r/iphone14

hi i have friend trying to sell me their personal phone (she upgraded), im hesitant cos she said it is now at 86%, she used the phone for 2 yrs already. you think it will be a good buy? im planning to install Call of Duty and NBA2k if ever

So this is the second iphone im using, I upgraded from the iPhone se(2) to this and it’s great. The battery life is amazing and everything runs smooth. but I’m having second thoughts since like a price drop and the 15 basically becoming affordable too. Should I sell the 14 I got (it still has 100% battery health since like I barely used it for like 2~3 months now) and get a base model iPhone 15 or maybe even something better. Or would it be a dumb decision cus the 14 isn’t really giving me any problems at all

It would be great.

Apparently I didn’t know I would be breaking the rules if i share the actual screenshot

For context, the back panel of the phone is completely broken, along with the camera module. I dropped it in water a few days ago, and the display died the next day. I figured, fixing it wasn't worth it and I thought I'd save some money and buy a new phone. I had an old android that Im using currently. But today which is 3 days after the incident, the display has seemingly revived itself and is working perfectly fine. It's been working fine for about an hour now. My question is, should I trust that it will be fine and switch to that phone, or whether the display damage is a long term issue that needs fixing regardless? Thank you for your responses.

My iPhone 14 suddenly started charging extremely slowly out of nowhere and I can’t figure out why.

On Friday night everything was completely normal. Then on Saturday afternoon I plugged it in and noticed it was taking around 10 minutes just to go up 1%.

I’ve had the phone for about 1.5 years. Battery health is at 87%.

Things I already tried:
- Different cables
- Different 20W chargers
- Original Apple 20W charger (A2347)
- Force restart
- Cleaning/checking the Lightning port
- Disabling background app refresh
- Disabling optimized charging
- Restarting normally

The weird thing is:
- the phone instantly recognizes the charger
- it shows the charging icon normally
- but it says “slow charger”
- and the battery also drains faster than usual now

Another important detail:
I tested charging it while basically inactive and in about 21 minutes it went from 41% to 54%, which seems relatively normal. So it feels like the issue mostly happens while the phone is powered on/active.

The phone also does NOT overheat at all.

I’m already on iOS 26.5 and have no updates available.

Has anyone experienced this after iOS 26.5 or know if this sounds more like a software bug or a hardware issue starting to fail?

Need suggestions, in my budget, i can either buy a 14 plus or a 16e. And I'm buying this instead of the 13 pro or other base varients, because I care too much about battery

Hi All, I recently got an iPhone 14 for a really good deal, and it is on the latest version of iOS 18, I am very hesitant to update to iOS 26, as I’ve heard many horror stories from doing such. When I got the phone, it was on iOS 17 & it showed that iOS 18 & iOS 26 were both available, so I chose iOS 18 until I could do more research.
Note: I did have iOS 26 on my previous iPhone 11, and it was indeed terrible, but didn’t know if there would be any differences in the two phones because the 14 is the better chip, performance, all out better phone than the 11.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max has recently started shutting down or restarting suddenly. Sometimes it freezes for a second and then reboots with the Apple logo.

I checked the analytics logs and found repeated entries related to:

- Baseband requested rfs sync via indication
- ResetModem
- PowerCycleModem
- CommCenter: TelephonyBaseband

The logs seem to suggest modem/baseband crashes or cellular subsystem resets.

A few more details from analytics:

- Battery health data in logs:
- MaximumCapacityPercent: 101
- CycleCount: 40
- No major thermal panic entries
- Battery disconnect count is 0
- iOS version: 26.4.2

Things I’ve noticed:
- Happens randomly
- Sometimes while on mobile data
- Signal can occasionally fluctuate
- Device is not overheating badly
- No obvious battery drain issue

From what I understand, this might be:
- carrier/SIM issue
- iOS/baseband firmware bug
- modem/baseband hardware issue

Has anyone experienced something similar on the 14 Pro Max? Did resetting network settings, changing SIM/eSIM, or reinstalling iOS fix it? Or did it end up being a hardware issue?

Would appreciate any help before I take it to Apple.

My system data always shows 18gb or above.
Any ideas how to reduce it?

iPhone 14 here that needs a battery. Really don’t have the money for a new iPhone right now so I might just get a battery replacement but I am worried about losing my waterproofing when they open up my phone. Anyone have this done with success?
