Man I hope the SE gets a refresh next year. I think an SE with wireless charging and waterproofing would be pretty amazing.

wicka posted:I cannot for the life of me think of a single example of Apple replacing a well-liked feature, like Touch ID, with something new that sucked. But I can think of a lot of times that simple-minded folks panicked because they are scared by change. Apple is almost at the same place as Microsoft, who can’t change a single thing about Windows without the world ending. Think harder! wicka posted:Apple Maps is still unusably bad, at least for turn-by-turn navigation. wicka posted:Its a lot better than it used to be, but it is still not good, and it is just a sad pit of despair compared to Google Maps or Waze. It’s literally dangerous to use for navigation.

OldSenileGuy posted:I hate to interrupt the slap fight, but I installed iOS 11 on my iPhone 7 on Tuesday and my battery life suuuucks now. Also half the time when I pick up the phone it’s red hot. Hopefully there’s an 11.1 or something update coming not long after the official release. The first bit typically happens the first few days of any major OS update for reindexing or some bullshit. The second part is maybe solved here? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8064597?start=0&tstart=0

[quote="“Pivo”" post="“476405809”"] to be fair you can’t use the screen with gloves either [/quote] It’s not like, the most important use case, but I can use the screen with etip gloves, but can’t use the TouchID sensor. This basically only matters when I am on a chairlift and want to check my email without freezing my loving fingers off. Then again I can just use a passcode so not a huge deal either way (kind of like the desk example.)

Nah, touchID didn't remove anything, it was an addition, most people were pretty stoked it looked to work so well its genuinely one of the few actual "apple waits and does it better" because it still smokes most/all other print scanners faceID can be literally instant and it'd still be lame as you have to hold the phone at yourself to work it

Elon Musk is the closest to a breathing Steve Jobs we have, and he has set his sights a bit higher than pocket computers. Until we get someone who can see fringe technology and decide it needs to be packaged in a personal device and also has the bankroll to make it happen, we're gonna be stuck with iterative improvements on our phones.

Is there any compelling reason to get the Apple TV 4K over the regular/base model if I don't have a 4K+HDR TV (or any plans of getting one any time soon)? Is it sufficiently faster/does it have a lot more RAM/any other reason that might make it worth springing for the better model at 1080p (if I don't have an Apple TV already)?

If you have a good surround system, the audio support is wayyyyyyy improved. I’d get the 4K and then you’re good for a long time.

How long does it usually take for phones to be readily available after launch if I don't preorder? Like when will I be able to just walk into an Apple Store and walk out with an 8/8+?

Did they make changes to how WiFi turns on/off with known networks with iOS 11 GM? I'm used to turning it off when I leave the apartment, on when I get to work, off leaving work, on at home. However, today I realized it turned itself back on multiple times after turning it off in the CP. Nothing in Settings to indicate that. Battery life seems a bit less than before but I'll see what it's like after a week or so of use.

The best I've found is that in the Do Not Disturb settings there's a dropdown for "Do not disturb while driving" labeled Activate with the choices "Automatically" "When Connected to Car Bluetooth" and "Manually." Manually does not stop that notification, but I haven't gotten it using the Bluetooth option yet. Grassy Knowles fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Sep 15, 2017 |

"Turning WiFi off" in IOS11 is meant to disassociate you from the network, but leave Wifi itself on.

So um... I'm feeling pretty good about going with the iPhone 8 right about now.  https://www.macrumors.com/2017/09/14/iphone-x-notch/ That's hideous. Everything about the notch looks janky and awful.

BGrifter posted:So um... I'm feeling pretty good about going with the iPhone 8 right about now. This is a little concerning, some of that stuff looks pretty bad but some of it looks just fine. Fortunately, because there is a screen there, they can change the behavior in software and make the notch 'disappear' in use by making it a solid black bar across the notch when you put it in landscape, and keep the notch in portrait mode where they act as designated indicator space for the the carrier/clock/battery area. Hell, you could even have the notch area serve as a dedicated quick scroll bar when used in landscape mode, where its black (stealth notch mode) and when you drag your finger up/down it, it scrolls super fast. That would be neat.

I was worried the iPhone X would outshine the 8 and I'd feel like I was getting "the second best iPhone" ever made. After seeing it the X feels like both the worse phone and the more expensive phone. It's the single port MacBook all over again. I get what they were striving for, but it needs to go back in the oven for year or two.
