How do I get the grocery list to organize? I switched it over to a “grocery” type list but it’s not doing anything.

If you want 15w in that style it’s pretty much just Belkin. Theirs are in the Apple store.

A few other manufacturers make 15w MagSafe stuff (including Anker) but they’re all weird designs or 3-in-1s.

It’s supposed to just activate when the phone is in landscape, charging and on the lock screen.

It also defaults to a City clock set to Cupertino instead of a local time clock.

I agree with this, very disturbing phone to hold, never felt right.

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.

I really liked the 5c, never understood the hate it got, and am bummed Apple never made another plastic phone.

Also, whoever said the 4s was the best iPhone was correct. The 4/4s still look awesome, we’re the right size/weight, and don’t feel that dated to use, what, 10 years later?

When you’re selecting colors for the clock in standby, the selector scrolls in two dimensions even though it’s just a horizontal list. It’s very half-baked.

On my phone at least, the alphabetic selector dial on the right side of the screen is totally unusable when trying to choose a city for the world clock. If you go to the photo standby screen, hold it down, press the + in the upper left corner, you get the "My Albums" page. You can for some reason choose "New Album..." which pops up a half-covered input box to name the album, but no keyboard appears.

Both pretty minor things, but when something is so threadbare features-wise it's weird that they left in UI bugs that I discovered just while dicking around for a few minutes.

I’m on the fence if I want the Pro or the Pro Max this year. On one hand, I like the size of the Pro. On the other, I have crappy vision and the larger screen helps.

Also 5x zoom sounds nice. I guess I could wait to see how good the Pro cameras are though?

I personally think the design of the 12 Pro was perfect. Perfect size, looks, feel. Camera bump not too big (although I use and appreciate the better lenses).

I really like how photos will try to distinguish separate dogs like it does with people so you can make smart albums of just your pet and not all the other dog photos you have.

Unfortunately two of my family’s huskies are the same colour so my phone doesn’t know how to distinguish them. 😔

not even close. Was as much grey as green. Green should be bright and full of life; iPhone greens are like dead leaves.

Dark green on the 13 is perfect imo, ruined only by the mirror sheen on the apple logo

I don't know how I feel about those new colours. Maybe they look better in person?

Man, stand by seems like it would be nice but it will not go off of Cupertino time. I removed Cupertino from my world clock set up (along with New York) and put cities in my time zone. Nope. I then specifically added a clock widget with current time as its main focus and still did not. I then changed the clock widget to four cities all within central time zone. Still nothing.

I am assuming the -2 on the clock is difference of time from my current set up so it knows where I am at, it just does not want to show it.

Can’t you just longpress the clock and change it? That’s how I would assume you change it but I’ve never bothered messing around with standby mode because I have like -5 vision in both eyes without glasses, so I’m not gonna be able to see poo poo on my phone.

It’s 50/50 imo.

Customers naturally will just pick black because it’s a "neutral" color and "I’m just going to get a case anyway."

And if any type of rep is helping a customer, it’s easy to default to "do you want black?"


That said, some colors do drive what people want. The Green on the 13 was pretty popular for a bit. For the 15s, I def have had a bunch of people specifically wanting the pink so far.

I’d assume non-Apple stores also have inventory decisions like car dealers, and they similarly choose boring colors.

No one left uncured.
I got you.
The TiPhone is the first time I have ever looked at an iPhone Pro and been in the slightest bit drawn to anything other than the black. Even the all white finish looks good as hell to me. The natural finish is scientifically a dirty lie but my god there is an appeal to it. And the blue. The blue!

Anyway I can't wait to find out what they do next year when I'll actually buy a new one. For now my 12 mini will soldier on another year, and I will continue to have a phone which is the Correct Size. I will never forgive you people for taking the iPhone mini from me.

Mine had assigned me a work phone number from ~9 years ago, really weird. I didn’t recognise it and only found it from searching my emails. Considering the phone should know what my current number is, pretty baffling

I'm definitely sad that the 14 Pro's Deep Purple isn't available on the 15. The Blue Titanium on the 15 Pro is decent but it's a very safe "professional" colour still and the only other remotely interesting colour is Natural.

That said though, yeah you'll never see it because I have a case. £100 a year on AppleCare+ plus £25 to replace screen/back glass isn't a lot but it's a lot less than a case and screen protector.
