Crumbgate

I don’t want to start any drama, believe me. But I haven’t seen anyone talking about this, so I feel I have no choice. The iPhone 14 Pro suffers from a serious design flaw.

With the introduction of the Dynamic Island Apple shrunk the earpiece to a tiny slit cut into the glass. In previous years this was covered in mesh, but for whatever reason (Perhaps a mesh shortage) this year they just left it as an open cavity, which makes it ripe for dust and a few choice crumbs.

For most people the notch/island fades into the background and you don’t notice it during everyday use. I’ll tell you what doesn’t fade into the background though, yesterdays chip crumbs staring straight at you from the top of your phone.

Perhaps the funniest part is when you play a song with a particularly crisp baseline the iPhone 14 Pro ejects a spray of dust in celebration.

I don’t have any demands, it’s a nice phone, but this is just weird.
