I've been thinking about Rhinoshield's Mod NX cause I can have a red band around the white iPhone and a clear back. Not sure though. Also looking into dBrand's Grip case. Saw it in a video today and the Solstice looks really rad. https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/iphone-14-pro-max-cases I usually go with the standard Apple silicone but if they had a Product RED leather one, I'd 100% switch to that. EDIT: Speaking of that, the case came in just now. It's a bit of a lighter red than the 13 Pro Max silicone case. ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Sep 14, 2022 |

As someone who has bought far too many, here like the top 5 I'd recommend that other people also seem to like a lot: I had the Caudabe Sheath for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and I always worried it'd break the phone somehow trying to get it out. It seems to be a very hard plastic.

Very low profile and they keep your phones MINT. Comes in tons of colours too. The official Apple silicone cases have microfabric inside as well. My iPhone 12 Pro Max looks like I never touched it inside. That's another thing no SIM card tray will do...you can go straight from the phone box to the case without having to get fingerprints on it just to take the tray out.

85% is really low considering the phone starts at 100%... How long does it take to get to that number? I think my iPhone was 90-something before I reset it.

So people on Reddit are indecisive (shocker...) about the camera on the 14 Pros. They keep going on and on about an oil painting effect on iPhone photos. I checked some of my 13PM photos and yeah, they do have it...if you zoom in really, REALLY close. But so does the Pixel 6 Pro's photos if you zoom in super close. Has anyone else experienced it as bad as others say or are my eyes just being stupid again and can't tell? I wouldn't be surprised if it was me, my eyes are a tad awful.

There’s a comparison between a pixel 6 and and a 14 something, and people are falling head over heels for the oversaturated colours on the pixel shot. Yeah that's the thread I saw.

https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/18/iphone-14-pro-camera-module-shaking-and-rattling/ iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max has a major camera bug in 3rd party applications like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. Apparently the OIS freaks the gently caress out and goes into overdrive with physical shaking and loud buzzing noises because the apps aren't optimized to work with the new OIS in the 14 Pros. However some claim it should've been fixed at the OS level and Apple is to blame. Whatever the cause, Apple is apparently giving out free new devices because while it may or may not be a hardware issue, it can cause permanent hardware damage to the camera. Some on Reddit say they didn't notice the problem until opening a 3rd party app, some say it happens in the default Camera app as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wku5Eff4XU https://twitter.com/LukeMiani/status/1570913076320567299 I didn't have the issue using the default camera app or on Telegram using my 14 Pro Max. I don't have TikTok or Snapchat and I don't post on Instagram.

Some on Reddit are saying that 16.0.2 didn't fix the camera shaking issue in 3rd party apps on the 14 Pro/Pro Max. The loud clicking of the OIS in Instagram is still there too, this one I can personally confirm. I blocked Instagram's camera access until this is fixed.BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:Occasionally I start typing and the keyboard is super loud so the speaker cracks. Happened at least twice today and resolves as I’m typing. I've had this happen too when system sounds just go bonkers loud for no reason. It's not great since some system sounds go through earbuds...

Speaking of the camera on the 14 Pro / Pro Max, is the camera supposed to go blurry if you turn macro mode off? Also I find it sometimes has focusing issues on things like QR codes. Wondering if I could get AppleCare+ and use it. I did have the camera make a loud click noise on Instagram.

Just noticed today that there’s a decent sized chunk in my official silicone case for my phone. Should I be looking into new cases as it won’t protect my phone well or am I still good? Alternatively, does Apple have warranty for their cases as I got it with the phone when it released (14 Pro Max).

Their text customer service is actually very responsive overall and usually resolves any concerns I have. Quick way to find out if they would swap it or not. Oh hey! I remember you from the Sprint thread when I had them. Thanks for the recommendation. I texted them, they scheduled a Genius Bar appointment at the local store and I’ve got a free replacement coming in a few days. Thanks again!

Resdfru posted:How do the Google apps work with ios, from what I can tell on my iPad, Google photos won't upload pics unless I have the app open which is kind of annoying. Any other weird quirks with Gmail, maps, Google home, other apps? Does the Google opinion reward app on ios give as many surveys as Android? Google Opinion Rewards on iOS actually gives you real money you can cash out at $2 each time for money to your credit card or whatever your payment thing is. However, I haven't gotten many surveys from them in a long time. Like others have said, Google Photos will sync from the iPhone easily while on wifi and I don't have to do anything but make sure it's sending them uncompressed as I pay for Google One storage. In fact, if I delete the images from the Google Photos app, it will also delete from the phone AND iCloud. Honestly. I've not had a dedicated back button for years since I came from a Pixel. Fingerprints on the Pixel 6 Pro are kind of slow and a bit awful while Face ID is muuuuch faster. In fact it's usable on just about every single app where as not all apps supported fingerprinting on Android.

Search something on Amazon, select a top level department that applies in the results on left nav. Now you'll have checkboxes for "Seller" on left nav, you can select Amazon.com and it will filter out so much third party seller garbage. Someone on Reddit made this which ONLY searches stuff shipped and sold by Amazon. https://timothy.fries.dev/projects/2020/amazon-search/ I ended up bookmarking it and use it constantly.

MrBond posted:If it’s a major retailer they’re probably in some kind of grudge match with credit cards over fees, and might be trying to get people to use some other kind of system instead that has less fees/is better for the store. Anything that makes credit cards easier to use makes it harder to push the other thing. Walmart is I think the most famous example of this. Kroger used to bitch about this but are starting to relent and allow Apple Pay in their stores finally. I think Walmart is the only holdout and would rather everyone use Walmart Pay. Kroger still has their own pay thing too but will also accept Apple Pay now.

Tiny Timbs posted:Christ, I thought we were past stores partnering with fly by night companies to roll out some horseshit custom payment service. Walmart has been trying to get people to use their pay service over actually paying in the store for years now. They don't like that the credit card companies take "so much" from them and would rather just cut them out so they pushed their completely unsecure pay thing. IIRC they revamped it, it's still not secure, it still sucks, but they keep pushing it just to cut out credit card companies. Store conglomerates REALLY hate MasterCard and Visa fees apparently.

It will still work fine but the colors of the screen will slowly start to degrade due to the chemicals in the fluid. You won’t have any issues using it besides that though. Awesome I guess. It'll probably affect the trade value of it as well if that happens. He seems to think it's fine because he has a Pixel 6 Pro and uses glass cleaner wipes (not rated for electronics of any kind, I checked) on his screen all the time. He also gets mad when it doesn't respond to his touch half the time and likes to pretend he knows chemistry. Anyway, thanks for the responses.
