And according to my observation, many hot search entries in Apple are basically all fragmented things.
What "iOS update", "delivery time", "system", "worst sales ", etc., can be said to have a slim impact on users.
In addition, there are many hot searches about the crash of iPhone 14.
But Xiao Lei didn't care much at the beginning. After all, all the bugs and crashes of new phones are Apple's annual repertoire.
As long as the user tolerance is high enough, the problem that can be solved through the software is not a problem for Apple.
But if the hardware is overturned, it cannot be solved by lying down and waiting for updates.
Xiao Lei observed these days that the popular sales of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have experienced many problems in software and hardware. The mood of the first-time user of
is like a ten-ring roller coaster, jumping repeatedly between surprise and shock.
Today, we will carefully discuss various problems of the iPhone 14 series based on real cases.
Lingdong Island, it is not smart enough now
Let’s start with the high popularity [Lingdong Island].
Lingdong Island has been hyped up as a "mileage" innovation by many people. Its excellent animation interaction makes the extremely abrupt exclamation mark ... more obvious.
is right. Anyway, after Xiao Lei got the real machine to experience it, he felt that he had the illusion that he had failed online in love.
is the first to be affected by the color difference problem. In the case of strong light, you can see the exclamation mark with a slight tilt. No matter how much the surrounding pixels are imitated, they are destined to be unable to blend perfectly.
Of course, it is not a big problem to use indoors normally.
But what was then welcomed was Lingdong Island's mental attack on obsessive-compulsive users.
After users got started, they found that when Lingdong Island is running, the screenshot will insert the "pills" together.
Bige next door thinks this is a good thing, and it can let friends in the circle of friends know that they have changed into a new phone and highlight their noble identity.
But Xiao Lei’s obsessive-compulsive disorder has been committed. Let’s not talk about privacy leaks for now. I just took a complete picture of the screenshots. What does it mean to dig out a piece for me?
If you are lucky enough, you can also encounter the "Spiritual Islands" with a low probability of triggering.
Buy an iPhone 14 Pro and get two Lingdong Islands. This wave is definitely not a loss.
As for the software adaptation issue of Lingdong Island, you only need to wait for the developers to adapt slowly.
Guozi Ge has also disclosed the design specifications of Lingdong Island, which clearly stated that it is prohibited for advertising marketing and display of sensitive information.
Don’t worry, Lingdong Island will become an advertising displayer.
The paint is removed after the cover, and the scratch resistance is poor
In Xiao Lei's impression, Apple has always been strict with hardware and quality control.
But since the previous two generations, iPhone has experienced various quality control problems one after another, which is really hard to understand.
For example, iPhone 13 has a large border gap that can be inserted into paper, perfectly compatible with A4 paper, with a success rate of 99.7%.
This is another small step Apple has taken for environmental protection. It really, I cried to death.
There is also the problem of cameras that make photo enthusiasts crazy.
And on iPhone 14 Pro, quality control is also not worry-free...
First of all, the back cover has an outrageous durability. Some Apple stores have just put on display machines, but scratches are visible to the naked eye.
According to this scratch resistance, putting the key and iPhone in your pocket will make the unique artistic back cover in a few days.
Small scratches can be perfectly hidden at specific angles.
, but the paint drop is much worse. Many owners who bought the purple version said that a piece of paint fell off after only a few days of using their iPhone.
As for the specific reasons for the paint loss, blogger @ Laobao Technology has talked in detail that the matte back cover of iPhone is different from other AG matte principles.
The production process of apples is to spray ceramic bead sand on glass. Everyone knows the spraying process of
. It is indeed not durable. It is easy to fall off after being scratched by something with high hardness.
The AG matte of the Android camp achieves the matte effect by corroding glass. Since it is processed and transformed by the glass itself, the paint will naturally not fall off.

To put it bluntly, this is that the AG process has flaws. Although the spraying process is convenient, the durability is indeed poor...
dual-card single-card
iPhone started with the 14 series and cut off all SIM card slots of the US version and switched to using eSIM card .
However, this feature must be unacceptable to the local environment in China, so the gentle brother Guozi still comes with dual SIM dual standby standard in the national version.
But the problem comes soon.
Some users just got the non-national tax-free version of iPhone 14 Pro Max, and wanted to plug in the card immediately and enjoy the treatment of the emperor version.
As a result, I just pulled out the card slot and found that this card slot can only contain one SIM card...
If it is just one or two examples, it will not cause any trouble.
But Xiao Lei saw that in Kuan, Weibo and Xiaohongshu , there are many users who have encountered card slots that have failed.
Some netizens speculated that it was the second batch of iPhone 14 Pro series that installed the wrong card slot.
Although the shape and size are the same, there is one side of the single card slot that has no mold opening...
A man who has been in the Apple production line said that this should not be a problem on the production line.
Because every material assembly of Apple requires scanning the code, if it is installed incorrectly, it will cause the system to report an error, completely lock the machine, and only the administrator can unlock it.
In other words, in the assembly process, Apple has dual certifications for manual and machine. Which part of
is wrong? Only Apple can find out if it is checked by itself.
But to be honest, this should be considered a serious failure, thanks to it being Apple. If
was replaced by any domestic manufacturer, it would probably be too popular to be criticized.
Camera shake
The image part can be said to be one of the biggest selling points of the iPhone 14 Pro series. After using 1200W pixels for many years, the 14 Pro series has finally been upgraded to 48 million pixels, achieving nearly lossless 2X zoom.
Xiao Lei's colleague has fallen in love with this 48mp recently and has taken many good photos.
Although the photo files taken by ProRaw are slightly larger, using third-party apps such as NOMO RAW can still achieve both image quality and small size.
may be because the upgrade is too large, which makes Brother Guo Zi, who has been squeezing toothpaste for many years, unable to adapt for a while.
Some users found that the cameras of the iPhone 14 Pro series do not adapt well to third-party apps.
In the camera preview box of some third-party apps, the picture will shake wildly, and if it is frozen, Q bounces...
Xiao Lei checked it and it seemed that OIS anti-shake and the camera calls of third-party apps were in conflict.
But the good news is that this problem has been fixed by Apple at present. If you encounter this problem, you can update the system and solve it.
also has small problems such as automatic restart when charging, sudden battery status icon, and unmidified vertical direction of FaceID. Xiao Lei will not elaborate on it one by one.
Don't always think about hot searches
In my opinion, many bugs in the software are caused by iOS 16 taking too much steps. The sudden appearance of Lingdong Island in
has caused the app to be incompatible and the details of animation interaction are incomplete. The changes on the camera of
have also caused camera shake and other problems. Although
can be solved through system updates in the end, the user's user experience has been affected. The curry flavor of iOS 16 is still a bit heavy...
Of course, we cannot deny that Brother Guozi is unique in terms of popularity and marketing.
Some influential KOLs will post several hot search entries about Apple every day to extend the popularity of the iPhone 14 series.
But too high popularity will also bring backlash.
Especially with so many iPhone 14 this year, every little bug may be taken out for discussion for most of the day.
Some netizens will say that it is because there are too many upgrade points for the iPhone 14 Pro series, which leads to various instability.
Now Xiao Lei also wants to say that consumers are not obliged to help manufacturers do tests...
Who doesn’t want to use it steadily when they get a new phone?
instead of occupying several hot search positions every day, spending more time on quality control and system optimization, will not be able to capture the hearts of consumers better?
