Endless Mike posted:Every rumor has been pointing at the 2023 iPhone being USB-C, which will pretty much leave just AirPods, some (all?) wireless Beats, the base iPad, and AppleTV remotes with Lightning, and I suspect the base iPad is getting a redesign to look like the rest of the lineup. Audio devices and tablets will have to jump too in 2024, I think only the remote will be out of scope in that list. Also magsafe is not safe(AYYYYYYY) as usb-c connector for charging will be mandatory from 2026.

The media packages states in multiple parts that charging must be done mandatorily over a usb-c port so that no special cables would be required to be purchased for each devices. It's all about gadgets tho, no mentions of laptops(the original docket didn't include them).

Oh gently caress, the minutes are out but not the final directive. This is one of the amendments from yesterday https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2022-0129_EN.html 1. equipment operating with power delivery of up to 100W falling under the scope of this Directive: - hand-held mobile phones, - tablets, e-readers, laptops, - digital cameras, - headphones, headsets, earbuds, - handheld videogame consoles, keyboards, mice, screens, printers, - portable speakers, portable navigations, digital radios, - smart watches, wearable and health trackers, personal care devices, sport and lighting equipment, - electronic toys. Apple watch is in the list too then. Soul Glo posted:Does the new EU law prevent Apple from just paying a fine if Apple decides implementing USB-C costs more than just leaning on their proprietary licensed accessory market The amendment says that Apple must justify for each device, every time the commission feels like it, why they did not implement it, with solid reasoning unless they want bad things to happen.

The new apple watch charging puck is USB-C on the other end now. Does any fitness thing/watch use a direct connection with a standard port? Don’t most of them use an adapter that itself has a USB plug? I wonder if that’ll be enough to satisfy them. The actual power supply can be USB-C.

Don’t most of them use an adapter that itself has a USB plug? Garmin has a connector on vivoactives which is physical with bogopins but almost as big/deep as usb-c. The cheaper fitness watches are mostly all bogopins, not inductive charging, with pretty much usb-a laid out on the chassis.

I had similar car play issues as the last page, but what worked for me is when I got a new phone I didn’t have the issues anymore. I bought a foam pad to try to minimize shock from minor road bumps that caused disconnect and just figured I was having bad cable luck and finally ended up buying one that has a light when the cable is plugged in so I could see if was losing power or whatever. But I am still using the old cable since the new one took forever to come, and in the three weeks since I got the new phone, no disconnects, even with the phone in hand or in the passenger seat or rolling around on the floor.

FCKGW posted:How are they "disabled" when not in work hours? Do you have like a Home focus mode or something? My current solution was just “block all notifications from them at all times and I’ll check when I drat well feel like it” since I’m normally at my PC anyway but with notifications on I can maybe sneak out on walks with my dog more often while working from home without getting caught since I can see when emails come in.

My CarPlay issues have existed across phones and it's never been a shock issue. For me, it's either it gives me an error when I first connect or it works fine and continues to work fine. Very rarely it'll spit out the error after a little bit, but it's almost always either working or not.SlowBloke posted:Oh gently caress, the minutes are out but not the final directive.

I worried about that a bit, then I realized these two things: - they’ll possibly offer a usbc case for sale to replace your current case - there’s enough ways to charge the AirPods Pro 2 case (wireless, MagSafe, Apple Watch) that I don’t really mind, since any time I’d want to charge my AirPods while traveling I’d also have my watch puck

This isn't really iPhone specific but this is the first time I have noticed this since I moved from an XS to 14 Pro... Are carriers hiding MM towers in neighborhoods? I live in a fairly dense neighborhood absolutely full of trees, our LTE coverage isn't even great but I was shocked to see 3 bars of 5G+ inside my house, 1-2 of LTE is common. I know AT&T has invested heavily in infrastructure in my neighborhood, we get 5GB fiber here (Pretty sure they are trying to juice their numbers because we live in a upper middle class neighborhood in one of the poorest/minority heavy ZIPS in the city.) I've seen typical neighborhood 5G MM installs and none of that has gone on here unless they are hiding them in alleys or something.

It’s probably c band versus MM (although you never know I guess). MM is able 5000 band, it’s the one that gets crazy fast speeds (1000+) but is worthless for actually having any ranging / penetrating buildings and walls. C band is the one that is 3500-3800ish, speeds are usually 100-300, travels decently, and is known for initially trying to kill airplanes but not really that was over blown. For context, LTE / base 5G on 700 gets like, 20-100, although I’ve seen it go up to 200 now. Fun fact: I have an old Verizon plan, so my personal phone technically does not get c band, but my work phone does. Not that I take my work phone everywhere , but at times when my work phone has c band, my personal phone got similar speeds on speed test. So IMO, having C Band itself doesn’t make a difference, but I think I’ve noticed more consistent speeds both on and off, as in it’s freeing up capacity on the base network. Super YMMV though.

Duckman2008 posted:It’s probably c band versus MM (although you never know I guess). Probably, although at my office which is near the city core that I know for a fact has mmWave coverage, I get 5G and not 5G+. I mean, it checks out that I'm not getting mmWAVE inside my brick office a block away from the nearest tower, but weird that there is no C Band if they include that in 5G+.

Dude, if you catch me on a day when I am bored, I can post a lot of crazy stories here on poo poo I’ve seen working for US carriers in a customer facing setting for the past 13 years. But if we’re talking the ultimate one, honestly there’s no better one than this: https://techcrunch.com/2013/11/14/isis-the-mobile-payments-initiative-from-att-verizon-t-mobile-launches-across-the-u-s/ https://techcrunch.com/2014/09/03/isis-mobile-wallet-rebrands-to-softcard-to-distance-from-miltant-terror-group/ I had my wallet stolen 2 years ago, and the absolute worst part of it is that my AmEx ISIS card was stolen with it , so I no longer have proof ther I was a card carrying member of ISIS.

Is it possible to turn off 5GUW? 5G is fine but whenever it switches over to UW I can’t load anything. E- I was able to make this post but I can’t load anything in safari, it happens every time. I only get UW in one area near work as far as I’ve noticed, and it always gives me problems.

Ended up ordering an advanced replacement for my phone. I don't know if it has anything to do with the gouges I apparently put in it the day after I got it, but I've been getting random phantom touches on the dynamic island too. So it's a bit busted I guess, dang. I'm pretty sure it's that anyway because I can see the gray border wiggle the same way as if I physically tapped it myself, and it does the little vibration too.

on t-mobile the "5G UC" gets great signal around me, but frequent dropouts of streaming music. speed tests are usually very fast, but the actual experience sucks so i leave mine set to LTE only, and very occasionally turn on the 5G manually for a while in situations where LTE is spotty.
