Also what if I don’t have a windows or mac desktop to perform that backup? Could I just reformat the phone, choose no backup option, let iCloud download my photos and contacts for me?

Surprise T Rex posted:My XR is occasionally laggy as hell, like to the point of taking 4+ seconds to respond to the shutter button press in the camera, or a webpage locking up not only Safari but even my ability to switch apps or go back to the Home Screen. I go by Android rules: factory reset after a year or a letter os upgrade, no matter what. It'll help. Even ios has trouble getting rid of old garbage files. Surprise T Rex posted:Also, what is the System Data using up tons of my storage? Deleted photos/files being held for thirty days just in case you change your mind, spotify poo poo, garbage files, temp files, and a bunch of other stuff. Factory resetting usually removes a good chunk of it.

Yeah, you could do Erase All Content & Settings. There's a few extra steps because when you do this it assumes you're giving the phone away, so you have to turn activation lock off and then back on. But after erasing, you could restore an iCloud backup. Make sure there's an actual iCloud backup in addition to whatever is already being saved through iCloud. e: You could also do what you described by setting it up as a new phone, in which case logging in to your Apple ID and iCloud would download your contacts, photos, etc. But restoring an actual iCloud backup is a lot less work and still removes all the junk data.

Just a quick bit for AirPods Pro OGs, my set repaired last September is starting to croak again. I've opened the support article again to see if the recall was still active and apple has added an expiration to it, three years since the original purchase date, so late this year it will be over.

So, apple weather app seems to be a bit hit or miss lately. With Dark Sky gone (rip) any specific weather apps people use? Anyone have better luck with apple weather app (I thought I heard they had some issues with it but I am not quite sure).

Yeah Apple Weather has been having issues on and off lately. Carrot is the only other one I’ve tried and it’s fine, I’m just not interested in paying for it.

It’s absurd that they claimed the integrated dark sky into apple weather and shut down the app.

I've been using Carrot for awhile. Despite its reputation as the app that swears at you, you can set it so it's just a normal weather app. It's super customizable, so you can pick the info you want to see, as well as the source of the data. Not all features are free (I think you can only use OpenWeather if you're not on premium).

Yeah carrot is fine once you turn off the personality stuff. It’s cute but imo gets annoying after a while.

So there’s no time limit for the free stuff ? We’ll give it a roll then, I just don’t want to pay annually for a weather app. While we lived Dark Sky, we just need basic daily forecasts, nothing fancy.

For what it’s worth, Hello Weather (https://helloweather.com) is very good and has a couple of sources I didn’t see in Carrot. I think it’s something like $1/mo if you sub annually.

SE editions seem to be out every two years. The Ultra is rumored to maybe get an update this year but who knows so far. If you could wait till September for the Series 9 that might be your best bet. At the very least you'd be able to get the 8 for a nice low price.

Do any of the weather apps let you put a widget on the Lock Screen in place of the little weather blurb? I love that widget and I’m not ready to give up the lovely Weather.app if it means that goes away

Absolutely wait to get an S9 if you can manage it. The 6, 7, 8, SE, and Ultra all use the same CPU (technically different SoCs, but the actual processor is the same), and the S9 is expected to finally update that.

That would be the best choice maybe, but I can't possibly imagine the S9 chip doing something so insane that getting an S8 on some fire sale wouldn't cover. I'm just saying if you find the S8 at a really really good price that would sway you to that over the S9, it's not a bad choice either.

They're at the point where everything you'd want to do on a watch already happens fairly instantly, but I guess if the CPU uses a new process is could improve battery life? That's the main thing really. But otherwise, if you're happy with a watch with an approx 18 hr battery life, a 7 or 8 at a good discount will do everything you want. I don't think any amount of improved CPU will make you want to use an Apple Watch as your phone replacement or whatever. Honestly, because it's something you're going to wear on your person, I would strongly suggest just going for whichever series has the colour you want in the size you want. If menstrual tracking is important to you, go for the 8. The caveat here is whether they update the series watches to be more in-line with the Ultra, but I don't know how likely that is.

I've had a 5 for a few years now and it's mostly fine. The only think I'd like out of a newer one is faster charging which I think the last model or two do? But I've still been holding out and a CPU refresh might get me to finally pull the trigger.

I have an older DSLR and would appreciate some way to automatically geotag photos taken with it - is there a recommended app that will export locations and timecodes and let me apply locations to them as part of my Lightroom import? There seem to be a few of them but no idea which of them isn't a scammy waste of time

Got my iPhone XR battery replaced back in October 2022. Health is already down to 95%. Should I have it looked at if it’s down to 90% by September? My previous battery took 4 years to get down to 85%

For the entire first 15 months of owning my 13 Pro, the battery stayed at 100% health. Then within the last four months it's dipped down to 92%. I never tried to "janitor" it or anything, the one thing I noticed is that I don't think I ever let the battery get below 10% and once I finally did, that's when it started dipping fast. It could have been that, but it also could have been nothing I did. There's no real way to know.

But I figure thats apps in 2023 being bigger performance hogs than they were when the phone released in 2018, so maybe my phone is taking more energy to do the same things? definitely heats up like it does.

14 Pro from November ish at 100%, but it sits on a wireless charger all day on my desk, so I guess that helps ? I always forget how batteries deplete.

I'm also still at 100% on my 14 Pro, and I'm pretty sure slow charging it at 500mA helped with that.
