![]() I should note, though, that I tested my iPhone 14 Pro alongside these new devices as my control, and it has a broken-in black leather case. ![]() I cannot, of course, vouch for how they’ll be in six months or a year – that’s a wait-and-see situation. They don’t feel as “premium” as a nice leather case does but I think they’ll hold up just fine for most people. I also got them quite wet on water rides and they held up fine with no buckling or wrinkling issues. The cases I used didn’t pick up much dirt or scuffs during their time in the parks, nor did the wallet, which the phone rested on while on tables most of the time. Apple’s product photography didn’t do the texture any favors, making it look coarse where it is soft. The fine woven cases and wallet that Apple provided for this test are, well, fine? I found them to feel pretty nice to the touch, more like a microsuede than a canvas. They feel really, really good in the bare state, which makes it a shame that most people will obviously slap cases on them right away. The flat edges are leavened in a really nice way by the large radius bullnose that transitions you from the titanium rim onto the ceramic glass front and back – a blend of the original iPhone’s pill shape and the drama of the iPhone 4’s flat-sided slab. This year’s iPhones bring a lovely blend of the design languages Apple has employed since the first iPhone’s release in 2007. ![]() I hope you get some value and enjoyment out of this review and the rad little short film we made for you. I want to get them out into real life and get a real handle on their perks and pitfalls and deliver you a review that gives you the specs in context, as well as a general vibe. I’ve had a hell of a fun time getting to test these things a bit early, and have always taken my responsibility as your avatar seriously. Which is nice, because this is probably my last year doing it. And this year’s iPhone cycle hit me with some of the biggest shocks I’ve ever had in this business. I had two days and some change to drag the phones through the parks capturing video, making purchases, using them as virtual tickets and vacation planners for reservations, coordinating a friends and family group and more.Įach year’s review brings new surprises, even when you’ve got 15 years of hardware review experience.
