Not a fan of the color matched metal buttons on the leather cases. Saddle brown is like a gross copper color. Silver metal would be a bit more classic.

Also the silicone colors are dead boring except the red. Stone, brown, black, navy, and some pastels.

Agreed, not liking the copper at all.

Use the... lock/unlock button?

Edit: oh you mean because they got rid of slide to unlock. Yeah, no idea!

I use latex gloves on my phone all the time, works fine. Cotton blocks it though. Haven't tried gloves with capacitative pads, maybe those work? Once you're wearing gloves bulkier than that, you probably don't need to be using your phone anyway.

30 bucks more for an official OEM screen? That's an easy call.

30 bucks is a no brainer, seeing as Apple will deny you any warranty claims and blacklist your phone as soon as they see you have aftermarket parts.

Anyone order AirPod pros from apple lately? Is the shipping forecast pretty accurate? Shows feb 11 right now, and if they’re holding to that I feel like I can probably find some in stock before that, right?

Cellular data is stupid expensive though and every phone I’ve ever seen with satellite comms has a gigantic antenna on it. It’s a weird rumour for sure.

Regional sat phones are surprisingly small compared to a global Iridium handset. I had a phone on Thuraya’s network for a while when I was in the ME and it was shocking how much less bulk it had to the Iridium phone I had. Example of one https://thuraya.com/en/products-list/land-voice/thuraya-xt-pro

Sat requires a fair amount of power.

I’ve only ever dealt with the iridium ones, they were huge but I guess they aren’t in LEO? They’re a geosynchronous one, now that I look into it. You can get 2.5 gigs of data for a mere 230$ a month on one network I looked at.

I like lightning, the ports are more durable and easier to clean out. What does USB—C get me that lightning doesn’t do?

Wtf, whenever I check for a software update it tells me I’m up to date. I wanna play with AI dog pics, damnit.

Finally updated to 16, turns out I couldn’t go past 15.7 because I had forgotten to remove the beta profile for iOS 15 last year.
