Boris Galerkin posted:There’s a current Hacker News thread that just seems to be a bunch of grandpas complaining about how hard it is to use an iPhone. Like what the gently caress? Dude, a good portion of that generation just refuses to learn how to use new technology. It’s probably just an age thing, but still. I deal every day with “I’ve never had a password” , “I don’t have an Apple ID,” and “how can I be expected to setup this phone?” I’m even ok with the “I don’t want to learn how to work this” as long as you accept the consequences that, in a world orienting more towards using these tools for everything, you may occasionally be inconvenienced. But most expect it both ways: I want the convenience of a smartphone, but I want others to do everything for me.

The best is when some boomer wants help retrieving their Apple ID and has literally no idea what the password is, or the recovery emails password, or literally anything else

My in-laws have two iphones and share the same icloud account because my mother in law didn't know how to create a new icloud account.

Old people behavior is a big mystery to you now but wait until you're that old! There's gonna be a lot of 'oh gently caress this is not fun.'

I work in IT and our company gives everyone an iPhone. I'd say probably 80% of our users don't know their AppleID password or even what their AppleID is for.

So many gen Xers slipping into full conservative second they rolled over to 40 is about an object lesson of this as it gets because we have media (often of those same people!) claiming it would never happen to them that is easily accessible.

Anyway, there's no way I'm reading that whole thread but the first comment seemed reasonable. Scroll indicators in particular have been a problem for a while and it's a bit off that they haven't made a return now that phones are hueg.

I know I'm starting to get old, but switching from the Pro Max from the S10 has been a lesson in ergonomics. Being able to map a quick down+left swipe from the right side of the screen for reachability reasons is the biggest thing I miss from the S10. The constantly hand shuffling of the wider and heavier pro max is giving me burning carpal tunnel on my thumb.

Swipe right to get an archive button, left to reply, delete, or move. To be honest I never even noticed that the bottom bar in the email app even changed until just now. The first thing I ever noticed in the new email app was the swipe gestures and it’s just intuitive for me because it’s the exact same gesture you can do from the inbox.

Boris Galerkin posted:You can just swipe? Swipe right to get an archive button, left to reply, delete, or move. I suppose this works if I have the "move message" set as my swipe-left action , but why make the change? You have hidden a button off screen, yet the bar on which it used to reside is still there, because you still have buttons, because they're essential UI components. It's also more inconsistency. If I keep swiping to the left form the inbox, the email will delete/archive, but if I keep swiping left within the message, nothing happens. It just bounces back. One gesture, same context, two behaviors. This also has shown up in Gmail since I updated to iOS 13.  You can remove it, but as soon as you archive a message, it shows back up.

Maybe pay the $30 or whatever for a new battery on your 7 and hold off, 2020 should be a bigger update.

Not a fan of the price buuuut I’ll probably own these sometime by early 2020. AirPods are so good to me and if these sound even better then it’s an obvious purchase for me.

I'll probably buy them in the Holiday season and hand-me-down my Gen 1 Airpods to my 11 year old to use with his beautiful $50 Lumia phone from five years ago. One day he'll get a hand-me-down iPhone.

hosed up they caved to the pressure from loose-eared whiners and went with rubber It doesn’t look like they added enough to change the fit, though. Maybe the tulip bulb shape will help.
