When upgrading my phone it didn't bring my custom ringtones over like it had for like the past 2000 versions of iOS.

It's stuck at 1% haha. Gonna be a while I guess.

I thought something was wrong with my phone for a while before realizing I forgot to swap the sim from my 6S plus to this new one. I'm very smart.

I decided to embrace the new iPhone experience and use the EarPods again. I... like them? They sound very nice, mainly for pack ins. I won't lie, they definitely make me more interested in AirPods. Has anyone used those successfully during workouts?

My buddy just messaged me that he gave them a test drive today for his workout. Some cardio, but mostly strength training and he said they worked very well.

I'm still waiting on mine to arrive.

Nice!

My main concern is doing kettlebell swings. For that the AirPods need to pretty much be headbang proof. My ears do seem to hold onto the wired ones alright at least.

Yeah, I'm not sure how vigorous his head movements are since he mostly does elliptical for cardio and barbells (chest, dead, power cleans, etc...) for strength.

Upgrading iOS on the same phone will keep the ringtones, but if you got a new phone, you can drag them on to iTunes to get them back. I just did this on my 8+. It even remembered what tones I had set for what events once they were back in.

Click on the phone in iTunes and drag the m4r files on top of Tones. Fortunately all the tone files were still where they were on the hard disk.

UPS is the loving worst, I hate that Apple insists on using them. They didn't even attempt delivery today after driving around town all day with my iPhone 8 in the back. They refuse to let me pick it up at a UPS store or the depot until they fail a delivery attempt, which they always do because the drivers slap the door tag on and run away without making any attempt to buzz into the building.

Next possible attempt will be Monday. But they drive around doing all the business deliveries first and don't even try to deliver residential packages unless there's extra time at the end of the day. So it might be till Tuesday or Wednesday till I get that magic failed attempt that lets me go pick it up. :sigh:

I probably should have just drove 4+1/2 hours to the Apple Store in Vancouver and 4+1/2 hours home rather than take my chances with UPS.

The only time an AirPod has ever fallen out of my ears is when I got into my car and my left shoulder scrunched up. Shoulder movement with a head tilt. However my left ear doesn’t fit as well as my right, so YMMV.

They do make magnetic cords to keep your AirPods on a leash. Although I wonder if that would make matters worse (one dropping out makes both fall out). Also, it’s the technological equivalent of a back alley abortion.

Also, gently caress Apple and their loving chargers. My AirPod case will not charge via a PC USB port or using one of the two chargers in my car. I get it, my iPad takes too much juice to charge from every source, but my AirPods case shouldn’t need more power than my phone.

I've been at 1% for several hours now. How does it work exactly - is it going to render thumbnails to go in photos and then download the images if I tap one? My old phone was 256gb so I just did whatever but I only got a 64gb 8+ so I'm hoping that it isn't going to download everything since I don't even know how to stop it from doing so.

Something might be wrong with your charging case. Mine charges plenty fast even plugged into my monitor's USB hub.

I think stuff like mass photo restores from iCloud Photo Library only goes into full swing when plugged into power and locked.

Since you're down to 64GB now (can't wait for my next upgrade! Bring 128GB back Tim, you gently caress) go to Settings > Photos and select "Optimize phone storage" over "Download and keep originals." The way this works is, full resolution photos will remain on your phone until you get low on storage (something like 10-15%.) At that point, Photos will start purging pictures as needed, leaving lower resolutions on the phone, and the full resolution in the cloud storage.

I don't know how this setting applies to restoring from cloud storage, though. It may download the low resolution images/thumbnails and that's it, or it may download everything if it determines it wouldn't strain your free space.

Ok, so how does buying a phone outright or via payment work these days? I got my current one second hand, and before that it was the carrier two year subsidized

What's the most easiest and economical option if I have t-mobile? As I understand most all carriers and apple both have payment plans, or you can buy it outright. Does it matter which option I pick?

It depends if you want to pay it all now or over 2 years through device payments at 0% interest. The only main factor would be if a carrier is doing a trade-in special to reduce the overall cost.

If it matters to you, doing Apple Upgrade Program, Apple will toss in AppleCare+ at least.

As I recall they don't toss it in so much as they include it as a mandatory fee and spread it out over 24 months.

the phones come with an oleophobic coating from the factory that wears off over time, it was probably gone on the 7+ and now it's fresh on the new one

I have a 7 so I think I'll make more just selling it myself. It's unlocked, anyways.

I don't mind either way but in the end when all is said and done which option is the cheapest? AppleCare is cool but if you pay for it :shrug:

Just traded off 7+ to 8+. Doing some side by side shot compares I really like the camera tweaks. A lot more depth and less blown out color in shots.

I took some poo poo pics today but I can post some examples tomorrow. Though maybe not if the internet is filled with them because I haven't looked.

Also, MeasureKit is garbage. I've measured a bunch of things and it's nowhere even near the ballpark of being correct. I am not 15.8" tall, nor do I have a 56' monitor.

I suppose, but it's nice to have piece of mind just taking a phone with issues to the Apple Store than dealing with Asurion for an extra 4-5 bucks a month. You'd certainly get a new phone faster.

Getting some AirPods battery issues. If I take them out, put them on a table and leave them out of the case, they seem to be losing about 5-10% an hour with nothing playing. Not sure if they're connected/disconnected completely via BT but not sure why that should affect battery so much? Any ideas?

I assume this is greater than normal expected battery use.

Googled to no avail. Already tried the reset button, no dice.

Old Town Road to EGOT

Do you guys know of a good reliable car phone mount for the 7+? I just got the iOttie Easy One Touch XL from Amazon today and I'm already having to return it because I drove with it earlier and my phone loving fell out of it on like 3 separate occasions while I was driving.

Now, I also live in New Orleans where the roads are complete poo poo because the city doesn't take care of them at all, so there are bumps everywhere. I guess what I need is a sturdy one with solid build quality.

I've now gone through 3 of them in the past year. My last one had rubber pieces on the sides that held the phone in place and one of the rubber pieces kept coming off. I superglued it back on and that didn't even hold.

I just want one that actually holds up and does what it's supposed to do even under the harsh conditions I'm driving in.
