Recently Siri changed. Now when we say "turn the Basement Lights off" it asks "did you mean Basement Lights in your house?  ".I did do the iPhone Home update recently, is there any way to revert the behavior? Did the update accidentally set up an empty vacation home or something in HomeKit which is why Siri is asking now?

It’s part of the charm. I used “hey Siri, all lights off” last night (it’s a scene that… turns all lights in my house off), and it turned the kitchen off, but the hallway lights came on.

While I’m grousing about the HomePod, here’s a question: I sometimes also have a podcast playing on the HomePod when an alarm goes off. Is there any command that will silence the alarm but keep the podcast playing? I’ve tried saying “stop alarm”, tapping the top, everything I do stops the alarm and also the podcast. Then when I say “resume podcast” it will start playing an episode I listened to a week ago or something

EL BROMANCE posted:I wish there was truth to the rumors years ago that Apple were looking at setting up MVNOs in a bunch of markets so traveling with your phone would be cheaper and seamless, with eSIMs being the default standard these days. Still makes me laugh whenever I land somewhere I get a text from AT&T joyfully telling me if I even sniff a MB of data while roaming I’m going to be paying through the rear end for it. It is funny that with both AT&T and Verizon that I can actually go to Nogales Mexico without my phone picking up a Mexican tower but if I go to Parker Canyon Lake 10 miles north as the crow flies of the border at least, I instantly get a text welcoming me to Mexico and what the rates are (considered a local network now with both so I don’t know why they bother). Proof of geometry.

There seem to be a few of them but no idea which of them isn't a scammy waste of time Geotagr will do this. It’s actually gotten less seamless as the gears of time grind on but it still works.

Jose Oquendo posted:I would recommend calling Apple and getting a quote. They do repairs like that for a flat fee. It might be a little more than $200, but you'll at least know it's most likely being done properly and the repair itself will have a warranty. I did do this, and it was something crazy like $499. I wound up going with https://celltechrepairs.com/iphone-back-glass-repair/ who did it for just $99. I got the phone back today and it looks fine to me, time will tell, but for $99 im not too worried about it.

So, relatedly, is there a process for migrating from my 12 Mini to this phone, SIM-wise? I'm on AT&T in the US, do I just swap the SIM over, or is there more to it? The small size of the 12 Mini hurts my thumb, which is already arthritic, and the size of the XS Max seems to alleviate it somewhat

For the SIM just swap it over. They should both be using nano-SIMs so no adapter or anything will be needed.

will I have to log into my account and do anything or does the new phone just magically become my old one as far as data, phone# and all of the AT&T services are concerned?

I want a super basic grippy soft touch silicone case for my iPhone 13 with decent drop protection like air pockets/bumpers + screen lip + camera lip. Any suggestions?

Not silicone, but I usually grab a cheap Ringke Air tpu case. Has plenty of raise-ivity and is grippy. Con: all the transparent ones yellow with age.

It’s not goon consensus (goonsensus?), but I have a pair of Sony’s catchily named WF-1000XM4 earbuds that work pretty dang well. They don’t support Siri, so that might be a dealbreaker for you, but since I don’t use Siri unless I absolutely have to it’s an omission I don’t notice.

Apple's warranty cover their devices for a year, and you're likely in a region with strong warranty laws - why aren't they repairing them for free if they're only 6 months old? That doesn't make sense. I'm going to be that annoying goon who recommends AppleCare for AirPods.

I want to say I get around five-ish hours between having to put them in their charge case with ANC on. If you use them with something that supports LDAC then that’ll be lower, but the iPhone doesn’t support that codec. Sony is pretty proud of their earbuds though and charge quite a bit for it. I like the buds, but absolutely you should try to get them on sale instead of at their $280 USD msrp.

I replaced them two times in the first year(using the original seller), a third time at the end of the second that counted as using the recall (using the apple store since the original store told me i was scamming them with all the repair requests and denied me). Adding applecare would meant that for another hundo i would have gotten another set today that would have lasted barely in next year given the average lifetime recorded until now.

You sound pretty tough on your devices - I doubt the average AirPods user is replacing them 3x in one year. I wish you the best of luck getting warranty support for non-Apple earbuds in the future.

SlowBloke posted:I'll keep an eye out during next week amazon prime days, they usually discounts sony xm buds during those The Sony LinkBuds S seems to be pretty highly favored by people as well, especially in the microphone department as it seems they might have better mics than the 1000XM4 buds, and they’re $80 USD cheaper at MSRP to boot. This is the LinkBuds S though, not the regular LinkBuds with the weird open-back design thing. E: fwiw I’m not super hard on my earbuds. I mostly use them when I’m doing a specific task at work that requires me to sit at my desk and work an excel sheet for six-seven hours one day a week. All other times I’m using them are pretty sporadic. Don’t want to come off like a Sony shill, I’ve just personally liked the set I have, which I used to replace a set of original AirPods Pro that hosed up and died a month after their warranty expired.

They do not switch seamlessly like this, at least not for me. I do have to go to the BT menu and tell it to connect. They support multipoint, but I’ve had some issues with that working consistently across Apple devices. If that seamless transfer is super important, I’d recommend sticking with AirPods.

I do believe there's some design issues with the 1st gen AirPods Pro. I had to get mine replaced twice for the same issue. That said, I bought the 2nd gen at launch and they're fine so far. No issues. Hell, yesterday I dropped them and the case went flying open and the earbuds went flying, and everything still works.

I went through five individual airpod pro earbuds in the space of two years, all free replacements. I've had beats fit pros for about a year and a half and have had no issues e: siri imessage dictation is a proprietary feature. apple multi-device handoff is a proprietary feature, though other bluetooth headsets will let you pair multiple hosts with varying levels of reliability and ease of use Clark Nova fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jul 8, 2023 |

Yeah the headphones with that apple chip in them work like magic and are the promised land of Bluetooth things imo. Like I haven’t tried to reconnect them to any device, PC or Linux or whatever, and had it take longer than 20 seconds, across all makes and models, regardless of how long ago the last connection was. But of course it’s even faster and more seamless if you have all apple poo poo.

Magic is overstating it a bit, but it is nice when it works. Sometimes only one bud will connect and I have to put them back in the case, then back in my ears to retry the connection.
