Are sleep alarms a new sleep-specific thing? On my desk-side iPad I just have a 4am alarm in Clock.app that has the Alert tone (or whatever the loving klaxon is) that is set to go off M-F and I never have to think about it again. Wakes me up and sounds like the start of WW3.

some kinda jackal posted:Are sleep alarms a new sleep-specific thing? Yeah, well, a few years old at this point. You set up a sleep schedule in the health app and it reminds you to go to bed and ties in with sleep tracking, and has its own alarm tunes. I like them, they fade in and become gradually more difficult to ignore, but they don’t work for everyone.

Ah gotcha. This is one of those things where I’ve been setting the alarm on the Clock app for years and hadn’t even considered there may be a better way. Though lacking a harsh tone option I suppose it’s better I didn’t realize. Just RIP if you try to gently coax me awake with birdsong.

I really hate the thing where there's a bug in the latest main release, it's fixed in the subsequent betas for the next release, and then is back again when the next main release comes out.

Does anyone have that issue where Google Maps resets when you put it in the background? I’ll search for directions, jump to another app and come back to find that Google Maps has returned to its home page, losing all my directions. This has been happening for weeks and I can’t find a solution online.

I have AppleCare+ on my 13 Pro that's gonna expire in the fall and I've never used it. My screen has a small-ish scratch in the middle that's usually invisible but you can see it if the light catches it right. Also you can feel it with your fingernail. Will they replace the screen for Additionally, my battery is at 86%. I probably won't do a battery replacement until right before my AppleCare+ expires. Is it a hard rule that they won't do it for free unless you're at 80% or less? Or is it more up to the Genius's discretion. And if I want to replace the battery anyway, they'll just charge me like $70? Is that price the same regardless of whether or not I have AC+?

The dark green 13/wach 7 is a really gorgeous colour. Also why won't Apple release different coloured AirPods. Everything else in their line that's designed as something a bit more personal has a load of colours to choose from. If they did a non-white set of airpods I'd buy them in a second. I don't want to look like I'm in an IPod TV ad from 2022. Even in black or grey or something. Cmon Tim

Have to buy Beats to get colors: https://www.beatsbydre.com/earbuds/studio-buds?sku=MJ503 But seriously, surprised they did colors for AirPods Max. Maybe because white didn’t work well at that scale.

Up to the vibe of genius and manager, plus software battery test results that use a couple variables in addition to the %. I don’t think a manager would be able to approve a battery replacement if the software battery test passes, but I don’t think Apple publicizes what variable constitutes a pass or fail, besides that 80% commonly known number. Mine was on the cusp a while back, was above 80% but failed the test, so I got a battery. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Feb 3, 2023 |

Like you said, it's not just the percentage but other tests that have to pass or fail. They got even more strict on those as time went on. Before, I could just put in the repair thing "bad battery" and I could get a replacement. Then they started demanding the online tests for everything battery related so it became harder to fudge stuff to get new batteries (when I knew 100% that the battery was bad). I would say unneeded or 'fraudulent' battery replacements were a huge issue for them.

I upgraded from an 11 Pro to a 14 Pro and I'm kinda meh about it. Battery life seems the same as my aging battery which is weird. The photos don't really look better but I've only taken a few dozen. It's noticeably heavier and less convenient to use as a result. The dynamic island is sort of neat I guess but very little supports it. On the plus side of things I do like the display a lot and it's incredibly zippy in general. Maybe I should've waited another generation, felt like spending a lot of money and not getting much of an upgrade but I guess that's cellphones now, everything is incremental. I almost went with a Pro Max but 6.7" is insane for my average sized hands.

Can you still get the test done over the phone through Apple Support? Back a few years ago they could run the test and advise you to go in store to get the battery replacement done if it failed testing even though percentage was over 80.

Any parents notice that the Screen Time limits for kid phones aren't working... like at all? It seems like it's been happening since 16.2 or so. I'll set app limits, say an hour on a specific app, and when I check the usage, it shows the hour glass like it timed out, but it shows 5 hours of usage. Like it's not actually blocking it out after the limit expires. I have the option set to block at the limit too. And also, if I try to change downtime, the changes don't take. If I go back out of the settings and back in, the old values are there. It's just like nothing at all is working when you set screen time for kid phones now.

No AC+, replace the battery literally a day after you get a new one, they don’t care, $79 fee. More details here: https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair I’m no expert on battery pricing or computer toucher labor cost but it seems at a $79 price point, it’s being subsidized or is a bit of a loss leader to keep folks in the ecosystem. Not much to profit off of at that price point it seems. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Feb 3, 2023 |

The labour involved is arduous, but that’s due to their own bad design decisions and they should not be allowed to punish consumers who need batteries. I mean I also remember the early phones where you could slide open the back and easily remove batteries, but it's one of those things where you just gotta accept that that the smartphone industry has pivoted into making fancier/luxury devices (like the luxury watch market), which means higher service costs (you shouldn't disassemble a rolex yourself), and there are upsides to that (it'll be waterproof and have fewer points of weakness/wear). So I agree that yeah, it should be cheap and/or free for everyone, but the reason we got here isn't due to some wild oversight. I think the reason your gooniness got called out was the suggestion that the whole industry somehow hosed up and fell asleep at the wheel and ended up with sealed uniobody phones, when there are good practical reasons why that's happened. It's the reason you can drop your phone down the toilet and it'll still work absolutely fine, and a way for phones to have much nicer designs. Also, it's worth noting that they've put an actual hinge on the inside of the 14 series to make it easier to replace the battery then its ever been. I also agree though that if you're really against that philosophy, there are phones out there that are more open and repairable (like the Fairphone), but you'll be making other tradeoffs when using them (the Fairphone isn't very good). edit: If we are griping though, I hate how phone manufacturers take cracked screens as nullifying your warranty, even if there's a defect with the insides of the phone after warranty. I had a Galaxy S8 or something, where it stopped charging and something had clearly burnt out in its internals, but they wouldn't do a warranty fix because the glass was cracked, even though that thing is all curved glass everywhere.

They’ve changed their designs with the 14 specifically to make it less of a ball ache to change batteries, effectively admitting that they were wrong. Apple broke 2 of my phones doing a battery swap over the years and had to give me a new one.

Yeah it’s famously not possible to change the batteries in a watch right? Other manufacturers have more serviceable phones with the same or better waterproof rating, it’s unrelated, but a different design challenge.

Hey captain clever I said luxury watches, which is a market apple takes a lot of its design cues/philosophy from (for better or for worse) - this idea that it's a tightly packed precision sealed machine that should only really be tinkered with by a professional. Which I don't think anyone in this thread will say is a good thing, but like they're taking clear cues from this idea that it's a luxury piece of precision engineering that it wants regular people to back off from messing with. But to answer your question, no, luxury watches like rolexes or whatever are usually & famously automatic/self winding and don't use batteries, but need servicing as regularly as an iPhone and in any case you really don't want to open one up yourself.

What's the best way to get all of the photos (a lot of them) from my iphone onto my windows computer? I try to drag and drop but inevitably hit some kind of glitch that stops the transfer and I am unable to pick up where I left off as seemingly random photos were transferred and apple insists on arbitrarily sorting things into random folders? There are some apps that do this?
