Google isn't helping me much, does anyone know if there is a way of disabling Siri Eyes Free? When Siri is connected to my car it comes almost useless often in ways that don't make any sense, like I can't launch Spotify by voice even though I need to do that to bring up my car's native Spotify interface.

Are there any iPhone cases (iPhone SE specifically) that aren't gross, ugly poo poo?

I got my wife this one:

Which despite the name is pretty understated. It's much more matte black in real life than the hero shots imply.

I do have my eyeball on this sexy thing by them.

Love the minimalist profile and complete cut out on the bottom especially. I don't really give a poo poo about zero protection this thing has because AppleCare+, but I do care about the drat phone making a break for freedom off a table/desk that is not completely perpendicular to the pull of gravity.

Besides being bland I just feel like it will add extra bulk, and the usability of the SE based on its size is the whole reason I bought it.

I thought that this could have been something my phone was dealing with.

I have an X and we went on trips the last two weekends. When I plug my phone into the USB carport, it begins playing music (always that drat U2 song) but it barely charges. It can be plugged in for 30 mins and I only get a 2% bump.

If I plug it into my cigarette lighter port or wall port, it charges just fine. Could my USB port be slowing down the charging?

Yeah I think that's the reason my Mazda needs a hardware upgrade to support Carplay - without it the port can't provide enough power to actually stop the phone from discharging under usage.

Faded jeans are good if they are faded because you wore them. Jeans you buy faded from the store are bad.

Yeah I did the same with my 4s. Was perfect with just a 3m skin on the back. But that was pre camera bump.

I just don’t want to leave my camera glass exposed on the newer phones.

I get that Airpods are super popular, but every interaction I've had with the Apple headphones included with my phones has made me doubt them. They look about the same in shape and are so uncomfortable and fall out pretty frequently. How does Airpods fix this?

Apple Stores usually have a demo pair you can try on (and that they clean between uses) so you can see if you have a store nearby. EarPods never fit me at all but AirPods are decent, I suspect because the weight of wires aren’t pulling them down.

They don't. Well, they may fall out less since there's no cord pulling them down, but if you find EarPods uncomfortable, AirPods won't solve that.

Source: I tried AirPods for a half hour and returned them.

I never found EarPods to be especially comfortable, but the difference with AirPods was enough that I find them legit comfortable.
The real answer is: go to a store, try them on. You'll at least get a good idea as to whether you immediately find them comfortable or not, and if they end up not working, there's a 14-day return policy.

me irl.
I love AirPods and even loved EarPods but the actual part that goes into your ear is the exact same shape, it's hard to believe that it somehow becomes "more comfortable" (at least in terms of fitting within one's ear) just by transitioning to wireless.

Now, propensity to fall out of my ears? Night and loving day. EarPods fell out all the time, and I was worried the same would happen with AirPods, especially since the former at least had the cord to secure them from falling too far and also didn't cost five billion earth dollars or whatever AirPods cost. But yeah, no wire tug means AirPods stay nice and snug.™

Ok, this UI must have been designed when there were fewer than 3 things in that menu and it was easier to do. Or something.

It's incredibly difficult to actually do on my XS. Most of the time, I fail, and it just opens the menu. Some of the time, I accidentally open the camera. Occasionally, I manage to dismiss the notification!

But thanks for the tip!
