If you find it difficult going from a small phone to such a big phone, consider the pop socket MagSafe wallet. Allows you to store cards and has a very nice grip. And because of MagSafe its super easy to remove or attach.

“Hey siri, delete all my alarms”

Thoughts on turning off always on display? in c/[email protected]

I have it on during workouts and if I wear short sleeves. But in winter with hoodies and heavy jackets I have it off most of the time sicne I can’t just glance at it like I can during summer.

Would you say a iPhone 12 Pro max is still worth buying as it be 2024 soon and it be 4 years old in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Depends on the price.

12 Pro is the oldest I would go. LiDAR, decent night mode, Dolby vision video, 5G. 11 pro is missing all those things.

I’m starting to think maybe I shouldn’t have chosen to rely completely on MagSafe charging… (iPhone not charging because of high temp) in c/[email protected]

I Am not sure if standby mode actually counts as screen active time, shouldn’t matter either way.

Do you have a case on your phone?

Do you use the Apple 20W charger?

Does your phone do any background tasks while charging? (Apart fro, standby)

WatchOS 10 opinion? in c/[email protected]

I go by the same principle. No need to rush things.

WatchOS 10 opinion? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I don't have a negative prejudice against it, if it seemed that way. Just heard a lot negative stuff about it and wanted to hear if people still feel that way.

I think its fine.

WatchOS 10 opinion? (alien.top)
 

Some time has now passed and watchOS10 was from what I read here on reddit probably the most controversial Apple OS update for this year.

It brought many changes and removed and added features that required some getting used to.

So after all this time, how happy are you with it?

Do you regret updating? What do you really like and what do you (still) dislike?

Should Apple add some minimalist form of focus control on iPhones? (alien.top)
 

Personally I think that the normal iPhone camera app has exactly the right amount of control options for most users. They are quickly accessible and easy to understand for anyone. If someone wants to control every single detail, there are plenty of apps that allow for that.

------

However one thing that bothers me, especially with lidar equipped iPhones is the auto focus. Don't get me wrong, auto focus works really great and insanely fast most of the time, but some times it makes it impossible to get a great shot.

I am talking about situations with a partially obstructed view.

At a sport events, trying to take a picture through the protective netting, the phone doesn't take focus on the game, only on the net. Or taking pictures through a rainy car window. The camera will only focus on the rain drops. Not on anything outside. Or at the aquarium, where the phone focused on the glass and not the fish that were behind it.

​

I am not talking about a scroll wheel that allows you to fine tune the focus. I am talking about 3 presets that give the phone a general idea on where to focus in case auto focus misses. That way you can tell the phone to try to focus on something in the distance without figuring out for a minute what the best settings are.
