kefka can tell us shortly whether he has a keylight on the scene, but I've never really seen mine that "light".

It’s a pretty dark blue in normal lighting, it’s just how the glass is reflecting the umbrella on the light and the angle of incidence to the camera. I just quickly turned on the big lights and didn’t bother positioning them for “accuracy.” It’s a flaw of how I set it up to photograph two reflective surfaces at opposing angles. Something’s going to catch the light. But if you had it outdoors on a bright sunny day it could certainly produce that kind of color at the right angle.

The noise cancelling on the Airpod Pro 2s is kinda loving with me?

I upgraded from the Pro 1s for the USB C and better performance, and oh man is the performance better in every way, but holy poo poo that NOISE CANCEL.

After I picked up the airpods I stopped in for a quick bowl of pho and I connected the new pods and tested them out. I admit, a restaurant is probably the best case scenario for noise cancelling (a bunch of relatively blended background noise) but dude.

It's like going into the upside down in Stranger Things bro. It was legimitely weird to have waitstaff moving around me- customers carrying on- in what really felt like complete and utter silence.

I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it but it was a legitimately strange experience.

I think it affects more than just the graph. The phone said I didn’t have enough storage to apply the new iOS update until I deleted a few things off it to get it going.

Looked into it myself and apparently this has been a problem since some of the developer betas last month.

On my new phone synced content and music alone add up to 200gb but my actual used total of storage is only 160gb

I think the ios17 upgrade has some space taking residue because it didn’t want to let me upgrade to 17.0.1 until I restarted and resynced my phone (not sure which helped) and just doing that freed up some space.

Rolo

Hmm, what have we here?
No autocorrect on anything ever should do the following:

-try to correct a proper noun. I’ll type carefully, once I hit shift please buzz off for a second.

-correct an actual word to another actual word. Sending stuff like “oh nice I used to love near there” when I actually got it right the first time.

-mess with apostrophes. My phone doesn’t know the difference between its, it’s, we’re and were but it’ll still flip flop em like a dick.


Edit: had to get the apostrophes in the third bullet point to loving stay still.

You should give the new adaptive mode a go. I agree that normal noise cancelling can feel way too intense in most settings. The new adaptive cancelling actually works really well, in that it just kind of selectively softens harsher sounds and some background noise, in a way where you don't get loads of pressure against your eardrums if you're on a noisy train, or if you just still want to feel connected to the world around you. It sits between the regular noise cancelling and transparency mode and I'm really impressed with it so far. There's a toggle for it on the volume menu - it's worth giving it a go.

Yeah I have it set to toggle silent mode if it's face down (like on a table) and toggle flashlight otherwise for easy access to it when I'm too lazy to just lock my phone or swipe down the Control Center.

Actually you know what, it's not laziness, it's just efficiency :colbert:

Alright, time for some basic bitch questions. Or just fishing for recommendations.

I have a pretty long in the tooth 11. I’m leaning towards a 15 Pro. I don’t care for the extra size on the Pro Max but the better battery is slightly tempting.

I guess my question is how big is the difference between the base 15 and the Pro. I gather it’s the camera, the processor, and the USB 2.0 limitation. I’m not too fussed about the camera, but how appreciable are the processor and USB upgrades for basic use?

tldr: I’ve got a very very well used 11. Which 15 should I get between base and pro.

USB speed is irrelevant imo, no one is plugging peripherals into their phone. I suppose with the availability of usb 3 we'll start to see external displays or something but that's so far out the typical use pattern for a phone (unless you're tony stark) I don't see it being a killer feature for quite some time. Processor doesn't matter either unless you're running games or anything processor intensive. Or to put it another way, the non-pro 15 has the same processor as the pro-14 and you don't hear anyone complaining that the pro-14 is too weak.

In day to day use the only difference you'll notice is the camera. They don't give you a telephoto on the non-pro models so you're stuck with wide and insanely wide angles, which can feel limiting.

Alright, it’s sounding like maybe the base 15 is the way to go for me. Now I have to figure out if I want the Plus or not. More battery life is nice, but I also like a smaller phone. Any thoughts on that are welcome.

What are you coming from? I went from an XR to a 14 pro max because I wanted the battery life and the neat camera poo poo and my XR got lost on a hiking trip so I was up poo poo's creek, kind of literally. It was a big jump but ultimately I don't notice the difference on a day to day basis. I just like the huge phone. Actually can't answer the diff between a base 15 and pro max but I think the difference is comparable to the 14's. Coming from the XR I noticed the 14pm was a lot heavier, like a lot. And I'd used battery cases on the XR. Price wise it's just a few bucks more per month on my payment plan from my carrier so I had to do the "best' phone available.

Pro motion is noticeable imo. Nothing wrong with the 15, just adding the Pro gets you the better camera and faster refresh rate.

If you don’t care about those two things than yeah, get the 15 regular.

Sensor size matters though.. the ability for the modern big cameras to simply not have any noise is amazing. Yeah AI processing is getting amazing at removing noise but there's something special about pixel peeping a 100MP unprocessed frame from a medium format camera. The detail makes it feel like you can see everything.

Granted in a practical sense resolution doesn't matter much because almost no one is printing large enough to need 100 MP, and all us schlubs look at pictures on their phone. But for those that care about that stuff there is still a significant gap (a gap that shrinks every year).
