Chortle posted:You've got 30 days after you receive your 6S+ to buy AppleCare+, I don't think you can get it before you receive the device because you have to get it inspected in-store or run a remote diagnostic for the AppleCare team. It's 60 days now. Just call, run a quick diagnostic, and you're set.

MarcusSA posted:Did they mention anything about improved sound or volume? I assume not. Think of these as the equivalent to an S series phone- same basic function with some new QOL updates. Allegedly these were the Airpods that were supposed to release last year but never quite made it- possibly because Airpower didn't either. My Airpods have hit the "Hi, it's been two years so your batteries suck balls!" line but I still want to hold off for the alleged mark III's with the actual water resistance, health features, and hopefully a different material.

nwin posted:I got a battery replacement on my 6s last December (just over a year) and now the capacity is down to 91%-does that seem like a lot to anyone else? How often are you running the battery down? iPhone batteries are designed to have 80% of their original capacity after 500 full charge cycles- The equivalent of running it from 100-0 even if that takes 2-3 days. Call Apple, they can run a diagnostic and tell you if it's normal or not but you can still get a cheaper battery replacement even if the Free Battery Bonanza is over.

LODGE NORTH posted:I think it’s interesting that only in the world of Apple is complaining about notches seen as a bad thing. Everywhere else you look, everyone has mutually agreed notches are bad and everyone actively works towards getting rid of them. Dear Leader approves of the notch, so it is obviously cool and good: https://www.dailynk.com/english/the-pyongyang-2425s-real-manufacturer-is-in-china/ I think the correct term for the 2019 iPhone collection so far is underwhelming. Unless a third camera and slightly larger battery are compelling reasons for you to upgrade I don’t see a lot of push to replace a working phone. If I was in the market for a phone I’d start with Apple Refurbished and work down from there. https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/iphone The 2020 talk is more than just 5G. The X has been through it’s 3rd generation so it’s likely refresh time, a 5nm processor is rumored, 5G will at least be there for future use and maybe just maybe the notch can go away (let’s be honest here, even Apple marketing goes out of their way to hide it) for those of us that are landscape mode aficionados. If you’re not a yearly upgrader the 2019 lineup so far looks like a recipe for disappointment.

~Coxy posted:Are you sure that's what it's saying? AppleID is nothing to do with iMessage. Umm, that isn't right at all. Signing in with your Apple ID is how you link your phone number with iMessage and how you use iMessage if you don't own an iPhone. tl:dr version- check your messages settings for Send and Receive to see what you're connected to and what you show up as. You also need working sms messaging to connect your phone number to your Apple ID.

Boris Galerkin posted:It didn’t give one to you when you first turned it on? I could be confusing it with the recovery key for macOS encryption but every other 2FA gives you some recovery keys from my experience. You only get the option to use a recovery key if you went directly from Two-Step to Two- Factor, which hardly anybody did. Far more likely you're looking at account recovery if you don't have another trusted phone number already tied to the account (Everyone should have a second trusted phone number, but sadly few do) but you may be able to bypass the waiting period depending on Apple's arcane magics and how much personal info you can give. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204921 tl;dr version- You wanna use the Apple Support app or the Find My app on any other device (can even be store demo units) and try to sign in with the account and with luck it may allow you directly reset the password otherwise you gonna wait.

Question Mark Mound posted:Is it possible to reclassify an app’s folder in the App Drawer? I want to move Awful from “entertainment” to “social” App drawer seems like a really half baked feature looking for a problem to solve. In an update that’s all about giving you options for your layout you’re stuck with it on, you’re stuck with its default grouping, and it’s going to change your home screen layout with space for the scroll dots unless you remove all your app icons beyond a single page. They should have provided an option to choose your layout like dark mode or zoom. Hopefully more apps update soon since the Smart Stack as is is almost as useless as Siri suggestions overall. iOS 14 is pretty meh.

Rumor is a portless iPhone in the very near future, so it’s likely a step in that direction to help offset the 5g and oled screens. Nothing on Earth matters to Apple more than margins. There were hints of an iOS version of macOS internet recovery coming to the phone to take the place restoring up updating. No clue how they’re going to handle syncing and pc data transfer, but it would be a very Apple move to give those the axe in the name of “courage” to embrace the wireless future they’re promoting.

rafikki posted:Just to be clear, from what I understand this is already happening with every major hosting service and has been for years. The only thing changing is the processing is happening on the phone before upload (and only for files being uploaded) instead of in ~the cloud~ It is, but now that scanning is moving on device (If you use iCloud Photos, if you don't your photos are just part of your backup) via a "black box" that scans against known hashes. If you're flagged above X number of times that material goes to Apple for a manual review before they send your name to the FBI. The question is, what's in that black box? Nobody outside of Reddit and Crypto forums supports CSAM, but now that Pandora's box is open what's to keep China from demanding Apple scan for their own "illegal material" that contains hashes for Tiananmen tank guy, or the aforementioned Winnie the Poo memes? Maybe the UAE wants to get serious about that death penalty for homosexuality thing and demands Apple scan for hashes of gay porn? It's not a slippery slope, it's just a matter of aim. Apple says this can't be abused- from the NY Times "Mr. Neuenschwander dismissed those concerns, saying that safeguards are in place to prevent abuse of the system and that Apple would reject any such demands from a government." So, in order to feel safe about this all you have to do is believe is that Apple would be willing to potentially give up their Dubai or (lol) China revenue by openly defying their governments.

Boris Galerkin posted:It's not like this US federal government has ever abused a secret list to prevent people from flying without ever informing them that they're on said list or why they're on said list or even giving them an option to appeal to be removed from said list. And notably, this image scanning thing will only be for US based users. Imagine if China or Saudi Arabia told Apple "hey, if you want to do business in our country then you need to scan uploaded pictures for these hashes too, I promise you it's only child porn nothing nefarious." The real slippery slope is when, knowing the code is right there on millions of devices, you remove the iCloud requirement with a law mandating scans and any of those nasty harmful illegal material hash matches have to be included anytime the device phones home- software updates, backup restores, analytics, etc or just for the hell of it. Apple could fight that in some courts, but could they walk away from India or China even they wanted to at this point?

Slight hyperbole, but even 10% of teens moving to other nanny free messaging apps or worse, Android would be an embarrassing hit to Apple, not to mention the lack of iMessage lock in going forward. I think kids will care - even if they’re not the ones getting popped for nudes, they’ll still follow the crowd that might (or wish they might) and Apple does care about that market, a lot. Apple hasn’t made it a priority to put their products in kids’ hands for 40 years, from Apple II’s in the 80’a to iPads today out of altruism.

If you’re like me and go with a naked phone it can be a good idea, and you can always go month to month now if you want to avoid the full 2 year commitment. As was said, the 12 mini has a smaller battery, which means more charge cycles used, which means shorter lifespan. I also get it, and have used it on my iPad Pros- 49 bucks to replace vs iPad repair prices is solid investment even if iPads don’t typically travel as much as phones. Its also the only way to do an iPad express replacement if you want to go that route. It’s not a great deal for Watches unless you often run the risk of banging into things during an average day and I’d put it in the rip off category for AirPods, Apple TV and the like.

jabro posted:My advice would be to expect it for the dates given and if it does happen to show up early then be pleasantly surprised instead of expecting it to show up early and be disappointed when it doesn’t. Apple generally works on a worst case scenario basis when it comes to shipping- An express replacement may quote 3-5 days but you generally get it overnight. My OG Airpods came like 2 weeks before the date, but my M1 12.9 only beat it by 2 days. I don't think anyone knows what supplies are actually gonna be like until non-launch day orders start showing up.

Cartoon Man posted:AR glasses will come close to replacing a phone but I can’t imagine it ever completely replacing the need. Not without quantum leaps from Siri. Until using voice command is just as precise as tapping for commands/settings/dictation it's just going to be a different screen to see your content on. It doesn't need to be Jarvis or anything, just to the point that an average user could get through the day without needing to grab their phone if they didn't want to. Wheeee posted:Nah, Apple won’t touch that until/unless they can do it seamlessly. Seamlessly would be good, but I think the real roadblock is component pricing- what would you need to charge to keep Apple level margins swhile adding apple level polish to foldables? The Jobs era dictum of keeping the product lines simple are long gone, but a 3rd tier foldable hanging out in Macbook Pro pricing land sounds a little much.

Your iCloud storage is separate from device- so a phone to phone will move everything over as long as you have the physical storage for it. Honestly is the best transfer option since it can move synced content and save you from having to re-sign into everything. That said, back your poo poo up! If you don't wanna spend the 99 cents for iCloud+ (Which has more than storage benefits now) you can do it to your PC but eventually a phone is going to poo poo itself or get swiped.
