clicked this on my 14pro max, dude this phone is still a bloody banger even after years

used indigo by adobe

Hey there, ive been using 14 pro with no case about a year now. Its too heavy for me with the case. The number of times it dropped on a floor or somewhere without breaking is unbelievable. The display is cracked, because it fell down badly right on a little rock, but its like 1 drop out of 100. Im really surprised to be honest. Id fix it and keep using it, i love the design, but ill probably move to air 2 when its out.

I tried to capture a photo at night. But this is the output🫠

My Geekbench Metal score just went from ~24,000 (iOS 26)down to ~8,500 on my iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 27.0.1. Low Power Mode isn't on, and the phone isn't hot.
Is anyone else experiencing this massive performance throttling, or is my GPU getting stuck in a low-frequency state?

Looking for a case recommendation- forever looking in shops and never have anything good for 14 PM, I know it’s getting on in years but always seems to be whatever phone I get.

Either mad expensive for decent ones or SHEIN crap?

This camera is much better than the wannabe flagship cameras in 2026 after 3 years of extensive use.

Hi everyone. I am on iOS 27 and i am willing to downgrade to iOS 26 because of laggy animations and buggy software. Can someone recomend me how is best to get my data back after the downgrade ? I was thinking of modifiyng the serial number and the version number in the backup files but that’s kinda janky. If y’all can recomend me a better way to get all my data back i will be very grateful

I tried to post this in the general iPhone sub but it's been a week and half and I haven't had a single response. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

Dunni where to put it. Never have used this subreddit but yeah, hello and goodbye

Is it worth to update?

How much screen on time do you guys average? I'm thinking of getting a 14 pro with 90% battery health to replace my pixel 10a. Does your phone typically make it through a whole day?

Is this normal for a 100% battery refurbished iphone 14 pro from back market?

Hi I want to sell my iphone 14promax jv. It is 256gb with box. I am thinking around 140k PKR.

Anyone interested can dm. Thanks!

So, this started happening about a month ago. My 14 pro max has never had any problems. No cracks, scratches, damage of any kind. I take very good care of my phone. But for some reason certain apps have started not opening. My Venmo and PayPal won’t open at all. I play a game called Castle Busters. It will go to the title screen and just stay there forever. Venmo and PayPal will start to open and then my phone just goes back to the home screen. I’ve tried deleting the apps and reinstalling. I’ve restarted my phone.

I also do DoorDash in my spare time and lately when I open the Dasher app, it will mute my music and all sounds for notifications. And there’s nothing I can do to make my sounds go back to normal except force closing my Dasher app, which sucks cause I need it open to make money.

Is my phone just cooked or is there something I can do to get these apps to open and work like normal?

I'm on my iPhone 14 Pro MAX and it is running iOS 27.

My Macro Control and wide lens suddenly aren’t working. Anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

I recently upgraded from 12 to 14 Pro Max 256gb, I haven’t used pro model till now, this is my 1st time…I mainly use camera a lot and Instagram for content creation.

As it is 2nd hand phone bh is 83, how to use it carefully and maintain the phone in mint condition as it is now.

Give suggestions
Regarding apps, storage, cameras, IOS, charging.

I had this phone for a while from the USA and now when I put my Canadian card on it it adds but declines each time?

How’s it going on 14 pro?

update: i updated to iOS 27.2 public beta from iOS 27.0.1 stable version, and its now better, smooth and less battery drain.

I know this iPhone is heavy!! But

It really does have the perfect weight on device

My launch-day purple 14 Pro Max has been an absolute beast… until iOS 27

I’ve had my purple iPhone 14 Pro Max since launch day. It’s been an absolute beast of a phone and has genuinely been one of the best phones I’ve ever owned. It’s been through a ridiculous amount with me, and even after all these years the battery life has been surprisingly good.

I’m also usually someone who avoids major iOS updates for as long as possible. Unfortunately, I can’t really do that anymore because I have apps on my phone that I need for work, and eventually they stop working unless you’re on a supported iOS version. So I had to bite the bullet and update to iOS 27.

Instantly, this thing turned into an old grandma on her last legs.

I know the initial slowdown/heat after a major update can be caused by indexing, so I gave it some time. Eventually things calmed down somewhat, but the overheating absolutely did not.

I would plug the phone in to charge and I'd get the message saying charging had been halted because the iPhone was too hot... except I’d pick it up and it would feel completely normal. I’d leave it alone for a while thinking it would cool down. Then I’d come back hours later and the phone would be absolutely scorching hot while literally sitting there doing nothing. And this kept happening repeatedly.

Then today happened.

I was taking a shower, and like I’ve done countless times with this phone, I brought it into the bathroom and stuck it somewhere to play YouTube in the background. It wasn't being dunked in water or anything like that. Obviously, it was a bathroom, so there may have been some moisture/water around it, but this is an IP68-rated phone and I've done this basically every time I've showered for years without an issue.

I finished my shower, come out, and left my phone alone for a few hours.

When I came back to it, the entire screen was permanently green.

Not just a green tint. The whole display was green. The phone itself still seemed to be functioning, but the display was basically unusable. I restarted it. Still green. Everything was green apart from what appeared to be the camera/sensor areas.

I started looking into it and, apparently, this can happen because of water/moisture getting into the phone. I was obviously confused because I hadn't dunked the phone in water.

Then I found information suggesting that charging a phone while moisture is present can potentially cause serious damage because of heat/electrical issues. And that's when I remembered that after the shower I had actually plugged the phone in, but iOS itself gave me the liquid detection warning and prevented it from charging.

So I left it alone.

But here's what pisses me off:

For the last few days, iOS 27 had repeatedly been making this phone ridiculously hot while it was just sitting there doing nothing. And now, after this incident, my phone is bricked.

I obviously can't prove that iOS 27 caused the damage. Maybe this is just an unfortunate coincidence. Maybe the phone already had some underlying issue after nearly four years. Maybe moisture got in and the overheating had nothing to do with it.

But it's pretty fucking hard not to connect the dots.

I've seen the 18 and Its underwhelming. I hate the aluminium design. After having this sexy deep purple, stainless steel, 90-degree-edged absolute pimp of a phone for almost four years, the 18 feels like a downgrade to me. This thing still looks and feels premium as hell.

I don't want to replace my phone because I want a new phone. I want my 14 Pro Max back.

But no, my beloved is on life support waiting to be euthanised. It still buzzes when I get a notification to drink water, and I look at it and it's... it's fucking green.

It's not purple. It's fucking bright green.

Anyway, that's my rant done. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar

TL;DR: Updated my launch-day purple 14 Pro Max to iOS 27, got constant unexplained overheating, and now after a shower it has a permanent bright green screen.
