Reply to comment by GameWizzard in iPhone 14 Plus review: Go big or go home by preppythugg

12 pro max plus notoriously has a shit battery life with 5G. So no surprise there.

See my comment above, there are big differences between the 8+ which is a fairly legacy phone topping out at 4G LTE with a relatively smaller display and lower quality display than then models that came after. My 8+'s battery health was 88% when I traded it for the 14pm and would last a day and a half which is excellent. My 14pm is fine - but I am confused by all the hype about the battery because I'm not experiencing any difference.

I’m here to say that even with 5G turned off my 12PM battery is the only reason I’m having a 14PM shipped to my house.

Whatever else comes bundled in the 14PM is just a bonus to me.

That shitty battery life I’m talking about on the 12PM was only using LTE the 5g sucked so much battery I wouldn’t use it… that’s why I’m so surprised the 14PM lasts so long while using 5g
