If anyone's whites look dull and display looks yellow/dimmed compared to another unit, try disabling Auto-Brightness (it's the only major display setting kinda tucked away in General -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size.) I noticed my roommate's 12 Mini looked more vibrant and less warm than mine with identical display settings... except Auto-Brightness! After turning that off, mine actually looked better, but I'd rather keep it on for the functionality.

Not sure this has ever happened but reading the Q&A for rando manufacturers and poor reviews you'd think one had at some point. Laserface posted:This is such an annoying part of the way bluetooth and siri work because the one thing the phones mic array is excellent at is picking a voice out of a noisy environment like a car in motion. combined with the delay between 'hey siri' or the push to talk button on the wheel and the 'ding' prompt that Siri is listening makes the single best place to use handsfree voice controls a complete and utter disaster to actually use.

Holy moly I’ve been looking for an option to choose what plays next in Overcast (on the fly, without having to gently caress around with Playlists) for literal years. For anyone else as dumb as me, expand the podcast item, click on the "+≡" button, and then Play Next is an option.

Even with that feature I switched back to Pocket Casts after years of Overcast use because their queue system is just so good. Syncs between devices, easily reorder-able, easily add something to the top or the bottom of it.

I spoke to Apple Support about my extremely slow-shipping phone again and after the guy initially got very confused about what I was asking about and I had to actually type the words "I'm not waiting on a package from you, you're waiting on a package from me" (none of you seem to understand...) he eventually said that apparently they're not doing 10-day repair ticket cancellations right now anyway on account of the roni. That would've been a nice thing to tell me on the initial email, Apple! In the meantime I'm trying to call up Royal Mail and find out what the gently caress. Three entire working days after shipping via a notional 24 hour business return service and it's still in the post office I handed it in in. The queue time on hold is 60 minutes.

Out of the blue my 12pro sounds like absolute rear end when playing Spotify via usb cable to CarPlay. Bluetooth sounds normal. I noticed a red mic icon was on so I dug thru all settings and disabled any Siri - Spotify stuff I could find, rebooted/reseated the cable with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? It’s driving me insane

Try a different cable -- sometimes they're troublesome with Carplay.

iPhone 12 Mini update: Am I the only one who thinks the display is a tad too narrow? I came from the 6S btw. I know that the display in total is bigger, and I will hopefully get used to it, but after a few days of using it it just feel a bit cramped.

Fwiw I just noticed this going from 8 to 12Pro. I think it’s because the screen is longer with no top and bottom bezel so gives the effect of looking narrower.

I think it's perfect except for the thing that poster pointed out that really messed me up (the stuff in the 'ears' of the screen don't seem to fit and seem to have been shoved down a bit to fit the information instead of being vertically aligned). I don't know if this is a problem on the other phones.

As far as I could tell, holding the phones next to each other, the 12 mini and the old home button phones are almost identical in screen width.

My wife is so happy with her mini, she was almost emotional. She has missed having a smallphone. One really cool thing I didn’t know about was Apple’s delivery. Ordered the phone through the Apple Store app and a courier dropped it off at our house less than 2 hours later.

I ended up going with the regular 12. Hopefully I don't regret it. It's barely bigger than my SE so who knows. I think I can theoretically pick it up today but I'm not sure if I want to dick with it due to the whole black friday thing.

For more space, make sure you’re on the non zoomed view, and you can lower text size if your eyes won’t hate you for it . I think software wise it’s the same virtual resolution (in points) as the X/Pro 5.8" phones, although I’m not sure how that compares to the 4.7" screens width wise.

Not sure if there's a better thread for this but I just saw the news about Google Photos no longer being free unlimited storage after some date in 2021 :-( Looks like the next best Cheap Good Photo Storage is gonna be Flickr Pro, so I'll pull the trigger once that date hits.

If you have Amazon Prime, their Photos service is about equivalent to what Google does. Flickr is not really all that great for mass scale photo backup, searching your stuff or getting it out of their system is not super fun.

It was inevitable, eventually they were going to realize that disk space is loving expensive and cameras are only going to be producing bigger and bigger files. It was a good technique to lure in users though! (alternative punchline: our photostreams have trained their AI sufficiently that they don't need us anymore)

Is there actually a way to get Siri to add multiple items (on separate lines) to a shopping list or is the internet just lying? I’ve tried “Add X, Y, and Z”, “Add X and Y and Z”, and even “Add X, new line, Y, new line, Z” and each one just got put on a single line. Googling says this should be possible but I can’t make it work (language is UK English).
