  • Great take. One of the main reasons I switched to iOS this year after always using Android is Apple’s relatively faster fixes. (Yeah Google is fast with the Pixel, but I’ve got more reasons.)

    I don’t blame Apple. I wanted to share this article because some posters who experienced this were lambasted/mocked for claiming their phones overheated.

  • There's a trick. First, say Hey Siri play spotify [Playlist name / radio]. Siri will start playing it. Now when you open Shortcuts and search your actions for Spotify, it'll be listed temporarily. You can then incorporate that into your Shortcut.

  • Despite the downvotes, you have a point. Sure, it's only 1 data point for this particular model, and the pressure applied isn't a measured force that's been kept consistent across models. But assuming that applied pressure has been relatively consistent over the years and that Jerry's hand muscles haven't gotten significantly stronger since the 14 series, there's a bit of concern.

  • Planning to make Focus-variable Shortcut. For example, if current Focus is Sleep, then action button toggles bedroom lights. If current Focus is Work, then action button connects to Bluetooth speaker and plays Spotify.

  • I do full encrypted backups onto local storage, so I appreciate the faster data transfer (which only applies to the 15 Pro/Max right now, not the 15/Plus). My car's dashcam doesn't have wifi, so I rely on a microSD reader; transferring videos will be faster.

    I already have USB-C to USB-C cables for my MacBook and iPad and previous Samsung devices, so I'm set.

    Been seeing some silly sketches about people borrowing chargers from each other.

  • Oh that detail helps. My partner complained that her 14 Pro was not right: slow while typing in iMessage and FB Messenger. When I tried her phone later I had no issues. I'm going to have to check her Focus and Shortcuts for low power mode.

  • Yeah I read a thread on Macrumors, and one person described the steps on how they got it to work, but no one could replicate.

    The one little syncing that worked for me was that my MacBook account updated with my new contact photo.

  • iPadOS is rather half-assed. Smooth, yes, but despite all that processing power it lacks a lot of functionality that you get with a MacBook. It'll also be way more comfortable typing on a MacBook than the portable keyboard.
