Not sure if anyone else will be doing so so I'll do a trip report if anyone is interested? I’m going to get the Anker one at some point, I think. Probably when I have some kind of job or task that lasts longer than my battery I guess. Seems slightly better for half the price.

If you are worried about dealing with a power outage, just buy a stupidly big Anker battery for half what the Apple one costs, and get five charges out of it instead of one.

I get like 4 full iphone 12 charges out of mine. lmao at buying the magsafe battery pack to get through 3 days of no power. youd get 1 recharge and it would be dead lmao.

My lightning port is blocked. My charging case works and data works intermittently with it but a cable put directly into the port won't seat properly. Google suggests using a new toothbrush but no luck so far. Anyone have experience or advice on this?

It needs more DC outlets too. Only because every youtuber with a vague link to camping or prepping has done glowing sponsored reviews the past nine months. Not to claim it's a bad product, Jackery is really good, but certainly not the only quality option out there. If one is headed down that road, Maxoak and GoalZero are worth comparing against. Definitely only worth it if you're regularly off the grid though.

Thanks for all the brand recs. Definitely falls into the ‘hope I never need to actually use’ territory although I have lost power in a hurricane before. Luckily I evac’d out of state and it was back when I returned.

My FaceID is intermittently not working. It seems like it will work/not work in large blocks of time. Over the last three days, it mostly didn't work on days 1 and 3 and mostly worked on day 2  I assume this small scratch is to blame. Or could it be something else? It looks much worse than it actually is. It won't even catch your finger nail.  As a side note, I think the 12 Pro has scratched more easily than every other iPhone I've had.

Over the last three days, it mostly didn't work on days 1 and 3 and mostly worked on day 2 That's where a lot of the FaceID tech is stored, so I'd imagine so.  I'd try your luck at an Apple Store though, there's a chance they'll be generous and replace the phone for you as FaceID is supposed to work. YMMV though since it's probably not working because of the scratch. -- I have a question of my own. Anker announced this charging station thing not too long ago.  What I like about it is the form itself. It being detachable and essentially converting into a portable wireless charger, the Watch charger being USB-C and popping off, letting you plug it into anything and charging your Watch that way -- all cool things. However, none that I necessarily need. Does anyone know of a charger with a small footprint like this for only AirPods and an iPhone? My whole goal here is get as small as possible. If Anker sold one of these used with a missing Watch attachment, I'd just be buying that.

If that isn't some sort of bug that's pretty terrible.

Question Mark Mound posted:Is private relay active now? How does it compare to just having NordVPN on permanently? It doesn't geoblock, it obfuscates where you are but they can still detect your "region" so it's not great for getting around content blockers. Some VPN clients won't work with it's on either, but most people seem to think it's a bug rather than by design. For example, the client thinks you already have VPN enabled so it refuses to run.

I thought iOS could only run one VPN at a time anyway! I never really tracked speed or battery life while running NordVPN but always had it in my head that it would be a drain on both. Would love to see some comparison metrics when iOS 15 is fully out!

Long time readers may recall I've long complained about Optimised Battery Charging not working, and just failing to activate for reasons that cannot be troubleshot. Now, almost an entire year later, it's started activating again (still with no obvious change to my settings, device or lifestyle). Hooray! Except, it's still not working. Here's what happens. I go to bed. I put the phone on to charge. Later I glance over at it and observe that the battery has hit 80% and a notification duly says "Scheduled to finish charging by 07:30" (which is the wrong time, I wake up much later, but whatever, I'm just happy it's activating at all). Later, I wake up, and see that the battery has continued to hold at 80% the whole time. Also, the phone is fairly hot when I pick it up; normally it gets hot while charging but is normal when it's done charging even when connected to power. I don't know what to make of this observation. Any ideas occur to anyone, or is this just my life now?

Not sure if anyone else will be doing so so I'll do a trip report if anyone is interested? For anyone else thinking of buying this, mine came from FedEx today. The little vertical magnet below the ring does not hold it in place very well, at all. It doesn't take much of a nudge to knock it off that magnet and then it wants to spin about the ring. Doesn't matter if you're using an official case or no case at all, it just wobbles all over the place. Between how thick it is and how easily it will slip off the magnet, I'm sending it back. Question Mark Mound posted:Is private relay active now? How does it compare to just having NordVPN on permanently? Unlike a VPN, private relay only works in Safari, not any apps. Try going to whatismyip.com from Safari and Chrome/Firefox and see the difference.

I wonder why it wasn't like the normal MagSafe charger which is just the ring itself and it sticks pretty good to it. I don't think that line actually does much of anything regardless.

Anyone have good recommendations for ad blockers for iOS? Bonus points if it can block ads/etc system-wide (ex. in the brower view for Awful or other apps, particularly the YouTube app).

I think MagSafe is a great idea in theory, you could have different devices with different strengths of magnets, but they seem to really have whiffed.

Hey guys, I have a question (and I apologize if its’s already been asked). I just got a 12 and on the front where the ear speaker and the front camera is it’s on like, black tab, and when I watch some videos or play some games, it extends all the way to the top of the screen, and that little black tab dips down into the viewing area. Is there anyway to adjust the screen so that isn’t a thing?

No I imagine this is your first smart phone in the last 3 years or so? It's known as The Notch and iPhones a lot of Android phones have that now. Most app developers design around it these days. Video playback can be annoying at first, but it honestly fades into the background after a while. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Jul 23, 2021 |

I don’t think the iPhone’s aspect ratio post-home button is 16:9, so you can probably double tap the video as you’re watching to display “correctly” since whatever you’re watching is *probably* 16:9 and being stretched to the full the screen horizontally. The games though, you’re probably out of luck.

You can watch videos either with black bands on both sides, or you can double tap and it will zoom in and use all the available pixels, but the notch will intrude and you'll lose the corners outside the radius. Apps can't be adjusted and it's whatever the developers decide is how they want it to be displayed.
