I know it's personal preference, but I couldn't imagine trying to use a 6+ with one hand. The regular 6 is already bordering on being too big for one handed use.

I wonder what is selling more, iPhone 6 or 6+. The Apple Store was completely out of 6 cases, but they had a full wall of 6+ cases. Best Buy had a 10-15 different iPhone 6 cases, but no 6+ cases.

Bugs wise, I've noticed the following issues: -3rd Party Keyboards sometimes come up, other times the default one will pop up -Some notifications will "stick" at the top of the screen until I act on them

Has anybody online done battery tests based on screen brightness? I've always been curious how much longer the battery life would last at 25%, 50%, and 100%.

Have we heard anything regarding whether or not the Apple Watch is waterproof? Seems like a must for any wallet, but I imagine it would be tough to do with something like the Apple Watch.

Apparently you can trick an iPhone into displaying CarPlay on Android tablet using this $50 USB dongle: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32826755246.html There's even a wireless version for $100: https://avinusa.com/wireless-apple-carplay-android-auto-usb-adapter.html I'm tempted to grab a refurbished Fire HD 8 and a CD slot mount so the car I'm leasing has carplay.

Magic Underwear posted:This has got to be the ultimate style over substance product ever. It's a really mediocre rewards card from a group of sociopaths who blew up the economy a decade ago and ought to hang. It geo-tags all of your purchases and conveniently displays them on a map. It doesn't have a card number so nobody can steal the number and use it. It doesn't sell any of your spending habits to advertisers or third parties. Sure, many of these features could come standard with certain credit cards, but they don't. This is one of the few cases where tech journalists seem pleasantly surprised with an Apple product. They probably should get around to a billing website for it, though. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Now that iOS 13.1 has full Shortcut Automation support, I'm grabbing some cheap NFC stickers to mess around with. Besides the obvious ideas (automatically playing a podcast when putting your phone down in your car, turning on a room's lights), has anybody thought of any other cool ways to use NFC tags?

AT&T annoys me because we only have two options as a two-person plan - 10GB with a 24% employer discount, or unlimited with no employer discount. We need 15GB a month and the last week of our billing cycle is always horribly throttled to less than 3G speeds whenver we go over. We're going to switch to T-Mobile next year and get a good deal on 5G iPhones, but there's no doubt pricing will be more expensive once T-Mobile and Sprint merge and 5G plans become more prevalent.

My XS Max was dropped 4 feet on pavement from my bicycle's handlebars a few weeks ago with just an Apple leather case and a glass screen protector. The corner of the case is all torn up and the screen protector is cracked but it's still in perfect condition. I was sure the screen had shattered. I bought a better bicycle mount later that day.

I paid $20 for 2Do for Mac + iPhone, but honestly, Reminders on Catalina and iOS 13 is "good enough" for me. Admittedly, 2Do has some more advanced way to organize things, but Reminders has been just as good. Notes has also been pretty great in Catalina and iOS 13 now that the semester has started - I organize my classes by sub-folder, and copy and paste in lecture pdfs and powerpoint slides directly into each day's lecture notes and can access them from any of my devices.

I think it's obvious the notch will be diminished in some way, but it will be interesting to see if they can make it disappear altogether, or maybe just a cutout for the front facing camera? Some Android phones go that route.

Upgrading from an iPhone 6 or older is worth it just for the high-speed cellular bands that every US cellular company supports now. I guess you could wait for 5G at this point?

Cough Drop The Beat posted:I don't know why anyone cares about 5G at this point and time unless you're a telco employee in it for the hype and revenue. Sure, there's a 5G spec, but no one actually knows what 5G will look like in the US beyond the basic concepts and planning stages. There's no way there will be anything except maybe rudimentary 5G trials in select major markets NY/LA/Chicago when the 5G 2020 iPhone releases. It's such a non-issue to consider when purchasing your new phone today. If I had an iPhone with 5G support today, I could get 5G in my area through AT&T and Verizon. I’ll certainly concede that for most people, their experience won’t make much of a difference, but we’re a year away from millions of 5G iPhones coming alive, networks be damned.
