So I downloaded Swiftkey and it's basically just a note taking app? Anyone know when a swype keyboard should be available?

That's not the app. The actual keyboard isn't out yet.

The new keyboards are extensions, aren't they? So is the swiftkey app a text editor with the extension bundled in?

It's a full on keyboard. Swiftkey Note is something they made before Apple allowed third party keyboards.

I realise it's a full keyboard, but it utilises the new extension framework which I believe Apple will only distribute on AppStore as part of a bundle with a functioning app. I was wondering what the app they were using in the bundle was.

Oh haha, it's a settings thing. That's what the app is.

efb Yeah it's that.

So I moved over from the S6 to the 6S (lmao) Plus, and I'm already having a minor issue. The badge notification is stuck on the App Store. It's telling me there's four updates but there's nothing in there.

In the meantime I've just disabled the badge.

Thinking of getting the Apple silicon case but I'm stuck between the orange and midnight blue one.

They both look pretty, but I don't want to buy two cases rn.

Actually I also like the leather case so I don't even know. Whatever.

Just got a 6s (not Plus) this weekend and switched to Sprint. The battery in seems way worse than my 5s. It's only noon and I'm down to 70% and I've barely used it. My 5s would still be in the 90s at this time.
Could it be that I have a cruddy Sprint connection now instead of Verizon, so it has to crank up the power on the antenna? Or is the 6s battery that bad?

I'm going to say that the issue is Sprint.

So I'm curious about something here. When I was over with Android I could click a YouTube link or something and have the phone be smart enough to open the YT app if I had it installed. On iOS it seems like if I click a YT link it'll take me to Safari instead and then there I can hit a button to take me to the YT app instead.

Is there any way to make fix this so I can just click all the YT links I want and open the app properly as it should or is this just an Apple thing and I'll have to deal?

When I connect my iPhone 6s to my PC, iTunes says it needs to be updated to the latest version of iOS, but in the software update part of the iPhone's settings, it says it's already got the latest (9.2.1). What could be causing this? Anything to worry about?

A newer version of 9.2.1 was released. It's exactly the same version it just fixes the error 53 bricking issue. Here's an article on the update: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2016/02/18/ios-9-2-1-build-13d20-ipad/

While this looks awesome it's backordered until the end of November, will definitely look at picking one up early next year though. I'll probably get an apple leather one in the meantime to hold me over.

Best Buy actually sells the case, it's not backordered there. Also they sell other colors.

So I've got auto lock already set to 30 sec but I've noticed sometimes that at night while the phone is charging I'll get a notification and the screen won't switch off. It'll just stay bright and on until I actually go and shut it off myself.

What's the deal?

Edit: Actually I've noticed sometimes that the phone just won't go to sleep completely. The screen will dim but you can still futz with the phone. It's weird and tbh really annoying.

Swipe up the Now Playing screen to more easily access Shuffle, Repeat, and Up Next

Did this actually change, or is the change just that they are now telling you this is where shuffle and repeat are?

They give you a notice now in the music app to tell you where the buttons are.

Just to be sure there is no way in the Apple Music app to change the "recently added" section to be "recently played" right?

I know there's a recently played section but I just feel like it makes more sense for that to be shown in the library and just be easier to access. Spotify does it that way.

Apple Music and Spotify are both really good. The one thing I'd love AM to get is better discovery options. Also I don't like how the main screen in AM shows recently added and not recently played. I know there is a recently played list in the app but I really prefer how Spotify does it. I rather have that list front and center and easier to use.

One day Apple will allow folks to change the Recently Added in Apple Music to be a Recently Played list instead. I hate that they kinda buried that in a separate tab.

I’m still baffled by the lockscreen/notification shade being merged.

It’s kind of annoying that you can’t swipe notifications away like the old style. There’s still room for it to change by release I suppose.

This is not a good thing. The Music app is awful and I switched back to Spotify because I just couldn't get used to the Apple Music UI.

Just look at the library and playlists screen of Spotify and then compare them to this Duplo block looking motherfucker fitting a whole four things at a time on the screen and hiding the rest behind a goddamn horizontal scroll on a screen that's always oriented vertically:



Because everything is so big it's really hard to find what you're looking, I think maybe because instead of building up a memory of a list of things that follow each other it's just one bigass icon after the next. The horizontal scrolling is just madness on tall device where vertical scrolling is like twice as fast. Now I would've suffered the UI if I could actually find any music I liked. After like half a year of using it, it still thought I'd like to know about Imagine Dragons.

Also gently caress the emoji playlist icons on the discover tab.

The worst is recently played being buried under the browse tab or whatever. It's the dumbest design decision ever.

I'm bored of waiting for Spotify's Apple Watch app and may just swap to Apple Music. Smart Playlists look useful but how do they update in terms of mobile data? I want to use one that removes loved songs that are skipped multiple times but adds them again after a specified time. Is this all done locally or am I chew up all my data setting this up?

If it matters AW OS4 includes a Now Playing complication which is something at least.

How long does it usually take for phones to be readily available after launch if I don't preorder? Like when will I be able to just walk into an Apple Store and walk out with an 8/8+?

I have a feeling it shouldn’t be as long as the 7/7+ was because of the X being the unicorn this time.

Skeezy

The 8 and X seem super cool but I’m not on any JOD plan or anything through T-Mo. So paying almost $900 just for the 8+ seemed excessive. Figured the best thing to do is pay off the 7+ and stick with that for another year or two.

The 7+ still rules anyways, super solid device.
