I guess the Nomad leather cases are the ones to buy now that Apple ones are gone? I had really grown attached to the green leather case for my midnight green 11 Pro Max and as far as I can tell no one is selling dyed green leather cases. I’m skeptical of FineWoven.

Belroy sells a leather case in Green that looks pretty good: https://bellroy.com/products/phone-case?color=everglade&material=leather&size=i15pro#slide-4

Any thoughts on D-Brand cases? I'm gonna check out the new weave or whatever they call it in store but I was thinking D-Brand if I didn't like it.

They should make the 4/4S in a modern size except you can't hold it wrong.

No way that UPS or whoever delivers the phones earlier. I always figured they may get the phone early but they'd never deliver it early.

Did they get rid of that lock screen where it’s the colored bubbles floating around? That’s what I had set so it kept it but I can’t make a new lock screen with that screensaver anymore.

That happens a lot. It’s street dated, but sometimes when it gets scanned into the system it briefly gives a delivery date of what it could be if not for that street date.

Apple would eliminate their bloodlines if anyone at ups let one out early.

Extremely Apple move to spend presumably a lot of developer time to create animated wallpapers, never release any new ones or allow people to create their own, and then quietly remove them years later.

Just use a Live Photo. The "New Sticker" preview should be animated as well.

(the wallpaper scanner does work but it kinda sucks and rejects a lot of images for no discernible reason. for landscape stuff it seems heavily biased towards standard sky-mountains-foreground style images)

I got you.
I assume people have been complaining all day in here already about this incredibly stupid bullshit but just in case anyone wasn't aware, as far as I can tell you can't edit your Standby widgets anywhere other than while Standby is active, so if you try to pick your phone up off its stand while editing it'll cancel out, and also notifications while in Standby are enormous screen-filling deals that don't go in a list or anything and you can't access notification center from Standby because swiping is overridden for swapping between widgets and also those screen-filling notifications can interrupt editing.

Like I'unno it seems like a cool feature that probably pops on an always-on display but needs another year in the oven.

Yeah there are like no widgets that use it right now, from what I’ve seen? It’s just kind of a feature preview almost.

I’m sure apple’s lawyers have the phrase “corruption of blood” in those contracts.

Apple explicitly has a "do not deliver until street date" flag for UPS

the closest they can get is your local UPS warehouse until the 22nd

Yep, this was an issue during the early betas that I absolutely thought was either going to get fixed later before release, or it was buried in the settings menus somewhere I couldn't find. Absolute lmao that this is still the case.

I honestly expect StandBy to never get another update until the inevitable HomePods with screens and then probably never get much more than that.

My first iPhone was the 5C with the silicone case that had holes cut out in the back. I adored that phone, looked so good in person.

Oh and there's no controls over which notifications pop up in Standby, and on iOS the push notification service is separated from the apps sending them, so as far as I can tell it is impossible to prevent eg Discord notifications that would otherwise roll harmlessly through your Notification Center or off the top of your screen from just eating your screen if people are chatting without messing with either the global notification settings or the settings in the app. loving, clown poo poo from Apple on this account.

Yeah, I have an Anker stand/charger on my desk and a fair amount of time it's in landscape mode so Standby was an instant turn off for me.

lol I just got to this feature and yeah, roughly half of the pictures it suggests for my contact photo is not me. It’s not random though, it’s always a friend who I’m in a lot of pictures with. But it’s just weird because iOS knows who that other person is: they’re identified properly and in their own <Person> album in photos.
