That reminds me there is (was?) an app that puts you in one of 100 random chat rooms depending on your battery percentage. As your battery wore down it would switch to the other chat room to talk with other strangers at 37% or whatever.

That just gives me the white background.

I have to

My third pair of Lightning earbuds broke like the others and I've had it. I'm not going to spend 100+ euros on Bluetooth earbuds but there are plenty under ranging from 7 euros (yeah those are sure to be great) to like 49 euros that I'd be willing to go for instead of the 19 euro Lightning pieces of garbage. What am I in for with the cheaper stuff? I mostly listen to podcasts and audiobooks but wouldn't mind using them for music and phone calls. Aside from the Apple tax, why is the price gap so huge?

It's the change in dismissal behavior that's super annoying. Before you could swipe up anywhere to get rid of the search view. Now you've got to swipe up from home bar.

Grab the 10€ lighting to 3,5mm adapter, use whichever wired earbuds you like? The audio codec inside is proper good.

You can still tap in the limbo space instead of swipe up to dismiss. But yes, it is inconsistent.

I ran across this one trying to find the Lock Screen setup yesterday, it’s one of those little change for change-sale things Apple passes off as innovation, because I did use the screen changer there. How many users know you can change that back, or how to?

Another tip if you use dictation a lot- the keyboard changes are nice, but you can turn off the auto-punctuation feature in your keyboard settings. The code is seemingly (Hear a pause? Flip and a coin and add a period or comma) and it was bad enough in the beta I finally got feedback from my feedback to test it out more. Once that was done I tried it for 5 more minutes in the latest beta before turning it off again.

Yep when using dictation with Siri I always said “period” “comma” etc. instead of letting AI figure out what I mean. AI has its place, for example with spelling corrections it works well, but I like to say where I want my commas and what gear I want my PRNDL car in :-)

I have a 2nd Gen SE so 3,5mm means nothing to me, and the reverse is pointless because the lightning is the primary issue to begin with. It loving sucks rear end. Three lightning headphones and all of them have failed within a year. At this point I'd rather go with bluetooth, I just don't get why the price range is so ridiculously huge.

It has to do some processing in the background first, I assume running the copy subject function on every photo in your library. In my time fussing with the feature, it really only works on photos that get added to the "featured" category when selecting a wallpaper photo. New photos don't make it into that list (and I'm not sure how long it takes) so my assumption is you have to wait until the phone gets around to doing the processing.

(having any widgets active disables depth effect too)

edit - the photo might have to fit into the people/pets/nature categories too. Oh and zooming in at all disables depth effect as well.

Yeah the point is the adapter plugs into your lightning port and gives you a 3.5mm jack you can plug any headphones you want into.

There's No Limit To What We Can't Accomplish



Is there a way to launch an app or Shortcut from a widget on the lockscreen? Google led me to an app named Launcher which should be able to even if I'm struggling to figure out exactly how. I'm wondering if there's a built in option I'm missing, or if anybody has widget app to recommend.

edit: Lockflow seems to be better free alternative, still lacks a few features I'd like such as custom icons for Shortcuts.

That's what I meant by reverse, I don't trust the lightning port for audio anymore. Like I said, I've had three, THREE official Apple lightning earbuds fail on me. It's not the port on the phone because it charges fine and I've not mistreated the earbuds at all but after six months they start activating Siri on their own, maxing out the volume on their own or speeding up podcasts. They're crap. I'm done with wires, especially lightning wires.

I've been using a 2011 iPod Nano with 3,5mm Apple earbuds for podcasts instead and it works fine, by the way.

Don’t think this can be turned off. At least Apple doesn’t allow users to set trusted apps so you don’t have to see it constantly yet.

I adored both pairs of AirPods I owned, but they suffer from the dumbest engineering flaws which I am convinced are intentional so they get to sell a lot more than they might otherwise.

So, I got these: https://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Wireless-Advanced-Cancelling-Earbuds/dp/B09HLCJ844. I love them. I got a refurb pair and Jabra does it right. They were like new and one year in are still going strong. Excellent sound quality and decent ANC. Not as good as Apple, but close, and I expect they’ll last me another year or two at least before they crap out, better than Apple in that respect for sure. Good luck!

Those go for about 150 euros over here and that's a bit too rich for my blood. I'm looking at a pair of 40 euro ones currently which have had some decent reviews; I'm sure they're not top of the line obviously but more in line for something I'd use every couple of days for a few hours for podcasts mostly.

This is a security feature because so many apps were stealing user's clipboard contents. They should implement a way to turn it clipboard pasting on permanently for specific apps.

This bothered me but I didn't realize it--thanks to you both. Maybe Apple knows that swipe to search is highly undiscoverable/unused. But once you know that gesture the search button is just an eyesore.

I usually only have one home screen to have the app library one swipe away, so I'm glad I have the option to remove it. But I wonder what the hell Apple is doing with its search tools/gestures. By default in iOS 16 tapping the search button, swiping to search, and swiping for app library all overlap in functionality somewhere between 80-100%.

AT&T people - when you upload your ID to prove you're an actual person who wants a new phone, does it always take forever for them to update the order status page saying they'll cancel your order unless you comply within 24 hours? I did it on Friday minutes after I got the email/text, and it's still saying it today. If I click the link again it says it's already been done, is it too much work for them to update the page to say it's been received and just waiting to be validated? Hell the order doesn't even appear on my existing AT&T account for my fiber.

Ugh, so there is a problem and nobody so far seems to know why or how to fix it. I’m sure this bodes well for me getting my phone at launch!

How they’ve managed to overcomplicate buying a phone from a phone company is beyond me, but here we are.
