I have that stand. I really like it but the watch magnet isn't as strong as I'd like. If you use a metal band that has a bit of heft the watch will slide a bit and not charge.

Okay this public beta on my phone is definitely sucking down some battery. I usually end the workday with around 80% and today I'm down to 56%. Meanwhile my watch seems to be similar to watchOS 9. I'm definitely enjoying iOS 17 the more I use it, all the little quality of life changes really do add up in the end and it's definitely a nice improvement over 16. I still would love a big redesign update like iOS 7 just to have something fresh

If you just installed it there could be some background indexing going on.

Oh that’s true, I was just assuming it was because of extra telemetry or something. That definitely makes sense. In a week or so I’ll probably have a more accurate sense of the battery usage for this first public beta

Is there a handy spreadsheet of all the new features and which ones are compatible with older iPhones? With an iPhone XS and not knowing other people using Apple stuff (for the iMessage upgrades etc) I legitimately don’t know if there actually are any new features in iOS 17 I can use.

The tiny footnotes with the numbers on the IOS17 page do indicate which feature is for what device. Otherwise any apple-aligned site has made lists for that https://9to5mac.com/2023/06/07/ios-17-which-features-work-with-your-iphone/

Standby is the only thing so far that won’t “work” for me on the 13p but that’s fine. I wasn’t planning to upgrade till the 16 anyways.

OLED screens have finite lifespans, keeping it on just for the standby images means the screen could theoretically die before the average warranty period. Always on means the phone will send the images every now and then to the screen instead of constantly, letting the screen manage refreshing and so on which will waste less lifetime of the consumables. Apple watch has a "off until you shake the device/tap the table" mode which is perfectly fine and i'm expecting the same for the phone. Or we could go back to the glory days of speaker + watch docks of yore https://www.philips.com.hk/en/c-p/AJ7030D_12/alarm-clock-radio-for-ipod-iphone EDIT: found my old 30pin dock for my ipad that did exactly the same things https://www.amazon.com/iHome-Docking-Speaker-iPhone-Packaging/dp/B00MOQ07XI SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jul 14, 2023 |

Is there a way to set up the nightstand layout without actually putting the phone on a charger and holding it sideways? I don’t see it in Settings > stand by.

Samsungs have had OLED always on displays for years and they are fine aside from immolating themselves in your pocket or having the Androids? I mean do what you want with your phone, I don't give a poo poo, it just seems like an extremely arbitrary line to draw for a feature that works completely fine

There’s no way to do it outside of putting it on a MagSafe stand sideways. (At least for now, but I wouldn’t expect that to change)

I have no utility of AOD, so why should I impair the OLED screen, with what prone to wearing out eventually. I guess in your world, there's no thing like burn-in? Then again, there's also people that claim to not see the difference between cinematic framerates and say 60fps. But thanks for your insightful rebuttal.

Combat Pretzel posted:Because it's an OLED screen. Oled screen life has improved year over year, to the point you need to run them for around 4000 hours on a static image to get noticeable image retention, and that's without using measures to prevent it. And if you run dark mode religiously, most of the pixels won't be on in the first place, lasting even longer. This also extends battery life. You can get 25-50% longer battery life versus an led of the same size. Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jul 14, 2023 |

I just found myself looking at the screen more to see if something came in since it was “on”.

I just found myself looking at the screen more to see if something came in since it was “on”. I have a decent amount of friends who turned off their Watch's AOD and often wondered why, the benefit for me is being able to glance down and actually see the time without having to move my wrist or whatever - I can't say it being always-on makes me pay attention to it more. I'm heavily reliant on vibration forcing my attention, so the AOD really doesn't come into play for me. Hell, I even turned off my iPhone's vibration, even when it's silent, so it's only the most important notifications that vibrate through to my watch at this point - bye bye phantom vibrations. Even if I had an iPhone had an AOD, I'd keep the feature on but keep my phone's display face down when it's resting on a desk. The AoD nightstand mode would definitely be something I'd use, though.

It sounds like you won't even need to consider a Pro model when you upgrade - you don't care about AoD, nor do you notice the difference between the 120hz display compared to 60hz. $300 more for just an extra camera lense would seem pretty silly.
