flashman posted:900 Cad which is ~650 usd? I donno dude it's what the lady on the phone told me, a 1400 dollar hold on cc to get a loaner and 900 to fix the screen. The cost to repair a iPhone 14 Pro Max screen is $499 CAD on Apple’s website.  Someone is not telling you everything or is taking you for a ride

It's why I still do the iPhone Upgrade Program, sure I end up being a brainless consumer who gets New Phone Every Year but that is a small bonus, for the amortized cost of a phone over 24 months with the extra AppleCare+ insurance it's not *that* much more expensive

My android phone can turn on and off 90 fps mode but it looked the same to me sometimes it's cheaper to be old I guess. Apple phones are generally more durable than android right? I was looking at Apple Care but I've never significantly damaged a phone in my life (possibly tempting fate here).

When I'm at home, it will sometimes look like my iPhone was not connected to wifi until I woke it up and it switched from the cell band to the little wifi indicator. I'm assuming I've done something to my wifi which is causing this and it isn't normal iPhone behavior. I don't believe my phone does this at work but I definitely notice it at home a lot.

You can also pay $8 a month for AppleCare+, so it’s really up to you whether or not that insurance is worth the peace of mind in the event you have any issues.

Duckman2008 posted:Dumb question: do you need the Apple credit card for this ? I'm not saying they're not dumb, but it is legitimately annoying that a cracked screen invalidates the warranty (or makes repairs way more expensive). Especially when there's an issue that you know in your heart of hearts has nothing to do with the condition of the screen. A few years back I had a galaxy phone with a nice curved screen, which got some hairline cracks in it very easily. One day the phone just stopped charging, which was a known issue with the devices, and for obvious reasons they couldn't fix it without also replacing the eye waveringly expensive curved screen. Ended up being cheaper to get a new phone. That shouldn't be so! Screens getting cracked is such a common thing, and it shouldn't be 18 generations in where they're finally designing phones in a way that means you can replace the glass relatively easily.

I get what you’re saying, but it would open a huge can of worms of subjective, case by case basis scenarios (thank you for the clarification in the beginning though lol). In general: it is a small compact device , so I would argue in general that a cracked screen means a drop, and despite phones getting somewhat more durable, a drop can later cause under the hood issues. And I’m not saying companies like Apple, Samsung, phone carriers are bastions of generosity or anything like that, but the can of worms is there are customers who take things to extreme, and this would absolutely enable a ton of that. I’ve had customers in front of me say their phone didn’t have any water damage, and I shake the phone and rice falls out of it. Most people are like most posters here , pretty reasonable, but that 5% of awful customers does ruin potential policies like that. And of course, obviously I am probably biased , but that’s just my opinions from my experience.

Apple's iPhone Upgrade program goes through Citizens bank, and you can pay for it with whatever credit card you want. You can buy the phone outright, or you can do it with Apple Card monthly installments which is like buying any other thing on their website. From what I can tell, the upside of the upgrade program is that it includes Apple Care, but the Apple Card monthly installment doesn't However, if you finance it through Apple Card, you do get the cash back on the initial purchase plus each monthly payment you make. I'd say the biggest factor Is whether or not you want a new phone every year or every 2 years.

There’s nothing stopping you from using an MVNO after the fact as far as I can tell, I’ve swapped between T-Mobile and Verizon on my last upgrade program and no one said anything.

They’ve started catching this, a bit hearsay but I have had customers recently where Apple didn’t allow them to do their yearly upgrade because they switched to whatever prepaid in the meantime. Emphasis prepaid. Switching between VZ, T-Mobile and ATT postpaid , Apple doesn’t care about that.

Got a 15 plus and it seems like a solid upgrade over my one plus 7t and moving over from Android was easier than I expected. I was surprised the migration app tried to download iOS equivalent versions of apps where it could. Any suggestions for cases with some kinda grip/loop/pop thing to hold one handed that also support MagSafe stuff? None of the common recommended cases seem to have them. Not sure I’d trust a magnetic one and it seems like I’d have to remove it to use other MagSafe stuff (car mount looks really cool).

Any way to hide shared family purchases from kid Apple IDs? I’ve done the swipe > hide in purchase history on certain apps on a kid phone, but they can just go into purchases by me and cloud button them still. Even if I hide them from my purchase history. Seems kinda weird to still show them.

Just started using this girly rear end iphone. Any recommendations for a file explorer application? I'd like to access the file system through a web browser (http/lovely password) to download/upload pictures from my computer and if worse comes to worse FTP. I don't mind paying but I do not want a subscription. If there is a better way to do this let me know, I don't want to plugin the drat cable. In the Android world I used FX File Explorer.

lol internet. posted:Just started using this girly rear end iphone. Apps are generally pretty silo'd off from each other which is more secure but means that a shared file structure is less of a thing. The closest thing would be using the in-built Files app which has its own storage as well as native access to any iCloud storage you have. You can also hook it up to Dropbox and stuff like that. However, unless I'm wrong, you can't view any photos you upload to Files in the Photos app with the nice interface and big thumbnails etc. To get stuff on there the intended way, you'll either need to upload stuff to iCloud (icloud.com or install the iCloud software on your PC and have it sync a folder similar to Dropbox, it can also pull in photos) or the miserable option of using the godawful piece of trash that is iTunes. You don't have to use a cable for this and can sync over your local wifi, but it's very much a "sync this folder" thing and not dragging/dropping individual files. The wifi sync was also a tad flaky last time I checked but it's been a while. Question Mark Mound fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Nov 27, 2023 |

lol internet. posted:Just started using this girly rear end iphone. On the slight chance that this is a real post: You can use the Files app on the iPhone to connect to a SMB server on your computer and drag/drop photos to and from the computer. Getting photos into Files from the Photos adds another step, and also getting photos into the Photos from Files, so it's not a convenient way to backup all your photos. Merely a way to copy a few photos between the iPhone and the computer without plugging in a cord or using iCloud.

As mentioned going through iCloud.com is about the closest you're gonna get to what you want, and you're going to find it exceedingly lacking based on what you're used to. Apple obfuscates the real iOS file system, and I don't think they're ever going to change from that. Additionally,
