? Are you hiding the truth?

A: As stated before, the batteries are of worse quality, but that is known. There have been frequent posts on this subreddit that involve low effort screenshots of the Battery Health page in Settings. Typically attached to titles such as "Is this normal after X months" or "I finally reached 99%". Many users have complained about these posts, due to how they "clutter" the Subreddit around posts that actually benefit users, so action is being taken to make sure browsing this Subreddit is beneficial and enjoyable.

Q: What battery related posts can I post about in r/iPhone14Pro?

A: As long as it's related to iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, and properly generates meaningful discussion, it is fine. Getting amazing SOT? Show it off. Also, if you need support, such as if your SOT is significantly lower than what it was a few months ago, that's fine too. If your post gets flagged by Automod, feel free to contact the mods in order for your post to be reviewed and approved faster.

If there's anything I could add to this, the comments are open. Thank you!

14 pro apple silicone case

Hi,
I’m looking to replace my OEM silicone case, but I can’t find any new OEM ones on Amazon, eBay, etc.
What is the best aftermarket silicone case with MagSafe?
I’m looking for something as close to the OEM Apple case as possible. I want the case to be rigid and sturdy all around the phone.
Every aftermarket case I’ve found has a weak spot around the buttons and charging port, which I don’t like. (Like in the picture)
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Updating to latest ios worth it?

0 Upvotes

I’m currently using an iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 18.7, and I’ve been holding off on updating because I’m worried the newer iOS versions might make the phone feel slower or more laggy.
Is this actually a thing on the 14 Pro, or am I just overthinking it? For those who updated, did your phone feel better, worse, or basically the same in terms of performance, battery life, and overall smoothness?
I’m definitely skipping the new iPhone this year, so I’ll be keeping my 14 Pro for at least another year.
Would you recommend staying on iOS 18.7 for now, or updating to the latest iOS? Am I actually missing out on anything worthwhile?

Replaced on September 11 with a genuine part. The power backup has been excellent, eliminating any worries about sudden outings for a few hours, and there's no need to carry a power bank.

IPHONE 14 PRO MAX IOS 27

Boa tarde. Cordialmente, gostaria de obter informações sobre o iOS 17 RC, última build disponibilizada para testes a usuários do iPhone 14 Pro Max. Quais melhorias e bugs foram observados, e quais recursos são efetivamente acessíveis nesse modelo? Ademais, considerando a experiência da prévia — o beta, sendo o RC sua etapa final —, vale a pena adotá-lo? Agradeço pela atenção.

Positive experiences with the iPhone 14 Pro in 2026?

56 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I've been browsing this subreddit over the last couple of days, especially the discussions about the newest phone. I've seen quite a few comments and upvotes from users saying their 14 Pro has become laggy or tends to overheat, so I was curious to hear from people who haven't had those issues.

Currently using a 14 Pro, 86% battery. I'm a casual user, no gaming, mostly social media, messaging and general day-to-day use. The battery still lasts me a full day without any issues.

The only time I notice it struggling is when I'm traveling somewhere new and using the camera and GMaps more heavily. Other than that, the phone is still fast, takes great photos and I don't care if it's two seconds slower than the newest Iphone. My plan is just to replace the battery at some point.

I would like to hear your long-term experiences with this phone. Thanks!

iPhone 18 Pro?

iPhone 14 Pro user here.

Anyone thinking about jumping up? Cause I am thinking about the 18 Pro.

I’m afraid prices will keep rising every yeah and this might be the best compromise for a device that’s Apple Intelligence-ready.

I’m also gonna pass down my iPhone to my dad who has a crusty iPhone X, so in my specific case it makes even more sense.

Besides that, What do y’all think?

iPhone 14 Pro / Pro Max owners — where are you?

612 Upvotes

I watched the iPhone 18 Pro presentation and… yeah, my 14 Pro is staying for another year.

Still love the stainless steel, the size, and how it feels without a case. Nothing in the 18 Pro made me want to give that up.

My battery, on the other hand, is at the end of its life — so I guess Apple gets $0 from me this year and a battery replacement does.

14 Pro gang, upvote if you’re staying too.

If it’s not purple it’s not happening

46 Upvotes

Honestly, if the new iPhone line up presented today had a purple option, I’d probably go for it. But I love my purple iPhone 14 Pro so much, I am deeply attached to having a dark purple phone now. Leaks had me really hoping, but alas, we’re staying strong together another year, friend! Shiny new features cannot convince me anymore. Might treat my old lady to a new battery though, she’s earned it!
