FYI Amazon has the same deal as target and Best Buy now, $15 Amazon gift card when you buy a $100 iTunes card.

Subjunctive posted:I feel like my battery life is worse on my 14 Pro Max than it was on my 12 PM too. Widgets and Home Screen (thanks, autocapitalize) are only at 2% of battery, so if that can be believed it’s something else. AO display obviously costs something, but I’m not sure if that’s it. Always on display definitely drains a noticeable amount of power. Try disabling that and see. Also disable background app refresh, disable 120hz by going into accessibility/motion and 'limit FPS' along with turning on airplane mode when you are at home but leave wifi on for wifi calling, will all save you a ton of power and give you some more battery longevity. You can also prolong the battery life by charging with a 2.5W/5W charger only.

Can iTunes cards be used to pay for services (ATV+, Apple Music, etc)? I remember a time when certain Apple gift cards couldn't be used for certain things, but that might be over?

Yep, they’re all “Apple gift cards now” and just get applied to your balance. I’m getting an error using their code on Amazon though. Same thing happened for their last sale too. Ugh.

Fantastical, my favorite macOS/iOS calendar app is offering half off their premium membership through the weekend: https://flexibits.com/ Family accounts are particularly affordable if you have a few nerd friends who would be interesting in something like it. It’s feature-rich, and I really love the natural text entry and menubar quick entry keyboard shortcuts on my laptop. It also shows upcoming reminders within your calendar, which is pretty nice, along with the ability to create "Calendar Sets" to group and view specific calendars across services.

Yup, so I always add it to my apple balance and it just pays the Apple one plan. So , assuming you planned on using the company you get the gift card from , it’s essentially 15% off Apple One. We use target and Amazon , so I did those two. I rarely shop at Best Buy, so unless I have other purchases planned there I just skip it. I do a little bit of this this time of year. A few of the subscription services offer stuff like half off for a year, so I did it for some of those two (cancel and add in that case).

Going from an 11 to a 13 mini, it’s nice to have a phone that’s easy to use one handed. Keeps my posting hand free.

Has anyone else found autofilling for user/pass, offering to hide email and seemingly the most frequent issue: credit card payments has become really hit and miss? Can’t tell if an issue in a recent iOS update or just poo poo rear end developers not making their input boxes easily detected by the system but it’s gotten awful.

I think my iphone 6 (yes really) is finally dying, it's max battery life is 87%, and though I rarely use it, it drains very quickly. I'm looking at buying an SE, either 2nd or 3rd gen. are there any differences between the two that are relevant for someone who only uses it for phone calls, texting, and pictures?

The 3rd-gen SE has 5g (maybe relevant if you end up keeping the thing past 4g’s shut off date lol) and dramatically better battery life. It also has a faster CPU, which isn’t really noticeable at all, as the 2nd-gen still feels extremely fast. The camera is identical (except for maybe some machine learning features?) between both and kind of lovely compared to what a main series iphone or nicer android has. Having had both I’d say buying a 3rd-gen is worth it, mostly for the battery life.

There's no LTE shutdown date yet (ignoring that T-Mobile shut down the legacy Sprint LTE networks)

The 13 mini is your other option if you want something small. Having had both I think the mini is worth the jump in price for the larger screen.

LTE is going to be around for a long time yet, there's simply too much using it. Plus plenty of new devices for sale right now that don't have 5G. (I think the original ref was a throwaway joke about using an iPhone 6 in 2022)

It's amazing how versatile and useful an old iPhone can be. I got years of service from my XR and honestly am too stupid to tell much of a difference from a 14pm. I know the framerate is better but iOS 16 or something makes the battery last not so long. Nice phone though and I'll probably still be using it in 2025.

As a final gently caress you, Apple Music lost all my playlists when my trial sub ended. Everything. Recent playlists, but also stuff over a decade old that I didn't edit during the sub. They're still backed up on iTunes on my pc, but what the hell?

Weird, I've always kept my Match subscription but it's never tampered with my playlists whenever I've ventured into Music (like yourself, on trials).

101 posted:That's because you kept your Match subscription drat, I was hoping it was just a bug for that dude but that's pretty lovely it would be tied into that. Match is still useful and cheap enough I won't cancel it but nobody should lose their playlists that are unrelated to the service if they were to.

I've never brought a box of apple scrap, but I have brought abandoned phones and ipods in. As long as the batteries aren't bulging they'll accept anything made by Apple. If it's relatively recent stuff they can give you an apple gift card for it.. they got a list of prices on their website. https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in You can just walk in, they don't really seem to enforce appointments anymore though can make one if you want to.

Either Wireguard or iOS doesn't seem to like quick network hopping too much. I have it frequently happen that the VPN connection gets stuck in "Connecting..." state, loving up networking, and requiring a reboot. It appears to happen when I cross country borders and it's switching between various 4G connections back and forth and occasionally onto 5G and back. Not sure if this is an iPhone Pro 14 thing or whether it came with iOS 16. Because that didn't happen in the past.

5/5S/SE is by far the coolest design. I just picked the SE because I think the Space Gray or whatever is slightly more stark looking than the Midnight of the 5.

My iPhone X works fine when I plug headphones into the lightning port. It will not charge when I plug any of the cords I have into the lightning port. Is the port dead? Will getting a new phone magically make my car's microphone work over bluetooth and carplay?

It likely just has some lint or other crap in it that is blocking the power pin but not the audio pin.
