You mean, again, or is this news like a month old?

Edit: looks like I got the notification for the increase on October 28.

I had not read an email about it but CNN had an article about it. But it honestly seemed like they had just went from $4.99 a month to $6.99 less than 6 months ago.

I’m not sure if this in a iPhone 15 pro thing or an iOS 17 thing, but I’ve noticed that the camera on this phone seems to favor low iso over a higher shutter speed. My photos are coming out blurry more often than not because it’s trying to take everything at 1/60 and iso 125, when it could opt for a little higher iso and raise the shutter. Any photo of my dog is usually pretty blurry, for example because she’s usually moving. Maybe it’s because it’s putting it in portrait mode automatically? It’s pretty frustrating, I don’t remember the camera on my XS behaving this way.

That’s been standard behavior for a while AFAIK - phone will raise ISO until it can hit 1/60 shutter speed, but it won’t trade off past that point. (1/60 is usually fine for handheld shots to remain crisp, though obviously there are exceptions.)

Has anybody else been experiencing horrendously slow wi-fi speeds since a recent update? I'm talking like <1 meg down (while all other devices on every wifi network I've tried are getting > 200 down). I've had to turn of my wifi completely to do anything at all lately. I've gone through every setting, reset my network settings, and I'm just at a loss.

For action you want to aim for 1/100+. For dogs running, more like 1/200th. Best bet (and I'm becoming a broken record on this) is to download Lightroom (free) and use the camera function there to set manual shutter. Leave ISO and aperture on auto.

Bit of a stupid one, is there a way to force the “Announce notifications over AirPods” (still don’t understand why this requires AirPods specifically but whatever) feature to not voice emojis?

I like to add an emoji to my reminders to make them easier to quickly glance at, but having my headphones say stuff like “empty the laundry laundry basket” for “Empty the laundry 🧺“ is a tad annoying.

Carriers do more discounting really. Like ATT has the 14 for $5/36 months ($180). Last year they had the 12 Pro for free with 36 months of service or something. It’s the only way I buy phones for kids.

Can’t speak for other carriers, but ATT ones are for everyone. You just need to have 3 years of service with them.

You can toggle slow motion being 120 or 240 in the Camera settings, maybe yours is set to 120?

The info button on the video in your gallery will also tell you the framerate of the saved video.

Small fyi I learned today: if you’re paying for Apple one, you can get free streaming with certain security cameras.

Main downside seems to be there’s a limited amount of camera manufacturers that participate (why let your camera work with Apple when you can charge your own monthly). I’ll be researching on this a bit to see if those cameras work fine, or if a separate one is worth the monthly difference.

It’s at 240, but I’ve tried both and they seem to run at the same speed but just obviously with fewer frames in the 120 version. Maybe I’ll need to do more testing, could just be that my dog that I’m recording in slow motion is slowing down with age. :(

I can change the playback speed in iMovie which gets the job done, though it’s something I wish I could do in the video itself so that I’m not having to export a duplicate video to change the speed.

Isn't it more of an homekit+icloud feature? Which apple one provides, but if you got any paid icloud storage you can use homekit to upload footage via their "secure video" feature. I think the lowest icloud option allows one camera and it goes up from there.

I've used it for a couple years with a logitech circle view, it works quite well and is definitely worth dealing with the limited hardware selection. Biggest issue is making sure the camera has a good wifi signal.

Yeah, I should clarify that it’s iCloud+, which is included with Apple one.

50GB = 1 camera
200GB = 5 cameras
2TB = unlimited


And yeah, I would agree with you. Most camera subscriptions are $10-30 a month, so you find the right setup that helps a lot right there. Although obviously Apple could always change the pricing , but that seems to be all cloud services, streaming services, etc right now.

FYI Target has the buy $100 iTunes gift card, get $15 target gift card. It let me do it for 3 of them (I did 3 separate orders, didn’t try did a 4th). So 15% off.

If you happen to have a Discover IT card, you also get 5% cash back at target. I only remembered this after ordering the first 2, so I got 2% back on two of them, 5% back on the third. Whoops.


Anyway, it’ll help with Apple raising all their prices.

When we take a family holiday, I typically put all the good photos in an album, select the "Play Memory Video" option, set it to landscape and export it as a video, to have a quick and dirty highlight reel to bore relatives and passersby with.

Now that all our photos are in the Shared Library, this option doesn't seem to exist.

Does anyone know a good way to achieve the same result?

edit: hah! It was because there were more than 500 photos in the album.
Shared Library is nothing to do with it.

I get DAZN for free which is a boxing streaming service that costs $200 a year. I had it for a year when it was half that price and I guess I subscribed through Amazon.

I canceled it two years ago and I still have a sub, when I go to my account it just says “manage it through Amazon” and when I click the link I have zero Amazon subscriptions.

It sucks now which is why I canceled but I still use it a couple nights a year.

Not yet. Has been happening since I set up the phone 2 weeks ago as a new phone and used the camera for a few minutes to see what it was like. Phone definitely slows down after a few minutes of camera usage too so it affects performance too.

That's not typical behavior and Apple loosened up their standards in their new die process for the cpu/gpu chip, so there's going to be stinkers. You got a stinker.
