Detective No. 27 posted:Is anyone concerned about burn in with the Always On display? Samsung introduced the feature with the Galaxy S8 and I used it and could see burn in from the clock and to my shame the Awful app borders. But that was a few years ago, display tech improves pretty fast. Beside the early burn-in with the first OLED iPhones i don't have heard much about that issue recently, i think that whatever mitigation has been used to keep the lower slider bar from being burned will hopefully be used for the lock screen clock.

In case people were wondering if the AirPods Pro recall trick was still active, it does. Just grabbed a free set(L/R) with a single malfunctioning earbud.

USB-C euro mandate has passed https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/usb-c-mandate-moves-forward-in-eu-wireless-charging-regulation-could-follow/ I would guess 2023 iPhones to be the last lightning device if Apple doesn't decide to anticipate the change.

Endless Mike posted:Every rumor has been pointing at the 2023 iPhone being USB-C, which will pretty much leave just AirPods, some (all?) wireless Beats, the base iPad, and AppleTV remotes with Lightning, and I suspect the base iPad is getting a redesign to look like the rest of the lineup. Audio devices and tablets will have to jump too in 2024, I think only the remote will be out of scope in that list. Also magsafe is not safe(AYYYYYYY) as usb-c connector for charging will be mandatory from 2026.

Oh gently caress, the minutes are out but not the final directive. This is one of the amendments from yesterday https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-9-2022-0129_EN.html 1. equipment operating with power delivery of up to 100W falling under the scope of this Directive: - hand-held mobile phones, - tablets, e-readers, laptops, - digital cameras, - headphones, headsets, earbuds, - handheld videogame consoles, keyboards, mice, screens, printers, - portable speakers, portable navigations, digital radios, - smart watches, wearable and health trackers, personal care devices, sport and lighting equipment, - electronic toys. Apple watch is in the list too then. Soul Glo posted:Does the new EU law prevent Apple from just paying a fine if Apple decides implementing USB-C costs more than just leaning on their proprietary licensed accessory market The amendment says that Apple must justify for each device, every time the commission feels like it, why they did not implement it, with solid reasoning unless they want bad things to happen.

PirateDentist posted:The new apple watch charging puck is USB-C on the other end now. Does any fitness thing/watch use a direct connection with a standard port? Don’t most of them use an adapter that itself has a USB plug? Garmin has a connector on vivoactives which is physical with bogopins but almost as big/deep as usb-c. The cheaper fitness watches are mostly all bogopins, not inductive charging, with pretty much usb-a laid out on the chassis.

Question Mark Mound posted:So my region’s covid exposure app ended service last month. Is there any benefit at all to leaving exposure notifications on in iOS or is it just a battery drain that does nothing for me now?

Henrik Zetterberg posted:It's not an app though. It's just baked into the OS. You can disable it, however, by tapping "turn off exposure notifications" or removing the region. Most EU covid exposure platforms were app based and iOS relied on that apps to even enable the exposure stack. iOS doing it without an app is done only in the united states AFAIK. My whole office is mostly novaxxers and 5g believers, I'm fairly confident to be the only one using IMMUNI so even being deep in the covid swamps(and having my office room mates being infected multiple times, sometimes several variants each) it didn't provide much intelligence.

Endless Mike posted:How does dual SIMs work in practice? We're going to Italy next week and I intend to get a local data-only eSIM. I'll still be able to send and receive iMessages since it'll be over data, just not my US data, correct? Italy data only plans are more expensive than data+voice unless you go for minuscule amounts. An iliad data+voice with hundreds of gigs cost as much as a 50g data only plan from TIM. Anyway iMessage is data traffic as long as you don't have android friends in the group session but you will have to set the italian sim to be the sole provider of connectivity, there is a toggle to load balance traffic that must be kept off.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:My mom and her husband just switched over to iPhone after always being on Android. Her husband is having an issue with an old LG bluetooth headset he uses. He needs it max volume for reasons, but iOS keeps automatically turning it down. Reduce loud volume is turned off in sound & haptics, headphone notifications is turned off, and he’s tried changing device type to everything in Bluetooth settings. No matter what, the phone automatically reduces volume. Is there any way to get around this? You can set up the third party headset as a car stereo so the safety isn't triggered. This trick doesn't work with native apple audio product obvs.

I have an upcoming trip planned and honestly I just want to give it the most chance of making it through the day as I possibly can while I wait for the USB-C phone. Grab a lightweight powerbank (8000-12000mAh) and keep it along the phone. If the battery isn't enough, that way you can hold your current workflow without having to commit cash on that old phone.

OldSenileGuy posted:I prefer using Apple Maps instead of Google or Waze, but you're correct that their speed trap alerts have been 100% wrong in my experience. When they say there's one ahead, I never see one, and I see them all the time when there was no warning. Would be nice if they could get some kind of data sharing agreement with Google/Waze for this info, but that'll never happen. Waze "notify the community about a mobile speed trap" is illegal in multiple countries so every other mapping solution will just use the static speed trap data provided by tomtom or here(which is in turn provided by the local municipalities) to avoid legal disputes.

Amazon.it is doing a 22% discount promo on standard 14 - 128gb today. I'm currently on a 64gb XR with a 95% health battery. I wanted to know the goon consensus if it's a good idea to upgrade or it's a bad deal. Every apple device i have is on lightning so usb-c is actually a downgrade. Edit: I forgot to mention, minimal storage size is not an issue since i have my own NAS and OneDrive. Camera improvements will be strongly appreciated since I stopped carrying my old canon ixus along. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 11:33 on May 12, 2023 |

Unlike the XR, it has optical zoom (last time i had to get some zoom out of the XR, I had to prop a binocular in front of the phone lens to see anything) and sorta decent glass so it can still produce slightly better pics when there isn't a lot of light. Movie wise it's so obsolete there is no contest. Thanks for the replies everyone, I just ordered it along with a grandpa style flip cover(I'm old ok?).

Amazon just delivered the phone(with pretty much zero packaging). Trying to move data, I'm having a shitload of issues. The wizard is getting stuck on the firmware update part, second time i had to reinitialize. I'm skilled enough to use configurator to circumvent this if it gets stuck on the third attempt but isn't this supposed to be fire and forget? Edit: it worked at the second attempt, migrating viable data for less than a third of the apps. Had to set up every app beside games.

I know it's basic knowledge, but I wanted to remind that turning off 5G is a real battery save option. On my new 14 it's a 30% battery charge saving per day. If you don't need upload/download on the move (say you are in a wifi covered area), you will save a decent amount of charge.

Have you tried that? 5G Auto is supposed to only use 5G data if it won't result in significant battery drain, per the explanation in Settings. The worse battery scenario in my last post was recorded on the default 5G auto setting, since I'm mostly on wifi there is no difference for me in throttling (if I wanted to max janitor i could disable data entirely, but that's excessive even for me). I wasn't expecting this tidbit to create such vitriol
