Apple Maps has taken me to literally no actual location three times. I’ll drive down a road and it’ll tell me I’ve arrived. Load up Google Maps and I’m 12 minutes away or some poo poo.

the location info is definitely not as good/up to date. as someone in a major metropolitan area that doesn't run a car apple maps is more than good enough for my uses tho. i just wish they'd add biking directions/transit times

Yeah. The one reason I use Google Maps is so I can get transit directions/times. Literally that's it. Google Maps is loving tits at transit. At least in my city, it's integrated with the transit system so you know if the bus/train will be early/late. It's great.

I don’t use transit data but could you get dedicated transit apps or whatever that would add the info to Apple Maps?

Last time I tried this it just kicked me to the transit app. Lame. It’s got transit directions for my city now though so it’s all good. Google maps is still better at displaying data for that, though. Apple‘s is always just a smidgen too minimalistic.

Last time I tried it, it sucked, but that was admittedly a few years ago. I had forgotten about it. I'll try it again just for you.

I have a hard time seeing how Apple Maps can ever be as good as Google except in specific, niche circumstances.

Google just has access to so much data.


(which is problematic in all sorts of ways, and I'd prefer a different situation except I can't think of another situation where we still get all the benefits)

Can someone with an iPhone X confirm something for me? If you swipe down to bring control center down and then swipe from the bottom indicator up to close it again, do you also get a weird vibration? I get no vibration when swiping the notification shade back up or when just tapping somewhere on the control center screen. But when I swipe up all the way from the bottom my iPhone does this weird vibration.

Yeah it does that, and if you look at the bottom handle, it bops up and bounces back, which it doesn't do in any other circumstance that I've noticed. It's entirely intentional.

Owners who have the iPhone X for a month, do you miss the touch id button? Now that the iPhone X is in stock in my area, I was thinking about upgrading. The only thing I'm hesitant on is the face id unlocking. When I'm running, I tend to unlock my phone every 10-20 minutes to switch albums. With sweat and movement while running, should I worry about face id not working?

Only thing I miss is being able to unlock my phone on the nightstand without putting in my PIN. Otherwise, nope!

Sweat won't affect Face ID at all, unless you happen to be like, "slathered in Astroglide" glistening, then maybe the IR beams could get diffracted (but even still I doubt it.) It also works quite well in motion; sometimes, it'll unlock as I'm quickly pulling the phone up to my face at an angle. I imagine the average movements of running/jogging won't be a problem.

The only thing the lack of touchID and button has bothered me is whenever I go back to using my work phone I find myself swiping up when trying to close/move an app then sitting there like an idiot wondering why it isn’t working.

I don't miss the button at all. Only time it trips me up is when I'm dragging around apps and there isn't a button to close out of the jiggle icon mode instead they have a "Done" button at the top corner.

Nah just do the 'go home' gesture, like you would push the Home button. Didn't even notice the Done button.

Thanks. It also makes a weird rattling sound when doing that though. No other vibration from the Taptic engine does that. Only the vibration from the control center...

I got mine setup already and even linked my bank account to it. It appears you need a debit card linked to Apple Pay in order to add cash to it. You can add a bank directly (routing/account numbers) in order to transfer money to the bank.

I'm really digging my iPhone X.. had it for almost a full week now.

I've only encountered one weird bug, with the OS refusing to rotate out of landscape mode. A reboot fixed it.

I hope Apple comes up with a better way to activate control center, maybe with a force-press on the app switcher bar at the bottom? That upper-right swipe is tough, and I used CC all the time.

yep. and i have connection problems to my macs (work iMac 5k, and home MacBook). Apple store replaced my buds but not the charging case and I have no idea what the gently caress is going on.

I'm extremely tempted to call amex and see if they'll replace them because im fed up.

Pivo
Aug 20, 2004


Hm. I haven't had any connection problems, just the volume thing. Amex's extended warranty / insurance should be pretty legit, but if Apple's warranty is still active, what would you claim? I haven't tried it with my Amex but when I claimed my laptop against my renter's insurance, they needed a repair order with a value attached to process the claim. Based on accounts I've read of people using it, it's similar - you show them a receipt for an out of warranty repair, for example.

I'm going to chalk it up to them being busy with the holiday rush. So if his shot keeps up I'm going to go back and ask for a battery case repair. I just get a spinning connect circle on my devices sometimes or the volume icon dance on my macs and it'll take a few minutes to connect.

Meanwhile my QC35s connect instantaneously. It's infuriating and I'm out of the return window by a lot.

Something I haven't thought about since the release of the iPhone 5, but is it safe to buy third party lightning cables these days? I just snapped the usb on my last one and I'd rather just grab one from the grocery store or a gas station vs paying $25 or however how much they are now. I just remember that buying third party was a horrible idea back when they switched over from the 30 pin thing.
