Which colours of leather case supposedly age badly? I have the black one and I love it but I was thinking of grabbing another colour to have some variation.

I quite like the look of the red or white ones.

The brown does look rather nice. Anyone have any pictures after some use?

I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it doesn't even ask for the permission to show notifications so I know something is up.

If I'm not mistaken I think an apps notification settings can persist through a reinstall. At least I remember that being the case.

My iPhone 6 seems to be stuck in headphone mode. Any tips on fixing this? I've tried pulling the headphone jack in and out several times to no avail.

Had this happen to me. Compressed air or a cotton swab in there should get whatever is causing it out.

If not... it's possible for water damage to do that apparently.

So I installed the beta last night and everything seemed to work fine for a while. Just a little bit ago I found my phone off and I couldn't turn it back on. Did the whole hold home button and power at same time to boot it back up. This never happened to my phone before, so you might run into this issue, and I hope it's not recurring.

Here's a weird iOS9 bug that I can reproduce:

If I have notifications on the lockscreen, and I swipe down to view my notification center, when I swipe notification center back up, all the notifications on the lockscreen are gone.

Is there any place to report this kind of thing to Apple if you're not a developer or whatever? I want to help fix bugs :(

That's not a bug, that's how it's always been if I recall correctly

If Siri knows my voice from other people, then shouldn't it not ask me for my unlock password if I ask it to open an app or do something other than answer a basic question? Trying to use my phone hands free while cooking is a pain. I wonder how much of a pain in the rear end it is for people with disabilities to use their phone.

It's putting security above slight convenience which I'm all for

A voice isn't all that secure and from the times other people have 'Hey Siri''d my phone I'm glad that's not a thing

So uh should I enable or disable dictation

Also when I used to highlight words I had the "define" option but now it only gives me the "look up" option which is a lot less sleek. Is that the replacement?

I usually have it disabled as I never use it and it takes up keyboard space

Pretty sure that's the replacement. Uses web searches and Wikipedia though so it can give context to words that aren't in the dictionary. I find it quite a bit more useful myself since it still shows the dictionary definition when it's available

I tried it out using my MacBook Pro and it popped it up quick in the bluetooth. I had an issue having it switch back to my iPhone though. I switched using bluetooth settings and it said it was connected but would never play any audio when I tried.

Little tip if you're gonna be switching between Mac and iPhone a lot. There's a utility called ToothFairy in the Mac App Store that lets you connect to specific Bluetooth headphones with a single click

Yeah that's what I was kinda expecting from the product and Apple for pushing wireless. A quick toggle between my phone and Mac. I thought that was the point of the special chip.

Thanks. I'll check out the app.

I believe originally when Apple sent out review units it had more seamless switching between Apple devices but they took it out before launch. Maybe something that'll get introduced with a revised model in September.

Is the iPad in range? I often use my AirPods with my Mac at home, but if I leave home (with just my phone) and take them out of the case and put them in, they will automatically connect to the phone.

Generally, yeah. Although locked. It's not like any of these factors are dealbreakers. I still love the things. I'm just saying there is some room for improvement down the line.

How is this different from showing the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar and clicking on it and clicking on the headphones you want to connect to?

I just like the ease of use of a one click item that fills up once I'm paired and ready. You can also set up multiple BT devices separately so one click quickly switches to my BT speakers. The devices don't have to be ready for pairing yet like they would to show up in that menu. I can click that then take the AirPods out or turn the speaker on and it'll keep trying to aggressively pair to them for a little while

My biggest complaint is sometimes apps that open webpages internally don't appear to be using ad blocking because uh I get ads but that might be the app not allowing it instead of iOS not allowing it.

Yeah if an app doesn't use in-app Safari (I believe they don't because they can get more analytics and stuff using their own browser) then no iOS ad-blocker is going to work.

I believe you can block ads at router level but that's a whole other thing.
