Just turned on iCloud Photo Library. Is there a way to import older pictures I've taken on previous iPhones? Like I have a gigantic folder in my Dropbox of photos from another iPhone I had and none of these pictures are in my iCloud Photo Library and I'd like them to be.

Yes. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it either.

Yeah, I noticed sometimes it's immediately responsive an lets me swipe back to the home screen as well. Other times it doesn't. It's really odd.

I just noticed the option for wifi calling in my settings. Am I understanding this right: wifi calling routes my calls through my wifi instead of through like LTE for example? Yet those calls will still count against my usage for reasons, including roaming fees if I were roaming, even though it was all done through wifi?

Also, what's the difference between Apple Music, iTunes Cloud(?), and iTunes Match.

Ok so Live Photos are kind of neat actually. But is there a way to choose which "time" I want a still photo from? I thought this would be an obvious thing (oh no the baby blinked, but she's smiling 0.2 seconds earlier) but I don't see a way to do this.

I heard on Gruber's podcast recently that the Facebook app was doing some sketchy stuff like playing inaudible sounds on loop to keep it running in the background even if you mark the option that Facebook should not refresh/update in the background. Dunno how true this is but that's pretty hosed up.

Sadly I need to know exactly when people comment or like my #foodporn #selfies so the mobile website won't work for me :(

What, with the 6S or 6S+? No, the vibration technology is different, it pushes a weight back and forth linearly instead of rotating an unbalanced weight, so the phone doesn't shake around as much. You can set up custom vibrations, maybe using something unique would help you.


With the 6s sorry.

e: no wonder I never notice it when I get text messages. The default vibrate is literally like a 0.1 second pulse.

If I wanted to get a friend an iPhone 5 or 5s to replace their iPhone 4 (Verizon) cause I feel so bad for them does the iPhone I buy just have to be specifically marked as a Verizon phone?

I think they can technically get an AT&T or T-Mobile 5s to work on Verizon if they swap in an activated LTE SIM, but it's probably easier to just find a Verizon one.

It's an iPhone 4 (no s) so I think that would be 3G only so they wouldn't have an LTE SIM card.

Is this the right thread to ask about unlocking? I'm trying to switch networks (from virgin mobile to metropcs) in the US and both carriers have been generally incompetent and unhelpful. I just want to know if I can use my iphone 5s that I purchased from virgin mobile, on the metropcs network. I get a different answer from everyone I talk to and google hasn't yielded any definitive answers either. I guess my question is, how do I tell if my phone's unlocked without a SIM card? If there's a better thread for this I can take my question there.

I think Virgin Mobile is Sprint/non-GSM and MetroPCS is GSM/T-Mobile so I don't think those phones will work on each other's networks.

I set DDG as my default search engine on my phone but I always ended up adding a "!g" to my searches to force a Google search anyway because DDG search is just awful or Google search is just that good, whichever way you want to look at it. I just changed back to defaulting to Google cause it's just better.

e: is there a way to bypass those videos on YouTube that are like "this video has been flagged 18+, please log in to a Google account and confirm your age" messages in YouTube videos without actually signing on to anything? It's YouTube so it's not even porn but like that new Deadpool trailer for example is flagged as 18+.

How much will it cost me to bring my iPhone to an Apple Store and have them replace my screen? I dropped it without the almighty leather case and there's a fracture at the top part, not even over the actual screen but it's annoying to look at. I don't have apple care but it should still be under warranty I think.

Also, have they said anything about adding bicycle time support to the travel time part of calendars at all?

Okay real question time that I've googled but can't really find any information:

How the hell do locations and travel time work in calendar events? I thought travel time would update the travel time needed based on your location at this very moment but I've read conflicting reports that it takes the location that you entered as the starting point. I thought and assumed choosing "current location" as the starting point would mean to constantly update my travel time but it doesn't appear to be the case?

How come sometimes I can choose the travel time by car and hit save and then when I go back to edit the travel time, it's no longer selected the "car" version but has instead selected the literal x minute option? How come for other events it will actually stay on the "car" version when I save it and go back to edit it?

Does this even work it feels really unpolished. The idea sounds awesome but I don't know. There's also the whole calendars location thing being really finicky. I mean I'd love to drop a pin at my office desk and save that exact location as my work so I know how long it'll take me to walk across the street to Taco Bell but it doesn't accept saved pin locations. And I have to wait for the locations list to give me a list of addresses that I've typed or else it just won't work.

I mean the actual message. I can read it on my watch and presumably respond to it? I didn't try. But it's not showing up on my phone (or MacBook) at all. I just disabled iMessage and turned it back on and well it's been stuck at "activating…" for a couple hours now so I guess that's probably what's wrong.

Touch-only controls are fine for little-used or unimportant functions. Like, if you want to put stereo EQ settings there, sure; those are rarely getting adjusted, and not really on the go. Unfortunately, everyone is shoving every control possible in them without any physical redundancy, and that's not good.

Also, Tesla's UI design looks like it should be a WinAmp skin from 1998.

I've rented cars where the next song/previous song buttons were touch screen only and Jesus Christ whoever thought that would be a good idea needs to be fired.

The touch ID sensitivity is so high that Apple didn't care to put the sensor on any of its new iPads or its new iPhone.

Also, the M7 motion coprocessor was dumb for 1 phone generation and only worked when the phone was awake, until they figured out a way to keep it active at all times without tanking the battery.

Hey Siri was dumb for 1 phone generation and only worked while plugged in, until they figured out a way to keep it active at all times without tanking the battery.

Next they'll fix the touch ID sensor to be active at all times without tanking the battery, so something like touching the ring will wake the screen, and pushing the button (or force touching it) with a valid finger will unlock the phone.

See? I fixed the iPhone so you don't have to use it like a silly goose.

Hey Siri still kinda sucks. Half the times it doesn't recognize my voice and the times it does there's s chance she mishears me to the point where the only thing useful I can do with her is "hey sorry set a timer".

How much money do these analysts make and if it's boatloads how do I get a job as one?

The iPhone 8, which will arrive most likely after 2017 but definitely 100% before 2020, will definitely have a faster CPU/GPU unit, a better screen, and at worst the same battery life as we have today. It will be either lighter or heavier than the current iPhone 6s. We think that there's a good chance that it will use the new USB C connector.

Please hire me.

I've been noticing lately that my lock screen will randomly tell me "Touch ID needs your passcode to be enabled" or whatever the actual message is. It's really weird to me because it's never done it before. I'm on 9.3 but I don't know if this is a recent thing that started with 9.3 or not. I know that this happens when I restart my phone, but this happens randomly when I don't restart my phone as well. Like it happened just now and my phone hasn't been restarted in the past hour I've been sitting here.

Does anyone else experience this and how do I fix it?
