maduin posted:How in the world do people think upgrading an iPhone 4 to iOS 7 and an iPhone 6 from 8.0 to 8.3 is the same thing? It's not most people's job to know the nuances of which updates might wreck performance or not It's obvious that a phone you bought this year should continue to work great with updates, but I'm sure there a lot of people that all they know is "once I updated my old iPhone and then it was slow unusable poo poo forever, so i'm not gonna install updates any more" and I don't really blame them for that. Education is the answer.

Honestly if you're not gonna acknowledge how lovely ios 7 runs on the 4 or how lovely ios 6 runs on the 3gs you're just out of your head. I can concede that it's gotten better for "less old" phones.

Everyone is saying iOS 8.3 runs at least as well as 8.1 on an iPhone 6 and there's no reason not to update.

I'm having a couple iTunes Match related issues: Last night I went to a concert where the band was playing one of their EPs in its entirety, so I wanted to listen to the EP on the drive there. The entire thing played fine except for one song from it, my favorite song on it, which played for about 10 seconds and then refused to play past that. Then afterwards, I tried listening to the new album by a different band, which I added to iTunes Match earlier that day and it said it uploaded fine. But whenever I tried to play the album on my phone, it would crash the music app. Selecting any individual song from the album does this too. I tried playing another album by that same band and it worked perfectly fine, so I'm guessing that's just an isolated thing. There's nothing wrong with the files on my computer when I add them to iTunes Match because I preview them first and they work fine. Also shuffling my library seems to work fine, but it also never shuffled to any of the problem songs in question either so I don't know if those would play through shuffle or not. But is there a way to check the integrity of my iTunes Match library and fix errors or something like that? It worries me that most of my music works fine but a song here or an album there just will not play properly.

Kaizoku posted:I've never seen someone misuse 'cromulent' until now. Good job. It's an intelligent strategy because updating is a risk every time. And let's face it, most updates don't actually add much of note to old devices. The primary "benefit" to users is that they allow you to run the latest versions of apps. ---- Apple is lazy about supporting old devices. Developers are lazy about supporting old OSes. Certainly Apple doesn't make their job very easy. We have a situation where a large number of apps will only support the latest OS major version. A lot of the time they only support the latest OS minor version. The only way this will change is if a larger proportion of devices are running older OS versions. This is starting to change for a couple of reasons, although it's probably due mostly to a lack of free space on people's phones. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 02:52 on May 22, 2015 |

I don't know if this thread is a tech support thread per se but anyway, I had issue with my iphone 6 pairing to my car (Honda Accord) using Handsfreelink. It was never a problem when I had a 5, I mean occasionally it would default to iphone but usually I could switch it back if I make a phone call from my iphone it simply wont go to the handsfreelink in my car, no matter how many times I try to force it. However when I get phone calls from people it almost always goes to handsfreelink just fine. Any ideas?

Nope, definitely not. It has enough weight to stay in one place with the cable pulling on it, but that's about it. You can remove the phone one-handed, but you need to push off from the base with a finger. It's also pretty fiddly to get the phone on, since the only contact point is the actual Lightning connector, which is a tiny target. And the port has enough play that the phone can actually sit crooked on the dock. I guess these are the trade-offs to make it fit any phone in any case, but I don't really like it. I'll probably just get the TwelveSouth Hi-Rise instead. I don't really like the "high" part of that, but otherwise it seems nicely made .

I'm not married to this guy but I did the same thing. They also actually carry them in the Apple stores here which is nice, because when I went to buy my second Amazon was sold out so it was all 3rd party jacked up prices.

In general the .0s are the biggest changes, and the dot releases are incremental improvements/bug fixes on top of the .0s. EDIT: bah missed the new page. So many correct replies before mine.

All the rumours point towards iOS 9 being made as a huge spring cleaning to the inevitable messy code and bloat that so many updates will cause, so I guess if it's supposed to be more efficient all round than iOS 8 it's not a huge surprise it should support older devices.

Apple hasn't even announced iOS 9 yet. (Obviously it's coming.) 2) The same rumor is that instead of starting by getting the full OS running then removing features until it runs acceptably as they've done in the past, they're starting with the basic core and adding features until it stops running acceptably. Whatever difference that might make remains to be seen

The iPhone 4s was still being sold as the "free" phone on contract when the iPhone 5s was announced. The lineup went 4s, 5c, 5s. It was only discontinued last year with the introduction of the iPhone 6. To cut off updates less than a year after it's discontinuation would be pretty lovely.

Finally got a iPhone 6+ after three years of my 4S, and I'm wondering what's the best case to get - I'm looking for something around $20 or less and something like SwitchEasy's Lanyard for phone charms. Also what are some suggested brands for matte screen protectors for the 6+?

A stolen leather official Apple case will be the best case. The leather Apple case is the ebst case is what I'm saying. And probably Spigen or Bodyguardz. Spigen support is kinda poo poo whereas Bodyguardz is great, but buying Bodyguardz means you have to buy from a company called Bodyguardz.

The Rearth Ringke Slim is cheap, adds grip and has a spot for lanyards. Outside of lanyard cases, my personal favorite is the Magpul.

I like the Apple plastic case, it's great if you sweat enough through your pockets that leather will probably fall apart within a year or less.
