I don't know whether this is what you're referring to, and I know it'd be better if it wasn't so opaque, but I do kind of like how opaque phones are doing background photo stuff. Both iOS and Android. Like, how it randomly decides one day to show you a photo montage of all the microwave meals you've photographed and subsequently eaten, set to smooth jazz. It feels like the phone's been working on some creepy secret project without telling you about it.

I just wish the processing of new images was prioritized a little higher. When I'm taking adorable cat pics to spam my wife with there's a 2-3 second delay before selecting the image actually selects it for me. The photo gets a little dot on it to indicate the phone is processing it, so that's something, but I demand instant cats!

Yeah I sometimes get photos taking forever to resolve or stopping you from sharing them with a pie on 3/4 full showing some kind of progress. Every time, ejecting a network share I forgot about fixes it. Really weird!

Tomorrow's the day I get my first iPhone after using Android my whole smartphone life. I'm probably going to install the Google apps alongside the iOS versions of the apps to see what I like, but is there anything you guys recommend besides patience? I picked up a bunch of cables from Monoprice to replace the ones I still use, plan on picking up a case too. Regardless, I'll most likely drop by here to ask any questions I have, excited to get away from the janky rear end Google experience

The best possible trade in for my galaxy s9+ I can get from AT&T is like 50 bucks. I'm guessing that's the best deal I'm going to get anywhere in order to switch to iphone 14 pro?  How often do people go more than the 128gb capacity? On my current phone I've still never filled up by 64gb so I imagine I'll be fine... unless I go crazy with the new camera or something (and should I get it through my carrier? Or directly from Apple? )

Regardless, I'll most likely drop by here to ask any questions I have, excited to get away from the janky rear end Google experience Don't load up your homescreen with apps and get into the habit of just swiping down and searching for most functionality, whether it be searching for an app on the app store, entering the location of a local business, opening an app, finding a contact, etc. Many of the apps you download integrate into iOS's search functionality, and you can fine-tune the settings to show or hide specific apps you use more often. Apple has a "back button" swipe gesture, but it's "per modal", meaning it won't dump you between different apps willy-nilly - it only goes back to each section's natural progression within it's timeline. This can really bother Android users who make the switch, but I find iOS's back gesture more predictable when I use it. Some apps will abuse notifications and send your marketing BS - I know Android is a little better about this, but unfortunately us iOS users are beholden by the apps themselves - Amazon, for example, doesn't offer any fine-tune notification settings, so if you want package delivery notifications, you'll have to ignore Prime Day marketing notifications and Prime TV bullshit, or turn them off entirely. Personally, I turn off most badges and only keep badges on for messaging-based apps (and likely have them on my homescreen). Another nifty trick is you can swipe an app's notification and add it to a daily summary, or mute it for an hour or for the day. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Thanks for the replies, this all sounds pretty great! I'm planning on bringing over as few apps to my new phone as possible and only adding news ones if I've found an actual need to install them. It's a good chance to break the habit of keeping poo poo installed for once a month usage. Also will definitely dive into the Tips app, I know the Pixel one was surprisingly good and helped me get adjusted to the Android gesture controls (which were not very consistent as GR noted, its an example of one of the small things that led me to decide to switch to iOS)

Regardless, I'll most likely drop by here to ask any questions I have, excited to get away from the janky rear end Google experience You'll see a load of youtubers who set up shortcuts to customize their home screens in the way you can with Android but honestly it's a huge pain to do and makes the UI feel less smooth, and if the design of the stock interface isn't to your taste then you probably shouldn't use it anyway because design is like 70% of the appeal of Apple stuff. I've never enjoyed the Mail app, because it doesn't automatically filter promotions/linkedin spam/etc in the way the Gmail client does. But the Gmail app is solid on iOS, and your google account should integrate fine with the stock calendar/notes apps. Do make use of widgets. I found them a lot less laggy than on my Pixel 6, where it'd always take a moment or two from unlocking to update. They're always ready and lookin' good on iOS. But yes it's definitely more consistent than Android in a lotta ways (besides Siri, which tends to be much less consistent than Google Assistant), which is nice. You'll probably get given a free AppleTV+ trial. Severance is really good on there. Also you won't be able to set two timers at once, which sucks, so make peace with that now, especially if you use phone timers for cooking.

Even if you use Google's native apps, it might be worth going into the system settings and adding your google account within the iOS ecosystem, just so your iPhone can easily search and filter that information across the entire OS.bagmonkey posted:Thanks for the replies, this all sounds pretty great!

Verizon will give you $400 with a 3 year contract plus a $200 switcher card. If it’s a one online plans are $70-80 a month. No pressure, but if you want more info on this feel free to PM me.

Got a 13 Mini this week and today I noticed my battery draining super fast (down to 65% after 5 hours of barely any use) and looking at battery info the culprit seems to be "Contacts - Low Signal" running in the background and using up over 45% of my battery in the last 24 hours. Quick Google search shows that this seems to be a common issue with others, and turning off Contacts sync with iCloud might solve the problem temporarily. Anyone else have this issue?

Quick Google search shows that this seems to be a common issue with others, and turning off Contacts sync with iCloud might solve the problem temporarily. Anyone else have this issue? When you first switch it on it'll eat up the battery doing mysterious Apple background things for a week or so. Same thing happened with my 13 Mini, but with other apps eating an inordinate amount of battery in the background. See if it settles down after a while, or if it is in fact some crazy bug. Turning off 'background app refresh' on most apps will also work wonders (your 5G or wifi is likely to be fast enough where refreshing apps on open will be fast enough without them constantly having to call home in the background).

This was much worse than the normal background things I've experienced in the past, and my Battery info showed 47% of the use in 24 hours was by "Contacts" doing something in the background (it also used 437MB of cellular data in the last day). The threads I reviewed suggested turning off iCloud backup for Contacts and that seems to have fixed the problem for now. Apparently Apple is aware and it will be fixed in the next update but it's just a weird bug.

ok i got my iphone SE 2nd gen, asked someone to call me so i could answer with "new phone who dis" i still have my old phone charger, so I did lightning to usb-c -> usb-c to usb -> usb wall plug (I think it's made by motorola) will there be much of a charging time difference if I do lightning to usb-c -> usb-c wall adapter (probably the 35W dual one)?

Yes, proper USB-C PD charging will be way faster, especially between 20%-80%. Here's a random chart I found:

thanks. what is PD? is charging speed using the m2 air usb-c (with m2 plugged in) pretty similar to using a usb-c wall adapter? i'm guessing so as there's very little difference once you get to 20W+ according to that graph it also seems like there's much more benefit charging up to 80, after that it's slower. i know it's designed that way. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Dec 10, 2022 |

If you go into System Profiler while charging the phone from the Mac it might tell you. Or try Coconut Battery.
