How do I make sense of the “Maximum Capacity” readout on the Battery Health setting page? My XR reads 85%. Does that mean, all things being equal, my phone has 15% shorter battery life against another XR with a new battery if they’re performing the same battery drain benchmark?

ThermoPhysical posted:85% is really low considering the phone starts at 100%... How long does it take to get to that number? I mean I’ve had this XR since launch day. Sept 2018. And I’ve used it extensively each day because I’m a little goon. If I replace the battery, does it help at all with resale value? I figure Apple doesn’t care as long as the phone turns on and the glass isn’t cracked. Would I have luck on Swappa next year? Or sell it on Craigslist (while wearing a stab resistant vest)

I cannot wait until apple makes a shatterproof phone and I will buy it on day one so I can finally be free of cases. About once a month I drop my phone in such a way that it would have definitely shattered had I not had a case put on.EL BROMANCE posted:

Vegetable posted:I reaaaaally hate the new video player. The interface covers the video. And I don’t know what’s going on but when you tap the screen in a certain way it just starts jumping forward in a kinda erratic way. It’s nothing like YouTube’s interface for instance and it gives you no clue what you’re doing to cause the thing that’s happening.

Yeah Siri voice tends to go to drunk disjointed mode for random reasons for me but that goes back to iOS 15. I can’t figure out why it does that some times but not others.

There’s Bluetooth keyboards with a switch that you can toggle for devices. So say you get a text while using your keyboard for your desktop, hit the switch for device 2 and then you can reply to your texts easily.

It’s weird because my old battery at 83% health would do that occasionally but it would never trigger that flag in the battery health menu that says the phone is crashing. Unless it actually wasn’t crashing and restarting itself because of the battery but because of something else? Who knows

For what it’s worth, I called the Secretary of State voter hotline to see if me (re)registering to vote this late in the game, after my outdated address ballot arrived, would be an issue. Lady on the phone said I should be getting an updated ballot with the new address and precinct in the mail soon. If it doesn’t show up, I’d have to vote in person, which is something I’d prefer not to do at the end of a long workday. Also find it really funny how hard Prop 27 tried to make itself related to homelessness instead of gambling.

Does this alarm thing happen to all phones or is it just an iPhone 14 thing? I feel like both those happened around the same time but I can’t be certain. This rock solid stability can only be found with an iPhone XR, baby

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?

Still nuts to me that apple has replaceable batteries for its AirTags. I wonder why they did that instead of coming up with 5 reasons why they didn’t and why you should be happy it’s that way.

This year is gonna be the upgrade year for me, and something im curious about is how much storage I'd want for my next phone. This is what it looks like currently with 128GB. iOS says that "System Data" is just under 39GB and that This value will fluctuate according to system needs. Without this, I would have 73GB free instead of the 34GB that I have now. How "fluid", for lack of a better term, is this reserved space? Would it shrink up as I continue to fill my phone with apps/photos? Is it kind of like how Windows shows a lot of extra RAM being used when in reality its holding it for other resources and can properly utilize it when its needed? I don't want to overspend on a 15 this fall when 128gb would suit me as it has since 2018, but the existence of this fat chunk of storage potentially being used up gives me pause.

Uh so when I got my 5c back in like 2014, that was a blank slate after coming from Android. From 5C to7 Plus, I did that iCloud transfer thing where the new phone magically gets all the apps and settings and wallpapers and everything ported over. Then I did the same process with upgrading the 7 Plus to the yellow XR. Does reclaiming that 30 or so gigs require me to set up the iPhone 15 (which will definitely launch with yellow as an option) as a new phone and not do all the automatic backup icloud magic?EL BROMANCE posted:I did a fresh install on my 14 Pro and it’s at 25gb in system data. It’s just, and always has been, incredibly bad at regulating that stuff. MacOS isn’t much better. i was hoping this wasnt the case.

I use my phone moderately heavily especially in theme parks like Disneyland and a 10k mah Anker power brick (around $20?) is more than enough for me. When it’s time to recharge I have the battery in my backpack and a cable running from the smallest backpack pouch to my front pocket where my phone is. Idk what your specific circumstances are but it’s a system that works for me without any hassle. Unless you really need the convenience of 0 cables I don’t see the need for a MagSafe here.

I feel like I’m kinda going nuts with notifications. I feel like I’ve cleared notifications before by swiping on them. Then later on they’ll appear on my lock screen again after being hidden for a while? This seemed to have happened when apple split notifications up between “Notification Center” and “lock screen”, so maybe an OS update or two ago?

I cannot wait to upgrade to the 15 this year. Half because some apps cannot operate smoothly, other half because this and my AirPods are the only holdouts left on lightning. I’m also hoping the 15 has better night/lowlight photos than this venerable XR.

Does Siri straight up not know where I live or work anymore? Whenever I say “Siri take me home/to work” It will sometimes direct me to a place close to, but not, actually my house or job. It’ll acknowledge that it’s taking me to either one of two destinations but it’ll just take me somewhere else completely. Or course, typing Home or Work in Apple Maps will take me to the proper address.

I feel like my XR to 15 leap is gonna be pretty minor, which is a shame. The biggest pain points are certain bloated apps (looking at you, Grindr) crashing on my phone, as well as FaceTime also causing heat issues that cause my screen to dim. But aside from that, I feel like all I have to look forward to is better night/low light photos. Oh and less reliance on lightning cables. I’m still looking forward to a new phone come September/October, but it’s not going to feel as big of a leap as the 5C-7 Plus was. That was exciting.

Im helping my buddy cop a refurb apple product since apple charges a grip on New. Is https://refurb-tracker.com/ the right one to use? I know the thread had a favorite but I can’t remember which. And also to be sure im relaying the right information to him - refurb stuff gets a new battery, new “shell”, same warranty as new…and new screen I think? I feel like at least one of those is wrong but my googling is turning up conflicting info.

Yeah sorry I left that important sentence out. We just want alerts since the iPad Air 5th gen he wants is out of stock. He’d be buying direct from the refurb Apple Store, he just wants alerts for first dibs.

Not sure if this is a Siri being garbage problem or an old phone (XR) problem, but does Siri ever acknowledge your commands but doesn’t do anything about them? Hey Siri, call Goon “Calling Goon…” (doesn’t call goon) Hey Siri, take me home. “Getting directions for home” (doesn’t open Maps and create a route)

That second one happens to me constantly?! My phone *knows* where home/work is, because if I type it in maps, it’s exactly where it should be. Siri on the other hand will proudly proclaim that it’s getting directions to home, then take me a few neighborhoods away.
