In the meantime, I got a bit of seawater in the headphone jack this morning and now it is stuck in headphone mode. All other functions are fine. This happened to my 6 once, and leaving it in airplane mode for 45-60 min somehow did the trick.

I noticed when the mask thing first started that my phone couldn’t unlock itself with Face ID while I was wearing a mask. Now my phone can recognize my face now while I’m wearing the same mask. Did something change in iOS or Face ID?

Yeah, it is supposed to be looking for eyes, nose, and mouth, not an arbitrary shape where your face should be.

I mean I'm skeptical of Face ID improperly authenticating on any one rando phone, that would be an issue to say the least. Are you really sure that's what's happening? I'm guessing the fail condition for a broken sensor is to not allow you in, which is why that's confusing.

Hmm just re-did the Face ID and it seems to be working properly again. That’s so weird though.

In layman’s terms, how much better is the camera in the big phones compared to the new SE? I have the old SE now and want to upgrade everything, to include the camera quality. Do you think I will be happy with the new SE camera?

Do you think I will be happy with the new SE camera? The big ones give 2 more lens (.5 and x2) and they’re also much better in low light. The new SE will still be a huge update for you and it has some very welcome features such as portrait mode.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but does anyone have a thermometer that they like that sync's up to HealthKit? I'm having some health issues and my doctor wants me to track my temperature multiple times a day for the next few weeks. The thermometer on Apple's site is 100 bucks (wtf) and also, according to reviews, requires you to make an account with the people that make the thermometer and sync the thermometer to that account in order to get your information into HealthKit. Now, it's possible those reviews are wrong. It wouldn't be the first time i've seen wildly inaccurate information in Amazon reviews. But I'd really like one that just sync's with HealthKit fullstop, without any intermediaries. OldSenileGuy fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Aug 28, 2020 |

this company seems to sync with healthkit, but they tried to get me to log in just to even look at support pages so you're probably still going to have annoying accounts https://www.kinsahealth.co/products/#buynow

Is there a single reason as to why asking your phone to do the update overnight is such a crap shoot? It works now and again, but 90% of the time it'll ask my permission to update at 4am or something, I'll give it, wake up in the morning and its still on the old version.

If you are willing to do it manually, buy a cheap regular thermometer and then you can use the Shortcuts app to make a little widget that you'll just enter your temp into. I do this to enter my bike rides.

It’s always worked flawlessly for me... do you have a strong WiFi connection where the phone is at night / Plug the phone in? I know there’s a few things it checks for before it’ll try to update.

Wifi should be decent enough where it is and I put it in the charging cradle with enough time that it should get to a decent percentage. Doesn't report back saying it couldn't update either, just... doesn't. Weird little bug that I've had for ages regardless of iOS version and curious if others had it too.

Re: overnight updates, same here lately.

I think the automatic update over night is literally that. It’ll update if it’s downloaded, but it won’t download; you have to do that manually. In the iOS 14 beta, there’s now options to automatically A) download it and B ) install it.

Stupid question but can you get Apple to replace a battery in an iPhone that isn't saying the battery is a problem? I gave my mum my old 8 a while ago, but now she's got a new SE and was thinking of giving the 8 to my brother who's still got my old SE which is pretty poo poo now. The 8 has about 84% on the battery health, can I get apple to change it?

Yes, but also they’ll charge for it. $80 was the last cost I heard on battery replacements.

I'm guessing it's out of warranty. It's 49.95 plus $6.95 shipping for the 8 battery. Newer phones cost more. At 84% battery they won't suggest replacement but if you request a battery service they will setup the paid repair for you. They won't tell you no and you don't have to use secret phrases

Doesn’t the phone itself suggest battery replacement when it drops under 90%?

I just wasn't sure if apple would do it unless the phone is saying it needs it. The phone is way out of warranty anyway as I bought it at launch, then replaced it with an XS which is when I gave it to my mum. track day bro! fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Aug 29, 2020 |

I'm quite possibly missing something really obvious, but is there a way to view iCloud photos fullscreen from a browser? I can zoom and turn off bits of the interface, but I don't see a fullscreen/black background view (beyond F11) e:maybe it's just not a feature, probably not important Rinkles fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Aug 31, 2020 |

If it's okay to ask, how's the dedicated iCloud app on windows? My experience with Apple software on PC has felt bloatware-ish, which is why I've been sticking to the webpage version so far.

It's fine, I use the iCloud Drive portion to sync stuff around and it does what it's supposed to do. The Photos works too but I don't need a bunch of lovely cat pictures on my desktop so I have it checked off.
