Mask issues aside FaceID removes all friction from the user experience of biometric authentication, it's a small thing but I often find myself having to think about then place my finger on the scanner now because I'm so used to FaceID working transparently while using the phone.

Wheeee posted:I miss FaceID on my Pixel more than I miss fingerprint scanner on my iPhone. Yeah it’s one of those things that is so seamless and uncomplicated in that wonderful ~future tech~ sort of way. I’m not often wowed by technology nowadays but it’s one of the best upgrades I’ve seen in a while.

I like how seamless it is for the most part these days, where you forget that if someone else tried to pick up your phone is just won’t work.

Why do photos taken with my 13 Pro appear blurry for a moment when I’m scrolling through them? I don’t have iCloud backup turned on. Is this an HDR thing?

I guess it's programmed in way where the OS doesn't generate a thumbnail until it needs one. So the blurry photo is the absolute quickest way it can show you a thumbnail, then it does some computing and shows you a higher res thumbnail.

You could try altering your delivery instructions themselves to say like "Deliver to front office." My phones for the past two years have been left at our front desk with no need for my signature.

Are third-party lightning to HDMI cables any good yet? £49.99 is still way more than I wanna pay for the occasional video output use.

You can set up a MyUPS account and redirect the package to a UPS store and pick it up there. You'll need a little lead time to put in the delivery instructions. At least 24 hours ahead of time I think.

Wait, iCloud Backup or iCloud Photos? They are separate. If you have just iCloud Photos enabled it could be doing the thing where the full size file is not stored on the phone. If you have iCloud Backup enabled but not iCloud Photos, your photos are also part of your iCloud Backup but the full size photos will remain on the phone.

Is there anyone that begrudgingly switched from a small phone to a big phone in the period when the small iPhones didn't exist (say, 2016 SE to an 11), and then switched back to a small phone with a 12 or 13 Mini? I ask because I loved my tiny little 2016 SE, but I've sort of gotten used to the big-rear end 11 Pro screen. I'm worried that my brain is broken after 2 years with a big screen and I won't be able to go back even though I generally prefer a smaller form factor. Does anyone have experience in the small -> big -> small pipeline and were there any regrets?

Josh Lyman posted:I have both iCloud backup and iCloud photos disabled. The only thing I use iCloud for is saving text messages. I turned on airplane mode and it’s still doing it. I just realized my 13 Pro is doing it too. I have iCloud Backup enabled but not iCloud Photos. The way iOS 15 handles HDR photos and photos in general has been a little wonky all around from my experience so far. For whatever reason you also can't disable HDR on the 13's.

I used to think bigger was better, then the phones got so big I couldn’t 1-hand them and I’ve gone the other way. I had an X max and 11 pro max, then a 12 pro, now a 13 mini. No regrets at all. I love that it fits in my pockets, battery life is good, it’s so cute. Love it. Unfortunately the smaller screen didn’t stop me from continuing to spend too much time on my phone, haha. But I don’t miss the big phones at all, even though I watch videos and all the same stuff I did before. get that 13 mini, imho. You will love it

It's either a lower resolution image being served immediately while the full sized image is loaded into memory, or if you're referring to freshly-taken photos going immediately into the camera roll, then they are just still being processed.

It definitely didn't used to do this though, at least not to such a noticeable extent. It's most likely some sort of RAM/battery saving thing but honestly tapping on a stored photo on my phone and having it not load instantly feels very cheap for such a high end device.

I’ve noticed that too but honestly I’m already over it and it’s oddly satisfying waiting for the nicest version of the photo to load.

I know what you mean. I went back through my camera roll to try and reproduce it, because I felt like I hadn't been seeing it lately (excluding the just-taken-photo processing delay.) It does seem tied to photos with post effects, like HDR and Portrait Mode. Plain photos (no HDR etc) from years ago pull up instantly. The HDR ones give me the plain photo, and then maybe half a second later, a blast of brightness.

Ever since I got my new phone (and switched from Google Fi back to Verizon), I've been having trouble with SMS text messaging. I can send/receive messages to individual people over SMS just fine. But if there's a group thread with a mix of people with SMS and people with iMessage, then none of my messages go through. I tried deleting the chain and starting it new. When I did that, the people who have iMessage each got my messages as if I sent them individually, and the people who have SMS didn't get them at all. I know when I had Google Fi there were some settings I needed to modify to get SMS working properly, but I don't see those settings anymore now that I'm back on Verizon. Anyone experience anything similar to this, or have any ideas on how to fix it?

There's probably someone more knowledgeable than me, but off the top of my head, it sounds like you've done everything you can on your end. But you might want to reset your network settings for the hell of it. Also maybe call up Verizon. Something could have been hosed up in the porting process.

Go to settings / messages and make sure MMS Messaging and Group Messaging are enabled. If those options are missing I think something isn't configured right Edit: if your old phone was an Android, make sure your number is unregistered from RCS. I don't think that's the issue but it doesn't hurt to check. Kia Soul Enthusias fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Oct 17, 2021 |

Try and disable iMessage for a bit then reenable it. Make sure your send and receive are set to use your phone number too. Not your dumb @iCloud. If the send and receive is set right maybe try switching them away to the wrong crap and then back to your phone number. Some combination of the above fixed my sms issues.

It’s gonna be great to have in certain situations, but imo it’s a long way from 1x to 3x at 12MP so any digital cropping will look rough pretty fast (eg you can do 1x Portrait and crop, but…) Yeah its nigh unusable as Portrait or in low light. But the 1x camera is so drat good its worth it.
