so still yet to get off my rear end to put my phone on my own appleid or whatever so I guess that means actually starting my phone from scratch? all apps I have previously bought are gone? and will have to re-buy is there a quick way to copy contacts? no icloud in history for ones I download? what about icloud calendars? is there a way to share them? or if not how do ya do shared calendars

just all ios devices in the house are on one id.. it's not necessarily clear that you shouldnt do this when you set up. regardless, am moving out and also sick of poo poo being shared between phones like imessages etc seems sharing a calendar isn't hard, but I wonder if that means I can import it on my phone and it acts as if it's one of mine as far as apps go I think only one I will have to re-buy but what a hassle gently caress lame

yeah in his first-day review he mentioned that apple says it works best 10-20 inches from your face and then says he usually holds it further away than that. like, does he walk around holding his phone at arm's length all the time?

they could give out only one unit to the pioneer woman cooking blog and it would make zero effect on sales. also, they only made like 40 of them, so you can think of the people getting them on Friday as early reviewers anyway since you won't be able to go into a store and buy one til January.

Bulgogi Hoagie posted:also sapphire glass or whatever that actually doesn’t get scratched it turns out sapphire isn't a good phone material since it's so brittle once it does fail instead of getting a little scratch or small crack the whole crystal shatters and when you drop a phone on its edge or corner it's super likely to have enough energy to destroy it apple spent like 5 billion dollars learning this lesson so they use laminated glass instead

My stainless steel Apple Watch’s screen is pretty scratched up, but in my defense, I actually had a pocket full of sand (long story) that I stuck my watch into.

cannot wait for phones that require you to hold the phone perfectly in front of your face which will be very convenient for muggers since you're basically handing it to them
