Is there a reliable supplier for cheap MFI certified lightning cables? My wife has had a bunch of supposedly certified cables from cheap vendors just up and stop working apparently because of this certification not really being there and it's starting to get old.

Why don't we buy screen protectors anyway? I mean I've never used one and I've not scratched a screen in 10 years of using touchscreen devices but I don't see how they can be bad if you really want to use one.

AppleCider posted:This is exactly what I believe happened, which is why the more recent messages (<30 days / last 8, whatever) were restored after re-configuring voicemail on the phone. I just didn't realize swapping a SIM card would render the older messages inaccessible. What I can't figure out is whether they were actually removed. If they were stored by the carrier then why not put the old SIM cards back in, download the messages using the app and then put the new sim back in?

New phone arrived and I forgot I was running the iOS beta on this one, so now it’s been sat there for like half an hour after downloading the relevant beta update thinking about actually installing it. At some point I may just give up on transferring my poo poo and start over I guess!

It’s less likely to be Spotify and more likely to be the phone itself being better at processing audio, or at least processing it in a way that you perceive as sounding better, because arguing audio quality is a huge subjective can of worms that nerds can slapfight over until the end of time.

Toebone posted:I just got an iPhone 13 after a decade of androids. When I'm listening to Spotify on headphones, I get notification sounds over the music, even with silent mode on. On Android, silent mode mutes notification sounds. Is there a way to replicate this behavior on iOS? My phone lives on silent mode and I never get notifications over my other audio, I just went digging through my settings and I can’t find anything at all that would control this behaviour. I haven’t set up anything special to make it like that, it just always has been  The only thing that interrupts playback is an incoming call.

Endless Mike posted:I have never had a widget added without me actively adding it, so idk how it's "constantly" adding widgets. It would be nice if the photo widget would let you point it at a specific album or something instead of the camera roll, though. I have never once ever purposely added a widget to any part of my phone because I don’t use them, and yet I have this whole screen of bullshit (that scrolls down to a couple more random widgets) just one slide away.  I don’t have a phone full of porn so I don’t care enough to delete them, but it’s definitely something some apps can apparently do.

I know phone screens these days are supposedly made out of magic scratch proof super glass but the idea of putting anything that isn’t soft and edgeless in the same pocket as my phone is absolutely horrifying. I’ve never scratched a phone screen and I believe it’s this policy that’s kept me safe in over a decade of smartphone usage.

gently caress it’s awful and I hate it. I have a couple of podcasts that I’m not subscribed to but I check in every now and then to see if there’s an episode I’d want to download and now they’re all hidden behind another button instead of just in one conveniently scrolling list. Unlistened new episodes sectioned off at the top and everything else below in one list was the perfect UI, who asked for this?

It is pretty lovely that it takes a bunch of extra steps or third party software or intermediate cloud services to just get data from A to B when there’s a cable right there. As much as there was an awful lot of old man yells at cloud going on throughout that entire thrilling multi-page saga it could definitely be easier if Apple wanted it to be, but they would understandably rather sell you iCloud.

teagone posted:What would be considered sensitive content. Bank statements? Nudes? It’s whatever you want it to be. Ultimately it’s irrelevant what the content is, the fact remains it would be nice if you had the option to not have some nebulous third party get their sticky fingers all over it just because you want to move it from a to b. I don’t have anything worth hiding but I still don’t want to keep normalising the idea that we should just stick everything in the cloud where we lose all control of whatever that data may be. That’s the slippery slope that’s already leading us to bulk surveillance and the erosion of privacy and civil liberties that comes with it pretty much all around the world. But that’s a bit too heavy a topic for this, the iPhone thread about iPhones.

I got a new job with a huge pay rise so decided to bite the bullet and buy an Apple Watch, despite my reservations over the listed battery life being 18 hours because lol what kind of bullshit Mickey Mouse batteries are they putting in these things? It got to 24% after 36 hours and it charged back to 100% in like 45 minutes. Why are Apple doing the exact opposite of every other company that’s ever sold a battery powered device in history and listing some kind of wacky worst case battery life in all their main marketing materials?

I was working retail when chip and PIN became a thing in the UK and we had to ask people if they knew their number, because a lot of people were still expecting to swipe and sign which we wouldn’t accept anymore. So many people would just go “oh yeah it’s XXXX” and announce it to the entire store in response to being asked if they knew it.

I liked Touch ID better for Apple Pay because I could just wave my phone over the thing with my thumb on the button, and now I have to make sure I’m pointing the front camera at myself and also looking as directly on as possible for it to register with Face ID. I have no strong feelings one way or the other about unlocking the phone.

withak posted:what Instead of paying a lump sum for the phone you just pay for it monthly as part of your plan, that’s a pretty normal thing to do. It’s usually a much shittier deal than you’d get just buying the phone and paying monthly for just the plan, but now that phones cost stupid amounts of money and people always want the fanciest one it works out the ‘only way’ to get the phone you want for a lot of people.

The Dave posted:This isn't true in the slightest. Every carry now is holding customers hostage by offering massive promotions on devices only if you pay monthly and you do not accelerate payments, it's the current industry retention policy. If you buy a phone outright you're missing ~$400-800 dollars off in exchange for having an unlocked phone. Maybe in the US, here in  it’s cheaper any way you slice it to just buy a handset and get a SIM only plan from wherever. The days of phone companies giving you a bunch of bonus poo poo just for signing a contract with them seem to be long gone.I price it out every time I change my handset just in case there’s a better deal to be had and it’s still the case at least as of November last year.

I’ve already had to buy a bunch of new sockets because things including the 13 series all come with USB-C-to-*whatever* cables so I don’t give a gently caress what end they put on the phone as long as the socket end is still C now. Portless can go to hell though. I want to be able to plug things in when I feel the need to plug a thing in, even if it needs a little adapter like lighting to 3.5mm.

I have a couple of laptops with USB-C ports and 13 series iPhones at least (no idea about the 12s or SE) come with a lightning cable that’s USB-C on the socket end.

Oasx posted:I just got a pair of airpods for the first time, and I am just now realizing that USB-C is a thing, and doesn't resemble a normal USB connector much, so it obviously won't fit in the regular USB ports on my computer. Just use the lightning cable you normally use to charge your phone. You won’t need to charge your AirPods anywhere near as often so it can pull double duty.

If you use the sleep tracking function on the Apple Watch it insists that you let your phone go into sleep focus mode, which mutes your alarms even if you go into the focus setting and make an exception for alarms. That’s a loving enormous flaw in the whole thing Apple because I need my alarm to wake me up when I’m done with the sleep that you are tracking, why is this a thing?

Jose Oquendo posted:You sure about that? My alarm on my phone goes off and my watch does the tap thing as well. Yeah, all I get is the silent tapping from my watch which might as well be nothing at all because I’m a heavy sleeper. Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Do you have an alarm set or did you actually set your wake up time? It may treat them differently? I’ve tried it both ways. Alarms just silently do nothing, wake up time does the silent tapping on the watch. If I set an alarm for one minute after my wake up time then that goes off normally because the sleep focus state switches off by then, but that’s a stupid as gently caress workaround for a problem that shouldn’t exist.

I’m on 15.5, no beta at all. I tried an experiment and turned off silent mode on the watch and that resulted in my watch playing a quiet alarm that wasn’t much better than the tapping, but still absolutely nothing from my phone until the backup alarm set for a minute later. Maybe I’ll delete all the settings and start fresh, just for funsies.

I had to go to the Apple store today to get one of my AirPods replaced and holy gently caress do I hate the Apple store experience. Booking an appointment is a neat idea but if I’m going to have to make my way through a gauntlet of employees who all make me repeat myself to actually get to attend it when I get to the store, then 3 different people who all ask me to explain the problem so they can type it into their little iPad and then pass me off to the next person to do that again until one of them actually does something to fix my problem, then just give me a customer service desk and a line to stand in I beg you.
