I HATE APPLE

^^^^^^ agreed.

Big album art is back on the lockscreen, so I’m happy.

what??? oh shit i gotta upgrade then

Yes but it toggles back to tiny artwork if you nudge the screen
Sigh

Ok that stupid ass photo cutout feature was worth the upgrade alone, wasting too much time on this

6 gigs of ram on this phone and it still can’t remember my place in a note

This is like if I posted every time some spam told me my virus protection was expiring

Yeah - we got it with your first complaint.

just fyi if you go settings --> accessibility --> audio/visual there's an on/off for headphone volume safety notifications

I absolutely understand the unfortunate need for warnings about AirTags and AirPods being used for nefarious purposes, but HOLY SHIT Apple I do not need three days of notifications about my wife's AirPods every time we have them with us on a car ride.

here's something i hate about apple: by winnowing out the headphone jack, they have made it socially acceptable (at least in my big city) for people who can't afford airpods to just use the onboard phone speakers. so everywhere you go, people are blaring tiktoks and youtube videos and voicemails and whatever. the train is more of a nightmare than usual and i blame fucking apple.

As I've said many times: Anyone who tells you "there isn't room for a headphone jack" is lying to you pic.twitter.com/vNJRc2RMe3

was waiting for that argument. The difference is that the playing of your youtube/tiktok/voicemail isn't a transgressive act on the subway these days; it's become generally accepted (if loathed) from grandmothers, children, hipsters, explicit assholes and distracted deliverypeople alike. everybody's doing it!

Dude, just put in your own AirPods with noise canceling so you don’t hear the noise of the poor.

Dead iPhone been charging for almost an hour and still not turning on.

There are a few king-fu reset techniques to coax unresponsive phones into life, you might need a few button presses

Heh.

The thing that worries me is that it does show the read almost dead battery icon that is supposed to mean it is charging, but only when I hit the start button, otherwise it goes to black again.

If I disconnect then I see the cable thingy telling me to plug it in again but then back to black. All of which says to me that it is trying to recharge but not succeeding.

have you assiduously cleaned out the charging slot on your phone? dust can get in there and interfere with the connection

That is often a problem but not recently. Maybe I should just use a Qi charger? Otherwise I might just get the battery replaced.

In addition to everything else I need an authentication app on that device.

^thing that looks like an onion article

Is it just me or does the battery life on the new Pros kind of suck?

Upgraded to Ventura last night Stage Manager is just baffling to me. Not sure how it improves upon anything.

xp yeah agreed. although I haven't measured or anything.

disgusting

dang, that tracks with my experience

Apple Music is really playing up for me. It keeps forgetting I have an active subscription and I get the ‘join now’ message. It remembers when I sign out and sign in again - but then it takes ages to update the iCloud music library.

Other minor niggle: my iPhone 12 seems to have a problem that I last had with an earlier iPhone (6 or 7), in that putting it in my pocket without touching any of the controls seems to turn the volume right down. I think I remember sorting that previously, but can’t be bothered enough to fix it right now.

that happens to me sometimes, and i assume i’m hitting some kind of muting shortcut? no idea

Update: pleased to say that the Apple Music problem was resolved via chat support to fix a few settings. Chat support worked much better than I was expecting.

My phone is getting old and has served me well. I did have to get a battery case but at least that lasts a long time even though the phone is now a bit chunky

I can't quite figure out the Share WIfi Password thing.

It should prompt you to share if you and the other person have Bluetooth on and are close to each other

You have to be in each others’ contacts book I think

Why has apple never gotten into the sextoy business

They fixed the play count bug in iTunes so I can finally see how many times I’ve listened to “楽園が待っています”

Hi go fuck yourself

settings > accessibility > audio/visual > headphone notifications

switch it off

think this has been mentioned, cheers

I'm officially not imagining it: my M1 Mac is slower during the day than at night. As in, noticeable lag while typing during the day.

maybe you type faster during the day and your computer just can't handle your flyin fingers
