Is the new shopping-specific list type busted for everyone? I’m adding random common shopping items (eggs, milk, pasta, etc) and it’s all just going under “Others”. Apparently it’s supposed to auto-categorise things?

It started to work for me after a day of the typical new iOS indexing finished.

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.

You're doing all this on the standby screen, right? Long press the clock so you get the wiggley edit screen, then press the clock widget again and changing the city?

I have a 5S that I still use for podcasts and I love it for that. My 3GS was a favorite for the rounded shape alone but I’m not going to try using it regularly.

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. 😔

It’s impressive enough that it could tell the difference between the brown husky and the grey huskies, and tracking the same animal from puppy to fifteen year old dog, but I have way more dog photos than photos of my friends so I hope dog facial recognition gets better in the next few years!

I am curious about two mystery UPS packages that are making their way from China and are already in Louisville, KY.
The UPS tracking says estimated delivery is Friday, but the Apple site doesn't say anything shipped yet.

It would be nice if my phone and watch showed up early.

The watch and phone are going to hang around in limbo. Apple will excitedly tell you that they shipped when they’re like 2 miles from your house.

If you ordered an accessory like a case with your phone, that could come early.

The charging port on my wife’s 12 pro max stopped working last night. Swept it with a tooth pick and the port was clean. Charges fine via qi though so it’s just the port.

Thankfully I did the month to month Apple care. She needs a battery replacement too and I told her to ask about it but I’m not sure she will remember.

Do they automatically check everything when you take it in?

Got the mulberry wallet & green fine woven case today. The colors are a lot darker in real life and the material feels nice but I’m really curious what it’ll look like a couple years down the line. Especially the wallet as I could take that across several phone generations as long as they don’t drop MagSafe.

I've been using my ipad pro as a powerbank for a few years and it is pretty cool. I've even used it to run a raspberry pi for in-the-field shenanigans.

Not really a killer feature everyone will use, especially because the phone battery is so much smaller, but it is a cool gimmick to have available.

I don't understand why for Standby you have to choose a city for your clock rather than just showing you the time the phone is already displaying, but bigger.

How do you like the fine woven case? I thought about it, but ultimately went with my standard silicon one since it was $10 cheaper.

Yes you can. I did it last year. You can even trade in multiple items, but anything after the first turns into a gift card.

For some reason, they chose to have the default for that mode be one of the City clock widgets. As in the widgets designed to show you the time for a city of your choice. A widget like that has its uses elsewhere, but bizarre to make it the default on a nightstand digital clock mode.

They've even had the hardware to do reverse charging since the 12 generation, but it was restricted to charging the official Magsafe power bank when your iPhone was also plugged in by a cable.

Is it for the AUP?

I've seen mixed answers online. People told it was possible go into the Apple store and the employees there have no idea what to do. One thing I read was that once the kit was issued the store was blocked from taking it.

It feels more fine - as in cotton, maybe like cotton handkerchiefs - and uhhh slippery than the silicone - but the frame being made of plastic makes it grippier. It’s a very interesting departure for sure and I’d recommend trying it out in store or buying it and returning it if that’s a thing they allow (I seem to remember so). I’m sick of silicone but didn’t want leather again for ethical reasons so I’m happy with having a „luxury“ option again.

The wallet feels slick but as I started putting in cards I realized i need way more than three cards at a time so uhhh. Put in my ID and public transit card, which should cover most bases (maybe try and get my health insurance in there as well and the rest will have to go in a regular wallet still. Eh, should help with situations where Id usually forget my public transit stuff.

E: I slapped the wallet on my naked iPhone 12 Pro to try it out and now I’m debating going naked on the 15 pro lol. It handles so differently like with the swipes from edge gestures etc. Feels much more precise.

lol I’ve told this story in here before but this shadiness happened to me. When Apple got my trade in kit the box had a wire in it. lol

Someone at the ups depot opened the box and took the phone.

Apple sorted it pretty quick and gave me the trade in credit (actually more because they couldn’t verify the phone so they gave the max).

It was pretty easy to tell there was a swap because the weight of the box when I dropped it off at ups was hugely different from what they received and sent back to me lol.

This definitely happens a lot this time of year because the boxes they use are pretty distinct.

My wife forgot her Airpods on a plane yesterday. Find My is still updating it as being at the gate within a few minutes ago. That means it is still being pinged and detected by other iPhones right? It would have a much longer time if it had last detected it there but wasn't still detecting it?

Does anyone have any recommendations for faux leather cases that don't feel like cheap plastic? I' loving the look of the Bellroy and Nomad cases, but haven't found anything with a similar look that isn't made of real leather. For now i'm trying an Apple silicone case

Sounds like it. She should contact whatever airline uses that gate to see what can be done.

Wow, dodged a bullet and used lost mode for the first time. My phone fell out of my pocket while on a roller coaster today. It was one that went partially over water so I chalked it up as toast and accepted my fate of spending $1000 a couple months before new phones. My wife enabled lost mode on it, and within the hour, someone found it, turned it into the park employees at the ride, and I got it back shortly after when I got a notification that it was found. My case is shredded in one corner so it definitely took a gnarly fall, but the phone is still perfectly intact.

Super loving lucky.
