Okay thanks for the input thread. Will pick up the AirPods Pro with AppleCare + and buy the SE now rather than waiting.

FCKGW posted:Unless the new phones are the same price as the SE it will have zero affect on price. The first iPhone SE's price dropped by $50 when the iPhone 8 & iPhone X were announced. edit: Although if you are going to buy the AirPods Pro, I suspect that you aren't really that price-sensitive when it comes to consumer electronics. Just buy the phone now instead of waiting on a speculative price drop. silence_kit fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Aug 13, 2020 |

I mean we are kinda close enough that unless you absolutely needed a new phone now waiting isn’t a bad idea.

Only buy cheap poo poo from amazon like toilet paper. It is infested with chinese drop shippers selling scam goods. Although when millions of people get rear end cancer from amazon asbestos toilet paper there wont be any liability for law suits. cowofwar fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Aug 13, 2020 |

Endless Mike posted:The bigger issue here is Apple refurbs give you a full warranty, and Apple's refurbishment replaces everything you touch. Ones purchased on Amazon are wiped down, made sure they turn on, and stuck in a box. I’m talking about things from 3rd party sellers on Amazon, not things sold by Amazon directly. Never ever buy anything from any on Amazon. Seconded that eBay is a better option.

Just issue a CC chargeback if you don't get a refund right away. It's way less hassle than trying to follow up with 3rd party sellers multiple times.

Could a reduced battery level (85% battery health) affect an iPhone’s LTE data usage? My Verizon LTE will show two bars of signal but I cannot do anything (speed test will fail to connect). A few blocks away I can get 2mbps with 2 bars. But then it is dead connection again with 2 bars still. It has only started happening in the last 2 months or so and it has started happening to my wife’s phone (86% health). They checked our tower with no issue. They replaced our SIM cards and it is still happening.

Bizarro Kanyon posted:Could a reduced battery level (85% battery health) affect an iPhone’s LTE data usage? You could check your settings to make sure data roaming is turned on (probably not the issue, but worth a shot), LTE is selected instead of 4G, and it's not trying to connect to some Wifi network. If that fails, it's either a question for Apple (or a restore, or a reset network settings) because it's some weird software thing, or an issue with your local tower. If you know someone else on the same carrier, see if they can connect where you're having trouble.

I have an iPhone 8. Back when I had an iPhone 3, I used to be able to plug it into my computer, then move photos I had taken off the phone and to my computer. Because of PROGRESS, how to do that simple thing anymore eludes me. Is there some way to get files and photos from the phone to a computer it is physically plugged into without needing to loving send them over the Internet?

Speaking of things that should be simple between an iPhone and a PC. Doesn’t anyone have an issue when syncing an iTunes library to an iPhone where some songs just won’t sync? As in they’ll show up on my iPhone but when I click play nothing happens. Sometimes if I change something in the ID3 tags and re-sync and do that a few times over the song will start working again. The mp3 is there, and it plays just fine in iTunes on my computer, just something about the sync process messes up and there’s no way to find out which songs broke until I try to play them on my phone.

Photos are shown only if the computer is authorized(unlock the phone and you will see a popup). Generic files on the other hand you are better off moving them to a file locker service(onedrive/google drive/dropbox/etc.) using the files app.

I was doing that yesterday and for some reason it took a few minutes before any of the actual photo folders showed up. I do believe you need iTunes installed as well. Also note that settings on the phone might dictate if you see HEIC or JPG pictures. Windows 10 with the latest updates can view HEIC.

So 33% of my iPhones storage belongs to “Other” It’s unclear how to get rid of this data. If I format my phone and then restore it from a backup, will all the “Other” data restore as well? Or is my only option to reformat the phone and manually add all the apps back one by one?

I'll give the restore a try. I do a backup to my computer through itunes, should be quick. I literally deleted a bunch of photos, got it down to 62.3 GB of used storage. Haven't done anything, checked again, it's up to 62.5 GB. WTF.

Don't use iCloud and don't restore from old phones and just generally don't use Apple apps or services, keeps the Other low

sourdough posted:Don't use iCloud and don't restore from old phones and just generally don't use Apple apps or services, keeps the Other low I never used iCloud or any of the Apple apps and 'Other' kept filling up the storage on my 7 Plus. Backup to a PC then restore would fix it for a week or so but I never found a permanent fix. I figure it was just Apples way of saying I should have sprung for additional storage.

I have an issue where if I take multiple pictures, only the first one will get added to Photos. The rest will be viewable in the little camera roll in the bottom left of the camera app, but any options will be greyed out. If you close the app and reopen it, everything except the first picture will disappear. Anyone else seen this before?

It feels to me like “other” is a lot of junk data that builds up from using really old backups. It went away for me after starting from scratch for my latest phone.

For once when I plugged it in and unlocked it, I actually got the pop-up which let me open files or upload photos. It seems to be extremely finicky about appearing even if the phone is unlocked.

It didn't even come up until I checked for an update, usually it asks me when it's ready. Probably didn't have enough storage to download the update
