I mean, you can look at them in your iCloud photo library too.

Your best bet would be to just use Google Photos though and clear that space off your phone, I can't imagine installing updates is a whole lot of fun when you have 8800 photos on your phone.

Damn, this is good coffee.
One minor new annoyance (to me at least) is that adjusting ringer volume with buttons within the sounds menu actually plays the ring sound now. Makes sense logically but I liked being able to turn up the volume without it actually making a noise.

so just use the volume buttons? even with mute off, when no audio is playing, volume up/down changes ringer without previewing your ring

Assuming you’re using iCloud Photo Library, go to Settings / Photos and switch Optimize Storage to Download and Keep Originals. Then plug it in and wait.

Unless you have "Change with Buttons" turned off in Settings > Sounds > Ringer and Alerts.

I leave my phone on vibrate 99% of the time, and anytime I turn the ringer on it's because I really want to be alerted to a call so I just leave the ringer set to max volume. For me, it's nice to know the volume buttons only affect system volume and never ringer volume.

I think we've reached peak iPhone supply. A gold 8+ that wasn't supposed to arrive until the end of the month is being delivered to my home tomorrow.

Unlike peak oil, peak iPhone means there will no longer be shortages* because no one cares anymore and Johnny Ives is trying desperately hard to slit his own wrists with the far too rounded corners of the latest iPhone**.

wow, that's a thing? did Apple turn that off by default at some point? Volume = Ringer has been true for me for as long as I've had an iPhone :O In fact I remember it was a big complaint people had, they'd turn down their volume and were annoyed it turned down their ringer.

Well, anyhow... I guess if you flip that switch ...

Yeah, my 64GB Space Grey 8 said Sept 30th-Oct 10 when I ordered it from T-Mobile (which was fine) but it's coming tomorrow instead. I think that everyone anticipated more demand for the 8 than they got. Guess that's what happens when you put out a device that's an iteration (albeit a good iteration) alongside the announcement of a real game changer!

Me, I just wanted to go back to iOS. My LG V20's battery and performance went to poo poo almost overnight, and I realized I'm never gonna get regular updates on it (and I don't want to get back into the rooting/flashing scene). Out of curiosity, I dug out my wife's three-year-old iPhone 6, put iOS 11 on it, and it was running smoother and nearly as fast as my top-of-the line, year old V20 ever did. Which was kinda the death knell for any thoughts that Android was better for me than iOS.

As for why the 8: the wireless charging and True Tone, plus the $300 in bill credits T-Mobile is giving me for the old 6 I'm using in the interim, was enough for me to go for the it compared over the 6S or 7. Bill credits aren't great (compared to a straight discount) but by the time the 8's paid off the third generation iPhone X will be coming out, and that'll be a nice upgrade.

I'm kind of surprised because here in Norway iPhone supply always seemed to be extremely limited for the first few months (at least back in the 3G-4s days, which was when I last owned iPhones), and it was even a queue at my carrier's preorder. I half-expected to haing to wait two weeks or so, but luck and fortune prevailed

"I GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR MY IPHONE X SO I MODDED MY PHONE (Redditor has cut a piece of electrical tape in the shape of the brow and stuck it to the front of their 7+)"

No, that's exactly the problem, it plays the ring now when you use the volume buttons, even when your phone is on silent/vibrate. Before it only previewed the sound when you used the slider on the touchscreen.

new control center is great on paper but poor on execution, they missed a lot of little things to make it good. I prefer the old one, especially for using my phone to DJ via spotify with the album art etc etc. I know someone in this thread has complained about that like five times now, with due reason

How the gently caress do I check the battery life on my beats now that they removed the battery bar from the top? I can’t swipe the control center like before.

huh? There was never a battery bar at the top. My jaybirds have a battery bar at the top next to the bluetooth thing, which is cool, and I wish the beatsx did.

Anyways there's a widget for batteries and it'll show up there. Aside from plugging them into your computer I don't think there's any other way 🤔

Well I mean the power beats 2 had the bar and they removed it for these new versions.

I didn’t think to check the widget so I guess that will Work but on iOS 10 you could swipe the control center and see it.

What happens (to Marcus) if you bring up the control center then tap the arcs in the top right corner of the music box? When it shows the beatsx as an audio device, does it show the battery % under it? (It does with airpods).

Not that that’s more convenient than swiping to the battery widget.

Does it? I just checked and no battery indicator on my AirPods.

I use the widget anyway and because of the AirPods case I never run out of battery power. But I can see where this would be annoying as hell.

It does, yes. It's not as useful as showing in the status bar or with one swipe, sadly.

I really preferred when apple released interesting and polished but flawed new features that they fixed over time. I feel like their new MO is actually removing things that people like and that work for new, flawed features. Like how do you gently caress up a wifi toggle? And why even change long standing functionality that everyone understands. Nobody was complaining that they wished the wifi toggle didn't actually turn off wifi.

There's like a 0% chance it's legit. Just (as QoP said) buy a charger from someone reputable. I dunno if Anker stuff is available there, but they're my go-to for pretty much everything.

Based on the seller and price, and just the product title in general, I would lean sharply away from that.

Honestly, the only 3rd party chargers I'd trust would be Anker. Otherwise I've ordered replacements direct from Apple. I don't want my house to burn down because of a cheap wall wart.

Yeah, for both the pods and the case.

But, my airpods are currently connected to my phone and they’re in their case. On my phone, the battery levels show up, but on my iPad the airpods don’t show up at all until I flip open the case. Which seems reasonable.
