Out of the hobby of digital and the inertia of my wife using iPhone, my family upgrades the latest iPhone every year. However, the upgrade model has changed in recent years. From the previous wife's new year to the recent replacement of new ones between us. No matter how you change it, over the years, we still have some say in the upgrade and user experience of iPhones.
is different from the old iPhones that were acquired in previous years. This year, due to YQ, the process of obtaining iPhone 14 Pro Max has gone through ups and downs. My wife's old phone , iPhone 12 Pro Max, was not able to take action in time, so three generations of people lived together.
technology is based on color change
In recent years, the leading role of iPhone in the fashion colors of digital products cannot be underestimated. From dark night green on 11, sea blue on 12, far peak blue on 13, to dark night purple on 14, Apple interprets technology based on color change to the fullest.
But then again, Apple is quite good at controlling color and trends. Although it has been one or two years since the autumn pants blue and sea blue, it seems to be quite classic and pleasing now, and has not become boring with time. I believe that this year's Thanos Purple will continue this state.
But what I want to complain about is that as the world's number one technology company, why can't we put some effort into making mobile phones thin and light? The reason why I chose the 13 Pro last year was that I couldn't accept the pressure feel of the Pro Max... But after a year of use, the battery life of the Pro is really bad, so this year I continued to buy the 14 Pro Max for my wife. Anyway, she has become accustomed to the feeling of holding a brick.
relatively objectively speaking, the new iPhone phones in recent years have become increasingly unremarkable, and there are not many upgrades that make people shine. In terms of hardware, in addition to the routine chip upgrades every year, from the 120Hz high refresh rate of iPhone 13 Pro to the pill screen of iPhone 14 Pro, these upgrades have long been accustomed to Android users.
The biggest highlight of this year's iPhone 14 Pro series is the "Lingdong Island" that has no advantages in making the pill screen shine and avoiding its weaknesses. However, as a software-level function, everyone's freshness will soon fade and fade. To be honest, no matter how hard-core island landing design is, it cannot compare to the experience improvement brought by smaller holes, so what are you going to do next year? Think about it quickly...
But I still have to give Lingdong Island a name. In order to obtain traffic, some bloggers complain that there is a large color difference between Lingdong Island and the screen hole digging area, which is quite useless. However, after a period of use and observation of many applications, the overall situation is still relatively coordinated. I dare not say that the color difference does not exist, but it can be said to be quite unobstructed and there is no sense of incongruity. So I hope that friends who "land land" can continue.
Another important upgrade of the iPhone 14 Pro series this year is the upgrade of the 12-megapixel main camera to 48-megapixel. What followed was that the camera module became larger and more prominent. Friends who buy it must either buy applecare+ or choose a hard-core anti-fall shell, otherwise it will definitely hurt you once your hands slip. If you want to take a real shot of
real shot, the imaging quality of iPhone 14 is still relatively OK. Color performance, exposure accuracy, and picture layering are all online, but at the price of iPhone, these are all the right ones.
8 megapixels need to be manually turned on in the settings. After turning on the Apple ProRAW function, just select the 48MP mode. A single 48 megapixel photo is about 75MB (or larger). Friends who love mobile phone images need to choose the appropriate storage capacity according to actual needs. It is recommended to skip the 128GB version directly.
In addition, even if the ProRAW 48MP mode is turned on, the photos are not always maintained at 4800 pixels. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will actively adjust according to the environment to ensure the best imaging quality. It is 48 million pixels in good light, and the poor light will be adjusted to 36 million pixels or even lower.
As for night scenes, I personally believe that although the iPhone 14 Pro Max has improved in the ancestral "ghosts" and has made progress in highlight suppression and light and dark details, the overall performance is still difficult to match its "noble" value, and the color restoration distortion problem of the highlight part is still very prominent. The overall performance of the night view is to be polite, and it will be barely passed.
Finally, I quote a sentence from my wife to summarize the iPhone 14 Pro Max I bought, which is, "Lingdong Island is useless, and other upgrades don't feel like it."... Ordinary users can refer to her comments. If you like to use iPhone for image recording, there will be some improvement.
must choose the
When you are strong enough, everything you say is right, and the iPhone is doing quite well in this regard. Starting from iPhone 12, Apple no longer comes with chargers and headphones, so the iPhone's packaging is well deserved to be the smallest on mobile phones, and then Apple is also closer to its carbon neutrality target.
Although the iPhone no longer comes with a charger to give users greater choice, for users who are not so proficient in digital products, selection difficulties also arise. What kind of charger to match the new iPhone has become a must-answer question for every user. No matter what, please grasp two points. First, don’t continue to use the old phone’s five blessings and one safety deposit box to save costs. The charging is too slow and seriously affects the user experience; second, don’t choose miscellaneous chargers too casually. The performance and quality are not guaranteed, and it will be more cost-effective to charge the phone.
For the purchase of iPhone chargers, I have the following suggestions:
- If it is mainly used to charge iPhones in daily life, then try to choose as small as possible;
- try to choose the larger power, and the iPhone charging power, which is the upgrade speed of toothpaste squeezed, it is estimated that it will be upgraded to 35W in 2-3 years. Moreover, the greater power can take into account the charging needs of iPad, MacBook Air and other products, which is more valuable;
- If you are not a very short-term Apple fan, it will be OK to choose a third-party accessories manufacturer. The cost savings can be purchased with very hard-core functions.
Based on the above, I chose a 35W gallium nitride charger for my wife this year - Flash Retro 35. It not only has hard-core performance, but also has a pleasant design.
says flashing The appearance design of Retro 35 has two meanings. One layer is flashing and designing a very common stand-alone charger into the appearance of Apple's " Macintosh " computer, paying tribute to the classics.
not only pays tribute to the overall appearance, but also has very good details control. There are all kinds of screens, floppy drives, and cooling holes with a smile. It is also a trendy desktop digital toy.
Another layer is that this charger weighs only about 55g. With a small volume of about 32*35*43mm, it achieves a maximum power of 35W, and its energy density reaches about 0.74W/cm³, which is a solid small body and large energy. Not only that, the shell of the Flash Retro 35 uses German external ear PC fireproof material, combined with integrated molding and trapezoidal heat dissipation structure, which not only ensures efficient charging, but also takes into account safety in use.
If you have no idea about the size of the Flash Retro 35, then it will be much more intuitive to compare it with Apple's ancestral "Five Blessings and One Announcement". Because the pins of the five blessings and one am not foldable, the flash pole with the foldable pins of the Retro 35 is not much larger than that of the five blessings and one am, but the maximum power is 7 times that of the five blessings and one am, which is quite hard-core.
If you think the screen of Shining Retro 35 is just for decoration and cuteness, it will be hasty. This screen is called a smart screen. According to the mobile phone temperature and battery status, it intelligently matches the appropriate charging power, and the actual charging power situation is intuitively presented through color changes. Specifically, the power is <0.2w>
In addition, the screen will automatically turn off 5 minutes after the device is empty or full. Friends who are used to charging at night do not have to worry about the light pollution on the screen that is lit for a long time and affect sleep. The detailed functional design is quite considerate. If
is actually used, the U-meter Flash Pole Retro 35 supports a wide range of fast charging protocols, including PD2.0 3.0A 35W, PD3.0 PPS 3.30~11.0V 33W, Apple 2.4A, BC1.2DCP, QC3.0 5V/9V/12V, QC4+, Samsung AFC 5V/9V/12V 25W, Huawei FCP 5V/9V/12V 24W, SCP 3.4-12.0V 2.0A 35W.
supports 5V/3.0A, 9V/3.0A, 12V/2.92A, 15V/2.33A, 20V/1.75A, 3.30~11.0V/3.0A, 5 fixed gears and 1 PPS gear output. Overall, it can be well compatible with all kinds of mainstream digital devices on the market.
For iPhone 14 Pro Max, Flash Retro 35 basically achieves perfect adaptation. When the battery remains about 30%, the smart screen is in a green and fast charging state, and the real-time charging data is 9.07V/2.93A/26.60W, which identifies the PD 2.0 protocol and runs in the 9V/3A gear.
In addition to iPhone, Flash Retro 35 can also effectively adapt to your wife's MacBook Air. With the remaining 60% of the battery capacity of the MacBook Air, the real-time charging data is 19.81V/1.64A 32.41W, identifying the QC 2.0 protocol. You should know that the standard charger of Apple's MacBook Air is only 30W, which can be charged but cannot reach the best state. In this case, using the Flash Retro 35 can get a better charging experience.
Under the third generation GaN chip and nine-fold safety protection, the flash Retro 35 has excellent temperature control performance even if it charges for a long time. When the MacBook Air is continuously charged at a fast state, the maximum temperature of the case is less than 50°C, which can be said to be quite calm.
So, if you want your new iPhone to be safer and more useful, a charger is a must-have accessory that cannot be ignored. If you don’t know which one to buy, the retro Macintosh Retro 35 is a good choice. It has hard-core performance, safe and reliable, and has a good appearance, small and portable. It’s not only beautiful, but also has such a "Retro 35", is it necessary to choose such an expensive official charging head?
By the way, if there is little demand for charging thin and light laptops and other slightly higher power devices, and only charging mobile phones in daily life, you can also choose their 20W colored Macintosh, which has the same appearance and can basically meet the daily charging needs of most iPhones. The price is half cheaper, and it is more cost-effective to choose on demand.
Necessary protection is indispensable
Like my family, when upgrading a new iPhone every year, you must consider the value preservation needs of the old iPhone. Play and use it, but the money is not blown by the strong wind, so you still need to protect it. There is a scratch on the screen and body that cannot be seen under the light. When you take action, you will be discounted by 200 or 200, not to mention the bumps and injuries of the back panel or lens module...
So, when I change my iPhone, I will basically buy the phone case and screen film in advance. The new phone will be arranged as soon as possible, seamlessly connected to ensure that there is no mistake.
mobile phone case
If I use a mobile phone, basically one mobile phone case will be used to change the phone, but my wife...
Girls' obsession with mobile phone cases is the same as their obsession with bags, and it is never enough, so with iPhone 14 Pro Max bought 4 mobile phone cases together, but I guess this may not be the end...
UAG
UAG should be a leading brand of anti-fall phone cases. Starting from my wife's iPhone 7P, basically, new phones will have a UAG personal protection.When I was on iPhone 7P, my child was still very young. I really picked up the mobile phone and threw it on the ground if I didn’t pay attention. So it was from that time that I strengthened our confidence in UAG’s hard-core fall-proof ability.
As the baby grows up, Moma's mobile phone is becoming more and more secure, but UAG's classic hardcore military mecha style has not changed, so there was a moment in between that the wife no longer needed UAG. Why did the iPhone 14 Pro Max be purchased as soon as possible? First, because the second treasure is coming, the mobile phone needs hardcore to prevent falling; second, because UAG's magnetic crystal-absorbing and ice-permeable style is simple and fashionable, which can well show the true color of Thanos purple on iPhone.
Unlike the classic military mecha style, the first feeling of UAG's magnetic crystal clear ice-permeable style is that it is quite light even if it supports magnetic absorption. When the weight of the iPhone 14 Pro Max remains high, if you value anti-fall, it is very necessary to choose a lighter anti-fall case.
This UAG mobile phone case is not only lighter, but also has excellent light transmission like glass. It can basically present the original color of the iPhone without any discount. Whether it is Thanos purple or graphite black, it is OK.
It is not an exaggeration to say that UAG is a master brand for anti-fall shells. Although the crystal clear ice-transparent style is not the most classic style, it is also full of hard-core anti-fall designs. First of all, the frame part should be higher than the back plate of the phone case, which will play the first level of shock absorption and buffer protection when it falls unexpectedly.
Secondly, the four corner positions not only adopt a sculpted corner design, but also can see the obvious reinforced airbag structure, which is thicker than the straight edge. When the four corners of the mobile phone hit the ground, the impact force is quite large. This design can effectively buffer and disperse the impact force on the body, reducing the possibility of damage to the mobile phone.
In addition, when the screen is pasted with tempered glass film , the edge of the phone case is still significantly higher than the screen part. As long as it does not fall to an uneven surface, the screen can be basically safe.
The noble lens module is also treated the same way. The lens area of the mobile phone case is significantly higher than the frame, which not only avoids the wear of the lens for daily use, but also provides support and buffering for the lens module when it falls, ensuring the lens safety.
In terms of details, the accuracy of opening holes and button experience of UAG mobile phone cases can be assured, and they are all like ceilings in the mobile phone case field.
Finally, if you can, you will give priority to the magnetic phone case, because the convenience of putting down the charging, picking up and using it, without cable constraints is really cool. This UAG magnetic crystal-absorbing ice-permeable phone case has 38 N52 powerful magnets built-in, which are precisely aligned, stable adsorption, and efficient charging. It is done in one go, which is quite convenient.
If hardcore anti-fall performance is required, UAG mobile phone case is the first choice, anti-fall, this brand is serious and reliable!
Kate Spade
In the eyes of boys, it is too troublesome for girls to go out to match bags based on their clothes, but only when they really live together can they know that they may not only match bags, but also not let go of mobile phone cases... Therefore, in the life cycle of their wife's mobile phone, they will also buy 1-2 high-value light luxury mobile phone cases, such as this blingbling Kate Spade.
This Kate Spade quicksand phone case is really eye-catching. The red quicksand is also decorated with silver foil sequins, which will shine to the end. With such a mobile phone case, you will be the visual focus anytime, anywhere.
Two points should be paid attention to when choosing a mobile phone case with high appearance. First, ordinary plastic materials will turn yellow significantly after use for a period of time, which seriously affects their appearance and will also appear very cheap. The Kate Spade mobile phone case uses molecular regeneration imported raw materials, which is antioxidant, not easy to yellow, and maintains a high appearance for a long time.
Second, ordinary mobile phone cases are more likely to absorb grease on hands and collect fingerprints, which not only affects appearance, but also easily leads to slipping of hands.The Kate Spade phone case has an anti-fingerprint coating on the surface to ensure the appearance is always online.
This KS red quicksand shell can clearly rely on its appearance, but it has hard power. It has also passed the US military anti-fall certification and has relatively hard-core anti-fall capability. The frame of the lens area is 0.3mm higher than the lens module, effectively protecting the lens.
The key force is moderate, not loose or tight, and the response is fast, and the overall button experience is very good.
However, although this KS mobile phone case has also passed the military anti-fall test, there are obvious differences in details than UAG, so if it is hardcore anti-fall, I still recommend UAG more. However, if the young ladies want to buy a fashionable and stylish mobile phone case with good anti-fall performance, the Kate Spade mobile phone case is a good choice. After all, UAG is still too tough for the young ladies.
COACH
My wife also bought another light luxury brand mobile phone case - COACH.
If the Kate Spade quicksand phone case in the front hides the brand in a low-key manner, then this COACH shell full of C characters will show the brand's classic logo without reservation.
This COACH C-shaped case is very thin and light and light in your hand. In addition to the color C-shaped logo of blingbling, the light transmittance of the shell itself is also quite outstanding.
Although the shell is relatively light and thin, it has also passed the military anti-fall certification. The frame position and lens area also adopt a height-enhancing protection design, which has a certain anti-fall capability, just in case of daily use.
Relatively speaking, this shell is a very classic pattern of COACH, with high recognition, good details and not expensive. Women who like fashion and light shells, and those who like COACH brands can consider it.
Momis
This Momis metal dynamic magnetic shell is a very suitable for iPhone 14 Pro series dark night purple color matching shell.
TPU material purple border with matte back shell made of PC material is quite distinctive.
In terms of feel, the TPU frame of this Momis shell is very soft and skin-friendly, and the PC back panel has considerable strength. If you pinch it hard, it is a combination of soft and hard.
not only adopts independent key design, but also the keys are made of metal. The feel and experience are very online, so you can rest assured. In terms of protection details, Momis uses a purple aluminum alloy camera circle to achieve micro-convex protection of the camera module. The appearance and texture of the aluminum alloy camera circle are YYDS, and the wear resistance needs to be continuously used to verify. The built-in MagSafe magnetic suction module of
has a very strong suction force, so you don’t have to worry about the phone falling off when you hold the magnetic suction power bank.
The overall effect is quite good, very Thanos purple. Personally, I think it would be better if the matte back panel can show the color of the phone itself. In addition, this Momis metal dynamic magnetic case is the best disassembled and installed mobile phone case with anti-fall capability, which is mainly due to its softer TPU bezel.
tempered glass film
Although iPhone uses top-level materials, it cannot be taken lightly. Before, the tempered film was broken and the newly purchased tempered film had not arrived yet, so the screen ran naked for a few days. As a result, in this vacancy, there were tiny scratches on the screen, which directly affected the final price of the sale. Therefore, the screen must be pasted in time and choose a reliable one.
This year, I chose Momis' tempered glass film with my mobile phone case. The high aluminum-silicon glass material not only ensures the display effect of the screen to the greatest extent, but also has strong screen protection capabilities and considerable durability.
The only drawback is that this Momis tempered glass film still uses the most traditional filming method and does not contain accessories such as filming artifacts. Therefore, if you want to achieve a perfect filming, you still need some technical guarantee. The effect after posting
is quite good. It not only has a good light transmission effect, no fingerprints, but also is quite smooth. The touch experience is quite good and it is worth the money.
is ready for any accidents. If you want to get the best user experience, you must not ignore its MagSafe magnetic absorption ecosystem, precise magnetic absorption and efficient wireless charging. You can't get it back if you pick it up and use it.
Although the battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro Max this year is still quite hard-core, I still prepared a Momis magnetic power bank for my wife. The front of this Momis Power Bank uses an tempered glass transparent shell, which can clearly see the internal parts. It is full of cyberpunk style, and the technology feels full, which is what I like~
transparent shell design not only has high appearance, but also shows the brand's confidence in product quality. The regular and tightly arranged coils and magnets are made of generous materials and full texture.
This power bank has a capacity of 10,000mAh, is small in size and moderate in weight, and is very suitable for daily carry-on use without adding too much burden.
has the right size design. Even if it is attached to the iPhone 13 Pro, the power bank will not protrude from the phone and will not block the lens area.
Through the buttons on one side and 5 LED lights, you can view the battery status more intuitively and be clear.
is equipped with a powerful magnetic absorption module, so the adsorption is quite reliable. The iPhone 14 Pro Max equipped with a magnetic absorption case cannot be shaken off, which is easy to use and safe. In terms of performance, it supports 15W/10W/7.5W/5W four-speed wireless charging, which not only meets the wireless charging needs of iPhones, but also is effectively compatible with Android phones, wireless headphones and other devices.
Leather bottom cover has the function of a bracket, and the two folds can achieve two-stage angle support. In actual use, we can flexibly adjust the appropriate bracket angle according to the table's situation.
The regular vertical adsorption ensures daily use needs. In addition to the need for daily use, it is super cool to watch TV series in horizontal screens. It not only liberates both hands and restores blood to the phone, killing multiple shots in one fell swoop.
connects the power bank with a data cable, and it turns into a magnetic charging stand. It can charge the phone while outputting it to the outside, while maintaining full blood supply at the same time, and can respond calmly when encountering emergencies.
When there is not much time required to quickly charge the phone, you can choose the wired mode 20W PD fast charging to quickly recover the blood of the iPhone. When going out with your wife, it is okay if you need to charge both phones. This power bank also supports both wired and wireless modes to output simultaneously, one wireless charging and the other wired charging. So easy~
has flash pole Retro 35 and Momis transparent magnetic wireless power bank, two small and powerful hard-core charging equipment, from now on, iPhones are used with peace of mind and no longer have low battery anxiety.
was written at the end
Overall, the upgrade of the iPhone 14 Pro series did not bring me too much surprises, it was considered to squeeze toothpaste, which was just a fair bit. In fact, not only the iPhone, but also the entire mobile phone circle has entered a bottleneck stage. In addition to the folding screen, Android phones also have few eye-catching innovations. Despite this, life still needs to continue. You have to use your phone and change it. I guess in addition to hardcore Apple fans, there are many users like my wife who continue to use iPhone out of habit.
Although the iPhone has not made much innovation and progress, we can use some excellent accessories to improve and improve the daily usage experience as much as possible, so that the iPhone can better play the role of tools, and can use it more easily, more vigorously, and more reflect your personal style and personality. In this way, both iPhone and accessories will make the best use of the money and be worth the money! Yes?
