POCKET CHOMP posted:Someone mentioned resale value being important, and yeah, if that's true for you, I definitely do not recommend my approach. The screen is covered in tons of small scratches that are only visible when it's off, but they are there, no doubt. The metal band around the outside has quite a few random small nick and scratches from drops, too. That's why you get the Pro model. Stainless steel won't scratch. The new glass seems way tougher too. (at least versus scratches, dunno about falls)

Duckman2008 posted:It’s steel dude. Same reason why 9/11 was an inside job. SS is the hardest material you're likely to come in contact with day to day. It's not beyond comprehension that a SS band will be much less scratched up than a Al one after going caseless for the same amount of time. My Pro may be covered with fingerprints but does not have a single scratch on it.

The new Space Black is still grey, but it's definitely darker than last year. The band is much, much darker, more like iPhone 5. Looks great! Light Blue and Mauve looked pretty bad in the store to me, but more power to anyone who gets one, I wish I could get away with that. The camera wart is actually more stable since it's wider and extends basically past the middle of the device.

101 posted:Needs suiting. Animations are extremely clean and smooth. Works out of the box with all audio apps. Excited to see what third parties can do and to get some sports scores up there I actually think the audio app in the island is a bit bizarre and probably just Apple reaching for day 1 functionality. It takes up a lot of space (basically makes the island bigger than the notch ever was) and doesn't display anything useful. Tapping the island to go to your audio app is slower than using the app switcher unless you have a 6" thumb. Reachability doesn't move the island down either. If the "graphic equalizer" part could be a skip button instead that would be a bit more functional.

Rinkles posted:Do people like FaceID? Does it work reliably on a phone? I have it in my iPad Pro and though it works a lot of the time, it fails way too often for my taste. I never had a X or a 11 but on 12, 13, 14 it's been good. Paying via NFC is still "worse" than TouchID, simply because of the ergonomics of holding out a card to a card reader. If you have 2FA notifications that you have to accept with biometric then it's also slightly "worse" assuming your phone is lying more or less flat on the desk.

The Dave posted:The carriers are also working with a third party for those international services so the margins may not be as lofty as it might seem. I actually know someone that was the product owner for launching that feature with a carrier and now I wish I paid more attention to the financials. I don't get why e.g. Vodafone isn't using it as some kid of point of differentiation. Oh well, with eSIMs and iMessage it's slowly getting easier. Still kind of a pain. (I feel like IOS16 is trying to get you to initiate conversations to people's iCloud email address over phone.)

Not porting a number, pulling out your home country SIM and using a native country SIM for the duration of your holiday. I don't know if things are better now but in 2019 it was a pain.

sourdough posted:Is deactivating iMessage and not having sms fail a reliable thing now? I haven't paid attention to that in forever, but whenever I use an iPhone for a bit I don't use iMessage just in case. iMessage deactivation was always reliable. The problem was that people wouldn't deactivate iMessage, just take out their SIM and chuck the iPhone in a drawer or whatever. Other iPhone users would send a message to that number and it would go via iMessage, so they wouldn't get it. Nowadays there's a website to deactivate iMessage for a phone number, and also if you change your phone number it will deregister after 28 days or 30 days or something like that.

buglord posted: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? Growing up on MacAddict Forums, rip/mix/burn, and the early days of the iTunes Music Store with 99¢ per track!; albums were always this very boomer concept to me. I don't think I've ever listened to an album start to finish except for Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War Of The Worlds.

WarMECH posted:Settings > Messages > Notifications > Customize Notifications > Allow Notifications (Unknown Senders toggle on/off) Thanks very much for this, but I don't think this is quite what I want. When a message comes in, I want the notification (especially since I can silence conversations.) I can swipe it off the lock screen but it's still "unread" and there's still a red bubble over the app icon. I think this setting will stop the notifications but keep the red bubble with the unread count?

~Coxy posted:Thanks very much for this, but I don't think this is quite what I want. The setting does remove unknown senders unread count from the red bubble, which is great. However it obviously also stops notifications for them, which is sub-optimal for delivery notifications, 2FA codes, and other junk.

I haven't had any scratches on the SS bands of iPhones Pro from going caseless. I don't carry keys in the same pocket though. If you're buying second hand I would go for a 13 Pro Max (assuming that you can't get a 14 Pro Max second hand just yet.)

Widgets and Home Screen (thanks, autocapitalize) are only at 2% of battery, so if that can be believed it’s something else. AO display obviously costs something, but I’m not sure if that’s it. I definitely find the battery on the 14 Pro to be worse than the 13 Pro. Could just be the AOD.

Mister Facetious posted:Can someone explain to me the easiest way to transfer the photos from my mom's phone to either my Apple device or cloud? She died, and i want to preserve them if possible. My condolences. Probably the easiest option is to plug the phone into a computer with "Keep Originals" setting turned on. Copy everything to the computer. If it's a PC you probably can't actually look at the photos (they will be HEIC) but at least you have another copy of everything. Then to get them into your iCloud, you can upload them through iCloud Photos web interface. If you don't have access to a computer at all, you can probably do some fuckery with Shared Photo Libraries.

If you go into System Profiler while charging the phone from the Mac it might tell you. Or try Coconut Battery.

(Although I have to agree that there's some really odd apps that are banned. Why are torrent apps banned? Why is Kodi banned when Plex is allowed?

I'd like to see the policy that if it's listed in the App Store, it has to have feature-parity with the sideload version. Maybe there's too many edge cases for this to work.

doingitwrong posted:14 Pro Owners: How is the Dynamic Island? Meaningful UI improvement? Just kinda cool? Annoying? I think it's a cool idea, but the 99 times out of 100 that I see it, it's just a stupid podcast cover art on the left and a meaningless VU meter on the right. For playing music or podcasts it doesn't actually serve any function except as a quick-app-change if you tap on it, and it makes the notch bigger than the 13. It's also slightly buggy, for example if you switch apps a lot sometimes it will get confused and stop showing you what was in the Island previously. In conclusion, Dynamic Island is a land of contrasts.
