Yea Apple has more or less reached market saturation with their current hardware lineup, most of their recent growth has come from services. Latest rumours are that there’s going to be an iPhone 15 Ultra with a significantly higher retail price than the existing Pro models lol

I have no idea what they could possibly put in a smartphone to justify an even higher price tag at this point. At least with the Apple Watch Ultra, you're filling a specific niche use-case and the price isn't that much more compared to prior year Titanium models.

Go to Apple Park or Infinite Loop and you can buy all the wacky Apple T-shirts you want. Each store has different designs, with IL being more retro, so you’ll want to visit both. They’ve got other merch too, like sketchbooks and pens and water bottles. Or the cool product flash cards, which unfortunately were out of stock when I visited.

I'm thinking of upgrading from my iPhone 7 Plus as the amount of space (32 GB) is getting constrained. However, there are some issues: • I want a large form factor phone (this is critical or I won't be able to use it) • I don't use a phone case, but all iPhones after the 7 have glass backs - what's most resistant to damage? It'll be in my pocket up against my keys. • I'd prefer the front bezel to be white if possible What would people recommend?

Glass is higher on the mohs scale than steel, the main source of scratches in pockets is going to be sand. The frame is another story though, that sumbitch will scratch whether it's steel or aluminum. 3.) I want that too, but it's too late now.

I haven't had any scratches on the SS bands of iPhones Pro from going caseless. I don't carry keys in the same pocket though. If you're buying second hand I would go for a 13 Pro Max (assuming that you can't get a 14 Pro Max second hand just yet.)

i went from an 8 plus to a 14 pro, no bezels means the screen size is bigger so try that rear end out.

US has an on going carrier price war, so sometimes you can get good deals. Postpaid only. 13 pro max if you can find it used would be a good option otherwise.

I feel like if someone’s coming from a 7 plus then they are used to and probably specifically want a large phone. OP made a point of saying ‘I want a large form factor phone, this is critical or I won’t be able to use it’ It’s not clear if the requirement for large form factor is for the purposes of screen real estate or physical size - it could be the latter, they may have some sort of condition which makes holding or carrying a smaller phone more difficult. As for bezels though, iPhones don’t really have bezels any more.

Definitely consider this - I can't believe how many $500 - $1000 credits available, even for 5+ year old trade-ins. I'm pretty amazed you've gotten by with a 32GB iPhone for this long - managing a device's app storage sounds like my worst nightmare. Give me the extra storage so I don't have to think about it for the next 3+ years of the device. The last time I had 32GB of storage in my phone was over a decade ago with the iPhone 5

Is there a way to allow Outlook mail notifications while I'm in my work focus, but not allow them when I'm in NO focus (anytime outside work hours). It seems I can only add apps to the allowed/block list if I'm actually IN a focus, rather than not being in any focus.

I just created a "Personal" focus that automatically turns on when my "Work" focus turns off. Then Outlook tracks the focus to enable its own Personal or Work mode. Does that get at what you want to do?

Set your quiet hours for whenever you’re not at work and allow the app in Work focus. Click your face/profile then click the alarm clock icon in the upper right

So I've been an android user since 2010 but I'm probably going to be switching to iPhone from my galaxy s21 ultra soon because my son is coming up on phone age and from what I can tell the parental controls on ios are better unless I want to install Spyware on android (I don't). I guess my question is for anyone who has made a similar switch after being android basically/almost since smart phones existed. How long will I regret it before I accept it (kidding, this is entirely subjective I know). How do the Google apps work with ios, from what I can tell on my iPad, Google photos won't upload pics unless I have the app open which is kind of annoying. Any other weird quirks with Gmail, maps, Google home, other apps? Does the Google opinion reward app on ios give as many surveys as Android? Any tips or tricks for switching? How do I live without a dedicated back and app switching button? They don't have touchid anymore right? They ever gonna bring it back? I've gotten so used to my in-screen fingerprint scanner, really gonna miss it. Last thing, does the ask for approval thing in screen time just stop working and is there a way to fix it. One of my kids iPads for about a month has only been sending the request to my MacBook and no matter what mine nor my wife's iPad never gets it. Is that gonna happen with the iPhone too or am I just super unlucky? Thanks for reading my long post

I've gotten so used to my in-screen fingerprint scanner, really gonna miss it. It’s all swipe gestures. If you want to go back, swipe back. If you want to switch apps either swipe left/right on the home bar or swipe up and get the app cards. It’s very intuitive once you get used to the gestures. I don’t have answers to your other questions but I will say that Apples strong points are it’s deep integration with other Apple services so I would recommend at least trying a clean start on Apple app (mail, maps, safari, etc) and see how you like it before switching over to Google apps.

Oh I have a Wyze scale, it’s just that you have to weigh yourself and then open the iPhone app and wait for it to connect to the scale via Bluetooth and then the Health data is updated. Ideally I could skip the app part each time.

My old withings scale does send the records over wi-fi to withings but if i open the app, all data will be sent to apple health. My busted garmin index worked the same(while being worse than the withings so i advise against getting one).
