For those that care MKBHD's 12 review is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1b3C2081-Q My boy getting 1 million views in a few hours, I've been with him since the beginning. Crisp as ever. I wish the Pro and Regular reviews were one and the same but whatever, waiting to see the Pro one.

He is the epitome of city dweller that loves minimalism and "tech reviews" which amount to "does what the press release says no further analysis required"  What the hell are you on about?  MKBHD is great, just because he doesn't have a PhD he is still a kickass reviewer and deserves his success IMHO. I tried to figure out a way to insult you for being a rural dweller but I'm tired.

Zero One posted:I got an apple leather case for my 12 Pro. Unlike the leather cases for the 11s this one has a lip all the way around including at the bottom. Which makes it awkward to swipe up for the Home bar because you are always hitting the lip with your finger when trying to swipe. That is disappointing, I always liked that they lacked that bottom piece on the leather case for the 11s. You're going to hit that little stupid lip with your finger 1000 times per day.

The Science Goy posted:I had a spike in junk calls starting about a week ago, no apparent reason. Someone probably sold a list containing your number to a bunch of spammers and they all are hitting at once, or something. That's a stupid high number of calls for one day... Yarp. Spam calls are constant every single day for me. Every few months I call 611 for ATT, explain to the rep, and ask if ATT has any other solution instead of their Hiya Call Protect app. The answer is always "no, gently caress you" and it's been that way for years. Except changing my number, and who knows if the new number will have the same problem. The FCC also has seemingly done virtually nothing to address this too. Think about how many American hours are wasted every day by idiots picking up these calls, or even just being distracted by the ringer.

Not sure if there's a better thread for this but I just saw the news about Google Photos no longer being free unlimited storage after some date in 2021 :-( Looks like the next best Cheap Good Photo Storage is gonna be Flickr Pro, so I'll pull the trigger once that date hits.

drat, 549 is way too expensive. It's so expensive I'm having trouble even figuring out the business play here. I wonder if adoption will pan out as much as they're hoping, or maybe at 549 the expected unit number doesn't have to be so much for R&D to get covered. Their per-unit profit margins are definitely continuing to be some of the highest of any major company in history right? I imagine we'll see a price drop within 1 year to $449, but still...

smackfu posted:I would also be surprised if Best Buy’s house brand was cheaper than Anker etc. I'd also add that when someone talks about dangerously bad quality for chargers, cables, etc. they're usually not referring to a house brand like Best Buy's. BB is large enough where they will have a direct contract with Chinese factories or a distributor and they can dictate the actual specs inside so it's likely not fire-tastic. The terrible ones come from like gas stations or Amazon third party sellers. BB's house brands for pretty much everything will be a terrible value, however. AmazonBasics and Anker have both been excellent for me.

For the 12 though when I upgrade, I don't want a MagSafe case since I don't use it, but the leather case is $10 more because of it.

Shrug, I have an iPhone 11 Pro which is OLED and I like True Tone, seems to make things less harsh. Sure it yellows the color temperature but that's just.... how it works.

When I have a couple hours on the weekend I might do that on my current 11 Pro. Reinstalling everything is gonna suck but I have a feeling it will be a lot smoother and with better battery life. Kinda how I used to format my big desktop PCs that were slowing down with age in the Pentium/1GB RAM era

Am I missing something with spatial audio? I'm on the latest iOS and have it on my iPhone and listening with AirPods Pros. Isn't there supposed to be something to do with moving my head or moving the phone while playing audio? I mean yeah I hear it's a little different if I switch spatial on and off, but moving my phone or whatever doesn't do anything. I can barely notice if it's on or off. Everything is set properly, like the settings in Music and the BT settings for the AirPods. And I'm testing with music from the 'made for spatial audio' AM playlist. e: wait... I think I am confusing spatial audio and Atmos. Spatial audio is not a thing for music, I guess...? But it's happening later this year? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212182 very confusing and I still don't get it Inner Light fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Jun 9, 2021 |

xzzy posted:$0, but there's some magic keyword you have to use to trigger it. Like "performance sucks" or something like that. Basically you can't just walk in and demand a new battery, you need to have a plausible complaint that is actually attributable to a hardware problem. I don't believe this is the case, I think they will flat out refuse to do a $0 battery replacement until capacity is 80% or lower. Even if you complain about performance issues. I could be wrong. If that's true, I'm definitely going to go into the Apple Store to get my 86% capacity 11 Pro battery changed out. Currently not worth $60 to me.

Trip report, iPhone 11 Pro ~18 months post purchase. ~85% battery capacity, but noticeable poor life, would barely last a day of light use. Went into the store, was saccharine and polite with the genius, gave a matter of fact plea explaining I knew their 80% cutoff, slight embellishment of unexpected shutdowns. After she chatted with the LEAD genius I got a warranty battery replacement  Runs like a top now. Ain’t nothing like a genuine Apple repair vs. some bullshit from the internet. Also the logistics are pretty awesome, in and out in 1 hour. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Jun 23, 2021 |

Ah rats, I bought a vent clip mount in April and it is really good / was very cheap. The product listing gives a 404 now. It's always suspect when something has 10k or 20k reviews, and those cards were infuriating. Idiots. I bet they got pretty rich for a while until this happened, so maybe they made enough money to retire and don't give a gently caress anymore. Fulfilled by Amazon is a Big Deal for the right players.

My friend (whose life is not otherwise the most stable) was on vacation in Dallas a few days ago, and unfortunately had her relatively new iPhone 12 Pro stolen from her hands while walking on the sidewalk at night. Police report was filed etc., she will never see the phone again. She had Theft and Loss AppleCare+, so she thought. She does have coverage, however the coverage requires that Find My iPhone was turned on at the time of the theft, and it seems it was not. Looks like she is totally SOL here in this situation, which really sucks. Make sure you have Find My iPhone turned on. I'm not sure if iPhone prompts you if you have it left off, but if not it seems it should. Unrelated but I don't understand why these jerks still steal smartphones in 2021. I don't think they can be used, right....? I thought it's been that way for several years. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Aug 13, 2021 |

I know she's fully screwed i'm more asking out of curiosity so I understand how it works.

Wheeee posted:”Apple has confirmed to me that it already scans iCloud Mail for CSAM, and has been doing so since 2019. It has not, however, been scanning iCloud Photos or iCloud backups.” Well, if you can decrypt an iPhone backup, I would think that makes you one of the Es in E2EE, so I suppose that still makes sense to me. But I dunno, I'd be curious what security experts think. Encrypted iCloud phone backups can be.... decrypted by Apple?

Part of why I'm doing the Upgrade Program is so I can just whip it back at Apple at the end of 12 months for the next iPhone. No worrying about condition (beyond turning on and no shattered screen), valuation, anything. Could I get some more selling 3rd party? Yep but I feel the convenience is worth it, I guess.
