Anyone who leaves their Clock/Calculator/Camera icons on the home screen instead of launching them through Control Center is objectively doing it wrong.

I just spent years resisting numerous Android launchers and utilities and OS mods that try to turn my notification tray from a status center into an always available alternative app launcher.

I tend to just stick by old habits until someone can show me a use case that feels like a monumental change in my workflow and then I'll adopt it. "One more empty icon spot" won't cut it for now.

The only icon I actually use in the control center is the flashlight

Back links in iOS 9.

I have been using Launcher for awhile now and I love that I can open my mail or twitter and jump back without using the home button for when I only want to check another app quickly and then go back to what I was doing


I also don't agree with putting folders in the dock. But I might be a weirdo about that anyway because I only keep three icons in there for symmetry

Can people with a 6 run a quick test for me? Go into a dark room, set your brightness to the lowest, then hit the sleep button from a semi-dark screen like your home screen or Awful app in night mode. My screen shuts off in 2 stages, first the LCD goes blank and then you can see the backlight turn off instead of both happening simultaneously. For some reason, I feel like this didn't happen before my screen replacement.

Seconding this. Especially if crossing the manhattan bridge. If I let the phone do its thing it will take almost the entire length of the bridge. Airplane mode gets it connected almost immediately.

We must take the same train because that bridge was the reason I posted about it in the first place.

You people who don't fill your first home screen are blowing my mind, surely the icons at the bottom are 800 X quicker and easier to reach than ones at the top?
I just upgraded from a 4S to a 6S. Adapting to having all that extra screen space is oddly hard!

...you should really check out Narwhal, it's got a lolmeme name and icon but the UI is the best of any Reddit client out there IMHO

I recently moved from android, and i used an app called.... Uhmm.. Reddit is fun?? I am not entirely sure, but it was similar to that. Anyway, I dont see an app called narwhal. At this point it seems like just using safari is better for reddit than using an iOS app. Reddit is fun had multiple users, night mode, loadsa poo poo for free by enabling ads. And the ads were just in-line, so, occasionally one of the reddit posts would be an ad instead of a post, so completely unobtrusive, just scroll past it.

3D Touch shortcuts for Clock and Camera don't work with Control Center.

Here's a link to Narwhal. It's got all of the features you mention except multiple users which I never really understood the point of anyway.

2 clicks takes longer than 1 click. Sometimes the icon of an app can serve as a reminder of things you planned on doing. I can barely walk through a doorframe without forgetting the task I got up for.

Tweetbot on iOS is like 5 bucks, Tweetdeck for OS X is free. Best of both worlds. Tweetbot is really pretty great on iOS because the native Twitter app is loving poo poo, but Tweetdeck owns OS X. There's nothing you can't do. I don't tweet much (or at all, really) but that's the combination that's worked for me.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
A co-worker just found a great easter egg on 9.0.2.

Make sure you have auto-correct on. Compose a text message and type in "Lardass" It should suggest "Kardashian"

It will only suggest it once. We all just tried it on our phones and it worked.

Odd, it did it after a few tries. It also suggested "Lard assistant"

I thought you were bullshitting but indeed, it does. It's probably a software bug rather than an easter egg, but still funny.
