Sri.Theo posted:Legit annoyed at the mini cancellation. I was looking forward to buying one when my current phone gets EOL. I guess there’s a large crossover between people that keep their phones for a long time and people that want iPhone minis. Probably some good deals on the mini right now - it's a good enough price in my part of the world that I'm considering buying one despite thinking it's far too small.

FCKGW posted:RIP iPhone Mini lol...I just bought an SE today. Any chances the 12 mini will go on sale to clear out inventory? Speaking of new iPhone, what are the recommended cases for an SE? Are Otter cases still the go to or is there something better/cheaper? What about screen protectors, are they worth it?

I like the idea of widgets, but every single time I add one to my home screen I think, "goddamn this takes up way too much space and just kicked 8 icons to the second page that I hate flipping to" and end up deleting it. The only exception is the Siri suggestions or whatever. That one is actually nice.

Since 14 I’ve been doing okay with my battery widget eating up 4 spots, and my Dexcom eating up the other, losing the first two rows. Ive become so reliant on spotlight search for anything outside of my top 6-8 used apps that it hasn’t been an issue for me. I don’t know why I’ve just created the muscle memory to pull down and type a letter and it feels faster than any other method of accessing an app. I sometimes catch myself doing it for apps even on my Home Screen.

Apple is still selling it, all the retailers still have inventory. Sounds like, if the rumor is true, it just won't return after the next refresh. I wouldn't expect any discounts any time soon.

Isn’t the 11 Pro supposed to be water resistant? I was canoeing with it in my pocket yesterday. The canoe tipped and I ended up in the lake. I was out of the water in about a minute, and my phone was never deeper than about three feet. The phone was fully dried off after about ten minutes. Yet, water got into the camera enclosure, with moisture visible as I looked into the lenses. A bag of rice fixed that, but now Face ID won’t work. Am I missing something, ie it’s only water resistant if I use a certain case? I’m out of warranty and didn’t buy AppleCare, so I’m out of luck.

Haven’t they all been IP68 certified for a few years? But either way, yeah, I believe Apple explicitly does not warranty them against water damage regardless. e: yeah IP68 since iPhone XS (and IP67 since iPhone 7) fourwood fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Jul 5, 2021 |

iPhone is only rated for getting batter, flour, and tap water on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xMEMGHgYtM You can also drop a pepper grinder on it. Canoeing is strictly forbidden.

Not sure how much faith I have in Apple’s continued push for on-device processing and semantic understanding of what you want… (Edit: I know you shouldn’t need “pm” in 24 hour times but I was trying everything to make my phone understand what I wanted)

Question Mark Mound posted:Not sure how much faith I have in Apple’s continued push for on-device processing and semantic understanding of what you want… I eventually turned my Siri suggestions off, since any I cared about were literally always wrong. Same way I send most of my texts via dictation on my watch, but I guess the I'm the neural net that has been trained to know when I need to type because some words and phrases just won't work.

You've described a time that does not exist. Your phone tries to convert that into a time that does exist: what would just over 18-and-a-half hours after noon today look like? That's 6:35 in the morning tomorrow.

Edit: unambiguous time suggesting both the wrong day and time  Weirdly, though, "11:50 today" picks up as 23:50 today, so if I wanted to set up a reminder for tonight that's the only phrasing that would get it right without doing it manually.

even if it is syntactically wrong, “18:35pm today” should 100% suggest 18:35 that day before it suggests 18 hours and 35 minutes in the future imo. i guess the one situation where i might not expect it is if the phone isn’t set to 24 hour time?

Question Mark Mound posted:It was suggesting 6:35am tomorrow when I just had "18:35 today" typed in (and "6:35 today"... and "6:35pm today") - I was trying any permutation to force it to select any other time but the one that was wrong in both day and time. That sounds awful. I'd guess that its processing is erroneously assuming you are/everyone is using am/pm regardless of your phone's time settings, so saying 11:50 picked the next 11:50—11:50 PM. That also could explain why adding the 'pm' in your previous post ironically gave you the 'most correct' time out of the bunch so far. What happens if you use 12-hour time (with am/pm) for the reminders? If my earlier guess was right, that should work as intended. Either way it's probably worth filing a bug report about the whole situation.

Honestly, every part of Reminders has been a mess since they upgrades the Reminders format in iOS 13 and there's been syncing and speed issues with the app on any device I've used ever since - even after several attempts with support, complete wipes without a restore and even new devices. The semantic text thing usually not working (until recently, it would use the entire auto-correct bar to suggest everything I type goes into my "Work" list) is just kinda the icing on the cake. I love iOS mostly but man, Apple's services are bad.

I wonder if it’s because you’re putting the time you want in the text of the reminder instead of the little (i) thing? I think your end goal is to do “reminder to [buy buttplugs] at [1850]” in that dialog box but I think that phrasing isn’t what the app wants.

I just bought a HomePod mini and I'm wondering once I set it up, if I try to use "hey Siri" will my phone, watch and iPad all also try to respond to the request? Is there a way to specify which device im talking to? Since I'm here asking dumb questions, can I make it listen to multiple people?

Your Apple stuff does some internal testing to determine which microphone is closest to your mouth (or maybe more precisely, which one hears you best) and only takes the current command from that mic. Like if I'm in my car and I got my hands on the wheel and call out to siri, the head unit responds. If I move my watch to my mouth it wakes up on my watch. So no, you don't have to worry about every device in earshot running the same command.

Not sure if this is useful to anyone else but I finally found a use for Shortcuts that I’ll use every day so thought I’d share it. My lunch and evening walks are usually just me going off on a straight path and then stopping halfway between when I left and what time I needed to get back for and then turning back. So I’ve made a shortcut that lets me enter a time (e.g. whenever my lunch break ends) and it’ll calculate half the time difference between then and now and then set a timer, so I’ll get back on time assuming my walking pace stays the same both ways.  Edit: looking at it again, it’s better with “Show Alert” instead of a notification at the end so it doesn’t add a pointless notification but you still get the message.

Not sure about Windows, but there are tools for MacOS that let you export messages in a few different formats from a backup of your phone so I would imagine there’s an equivalent. E: I thiiiiiink it was iMazing I used before and the website indicates a Windows version exists. I would dump my group texts each day so I could write them up for work off an XLS file rather than retype from my phone. A bit of a pain, but if you just want to do a one off dump it should be easy enough. EL BROMANCE fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jul 8, 2021 |

There are iMessage to PDF apps out there, but I think it requires using iTunes. I've never actually used one of them so you're on your own there. That doesn't delete the messages from icloud either so you'd still have to delete the conversations on your phone to free up the space.

Something else to consider is just saving the attachments and deleting the messages. A lot of that space is probably taken up by videos and pictures.

Probably not, it's more that there could be something in there I'm not thinking of atm, and a gig is a paltry amount in the PC space, but it's a big chunk of my iCloud drive.
