Thread, what case brands are we recommending? I've got a Spigen on my 12PM currently, and I know they were recommended in the previous thread. But who else? Apple brand cases? Are Otterboxes still used?

Spigen are great for good protection at a cheap price. They might not last years but also they’re a fraction of the price of Apple or Otterbox.
I've had this phone for almost 2 years and this Spigen case has been on it the entire time :haw:

Also, good news for 13 Mini users who wanted the battery percentage:

Apple Care + is my case.

When I upgraded to the 13 Pro, I managed to smash my trade-in phone while waiting for the pre-order to arrive. One quick support ticket later, I was mailing back a pristine replacement that I’d held for 3 days.
I've had AppleCare+ on my 12 Pro Max since I got it. Should I go caseless? It looks so pretty caseless but it feels so exposed without one :ohdear:

It did remember from Friday, when I got and setup the phone, to Sunday. This morning then, it flipped to Apple Music for whatever reason. I mean, I've uninstalled it now. But still, there ought to be a default setting for this (too).

The U2 thing, I think iOS ships with some album of theirs? Was the same on my 12 Pro back then. Apple Music always had some full U2 album, when without subscription.
The U2 thing (Songs of Innocence being included on everyone's iTunes accounts) happened in 2014. Is it still included with iOS 16 by default? That'd be wild. I and a lot of other people used Apple's official link to remove the album from our accounts, but then again, I'm sure a lot of people didn't.

I would imagine if you still have the album linked to your iTunes account and you tell the music app (or if you sync it with a pc) to download all your poo poo, it would download that album.
Yeah, now that I think about it, it probably has nothing to do with the software version. It's kinda hilarious that that album is still wreaking havoc on iPhone users 8 years later :lol:

I'm on a 12 Pro Max and haven't noticed any real bugs aside from the pasting permission prompt thing, but that got fixed in today's update. Even early on in the betas, 16 performed totally fine for me. I'd say go ahead and update.

Yeah, I went to 2 shows the past couple nights and saw several phones unlocked around me but didn't notice any Dynamic Island. It's still brand new, though, so it's probably too early to tell.

Apple Music sucks.
I used a free trial of it years ago and found this to be the case, but then again, I'm also a PC user. The one benefit to Apple Music over Spotify was that with Apple Music, titles automatically displayed when I turned on my car and started using it. With Spotify or other apps, I have to open Music.app first and started playing something in there for titles to display properly in my car. For everything else, I like Spotify better and have been using Spotify Premium for something like 6 years now with no plans to quit.

iOS question: I’ve got a 13 Pro running 16.2. Since I updated to 16, if I ever copy something to paste into another app I always get a notification that says “Do you want to allow (app I copied from) to paste to (app I am in now)?” I always say yes then have to paste again. But every day this resets and the apps never remember that I gave permission to paste. How do I make this behavior go away so I can just copy and paste between apps without getting the annoying dialogue?
I'm not sure that you can :( One of the recent iOS updates was supposed to have fixed that bug but I still get it too. Maybe there's a way to fix it that I don't know about, though.

To give lasting permission, you have to go to the destination app's section in Settings and change "Paste From Other Apps" from 'Ask' to 'Allow'.

This only appears after you've tried to paste into that app at least once.
Well that's loving annoying that you have to do that on a per app basis, but now Awful won't ask me anymore. Thank you!

New iPhones usually get revealed in June, right? So the 15 will be revealed in a matter of weeks. If you don't need a new phone right this second, I'd wait at least until then so you can see what you'd be missing by not getting the 15, but yeah, X to 14 will be a noticeable improvement for you. That's a several generation leap.
