I think I've kept the same three apps in my dock since they separated podcasts from the Music app. I can't even think what I would slot down there. Maybe Google?

Does the control center remote only work for those new fat Apple TVs? My Apple TV isn't showing up and I'm wondering if that's why. I can still use the regular Remote app just fine, so I'm assuming my wifi/network stuff is all set up correctly.

That's strange I've been using it for both. try using it with the actual app then control panel

seriously that gigantic Messages header at the top of the app aggravates me every time i open it

This is a completely stupid UI decision on Apple's part and it bugs me in all the apps that it's present in.

I already know what app I just opened, why is the normal titlebar (which you get after scrolling) not good enough?

Making everything look like Apple Music isn't going to make Apple Music any more popular.

It seems like Touch ID unlocking happens a lot faster on my 7, though. So that's nice.

Fuck the DH
Mail.app has long been garbage. Gmail syncing will never work and in 10 they took away the ability to select all -> Archive/Delete for a quick and easy inbox zero. Now it just looks like garbage, as well.

I was looking into buying a used 6S but man it seems like phones are just the most horrible thing to buy from a prior owner. It's like what automobiles would be like without Carfax etc. There's two different issues that boil down to "it's stolen" and you get other people like "I really don't want you to notice that it won't charge unless you hold the cable into the jack."

If you use gmail just use inbox.

Inbox by Gmail by Google, Inc.

It’s by far the best and the grouping it does is super handy.

Just get one from Apple’s refurb store. They’re indistinguishable from new phones and you can get a 64 GB 6S for $429. Probably more than you’d pay on Craigslist but you get the peace of mind of knowing it’s never been dropped in the toilet.

Anyone else think Files.app is kinda not good? For iCloud Drive stuff it’s mostly fine, but I had hoped they’d put any effort at all into third-party storage integration. It seems like it basically just loads the third-party app on top of Files and there’s not really any consistency or interoperability between services. Oh well. Dropbox is still the best and I guess I don’t really need to use anything else.

I have a 200gb icloud account and it seems like it might be useful. I’m gonna have to play with it a bit and see how well it works.

Has anyone noticed CarPlay acting weird after this update?

Before if I was listening to my satellite radio it would play the phone sounds over the speakers like alerts and games and poo poo. Now it’s playing the sounds from the phone speakers.

Edit: well gently caress now it won’t even let me switch to another audio source while I’m playing a game. It forces the phone audio.

I think most of the Musicalike apps look pretty bad, but in this particular case that grey bar makes a little more visual sense if you see the whole screen and/or you have multiple mail accounts.

On the 7, how loud is the audio supposed to be through the earpiece when you're playing a podcast or music? I feel like mine has gotten quieter over time, but I'm not sure it's bad enough to quality for a warranty replacement.

I've been using Outlook ever since the Gmail app became garbage (probably like a year or so ago?) and it does literally everything I want an email app to with 0 issues. Also it's free. There's no compelling reason for me to use anything else.

can't restore from my backup, keeps saying

"an error occured while reading from or writing to the iphone"

which I assume is maybe the cable, but I used this cable to make the backup...

-edit think my hardisk is too close to full let me mess with that

Not that anyone cares but yeah think it was a storage thing. I guess the backups are compressed and it has to use your HDD to "unpack" or cache it before restoring it to your iphone I have no idea. I think it's silly that when it errors out it leaves all the backup files, so you're back to literally 0 HDD space. So for all the incremental amounts you free up you'll still eventually have to have the equivalent of your iphone storage backup. :thunk:

Seems like a pretty silly short-sight imo or maybe it's for a reason. Not sure how a grandma would think to go delete all the backup files itunes kept trying to make to free up the storage to do the whole drat thing in the first place.

Hell, with the mess of errors I've had backing/restoring/itunes updates over the years I have no idea what grandmas do. Just lug their whole PC to the apple store and tell them to fix it?

You can delete the Shazam app and ask Siri to "shazam this" instead.

Bonus feature found. Was listening to a podcast on the way home and my wife texted me, it played out of the speaker on the phone instead of muting the podcast to play the tone. Not sure if this was because I had Waze open or not, but it's a huge thing to me. I always have to back up everytime I get a notification because of it.
