If you're on Apple One Premier ($25) and definitely want everything it offers, it still comes out ahead of buying everything.

Apple Music: Free (Regular $4.99 student, $9.99 individual, $14.99 family)
Apple Arcade: Free (Regular $4.99 for a family)
Apple TV+: $4.99 (First year free if you buy a device, family share
iCloud 2TB: $9.99 (Family share)
Apple News+: $9.99 (Family share
Apple Fitness+: $9.99 (Family share)

I might switch to it once my shoulder heals and I can use Fitness+ again.

Yeah totally. I’m not necessarily comparing , I get it , but hey, always worth checking to see if you get an extra discount.

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know if someone sells something similar to the Twelve South Surface Pad but just the back, and preferably clear?

Buddy of mine likes to use his iPhone 12 caseless but is bothered by the wobbly back. Something like what I mentioned would be good to alleviate that problem.

I want to trade in my iPhone 11 128gb (Verizon) for a 256gb SE. I hate how stupidly big this phone is. I've developed chronic hand pains from straining to reach poo poo on this loving brick--and I have big hands! It's too heavy for my car's phone holder and doesn't fit in my pockets. Bullshit. Grrrrr.

Who's got the best trade-in deal for this, apple? I purchased the phone in full from their website last year.

You should consider a 12 mini, then you'd be getting an upgrade at least.

I feel like we're getting into "only buy an iphone if you really need one right now" territory because the specs for this September are starting to leak. The actual launch is still four months away which sucks, but I'd hate buying something from the current lineup right now and then have the price drop on it by a fifth on October 1.

Call Verizon and see if they have a retention deal for you. It’s unlikely because you have a more recent phone, but I’ve seen it. They’ve been offering a lot of customers an iPhone SE $300 off (you get the credit over 24 months).


Edit: 12 Mini is a good idea. Just FYI I think Verizon is still offering $412 trade in towards it, although it may depend on your plan (I’m off a few days so I haven’t checked the updated promos for June).

Really? Source?

edit: Any rumors regarding hardware are just that. Rumors. The last SE went about 4 years between refreshes, so a 2 year refresh is a little hard to believe. They could drop a new SE today, tomorrow, or 4 years from now.

The only way they do a new SE soon is if they re brand the 12 mini. 12 mini a great phone but is a super slow seller , there’s def a lot of extra inventory so they’ve been doing promos to push out extra Mini inventory.

There's a rumor from a while back about a full screen SE, but with Touch ID (on the lock button like iPad Air?) instead of Face ID and the whole notch. Haven't heard much about that in a while...but there was a new full screen iPod touch rumor that popped up recently. That thing with a cellular radio seems like it'd fit the old SE rumor.

So I created a login with the 'sign in with apple' feature inside an app on my iPhone. I've been able to sign in repeatedly using the 'sign in with apple' button in this app but now I've deleted the app is there anyway to get this login so I can sign in on another iOS device that's not mine? I checked my apple password manager and its not there. Not in keychain either. I'm pretty sure I also used the 'hide my email' feature. Does apple have a way to retrieve these logins?

e: oh it seems like there is no password and thus I cannot sign into these apps/websites on devices that I'm also not signed into Apple with. Hmm bummer.

Yeah, you are essentially at the mercy of the app as to whether it provides a means of setting a real password on the account or not. Some apps really put a lot of effort into implementing Sign In With Apple, while others did the bare-rear end minimum necessary to fulfill the requirement to pass app review.

If you go to Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security you can see the app there and what the “fake” email address is.

Depending on the app/website, sometimes you can force a password reset using that email and use that to set a password when one wasn’t assigned in the first place.

Yeah, this is why I never use the sign in with Apple (or google, or facebook, or whatever) option. I just create my own user/pass and drop them into 1Password for this reason alone.

Oh great, yet another day that I’ve woken up to an uncharged phone because MagSafe decided to stop working. This is getting more and more common and happens maybe once every two weeks.

E: When I put it on the puck I saw the screen light up with the MagSafe indicator so I know it “attached” before I went to bed.

I haven't had a problem with my third party ones...well actually the one in my car seemed to be flakey sometimes when connected to 15W USB-C power*. Switched to USB-A (for other reasons) and it's been consistently fine since then.

*no clue what it was actually charging at, but it showed the MagSafe ring charging animation.

If the official MagSafe puck is having issues then that’s an Apple problem, not a “use a better puck” problem.

It's also less power efficient, having to change AC -> DC in the initial power brick, then DC -> AC in wireless charging coil, then AC -> DC in the charge controller in the phone.

It's requires about 20-30% more power to charge the phone than just plugging it in.

If you're not seeing more ads elsewhere that's just Youtube circumventing ad-blocking tools. They do it constantly.
