Just noticed something on my Max. If I'm playing certain 30fps 4K videos I recorded and double tap to zoom in, the phone will crash/respring within a few seconds every time. This only happens if I am holding the phone in the same orientation the video was shot in (ie, if I watch a landscape video in portrait it doesn't happen). Some videos play fine but I can't see any pattern to it.

Does this happen for anyone else?

Heads up for people buying cases online. The “Lavender Grey” case is super purple in person. Looks nothing like the Apple image online.

Speaking of the silicone cases, are they super tacky grime magnets? Or can normal (not goon) levels of cleanliness muck it up?

Any of you dudes or dudettes figured out a shortcut for turning off HomeKit scenes (in this case hue bulbs.)

I have one set up. It worked once but now just hangs. It’s basically just a “turn off all these lights scene.”

But it doesn’t seem to want to work.

OK, I’ll just get one then to use in the car. Because while I have a tray to use the phone with a six inch lightning cable for Car Play (Sony unit being delivered Tues) testing has shown the leather case flies off into the passenger side foot well when you even *think* about turning left.

I may end up getting a slightly longer cable and using the cup holder (which I don’t want to, but if it works)

I definitely dodged a bullet with this one. Grey looks really cool. Purple for me not so much.

I thought wallet had maxed out brightness for any type of scannable code since it appeared. I very much remember it doing that for any barcode since iOS 6. Unless plane tickets were an exception since I am “poor” and do not take flights very often.

Yeah, pretty sure it’s done it forever. I noticed recently that it stopped increasing the brightness of the app when you’re only browsing wallet items without having one pulled up, so the increase in brightness might be more obvious now.

Same thing happen with the previous year Dark Olive case. In person it was actually grey.

Edit: that Forrest Green case is nice looking. I know there are slight differences in the camera bump, but can a XS case fit the X without any issues? They have pretty much taken all Apple X cases off the store.

With this new phone I’m taking more and more pictures, but am starting to get annoyed with the native photos app on IOS. I get that I can make albums and tag pics for them, but I dislike how all the pictures I take or import are jumbled together in “all photos” with no way to sort them, even by date. Is there a better way to curate photos or a better app?

There's nothing to see. It'll only be evident on an iPhone (maybe only iPhone X and up?) running iOS 12, and even still, it's pretty subtle. Colors just look a lil muted/washed out.

The fact that they give you literally unlimited free cloud storage for your photos is icing on the cake.

I use the “run a scene” action with scenes I made that have the lights off. I’m not sure if that’s what you already wrote but I noticed sometimes it takes a bit longer to respond but it works flawless.

Gender roles guilt me into being fat.
Anybody have an issue after getting their new phone that iTunes won't recognize their new phone?

My 8 would sync over wifi and it could also connect via cable. When I tried to apply my phone backup from my computer to my new Xs, my phone would connect for a split second then disconnect. So, I backed up from iCloud.

Now when I try to connect to iTunes, iTunes won't recognize it. I don't remember if the iPhone should also appear as a desktop icon, but it does not appear there. The device is getting power from the computer, and when I go into System Information > USB it shows the iPhone under USB Bus 3.0.

I had the same problem during the beta. For whatever reason some people (I have the same MacBook and was on High Sierra and the latest version [at the time] iTunes as well, so maybe that's the reason) are affected by a bug where the necessary drivers for ios12 never get installed. There were a few work-arounds that I tried that didn't work (I did not try installing the latest XCode, but I tried all the other ones I googled) but ultimately I had to go ahead and install Mojave beta to get access again.

I am seeing conflicted reports that iOS11 restored push notifications for gmail, is that the case for iOS12 as well? I can't seem to find any definitive answers. I want to step away from Edison and just go back to iOS Mail, but I' like to keep push notifications.

The scene in HomeKit does what it should when I press the button, but it states “failed” in red when I press it. Maybe it doesn’t like a light that is unreachable or something? Shrug. Will scale back lights until it works (if it works) and see if that helps...

[Ed] and with zero alteration it works today. Wonder if it’s HomeKit just being homekitty.

[Ed2] and attempting it a second time it doesn’t work. Whatever. Not my fault, I guess.

I've had a white one and believe it or not - it's still nearly pristine after a full year of use. The bottom corners has the white stuff peeling a bit but otherwise it's great and not sticky at all.

I'd recommend getting it!

I didn't bother wiping it to show how it can get after being in a pocket. That all wipes off easily though. I am surprised a white case remained this clean - this thing repels dirt!

I installed icloud on my computer and the addon for outlook, but when my secretary sends me meeting it doesn't go on the icloud calendar. There does not seem to be a way to make the icloud calendar the automatic calendar.

The other option I found online is to use itunes, but then I gotta 1) install itunes and 2) connect my phone to my computer to sync it. It's 2018, I am not using a cable dammit.

Just add another email account in the phone and select exchange and enter your deets. I use Fantastical to manage my calendar, but it absolutely needs it to be present in Settings>Passwords & Accounts.

It will create a new Inbox (and folders) for Exchange in Mail.app and the Exchange Calendar to Calendar.app. It will also sync Notes and ToDos if you want.

E: This all presupposes your messaging team allows you access your exchange server with phones/tablets.

I don't work for Apple or anything but I imagine it updates somewhat regularly. I know a lot of people check the inventory the night before/early night when they want to buy a phone, so I think it's safe to say it updates at least once a day.

They tend to update once in the morning (local) when they get a shipment. I'm pretty sure they only get one per day and the store doesn't know what will be on it.
