AirPods Pro: sound doesn't seem as good as my Powerbeats Pro, however, the noise cancellation, smaller case, ease of insertion, and wireless charging are all quite positive benefits over the Beats. Lack of volume buttons is a bit of a bummer, but that's a fairly minor issue since I don't tend to adjust volume *too* much. They're *vastly* more comfortable than AirPods Amateur, which is great. I'll have a better idea of how much I like them Monday when I got to the office.

Well, I have tried the Announce With Siri with my wife’s 2nd gen AirPods and they are not working (her screen is not even lighting up with a notification). I also tried to share audio but it will not connect to her AirPods (pretty much, my phone disconnects from my airpods while causing my wife’s phone to disconnect and that is it).

Tried out the AirPods Pro tonight. Coming from wired Shure IEMs I’m not blown away but they sound good. The isolation does an amazing job. I need to play with fit a little but I like them so far.

I find that earphones trigger tinnitus for me, but the Beats Solo Pros look kind of interesting. I’m curious to see how the noise canceling will stack up vs Bose and Sony.

Binary Badger posted:Are all the tempered glass shields the same? Verizon seems to be selling these weird no-name protectors now, when years ago they were selling Zagg Invisible Shields.. now they don't offer them. Sorry for the belated response, but are you going to a non corporate Verizon store? Every Verizon company store basically only pushes Zagg. They get “Verizon” branded screen protectors, but employees her higher payout for Zagg (because it’s more expensive), and Zagg is def better than the Verizon branded ones anyway, so why not recommend that in store. Screen protectors in general, mostly the same, some non brand screen protectors feel weird. If it’s a main brand it’s probably ok.

Don't buy a screen protector at the Verizon store for $40 that you can buy on Amazon for $8.

Has there always been a 1 year trial for the new TV+ service? I thought they were only giving 1 year for free to people who bought new hardware? Also it looks like not every show has all episodes released at the same time? See, For all Mankind, and the Morning Show only shows me 3 episodes but the Emily Dickinson show has 10 episodes. E: I have no idea what’s going on cause now that button just says “play/resume episode” and TV+ doesn’t show up in my subscriptions but the TV app says I’m subscribed.

For some reason since iOS 13, boarding passes don’t show up just before a flight on my friend’s iPhone X’s lock screen any more. The setting in Settings is enabled for lock screen passes to show up so we’re not really sure what’s wrong. Is this just a case of doing a full restore and hoping for the best?

Zwille posted:I only get 7 days. Jerks. The pilot episodes seem to be free for anyone though, which is nice. So I looked into it a bit more and it looks like Apple Music subscribers on a student plan get TV+ included as well. I’m only seeing this on blogs though which either all reference the same “story” (which amounts to “apple says so trust me”) and I can’t find it on Apple’s website anywhere or any mentions of it in any app. If it’s included then I guess that might explain why the button went from “subscribe for a free year” to just “play/resume episode.” My sister (on my family plan) did but a 11 Pro but she hasn’t been awake so I don’t think she enrolled.

So if you go into the Apple TV app on your phone, and scroll down to sign up for Apple TV+ it should say "Your device makes you eligible for a free year of Apple TV+ service" or something to that effect. It worked for me (launch day iPhone 11). Said it would bill me on Nov 1, 2020. I'm in the US, for reference.

Apple should have bought someone's media library or rights so they could have had more exclusive content. Kind of like how Netflix got access to Starz library for a couple of years. Certainly there's something Disney doesn't already own.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how to tell a corp from a non-corp, but going by what you're saying, it was a non corp because I didn't see Zagg -anywhere- in the store. I'd rather get the protector in the store because they said they'd put it on for me for free, and it worked out pretty well the last time I had them do it for my 7, no bubbles or dust or anything. XBenedict posted:Don't buy a screen protector at the Verizon store for $40 that you can buy on Amazon for $8. This is also true but its worth it for me to just throw the money at them rather than trying to achieve a clean room environment in my tenement apartment just to put on a glass sticker.

this probably has been asked no less than 100 times in this thread but didn't see it in the last few pages. cracked my phone's back and i'd like to replace it. is this something i can do with relative ease, or best to take it somewhere? i'm in nyc so there are plenty of spots. e: i'm also curious now if having a third party replace the back would disrupt my trade-in program membership. seems like it could? abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Nov 1, 2019 |
