The Grumbles posted:Yes, that's what I've been doing. But the issue is with iOS' cut out feature that it doesn't automatically save things with a transparent background but a white one. People were running into the issue in the previous iPhone thread when they were posting pictures of their pets, and someone listed a quick fix which I can't find. It’s not Apple, it’s that places like WhatsApp, Discord and Imgur compress the image and remove transparency. The fix was to upload it to someplace like Dropbox that doesn’t mess with the images.

On every other leather case I’ve tried the buttons are mushy as poo poo, no one seems to make nice metal buttons to go with the leather cases so it’s Apple cases for life.

Brave was doing some shady stuff with their BAT tokens where they said they were giving the money to sites and creators but it was an opt-out (opt-in?) system where they earned money on people’s behalf whether they wanted to or not. They also had an interesting “bug” where they “accidentally” injected their own affiliate code when someone signed up for the Binance crypto exchange. As far as the browser tech itself it seems perfectly fine.

Jose Oquendo posted:Does anyone remember the U2 iPod lmao. The HP iPod was one of the biggest coups Apple ever pulled. Apple got: iTunes installed as the default music player, for millions of PCs from the largest consumer PC manufacturer on the planet leading to a total dominance in music sales and further cementing themselves as the premier portable music player HP got: an iPod that had “HP” engraved on the back. Also, since these were officially HP products Apple did not warranty or repair them. HP was also forbidden from making their own MP3 player for two years.

Nuts and Gum posted:I can’t believe how nice an always on screen is for glancing at the time and notifications. I’m sort of angry apple held out so long on this. Was there a legit reason, or just the usual funneling of features via a blood drip to satisfy quarterly demands? AOD, for Apple anyways, required a display that can drop to 1hz to be able to hit the battery life they want in the battery size they have. They only put that display in the 13 Pro, and even then it o it dropped to 10hz.

Question Mark Mound posted:I have like one too many Lightning accessories to wanna switch right now How are they "disabled" when not in work hours? Do you have like a Home focus mode or something? For my Outlook and Teams apps they each have their own "Work Hours" mode in the settings that disable all notifications except during work hours. I then have a Work focus mode that allows those apps and blocks most everything else.

iOS 16 just changed the wording from "No Signal" to "SOS" when you drop out of cell range but might be able to roam on another network for emergency calls. It has nothing to do with satellites.

I mean, phones have really matured and it's been years since I think I've been "wowed" by whatever new feature the iPhone rolls out. I will say that once you really get involved into the Apple ecosystem and have things like an Apple Watch or Airpods, that's when things really start to get interesting. An iPhone by itself isn't that much different than most flagship Android phones but an iPhone at the center of a whole cohesive ecosystem is what makes it really hard to switch away.

El Chingon posted:I'm still trying to wrap my head around the usefulness of the lightning port. It makes more sense when you understand that lighting was released two years before USB-C. They had to ditch the 30-pin for a smaller connector and they weren’t just gonna swap to USB-C so soon after. They designed Lightning with a useful life of at least a decade and we’re just now winding down from that.

xzzy posted:Fine print is fun. "The service will be included for free for two years starting at the time of activation of a new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.4" They pretty clearly mentioned the 2 years free service in the keynote. This is more similar to a PLB and not an inReach. There’s no two-way texting with family although they can do Find My. If you do have to call emergency services your emergency contact gets notified as well.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Is there a way to allow Outlook mail notifications while I'm in my work focus, but not allow them when I'm in NO focus (anytime outside work hours). It seems I can only add apps to the allowed/block list if I'm actually IN a focus, rather than not being in any focus. The outlook app has its own quiet hours setting. Set your quiet hours for whenever you’re not at work and allow the app in Work focus. Click your face/profile then click the alarm clock icon in the upper right

Resdfru posted:Any tips or tricks for switching? How do I live without a dedicated back and app switching button? They don't have touchid anymore right? They ever gonna bring it back? I've gotten so used to my in-screen fingerprint scanner, really gonna miss it. It’s all swipe gestures. If you want to go back, swipe back. If you want to switch apps either swipe left/right on the home bar or swipe up and get the app cards. It’s very intuitive once you get used to the gestures. I don’t have answers to your other questions but I will say that Apples strong points are it’s deep integration with other Apple services so I would recommend at least trying a clean start on Apple app (mail, maps, safari, etc) and see how you like it before switching over to Google apps.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:I thought I read somewhere that automatic iOS updates wait X weeks after release before it will possibly update. And even then I thought it was done in waves across multiple weeks to avoid 6 billion phones from all updating at the same time. It sometimes waits a few days but I’ve always gotten an update within a week of release, nearly always the day of or day after. It definitely does not wait multiple weeks

My phone and watch are charged on my nightstand so those have their own charger. The kid's iPads and a couple other various devices that take Lightning, USB-C and micro-USB are charged in the office. I have a 5 port USB-A charger and then a handful of these short multi-type charging cables. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HGSVJS1 They don't support fast charging but since these devices are typically plugged in overnight it doesn't matter.

It used to ask permission on the first paste attempt and the trust the app after that, setting to allow. Something changed in the recent iOS update and that trust gets broken and the app has to ask permission over and over. Apple confirmed this was unintended behavior and pushed a fix out but I still see it pop up occasionally

Buddy, they write those articles after every single iOS release. When Apple sells hundreds of millions of phones, even if a very very small percent of phones have issues that’s still hundreds of thousands of people. Is there a particular reason you are refusing to even try to do a restore?

This far into the game and I still feel like a dorkus who can't think what kind of phrasing to use until I'm halfway into a stammering unparseable command that I could have given in 1/10 the time by typing. You can pretty much talk conversationally to most smart speakers now. I think most people and hung up on thinking of the right phrase to say when you can usually just say what you would normally to a person. “Hey siri can you let everyone else know that the food is here?” would work just fine.

Jose Oquendo posted:I have a CarPlay question that I can't seem to find the answer to, if there is one. How do I customize the CarPlay Dashboard, or can you at all? I'm pretty sure that upper right window is going to always be associated with whatever mapping app you're using. For example, on Apple Maps it shows the main navigation on the left and the upper right shows next turn information. The bottom right, for me, shows audio and any upcoming calendar appointments depending on how soon they are.

Tom Tucker posted:I've got a 6 that has a battery that lasts for about an hour now so I'm ready for an upgrade. I haven't kept up with any of the recent models or reviews, does anyone in this thread have a suggestion on what model I should look at? I obviously don't care about having the latest so if there's a model that's 1/2 generations behind but super reliable and a lot cheaper I'd go for that. Appreciate any advice! The mini is a niche product and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wants a regular-rear end phone. Same with SE honestly. I would go 11 or 12 if you're OK with that price.

Tom Tucker posted:How does the mini compare to the 6 I use now? I don’t imagine I want a phone much bigger. My wife has a bigger one and it seems massive to me. The mini is smaller but has a larger screen since it's edge to edge. The 11 and up are larger than the 6 but smaller than the 6 plus, somewhere in between. The viewable screen are is much larger than the 6. The SE is the same form factor as the 6 with newer guts Here's a handy size comparison https://phonesized.com/compare/#473,1863,1975,1305,474
