Hello Mich, You still don't get the iPhone 13 Pro Max for $0, they may want you to think you do, but the question is how much your plan is and what you get for that. If you pay anywhere around $80 a month for which you should get unlimited Canada wide calling and texting + quite a good amount of data then you are still paying at least $20 or $25 for your phone and if they say that you have to give the phone back after 2 years or pay something to keep it then you definitely don't get it for free. You can get a plan with unlimited calling and texting + a bunch of data from Koodo or similar for probably no more than $50 or $55 a months if you bring your own phone so anything above $50 or $55 is for your phone. As for the iPhone 8, if you have a 64 Gb model than they might give you $100 if you are lucky, remember they only offered me $200 for my iPhone 11 which already has Face Id and is newer. You can, however, still get probably $250 or $200 for sure for your iPhone 8 if you sell it privately and as long as it is in good condition.

I am hopeing to upgrade from the I phone 8 to the I phone 13 max so that I can take addvantige of the lidar feture how ever I am also with tellis and I am wondering how mutch they would give me for my I phone 8? Since I am in the bring it back program and I would only have to pay for the taxes and get the I phone 13 max for 0 dollars not counting the taxes of korce. I to was not that impressed with the I phone 14 how ever I did like the watch though the watch ie I meen not the more expencive ones. How ever even that I would have to pay around 300 cad and I am notshure if I should go with the gps version or the one with cell service. As far as the answer to the question in this post I don't think that the I phone 14 has the lidar no. from Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: September 9, 2022 3:24 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Does iPhone 14 have Lidar capability? >From all I read the regular 14 and 14 Plus do not have LiDAR. You'd be hard pressed to list 3 good reasons why somebody should upgrade from an iPhone 13 to a 14 or even from an 11 or 12 to a 14. I am actually quite underwhelmed with this years phones especially the regular models which still have the A15 chip just like the 13 models from last year. They say they improved the camera a bit and the front camera now has auto focus so I guess if you are a selfie obsessed person that may be one good reason. The emergency SOS via satellite is definitely a feature and a good reason for people who go off the grid a lot and then that is about it. I have a regular iPhone 11 which works great and for things like doing OCR, recognizing currency or using other Seeing AI features I doubt you would be able to notice an improvement between it and the iPhone 14 or even iPhone 14 Pro. For sighted people who love taking tons of photos and are really into good photography the 14 Pro definitely would be a great option, if you really want to take advantage of door detection and maybe other features in various apps which require the LiDAR sensor then you have also a very good reason for the 14 Pro or Pro Max, but only if you don't already have a 12 Pro/Pro Max or 13 Pro/Pro Max which already have the LiDAR sensor as well. I had my call from Telus, my provider in Canada today and I could have upgraded to an iPhone 14 Pro 128 Gb for $30/month over 24 months and then I would have to give the phone back to them or buy out that option for $560. This means that over 2 years I would have paid $720 and if I then wanted to keep the phone I'd have to buy it out for $560 so in total I would pay $1,280. I can go to the Apple Store and buy a new iPhone 14 Pro 128 Gb in Canada for $1,399 so I guess doing the deal with Telus may save me $100 or $120, but not a huge difference. AS for trade-in, Telus said they would give me $200 for my iPhone 11 64 Gb which is laughable because I know I could easily get $500 for it if I put it up for sale now privately. So I will just wait and see what happens for a while, if the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro phones aren't accepted as much as Apple may hope they are you may soon find stores, carriers and maybe even Apple offering extra deals and Black Friday is only just over 2 months off. I am of course somewhat tempted to get an iPhone 14 Pro because I like the idea of the MagSafe charging where a slight bump or pull on the Earpods wouldn't dislodge the phone from its charging position on the wireless charging pad and you can get external batteries like that new Anker 622 MagGo which has 5,000 Mah capacity and it snaps onto the back of the phone without covering the camera opening, but I'll just wait a bit longer. Once the new phones are regularly available they may even be sold by my credit card rewards program and I have plenty of points and if not then I know for sure they have $500 Apple Store or Best Buy gift cards which I could order and then use to buy one. I know for sure that if I had a MagSafe capable phone like a 12 or 13 series phone I'd have 0 incentive to get a 14. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, September 9, 2022 9:31 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Does iPhone 14 have Lidar capability? As far as I know, LIDAR is still only on the pro and pro max models. One could call Apple to double check, but I was surprised they didn't mention anything about it especially with the door detection feature that is apparently coming in iOS 16, but of course, Wednesday's presentation was focused on hardware, not software.
