Yep. This was added in the last major iOS update I believe.

Okay so I’m almost to my two year AppleCare+ period. Should I extend it indefinitely by making it a monthly AppleCare+? I’d like to try and maximize the years I get out of this phone and the battery replacement itself may be a return on investment.

What iOS 17 feature is everyone most interested in? For me, it’s the new journal / mental health aspect.

The bed is for three things:
Sleeping
Group physical exercise
Enjoying your iPhone caseless

iPhone two year AppleCare+ is ending soon. Has anyone else opted over to month-to-month AC+ to keep the coverage? I figure if I keep this phone for at least a few more years I’ll use it for battery replacement and can worry less if I drop it and it needs replaced. My phone is my daily user and central tool for a lot of tasks, so having the next day shipment of a replacement option is also nice.

Thoughts?

What can I do to make the battery wear faster? Battery health on my 13 Pro is at 85%, and I'd love to get a free replacement under AppleCare before it expires on October 1. I think it needs to be at 80% before they'll do a replacement? But even if I can get it down to 82/83 I feel like my chances are good.

EDIT: Actually - I'm definitely going to be getting a screen replacement before AppleCare is up (I live that case-less life and my screen has a ton of micro scratches and one real scratch that can catch a fingernail on it). If I go in for a screen replacement AND a battery replacement at once - are they going to do both to my phone? Or are they just going to give me a new (refurb) phone?

I am also curious about the battery question.

For micro scratches, do they honor a screen replacement? I thought it needed to be cracked? Or, do you plan to “become” really clumsy? Lol

This guide goes deeper into making Apple Music recommendations better more quickly as well.

I found this really helpful and insightful. Thanks.

iPhone 15 Pro is a completely unnecessary upgrade from my 13 Pro, but holy christ what a nice phone to hold.

The dynamic island is a definite quality of life improvement, but I’m not sure about the always-on screen.

I am very pleasantly surprised by how much nicer it is to hold as well. I’m going bare with this one and embracing it as a tool I enjoy and have peace of mind with AppleCare+.

For you case optional folks - screen down, or camera bump down?

I always go camera bump down because it’s stronger material and I prefer no scratches to my screen. I figure if the camera ever did get messed with, it’s more likely AC+ would replace it than a cosmetic scratch to screen.

Technically yes, but no more than twice in 12 months.

Recent AppleCare updates changes it from two incidents a year to unlimited.

So with Artifact finally dead, what’s a good news app? News.app is atrocious with how much it’s “here’s what we think you should read” and no matter how much I try to tune it, it just ends up becoming a somehow more cumbersome RSS reader with ads. I have an RSS reader app but I really liked that Artifact would occasionally pop up something that was interesting but also outside my typically read articles and RSS really can’t do that.

I’ve tried out a handful of other news apps and most of them are just dire clickbait nonsense slightly above downloading a tabloid directly to my phone.

Wouldn’t be a huge loss if I just read less news but is there anything decent out there I should try out?

In beta, wait list. But you can sign up and read it on the web site in a limited, “top news” fashion.

Checked these out, particle looks pretty promising, and news minimalist seems like a good thing for me to use right now.

Thanks, these will do nicely.

Yay! Glad it was a good fit.
