Referee posted:I was considering upgrading from my X to a 13 Pro Max or whatever but it looks like at least for Xfinity Mobile all their deals require porting over a number and starting a new line. Guess I’ll keep waiting. I caved and bought one tonight.  Everything seems to have synced over flawlessly with the exception of all of my saved Keychain passwords. Do these usually take longer? Edit: wound up Airdropping them over one by one which was annoying.

Anyone ever have all network connectivity on their iPhone just die out of nowhere? Because it happened to me at around midnight tonight. The phone still says it's connected to 5G, but i have zero connectivity in any apps. And despite WiFi being on, and connected on the Settings -> Wifi screen, the status bar only says 5G. I've tried turning cellular off and going Wifi only, I've tried turning Wifi off and going cellular only, I've power cycled the phone several times, I've done a "reset network settings", nothing has worked. It's a brand new (as of release date) iPhone 13 Pro and it's super annoying. I have a Genius bar appointment for 2:30AM (what good is living near a 24-hour apple store if you never use it) but it's really annoying and I'm assuming they're just going to tell me to reinstall the OS, but I can't without any network connectivity!

Not sure if this is the right thread but I don't think there's a dedicated Apple Music thread. I'm thinking of signing up to this Apple Music trial but just had a couple of questions about it: I know people used to use iTunes Match to "upgrade" old CD rips to Apple's versions of the files from iTunes. Does Apple Music use the same thing? I haven't checked my awful collection from the 90s for disc rot but either way, having an automated upgrade process from the 128kbps (or, embarrassingly, some 96kbps) rips from my youth would be lovely. If this works, do the files still work after the subscription ends or do I need to re-replace it all with my old library again? On a semi-similar note, if Apple can match my files with songs from their library, will it also be able to assign metadata from my rips (i.e. rating, "loved", play count) with their service in order to build out an instant profile for their personalised playlist stuff?

Not really iPhone only but man the AirTag system and iPhone connection to them works really well. For the first time in my life I left my wallet on top of my car while trying to get the EV charger to charge my car (and being late for work). I then drove for 30 minutes, including highway speeds until I all of a sudden see "You left your wallet behind!" popping up on Apple CarPlay. At first I thought I had left the wallet back at the charging station, but instantly remembered how it works by communicating with iPhone. Ended up turning around and locate my (empty) wallet + contents all over the road. Never found my credit cards, but found my drivers license and my work login card. Took 10 minutes to find (dig out) the AirTag despite it being located down to <10cm due to it of course being a the bottom of a cut down bush with thorns n poo poo. 10/10 would forget wallet on top of car again.... not really but man did the AirTag save my rear end. Just thought I'd share if someone is on the fence about getting some AirTags.

If you download all the matched files (i.e., delete your crappy mp3s in Finder and then go to download in iTunes) they will still play even if you cancel your sub. 2. I believe high rating == loved but I don't know much about how "the algorithm" works.

Apple Music’s algorithm is nowhere near as sophisticated as Spotify’s, which has its upsides and downsides. Apple Music is more authoritative in recommending you music and most playlists you see are curated by actual people, which provides a more consistent experience, but it can also be totally wrong for you. If you’re mostly interested in algorithmic individualised recommendations, Spotify is definitely the way to go.

I’ve enjoyed my three month trial of Apple Music on my iPhone and iPad but will not be paying to extend it simply due to no Windows app, and no that piece of poo poo iTunes does not count. Until there’s a desktop app for Windows AM is dead to me, no matter how cool their animated album covers are.

Does anyone have recommendations for charging stations with speakers built in? Basically what I want to do is set my phone to start playing a playlist at a certain time and play it through a set of speakers, as an alarm clock. This seems like it should be a simple and common thing but I haven't done it since the days of plugging in your standalone mp3 player to an alarm clock through an aux cable. Also, is it possible to do that with the default alarm clock app or do I need some other app to randomly select from a playlist rather than always having the same thing start playing? I feel like having the music constantly switching up will help wake me up since it's not the same predictable noise every morning.

iCloud tabs stopped working after I updated to iOS and iPadOS 15. Googling hasn't helped me: it's turned on on every device, I've rebooted everything, but I still can't see tabs open on other devices. Am I missing something obvious here?

Endless Mike posted:Have you tried the web player? Yea and it just made me question why I wasn’t using Spotify instead. If you’re all in on Apple AM is a fine competitor to Spotify, but I have no interest in switching to Mac so gently caress em. Inferior algorithms and playlist sharing don’t help either. Apple recently bought out a classical music streaming company who had figured out how to categorize and present the infinitude of recordings and performances of classical music in a reasonably comprehensible manner and if they bring that to Apple Music I’ll give it another shot, but right now today it’s broadly inferior to Spotify and while lossless streaming a nice little peace of mind thing knowing that you’re getting ‘the best’ it’s hardly perceptible, and their spatial audio is a lovely gimmick.

This left me with a library of duplicates. If I looked at my library and went into an album that normally had 10 tracks, it would show 20. Track 1, Track 1, Track 2, Track 2... On Apple TV's music player the first copy would pop up a message about the track not being available in my country and then the second copy of it would play. I spent a good portion of an hour deleting everything through music.apple.com until my online library was cleared. I got a Macbook a month later and decided to try again through the Music app and everything synced with no issue.

Out of idle curiosity I just converted my T-Mobile physical sim to an eSIM, leaving the SIM tray free on my iPhone 13 mini. In a few days I’m receiving an iPhone 12 for work (on AT&T) which I’m considering just taking the SIM from and running as a second line on my personal iPhone 13. Does anyone have any experience using an iPhone with two lines on two carriers like this? Any oddness I should be aware of? Seems like it’d be nice to not have to carry two phones and to have access to both networks when one is unavailable or whatever.

One thing I don't like is you can't change your SIM in the middle of a text conversation, but that's more of an issue if you're travelling vs having different SIMs for different contacts. Maybe that's changed in iOS 15, I haven't travelled in a while for obvious reasons and actually my second SIM expired because I forgot to add credit, so I can't test it, d'oh. Android is a little better for dual SIM last I tried but still not super smooth.

Since it’s plugged into YouTube you can just use some random’s upload of the same songs, but it’s a mess.

Ive been looking for this feature and it seems so simple that I thought it would be a slam dunk, but I guess not? I’d like to use my iPad Pro as a viewfinder for my iPhones camera. Like I could set the ipad up to view and then use phone to look around the tighter spots in my cars engine bay. Can’t believe this doesn’t exist as a simple/easy feature/app. The only things I’ve seen that come close are to use over the web with an account and all that crap. I want to do it locally over WiFi or something.

My first Apple Watch was a 5 and it lasted through a day and night for me. I'd recharge it every morning before I'd leave for work. My series 7 is usually down to 30% when I recharge it the next morning. Recharging once a day is fine for me at least. I've never had any problem with it. When I had a FitBit that thing went for a week, but all it told me was steps and floors. My wife had a FitBit Charge and I think it was every couple of days when she was charging that up. It was okay, but once she got an Apple watch she never looked back at it. Turmoil fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Dec 4, 2021 |

If *all* she wants is to track her fitness, I'd recommend the Wyze Watch too, just off of price and the added "benefit" of it straight up looking like an Apple Watch but only costing $30. If she wants a dedicated fitness thing, I'd get a Fitbit; this one to be exact. https://www.fitbit.com/global/us/products/trackers/inspire2?sku=418BKBK
