I stood next to her and she did the thing?

Edit: and before there’s someone saying I shouldn’t spy on other people’s phones: She asks me stuff about her phone. I show her stuff. That’s how I noticed.

“as an engineer I understand why my computer sometimes wakes up quickly and sometimes wakes up slowly so it’s fine” is not an argument that works on Apple product managers.

iPads don’t have this issue, why should laptops? I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to identify the problem and how Apple will fix it

sometimes mbp woke quick so

if you leave your laptop unplugged and in ram-using sleep mode (ie not hibernate to disk) for long periods then you are an idiot

are you gonna complain if you leave your car battery on overnight and it drains even though you weren't "doing anything" with the car

especially when the solution is so simple: don't be a moron and do the thing you are supposed to do with the thing

use lappy: lid open

not use lappy: lid closed


anymore than this is eXXXTREME janitoring

i presume a mbp still does disk hibernation if the battery would actually just cut out (losing state) otherwise, and i suspect people who run down their battery to that extent would be pretty easily convinced of the wisdom of the restore if it is just made clearly different from waking up from normal sleep

realistically apple does not want to make additional variants though, which is legitimately annoying, but it sure wouldn't make sense to make *all* mbps less battery-efficient just to sell a fraction of them actually with more than 16 gigs of ram

that's why every morning you should

- go into app store, make sure all the apps are updated for the day
- kill all background/frozen apps with the long hold on the X and swipe up motion
- go into settings/icloud/backup and run a backup
- wait till the backup is complete, turn off wifi manually in settings because control center is garbage
- swipe away settings
- shutdown the iphone x by holding the lock button and volume up and swipe to turn off

- fresh boot




never had any battery problems with any iphones with the fresh boot method every morning especially with the background app disabled completely

if you press the share button, and then press request desktop site, you should be able to see them. i think i had to reload a time or two, but it works enough.

oh yeah those are a given

have your iphone x plugged in already and fully charged when you go through every step

unplug only after the last step of fresh reboot with passcode entered and everything, if you unplug before the phone is booted, the battery meter doesn't seem to calibrate properly and wont know how long you have been on battery power

also get a good 5 volt / 500 mA USB charger to make sure you dont end up fast charging your battery with high current for nothing

since you are most likely leaving it plugged in overnight anyway and ends with float charging, which might degrade the battery faster

you forgot to mention having power saver enabled 24/7, solid B troll though

facebook and some other apps do some real scammy poo poo to try to keep iOS running them in the background instead of suspending them. IIRC one thing FB app was caught doing was setting up geofences so that every time you moved far enough the app would get woken up in the background (meant for mapping apps and poo poo).

also apps like Facebook use iOS’ background app refresh, which wakes the app up every X minutes so that it can pull down the latest posts or whatever in the background, so the app has the latest ContentTM ready to go when you open it. you can disable this entirely or on per-app basis in settings.

honestly, if you have to use a given social media platform, try to use the mobile website instead of the app if you can, since they’re heavily incentivized to have their apps do all kinds of bullshit that should get them kicked off the App Store (but doesn’t).

it’s the “action” button, not the “share” button. some sharing options are in there once you hit it, but the button style is UIActionButton.
