Yes. You do not create a Mainland China Apple ID. You just use a Singapore one and change the App Store country. Now I remembered.

This year 14 is a failed product (my opinion), both the 14 and 14 plus. The 14 pro is a much better phone. A few of my friends went for the pro after looking and comparing both sets.

Just switched to IOS after many years of Android. Facing some problems, hopefully someone can help.

When I use Windows File Manager to view, it seems that iPhone 14 Pro Max saved each picture I took in IMG (4:3) and IMG_E (16:9), thus taking up double memory. Is there a setting to make it save on only one file to save memory space? And what is AAE files?

in the gallery app. i think you are able to see duplicates and the system will prompt you.

It's not 14 being a failed product but rather, there is nearly zero incentive to get 14 if you are from 13. It doesn't help that 14 has the same chip as the SE 2022, a "mid-range" iPhone

The gallery app only shows one file for each photo which is weird. Only when I use File Manager or Import the images will I get to see both files

So far ok. Will continue to KIV. :D
I realize the 'issue' comes if you leave the Macro Control' to off, when ever you have an object near the camera, it will switch lens resulting in the 'glitch' on the screen.

so the alternatively now is to switch on macro control, and tap to off macro mode, otherwise every time you have nearby objects, the camera will switch lens to ultra wide. but on the screen it just shows as a glitch but never highlight '0.5x'

Yes... hence to me, it is a fail ( my opinion ).
To me, fail is more like a smartphone that is performing poorly or have issues, like Note 7 type. The 14 holds well for everything, just that the Pro is better.

IMO, it's more like the "discrimination" doesn't make sense. Give the SE 2022 last year's chip makes sense since people are paying less than <SGD1000 for it. But giving the 14 last year's chip when people are paying nearly SGD1300 makes you scratch your head, considering that there are other "discriminatory measures" such as retaining the notch, no ProRes, less premium build compared to the Pro.

Is the 14 Plus worth it?

Intending to upgrade from my 12 for the bigger screen, better battery and storage.
I'm not really interested in the Pro Max features, and crucially i don't like the Pro Max weight. Too heavy to handle.

But the price diff between 14 Plus and Pro Max is only $300..
And also Pro Max is OOS everywhere now lol
Go with the max and don’t look back
You’ll not regret
Best $300 spent
