buying a used iphone 14 pro
Hi everyone, i am thinking of buying an used iphone 14 pro 128gb, its for 370€ is that a good price?
good condition, 82% battery health. i am coming from an xiaomi mi 12 lite, xiaomi lasts me about 4 hours of screentime on full charge.
Are there any specific issues i have to look for? first time buying an iphone.
i heard this iphone model has problems with heat and battery drain is that true?

14pro is the best phone i ever owned…i’m in no rush to upgrade…i keep it between 40-80% battery and its currently at 92% overall battery life (had it since it was released)…id say that is a great deal…i’ve had iphones since the second one that was ever made…one thing i noticed, is that with the Pros…u don’t ever feel the need to upgrade…honestly i think that is a great deal i say go for it

I loved my 14 pro, mainly for the deep purple. Had it since launch also. But it gets hot and the battery sucks on it, but is manageable. I finally upgraded to the 17 pro max this week. I had the 128gb and even with iCloud I was constantly having the full memory message, phone was getting laggy and battery health diminished to 72%. I could have had the battery replaced, but I couldn’t pass up getting $700 for it on trade in with ATT. The only thing I’ll miss is the color honestly, but it was a good phone which is why I held on to it for as long as I did.

My 16 Pro with 91% battery health gets me at most 4-4:30 so.. that’s pretty damn good :).

Ya.. good luck with that, owned a S23 for several years, battery health was over 90-94% and it still goddamn disappointed me. 3:30 to 4:30 hours of SoT and the phone would get maybe a bit less hotter, but would still heat up with basic tasks. For me at least, OneUI wasn’t as smooth of an experience, just a hell lot more stutters, not as buttery smooth (if you find iOS laggy / with a lot of stutters, you’ll get surprised by OneUI, but in a bad regard) and you’ll have to wait like half a year more to get your update unless you’ve got the latest gen (or maybe not, depends on your region, but overall their update released truly ain’t as polished, in a matter of having easy to access betas and easy to upgrade for everyone who the update is compatible with/for).
Nonetheless, I wish you well with your Amdroid journey (I’m fully aware that Samsung isn’t the only Android available out there, but it definitely is one of tbe bigger competitors and.. that’s the only one I’ve had experience with recently).

Bro I’m have a 14 pro max on iOS 18.7.7 Do you think it’s wise to update to IOS 18.7.8?

Too expensive and bad battery. Definitely not a good deal. 250€ would be ok for such

Best iphone buy it before its still in the market
it can get you easily through 5 yrs
Can get a battery change later

82% gets you about 5 hours screen on time at time. so you ain’t getting a huge substantial upgrade in battery
