Very nice. They patina quick so if you like a pristine spotless look they might not be for you, but the material quality is superb and they feel super nice to hold.

Well you're in luck, the Apple leather case barely qualifies as leather.

My main use case for the cutout tool is Discord, which was initially showing the white background and I assumed it was just an automatic jpeg compression inherent with the way the app handled images, but someone suggested deleting and reinstalling Discord which worked perfectly. Now all my cat pics are transparent no matter where I post them.

It's definitely doing some AI object scanning and not just basic edge detection. If you've got a pic with multiple people it will grab them both even though they're not near each other.

maybe they stopped making the mini because the camera bump would have looked loving stupid

lmao I still remember when people were throwing an absolute poo poo fit over the tiny 1mm ring around the 6 camera and how it ruined the phone because it could no longer sit flat on a table.

Dynamic island is definitely a stopgap, but it's also a pretty nice one. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Probably some sort of visual flourish to alert you that your timer is halfway done. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

How do I make the notifications go up to where they were on iOS 16 on the lockstren? Being at the bottom really messes with me..
Hmm I dunno that’s a real head scratcher. Maybe if there were some sort of notifications settings menu somewhere.

Conversely, coming from an XR I'm not sure you'd actually be able to tell the difference between a 13 or a 14. Guess it all depends on if $100 matters much to you.

I wonder how many iPhones they’ve had to replace in the meantime. Whoever made the mistake is definitely getting fired, probably cost tens of millions of dollars in replacement units.
Do you not remember Bendgate? iPhone news aggregates on sensational reporting of flaws that affect a fraction of a percentage of all users. And is it even confirmed that it’s an issue that would require replacement?

It's because it doesn't update the weather info in the background so it's jumping from the weather conditions at 8am to the weather conditions at noon when you got a text.

The only thing I miss about fingerprint sensors are the android style back of the phone ones that can be used as a swipe pad to easily check notifications/settings one handed. Other than that though, FaceID has really surprised me with how well it works. I have zero desire to go back to a fingerprint sensor anywhere on the phone.

Also an Apple Watch really pairs nicely too, with super fast NFC stuff and backup unlocking your phone quickly if for some reason FaceID fails.

I’m completely indifferent. As long as they can fit a C port into the current design without loving it up and making it thicker then whatever.

I’d like to see the setups of the people who complain about “having to use two different cables” though. Probably complete disaster areas. An extra cable isn’t gonna kill you.

Oh yeah I’d been meaning to ask. iPod Shuffle havers, how did that feel like at the time? I always felt like lack of a screen would be a nonstarter, but maybe back then people just shuffled their music more? Could you choose playlists or were you just stuck to one?
It was incredibly sick to like, take on a run/walk and just have 3 hours of music in a paper clip or whatever. I always used mine as like a secondary "active" iPod and used a regular screened iPod for general daily use.

Battery life is considerably less, but it still lasts a full day with regular use and honestly with fast charging now I can’t imagine it really being a deciding factor for me. If I’m at 14% I’ll just plug it in for 5 minutes and get another 4 hours out of it.

Might buy another one next year when they’re on clearance cause it really is the perfect size phone.

5/5S/SE is by far the coolest design. I just picked the SE because I think the Space Gray or whatever is slightly more stark looking than the Midnight of the 5.
