The best power bank I ever found was a Target-branded 12000 mAh model only available in soft-touch pink. Not kidding.

Target’s house brands are sometimes serious wins for value and quality.

I have iPhone 13 Pro - what should I be looking for in a wireless charger to get the best experience? I haven't really paid attention to wireless charging standards but I know there's big differences out there.

I was hoping to get one of those 3-in-1 stands for my phone, watch, and AirPods, but it's really hard on Amazon to differentiate the cheap crap from the actual good stands. Was hoping there'd be something good on sale for Prime Day - any recommendations?

The official Apple MagSafe charger is great, and I pair it with the official 20W? charger. However it is not a tilt stand, it's flat on the table.

No I have like 2 friends and have not been involved in any group chat where folks are using stickers regularly, let alone multiple. I don’t even know how to fully use stickers yet. I’m trying to make more friends though :-/

Gphotos is a better all in one service than iCloud IMO. My favorite aspect is that it’s entirely cross platform. I am not sure how pricing compares tbh. Though you will certainly find goons that are all-in on iCloud too.

iCloud.com isn't that bad and works on Chrome/Firefox/Safari, and the fact that so many people are comfortable with an advertising company holding onto personal photos because they're the status quo for web services is odd to me.

Ugh please don't start with this, it can go nowhere useful

Not only do I get 5G on AT&T, but I also get something now called 5G+

Which is probably the C-Band version because I don’t live near “Orlando - Orlando’s professional basketball arena”. (LOL that they refuse to say Amway on their website)

5G on ATT is marketing speak for LTE. 5G+ is real 5G. That’s it.

Ok thread, it's officially time for this year's conversations about why or why we did not upgrade. This is the phase before conversations around our delivery dates.

Can I ask earnestly, any 13 Pro users here putting in for a 14 Pro ?

Need the rationalization before I proceed plz

Nah there needs to be one fun/silly option. I know Apple wouldn't go for an iMac-color-like electric purple but was really hoping for at least something coming from the white side like lavender or lilac instead of black adjacent "deep purple".

Oh well, at least there's always cases like this:


This is sick and I would definitely like to see what Apple could do with its supply chain capability and being a market leader in cool materials manufacturing they can do with their cases. They don't really do that. They are already very solidly engineered but they don't seem to push the limits that much. Apple have 25 different iPhone models being sold but none that really stand out. I want an iPhone Ultra Max is what I'm trying to say.

You can't paste into photos, just out of photos. I tried it and it's wild! Works very well. Edge detection isn't gonna be perfect but it's a LOT faster than any other software right now.

I’ve always thought it was ridiculous that you couldn’t get your battery % displayed instead of the corner icon. But now that the square-sized lock screen widget doesn’t even have it, when there’s plenty of room, I’ve crossed over to thinking Apple is being malicious.

Ya but it becomes visible when you swipe down into control center

If I open the lock screen with multiple notifications waiting, it only shows one notification at the bottom of the screen with a blank space in the middle. I need to swipe up to see more. Is this intended behavior?

So on iOS 16 you can only view one notification on your lock screen without swiping?

It may be impossible to say given that proper changelogs went the way of the dodo several years ago("bugfixes and improvements"), but I think it's new to iOS 16.

I have to admit I actually don’t care for having the battery number in the top right. Maybe I’m just not used to it but it screams for attention. I much preferred seeing a symbol.

And it seems like there’s no way to turn it off. The number remains even after I turn off Battery Percentage in Settings. Bug?

Yes report it!!! But reboot your phone and it will probably be fixed

The only thing I ever use Dark Sky for is to look at the map window with the arrows indicating storm direction. It’s perfect and the Apple Weather implementation of the idea is abysmal by comparison.

It sucks that they’re killing it without reaching feature parity.

What I do is use Weather Channel app’s radar function (my fav weather radar app), play the last few hours and predict the storm direction based on that. It’s a dumb workaround but it’s there in case you need it. It also has future cast radar models.

It's the change in dismissal behavior that's super annoying. Before you could swipe up anywhere to get rid of the search view. Now you've got to swipe up from home bar.

You can still tap in the limbo space instead of swipe up to dismiss. But yes, it is inconsistent.

I ran across this one trying to find the Lock Screen setup yesterday, it’s one of those little change for change-sale things Apple passes off as innovation, because I did use the screen changer there. How many users know you can change that back, or how to?

Another tip if you use dictation a lot- the keyboard changes are nice, but you can turn off the auto-punctuation feature in your keyboard settings. The code is seemingly (Hear a pause? Flip and a coin and add a period or comma) and it was bad enough in the beta I finally got feedback from my feedback to test it out more. Once that was done I tried it for 5 more minutes in the latest beta before turning it off again.

Yep when using dictation with Siri I always said “period” “comma” etc. instead of letting AI figure out what I mean. AI has its place, for example with spelling corrections it works well, but I like to say where I want my commas and what gear I want my PRNDL car in :-)
