r/iphone14

Hey so have any of u guys installed iOS 26.5.2 on their iPhone 14s? If u have plz lemme know if like u regret it or someth cuz some are saying it will drain ur battery and weaken the performance. I am currently on iOS 18.1.1

Hi everyone

My dad's iPhone 14 had lately started over heating and will stop charging when he's in his car. Does anyone know why it would be overheating? thank you

Hi !

I just change my XR to a 14 one (the other ones are too expensive), and i don't know why but being on the 14 is hurting my eyes and my head, i find it less enjoyable than being on the XR, do anybody had the same feeling ? And do you know a way or a setting to fix that ?

Apple just replaced my logic board with iOS 18.6.2. Is there any way I could downgrade later or save the blobs before I restore my data?

how much is your geekbench score bh and ios version on ip14 mine is single core single 2290 and multi 5574 and gpu metal score 21465 bh 83 ios 27.2 beta tell yours mne is iphone 14 base

Battery degradation is smth to worry about but not in relation to performance, unless your iphone indicates that the performance is not optimal. In which case, yes maybe replace the battery, but I have an iphone 13 PM with 70% of its capacity and it still supplies more than enough power for optimal performance.

The issues usually come from ios 26's poor performance and lags. Which was my case until I've updated to 27 and now it doesn't overheat, nor lag nor have any animation slow downs. So yeah, stop suggesting battery replacement cuz there are people who don't know enough about energy consumption (like me) and I was about to order a new battery until i've done some research and figured that 70% of battery's capacity is still more than enough for basic usage of your phone. Spread the word geeks 😅👾👾

so from the title, i'm still on ios 18, and i am not really planning to switch to 26 (ever) or only unless i get an iphone after this one.. which is a low probability, considering that i'm not iin northern america and the "social function" requiring ios phones(something i saw on LTT) and it being a "high class phone" does not sell it for me

aside from the numerous posts i saw where these phones have been lagging and causing battery issues on this subreddit and lagging on liquid glass, from the day it came out, and on newer phones too, and me being anti gen ai or whatever ai "feature" apple is pushing out.

so a question to other iphone users:

1. do you notice or care that someone you see or befriend has or doesnt have an iphone?

2. with ios 26+ what have you noticed that generally improved your experience ?

I bought an iPhone 14 in ‘Good’ condition from Back Market and the capacity is 82%.

However, when I open/close apps, I notice a lag vs my newer iPhone 15 no lag at all). The way I describe it is it’s slower to open and close apps and not as seamless as it should be.

Is this normal for older iPhones bought refurbished? Thinking of returning it and getting another but if the replacement is also the same, then not worth it. Thanks.

Hello!

I have a 14PM, and I am currently on ios 16. I am thinking of updating my ios. Would the ios18 or 26 be best for the “older” model?

Thank you

Hi guys! New here. Just wondering if it would be worth it to buy a whole new iPhone, or just simply repair my battery in my current iPhone 14 Pro Max?

My battery health percentage is going down, so recently I have been having the thought of wanting to repair the battery, but also had the thought of upgrading.

What do you guys think/suggest? Feel free to let me know!

Thanks yall!!

J'ai un problème avec l'iPhone 14 sous ios 26.5 de ma copine (localisation :France)

En gros le téléphone ne prend plus en compte la carte sim (le téléphone la lit mais elle ne se déverrouille pas) de l'opérateur elle ne peut donc plus utiliser les messages classiques ni avoir internet a l'extérieur de la maison vu que son forfait internet est avec l'opérateur en question..

Elle a essayé de l'éteindre et de le rallumer de déconnecter le Wi-Fi de le reconnecter et Avec le mode avion pareil rien ne fait. La carte SIM ne veut pas se déverrouiller (et ce n'est pas la carte SIM qui a un problème parce qu'elle a essayé sur son ancien téléphone La carte SIM marche très bien )

Si elle tape le bon code ça ne prend pas en compte. Il reste encore les trois tentatives pour essayer même si elle fait un mauvais code ça ne le prend toujours pas en compte. Il reste quand même trois tentatives à faire (le carte SIM ne se déverrouille pas )

Le téléphone est un téléphone reconditionné. Est-ce qu'il y a déjà eu des problèmes de ce type là comme une carte SIM qui n'arrive pas à se lire sur l'iPhone 14 ?

Ps : Et je tiens a préciser que la maj ios 26.5 ne veut pas s'installer malgré l'espace de stockage disponible pour cette maj

Merci d'avance pour votre réponse
