Potentially dumb question: Is there a way to use Find My… to find the owner of a pair of AirPods? Found a pair on the ground when I was out today, and want to reunite them with the owner.

No, but if you charge them up they likely will pop up back in the owners find my , so I guess whatever local lost and found ?

I figured, I got them charged and synced them to my iPad. Was hoping they’d have a phone number as the name but no such luck.

Check if your city has a lost items facebook/whatsapp/telegram group and post there about it? You cannot do much otherwise.

I made a couple posts. Apple sent me an email giving me 6 months of Apple Music just for connecting the lost AirPods to my iPad lol. Guess that’s my reward for trying to be nice.

Are the cases Apple tries to sell you when you’re buying a phone through them any good, or should I just get an otterbox?

If I got a used iPhone 11 Pro how many years of iOS/security updates could I get out of that?

Hard to state definitively but you would probably get another three years from now.

Thanks. Now to decide between a new SE or the used pro.

My pro 11 should show up tomorrow. Any utilities to make the switch from android easy-ish?

I’m pretty happy with the battery in my new/used 11 pro max, especially the speed with which it charges.

Can someone tell me how to make my phone open twitter links in twitter and not safari?

It "should" do it by default if you're using the official Twitter app. You could use something like Opener maybe if it doesn't work https://apps.apple.com/us/app/opener-open-links-in-apps/id989565871

Using the official app but no luck. Don’t feel like paying for something that works fine on my iPad.

If you press open in the top right of the web page on the little Twitter app banner, it should use the app going forward

I swear I did this before and it just took me to the app store, but it worked this time. Thanks.

What is the use case for Siri most of the time anyway? I mostly use it to set a timer while I'm walking my dog.

I’ve used it once, to read and answer a text while I was doing dishes.

- Cool new Lock Screen
- Doggos can be cut from photos automatically

Cool, thanks.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but not one of the pictures I’ve taken since the update can be used with the Lock Screen depth effect.
