Why is carplay so full of jank?

e: Adding to this carplay maps wants to take me to the same destination every time it loads. I've never been to where it wants to nav and I don't know where it's getting that destination from.

It will randomly blank the screen out and stop reponding to touch or buttons on the console requiring an unplug or plug in, (using google music) random ui oddities like sticking, and the obvious map bug in my edit.

It's all running on my (iPhone SE) and the phone is not lagging at all due to an old batt.

My iPhone just was randomly not being recognized as hooked up to my Car Play capable car. I'd have to shut the car off and try again. I thought it was my new car but then I updated my phone to the 11.3 Beta from what ever the current public release is and I haven't had a single issue. So uh guess Apple is loving their own poo poo up?

In other news I am a big homo who can't stop buying portable Apple crap. I just bought some Beats Studio3 Wireless over the ear headphones with active noise cancelling and they are cool and good and shiny and red. I now own AirPods, Beats X, and Beats Studio3.

I had Power Beats3 for about 2 hours until my wife came home and stole them. Which led me to buying AirPods and loving them, then down the line I still wanted to try in ears so I got the Beats X cheap refurbed from BB. Now for some reason I decided I needed wireless headphones(wanted really good wireless sound, figured out I'm not huge on in ears).

The coolest part is they're doing it in software, the lenses really aren't doing much different now than 5+ years ago.

During the announcement they were very clear it was 'ten' and when they were demoing it to the media they specifically told them to say 'iPhone Ten'.

in high school a more wealthy friend had a small lovely non-flip phone with a little camera attachment that we never used to take terrible pics, because you're relying on remembering to bring said attachment. Portrait mode sure is good at reminding one at how ugly you are though, yikes.

I mean maybe not different now per-se but isn't the lack of portrait mode a hardware limitation...? (dual lens camera found in the + models and X only) plus I guess processor speeds? Idk I don't know poo poo about all this stuff but I'm guessing there's more to it than just software

at least they aren't tripping over themselves to just push out a lovely camera with THE MOST MEGAPIXELS ON A PHONE YET 24,00000 MEGA loving PIXELS

Yes, the phone needs both lenses to pull it off. It's doing some magic by comparing two photos taken from different perspectives to measure depth in the scene, and blurring portions that it determines to be in the background.

On a full size camera all you have to do is make the aperture really big and zoom in. But Apple was all "uh we don't got room for a telephoto so let's do this with code."

It's pretty cool.

preface all my posts with this
I just got the 8 plus after years of android. My last iPhone was the 5S, which I hated since it seemed super slow after the release of the 6. I'm hoping that, with the same A11 as the X, that won't happen this time.

I love TouchID just as much now as I did on the 5S, but I kind of hate the lack of a real button. Is it using the same vibration motor as the MacBook touchpad that no longer clicks in? It's weirdly satisfying for not being an actual clickable button.

I never liked the non-physical button and always felt the vibrating motor thing would break long before a mechanical button (i know that's probably not why they changed it but I digress)

Mechanical home button and headphone jack are why the 6S was the best iPhone all the way up to X release.

Yeah I assume they do it b/c the mechanical button was one of the most likely parts of the old iPhones to break

I was just surprised because, while I'm sure I had read at some point that they had gotten rid of an actual button on the iPhone, the iPad Pro I got a month ago has a button so I just sort of assumed the 8 would have the same feature. Not a dealbreaker or anything, was just sort of surprising.

I think it was China where everyone had the accessibility on screen button turned on, because they were so paranoid the actual button would wear out. I think one model had that issue, but it was resolved and never affected the majority of people using this daft workaround.

I upgraded from a 5s to an 8 and I’m really liking it. Touch ID has felt less picky, but maybe I don’t have enough time to say definitively.

I just noticed the live photo feature- is there a way to save them as gif or video?

Lively on the App Store should do what you want- it automatically selects all the Live Pictures you took and lets you auto export them as GIFs or Movies (MP4s.)
Free, but all GIFs get a watermark stamped on them, in-app purchase to remove the watermark.

Motion Stills, by Google lets you convert Live Pictures to GIFs, and add 'Motion Text' and emoji that follows objects on screen.. only mentioning it out of completeness..
Free, but you know, Google..

Second-generation Touch ID on your 8 is vastly better than first-gen on your 5S, so it's probably not just in your head.

There's an app called Motion Stills by Google that will turn live photos into GIFs.

I like "Motion Stills" from the app store. also lets you stabilize and reverse the animation.
