Yes this.

Also I've only run into issues twice not having the headphone jack.

Once during the first week I tried to plug some headphones I had at work into the jack. The second was last week I wanted to charge and listen to music.

I don't care about the jack as much as I thought.

Nice thing about the apple battery case is you can charge and listen to headphones at the same time.

Step one: stop equating making a consumer choice with joining a cult. It makes you seem goony as gently caress.

I have a home video I would like to easily transfer to another iPhone. What's the best way to do this? iTunes is complete garbage and will erase all videos already on the iPhone and Photos doesn't seem to have the ability to add a video to the iPhone. I must be missing something because putting photos and video on a phone should be loving easy but everything that comes up with google seems to use iTunes and sync.

If you get it to work then it will work. Even in a room full of people with the latest iDevices on the latest IOSes it's pretty hit-and-miss.

The file will be the original file at full quality. So it will take a very long time to transfer despite the iDevices apparently supporting gigabit WiFi.

It's pretty poo poo.

It's been magical for me. I sent like 27 videos like 4 gigs and it took about 30 seconds and was perfect.

I have texts from 2007, including a conversation I had with some chulo, apparently some girl gave him a fake number and it was mine and he signed every text N!gm@m0bs.

Anyone have a suggestion for a iPhone 7 Plus car mount? I'd like something simple and secure that I can preferably mount vertically between my vents. I'd also be open to one of those arm ones I would mount on the dash. I used to use a magnetic vent mount with my old non-Plus, but I want something that has a cradle now for the bigger phone. I trust SA a lot more than the probably fake reviews on Amazon.

I am a shill for Apple so I bought one too.

Have you heard the Amazon Echo? Im an audio snob, and the second version sounds REALLY loving GOOD.

And it was $80 lol

I'll be shocked, SHOCKED if the Apple version sounds better, and really surprised if it sounds 4 times better.

For reference my main system is a Bel Canto DAC with ATC SCM20asl

The echo sounds shockingly good, I do agree with that part. They're also ahead of everyone on the home automation front.

But it doesnt integrate with Apple Music at all and personally, if i'm going to have a smart device listening to me in my home I trust Apple wayyyyyy more then Jeff Bozos and Amazon.

I know this is the phone thread but...

I'm an apple guy. Owned the phones since day one. Apple watch, MacBook, appletvs, iPads, etc etc

The Amazon voice recognition is orders of magnitude better than Siri. I like to play a fun game. I'll ask Alexa a question and have her answer. Then I'll do the same with Siri and watch her fail miserably. Its better with understanding the actual words I say, and WAY better and understanding what I want and giving me an appropriate answer.

If the speaker sounds just as good, even twice as good, I still wouldn't pay 3.2 times as much (4 when they were on sale over the holidays). Plus if you just want to use apple music you ca bluetooth your phone to it. With your voice. Easily.

Also every CD I ever purchased through Amazon is automatically in my library which is handy and cool.

Why is this so hard. If you like the 6s form factor then get a 7 or 8. They are more or less the exact same size. The 7 is better than the 6s and the 8 is better than the 7. The 6s is software supported but no longer sold. The 8 has wireless charging and the 7 doesn’t. Battery life on the 6s blows.

It’s seriously not rocket science man.

7 and above have no headphone jack too.

Yeah but all phones going forward probably won’t have this anymore so it’s not a sticking point.

It might be for someone buying a new phone that just bought a $500 pair of headphones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s certainly a sticking point for some and not bad info to have.
