Hi, what are people's thoughts on the iPhone 14 pro? Why do you like it or not? What are the advantages or disadvantages? How is the battery life? I'm coming from a SE3. What is dynamic island? Is it voice over accessible?

Lidar and door detection are possible. Battery is definitely better than SE3. Turn off and turn on sounds are present when the phone boots. Dynamic island allows you to get updated or live activity on the home screen without going into the app. Example, uber rides, sports scores, etc. Not to mention the pro has a good camera too. Oh! and get ready for the face ID.

You can get all of that with the 13 pro. The only thing you will not get is the dynamic island and refresh screen all the time. Battery is great on the 13 pro and probably the price is better. I went with it instead of the 14 pro. People have issues with VO not working sometimes and camera issues.

That's not true! The start-up/Shut-down sounds aren't in 13 Pro. Nor does it offer the Dynamic Island feature. And as someone who comes from 13 Pro Max, I can tell you that the 14 Pro/Max do offer better speakers - the top-firing one in particular. Don't get me wrong - the 13 Pro/Max are fantastic handsets, but the 14 Pro/Max handsets are better when it comes to CPU performance, better/more accurate GPS support, better cameras, enhanced speakers, a more efficient display, and so forth.

From what I was able to observe in a best buy for 10 minutes, the 14 pro seems awesome!!! The design reminded me of the 4 series a bit and the speakers sounded amazing for a phone. I'm personally waiting to see what they do with the 15 series of phones. Still using the 11 from 2019 and have not really seen much of an incentive to upgrade in a few years. But now that upgrade bug has been kind of biting. LOL But waiting for now to see what happens.

Did state that DI is not in the 13 pro. Although the sound is not in the other phone, you can get the phone to restart by asking Siri.

I think this is a very useful feature of the 14 pro and one I'm looking forward to.

I love my iPhone.
I have iPhone 14 Pro and the battery is great.
I don't see disadvantages of that.
