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.

58 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!

Still IP68 rated after “B” replacement?

12 Upvotes

Sorry for the misspelling, apparently you can’t talk about that, “B” word! This post is in reference to IP water resistance rating after a, “B” replacement. Is the iPhone still water resistance after the replacement, specifically, would it still be considered IP68 rated?

iOS 27 on iPhone 14 Pro is worse than 26

20 Upvotes

In my opinion nothing changed beside the keyboard becoming noticeably slower and sluggish (haptic feedback is sooo delayed if I type fast I can’t even feel it…) battery is the same as before…
I don’t know if it’s the logging in the background but At first I thought it was the indexing that made the phone somehow slower but when it finished it kept being like this, I wonder if anyone else feels the same
I hope the stable release will fix this, it feels like you’re typing on a 60hz phone with battery saver on and at 4% wish I stayed on 26.2…

UPDATE: I updated to iOS 27 beta 4 and the lag is next to 0, it’s back to being a normal usable keyboard, I bet stable release will be back as good as 26.5
(So maybe the issue for those who have it is on beta 3)

3 weeks with 14 Pro

249 Upvotes

Hi everyone! A month ago, I decided to seII my 17 Pro because I was not using its full potential and started looking for a 14 Pro (I have always wanted a Deep Purple color) in the best possible condition. After about a week, I managed to find a real gem. I bough.t a practically brand new iPhone 14 Pro through Vinted. It was replaced under warranty for a brand new, unopened, and unrepaired unit with 0 battery cycles, which I also verified through diagnostics. On top of that, it is under warranty until June 18, 2027. Main reason for the purchase was slightly smaller 6.1-inch display compared to the 6.3-inch one on the 17 Pro models, Deep Purple color. I can say that I practically do not even notice a difference in performance (compared to 17 Pro). Yes, I miss some features from the newer model, but it is nothing that limits me in my everyday use of this gem. I paid 430€ for the 128GB version.

iOS 18 or iOS 27 beta

10 Upvotes

Hey guys so I’ve been using iOS 18 and kinda hesitant to update to iOS 26 cuz I heard it’s like the worst iOS till now

Lots of lag, unable to use the phone whole day, heating issue and so many more

So I’ve stayed on 18 and tbh idm but it I do wanna use the liquid glass 😅 also the Lock Screen looks kinda cool and man ngl those suckers sold me over that.

But ya as a general question for those who are using 27 and how it has affected ur phones

I’ve heard the 27 is better and saw a video on a guy who compared iOS 26 and 27 and his geekbench scores had improved on 27

Either ways wanna know if the public beta is good

Thanks for the input fellow 14 users :)

I went out for a run and it was raining and a couple of hours later the phone while idle the AOD turned off and then checked the phone and the screen was like this, tried restarting and still the same issue. The touch works fine, it vibrates, I can access through my apps and has sound from both speakers, cameras working fine, face id also works fine, I've noticed that when the phone is unlocked it does not power off, but when it is locked with the AOD the screen is fully turned on and in a minute the phone powers off automatically. What do you think, how to fix this? A new display or a flex cable maybe? For an original display it will be expensive for me and honestly also I will not know if it is truly an original display from another iphone 14 pro max donor or an aftermarket one, because my country is full of scammers(Bulgaria) and we don't have an official apple service, we have only authorized service providers from apple, and also they are very far away from me, are the aftermarket displays even good compared to an original display and with true colors and true 120hz? In any case it will be expensive for me if the problem is from the display I'm afraid.

Is the iPhone 14 Pro worth it in 2026?

79 Upvotes

Hey all, I am wanting to get a new phone because 128gb of storage isn’t enough for me anymore and I need 256gb. I was thinking of getting the 14 Pro with 256GB. Is it still worth buying? I’ve heard a lot of positives about the phone but also some complaining about overheating and other issues. What‘s your opinion?

Thanks for the help in advance :)

Something seems to have happened while sleeping, went to bed with ~75%, woke up with 15% for some reason. Battery health is at 74% for a few months now with ~1200 cycles.

Anyone else experiencing this on Dev Beta?
