Not to distract from the completely valid complaint of Apple not putting weather and calculators on iPads, but Windy has a pretty good widget.

This man is correct, no idea what OP means. To make it complicated though, the Apple Weather app is built on weather.com tech. The Weather Channel logo is on there.

It's pretty hilarious that Apple is pushing the iPad as a viable work device, and yet still doesn't include a loving calculator out of the box. A tool found and needed in a lot of offices. All because they're trying to figure out ThE bEsT eXpErIeNcE eVeR!

The actual reason it doesn't have a calculator is because no one got around to updating the phone version to deal with the larger screen of the iPad screen prior to the big launch, Steve Jobs hated how it looked and made them delete it. And they've simply "forgotten" to update the app in the 11 years since.

I get 'Silenced' calls on Verizon and it works pretty well, I used to use Hiya but during a few OS upgrades it literally let everything through so I killed it and sent them an email saying I'll resubscribe when you fix the drat app, never got a response. RoboFence used to work ok but they vanished from the App Store and their crowdsourced robolist wasn't being updated..

I’ve used Siri exactly once. It was years ago so I don’t remember the question but when I said “Thank you” Siri didn’t say “You’re welcome” which I thought was rude so I haven’t used it since

I used to be back and forth between two cities for work, so I've got (GPS location) and a specific city as two locations in the weather app. I've since moved to aforementioned specific city, so no more back and forth. However, the two listings in the weather app are now effectively different at all times. Every single value is different -- by a pretty insignificant amount most of the time, yes, but what the hell?

You can put in a different ZIP, get same city, state but different temp values.

I have a full HomeKit enabled home (lights/ac-heat/candles/pet fountain) and I’m yelling at Siri all the god damned time it rules. I’d get smart blinds for the window and vents for the ac if they ever went on sale. Smart home owns.

I use Spotlight for calculating. DuckDuckGo's calculator in Safari if I'm already in there. Or Calcbot for an actual calculator. Tapping on the Spotlight result opens the Calculator on iPhone and...browser on iPad like everything else.

Fortunately the ones that get through are always the same area code as my phone which is the other easy way to filter. I wish I was that lucky, like 25% of the junk calls I get are labeled as such. Since I have to pretty much pick up numbers I don't recognize otherwise, it's a huge pain that drives me kind of nuts sometimes.

I moved to a city where the area code is a bit different from my personal area code. Makes it kind of easy to see what’s spam and what’s not - if it’s the area code of the town I live in now, probably not spam. Same as my area code, probably spam. Most calls are still spam.

Is there any way for MagSafe charging to work with regular TPU phone cases? I keep seeing these specific cases with the circle on the back that lead me to believe I couldn't solve my wife's Qi charger issues with a MagSafe-based charger without forcing her to replace the cute case she has on it.

I’m pretty sure the bulk of what MagSafe is is the magnetic portion of it all, the rest is just wireless charging. So if the case works with a wireless charger, it should work fine with a normal case and MagSafe charger. The thicker the case is, the less likely it’ll work because, y’know, magnets.

Yeah it's just a matter of being within distance to charge (assuming it can charge through the material) and magnetism to keep it attached. Cases are generally thin enough to charge fine, but the magnet usually isn't enough for a solid hold without an extra magnet embedded or attached to the case. There's ring magnet stickers you can stick inside the case, but if the case is too thick you still get the same problem. Otherwise you stick the magnet on the case itself (or plain metal ring even, cause the charger/dock itself is magnetic enough), but aesthetically it might defeat the purpose of trying to keep the case in the first place. There's two ring magnet arrays I've seen. The pretty common one has a bunch of small squarish ones that looks like the OEM setup, with or without the extra two on the bottom to line things up. The other has a lot fewer long/curved magnets, I think that one has a stronger hold and is meant for the docking side, but works on the phone too. There's whole filled circle things too that have one of those ring arrays inside.

I fooled with a bunch of 'thin' cases with my iPhone 12. Make a long story short, if you want to use MagSafe, don't waste your time with the cheap Amazon poo poo, even if it says it's MagSafe compatible. Get an official case or one has the official 'made for iPhone' branding and make sure it specifically says it's MagSafe.

Jose Oquendo posted:I fooled with a bunch of 'thin' cases with my iPhone 12. If something says compatible without having magnets (like just relying on thinness and/or texture), then yeah definitely don't bother. The only case that works without anything extra is basically a bumper type that leaves the back open...and as I found out, that might not work on the 12 mini btw. Like at least with the car charger I got, it's basically the same width as the 12 mini, so any case lip from a bumper is too much. I was able to trim the case around the MagSafe area so it works at least

After experiencing 85 hours of no power this past week due to a storm, I'm thinking of getting the official MagSafe Battery Pack. Not sure if anyone else will be doing so so I'll do a trip report if anyone is interested? As for other MagSafe chat, the official Silicone Case is really nice for it but so is the Spigen case that's supposed to be for MagSafe. I haven't tried it on the Caudabe cases but I assume it'd work ok. It's pretty tight on the Silicone case though, the Spigen case is about the same.
