God I can't wait for the tracking number updates to break the monotony of battery health percentages.

Almost exactly two year old 13 pro max is 92%. This last year was the first year I didn’t do a yearly upgrade since they first released the iPhone.

I was hoping it would be worse so I could get it replaced by AppleCare before putting it in a drawer until one of upgrades again.

My work iPhone 12 battery was at 84% so I def needed a new work phone. I got to order my work phone and upgrade to a 13 Pro and it is literally out for delivery today.

Personally now that devices like the steam deck and the huge influx of the mini emulation devices I definitely use my phone for games a lot less now.

This might be the first year I skip another year as so far the 13Pro is still needs suiting for me. I dunno, it depends on how much Apple will give me for a trade in I suppose.

If you're curious, the 15 Pro that I didn't buy yet's battery life is at 100%.

11 Pro chugging along at 78%, next week I'll decide if the new phone is worth it to me or I just pay for a battery replacement!

Excited to graduate to a 15 Plus from a XR. I figure ProMotion is out of the question unless I wanna upgrade to the Pro lineup? I want a phone with big battery life and it seems like the Plus might be it. Also since there’s at least one telco goon here, what’s the best way to travel overseas (Germany) with a phone? My carrier charges $10 a day for all the fixings, but that seems a little drastic as I’ll be there for 14 days. Are there domestic carriers in Germany (EU? dunno how that goes) that I can sign up for and eSIM it….somehow?

We’ll see what the price differences are, but if it’s $200ish I recommend the Pro models honestly. Camera and pro motion are worth it. For international travel depends if you are VZ or ATT (I assume US). VZ will Auto Unlock a phone after 60 days, so you can get an eSIM overseas and yeah it’s way cheaper than $10 a day. If you sign up for a payment plan with ATT, ATT locks the phone until it’s paid off (not sure if they can do an international unlock). If you buy and or finance via Apple then of course it’s unlocked.

I’m doing Xfinity Mobile because my mom and her family switched everyone over (I’m in some like 7 person family plan monstrosity), so I’m not sure where that leads me. But I’m also buying the phone outright from apple, no financing at all (unless xfinity mobile has better offers, somehow? but is it safe to assume a phone will be auto unlocked if it’s not financed?)

Yeah, buying from apple it should be unlocked so just get an eSIM.

You can choose a carrier when you purchase it from Apple, or even just have it unlocked when you get it and choose a carrier afterwards. Even if it's financed you still have the options. I switched quite a while ago from Verizon to T-Mobile because I was taking a few trips a year to Japan and T-Mob works on their networks with no roaming. Of course I would still get a mobile hot spot to carry with me while there because T-Mobs speeds there were like 3G or something.

XS at 91%  I might go to a 15 this year or early next, which would mark 5 years on this phone. It still works brilliantly, though, so who knows!

I think Verizon will still charge you for TravelPass if you even use WiFi calling but don't quote me on that

Verizon really pisses me off with their TravelPass. As soon as I landed in Europe I get a text saying I’m now paying $10/day, no opt in or confirmation. Maybe it’s good for some people but I would just get a sim for a local company before doing that. It isn’t a fortune but it isn’t a good deal and I’m unemployed due to striking so I don’t like getting juiced by surprise like that. Turn off the line under cellular settings before you land if you don’t feel like getting charged.

I think it’s my fault that everyone is talking about battery health recently so my b. In my defense I only mentioned it in the context of me noticing I have to janitor my phone usage on days I expect to be out the entire day cause I use up a lot of battery looking up public transit and also taking pictures and poo poo. 🚨 In other news there’s a new macos and iOS security update out right now that’s highly recommended. It fixes a particularly nasty zero-day exploit that is actively being used that can be exploited by you simply receiving an iMessage. That’s all. No clicking or interaction required on your end.

Siri thinks I’m my mom? Also my contact card says her name instead of mine. I did a transfer from Samsung with Move to iOS. I already had two Apple accounts linked together in a Family, both with my name. Edit: I had to make a contact card for myself? iOS is weird.

Doesn’t seem to be available for the iOS 17 developer beta, which I guess could be a good sign or a bad sign.

Endless Mike posted:Eh, my plan gives us one free day per month per line so we used it in Iceland earlier this year and didn't have any trouble, really. I turned off mobile data for most things, to be fair, but still used maps and Safari and such and only hit the cap once by which time it was late at night anyway. Its 2gb of data for the business travel pass. Its "unlimited" 3g though but once it hits that its essentially not useable.

Like I said, it was fine for a day of checking maps (and you can preload those in iOS 17 so even less usage there) and searching for restaurants and such. I guess if you need to hotspot to do work then it wouldn't be great, sure.

Verizon has a new plan that includes travel pass for free. It’s an extra $10ish a month and doesn’t include free Disney.

I actually have Verizon but I’m using Airalo in another country RIGHT NOW. I’ve found that the magic combination to keep iMessage working is to make sure that data roaming on your Primary (Verizon) line is turned OFF, and that your cellular data is set to use the Airalo eSim and make sure “allow cellular data switching” is OFF. But you need to keep your Primary line on and your “default voice line” set to Primary. With this combo, I can still iMessage people using my regular USA phone number, as long as they are iPhone users of course. I can also call them using FaceTime Audio. I also have a Google Voice number set up in case I need to make any calls to hotels or restaurants or anything else that’s local to the place I’m traveling to. I only found out recently that Google Voice won’t send or receive international SMS messages, which threw me for a loop when I first got here. I just need to make sure I don’t A) place or answer any phone calls from the Phone app, and B) don’t send any SMS messages - strictly stick to iMessage. Doing either of those things would trigger a TravelPass day. And since I haven’t gotten any texts from Verizon letting me know that my 24-hour Travel Pass session has started, I think it’s working out well for me?

I legit was like "oh snap someone asked about this in the other thread, I’m gonna share this" and I go and see it was you asking the question lol. It sounds like you’re in the clear and I’m glad the setup is working. Given you still have your Verizon cell on for regular text messages, you should get message if it’s used a travel pass day, so it sounds like you’re good.

Can’t believe I can’t just turn off TravelPass completely. Sorry I know this is the iPhone thread but I just got back from a trip where I had to go through a ton of customer service texts and emails because I asked Verizon not to charge me for their ambush service
