Choadmaster posted:It was quite unequivocally clear. Reading comprehension is low here sometimes. Bought a Zagg glass protector for the iPhone 6. I don't normally go with a protector, but I figured I'd give it a shot since it was glass. I think it's pretty awful. They very clearly made it based on the screen size before the dimensions of the phone were actually released, because it's literally just wide enough to cover the screen, does not touch the side bezels at all, and is short on the top/bottom bezel.

Haggins posted:Yeah for sure. People seem to forget that the original iPhone didn't do much either. I think the main reason it took off is that it had a reliable browser that was easy to use and could load almost any webpage. That and it didn't constantly crash like every other smart phone at the time. Partly, yes. I think it's biggest accomplishment was treating the phone experience as its own unique thing instead of trying to make it a small computer like WinMo and Palm had been doing, likely just as an extension of the PDA philosophy of being a "productivity" device first and entertainment/leisure device second. Edit: To be clear, anyone trying to argue that Android Wear on iOS is anywhere close to the functionality of the Apple Watch on iOS is bonkers. Google will always be limited in how functional Wear can be on iOS, but it's nice to see them at least try.

I had a 6, gave it to a friend, bought a 6+, then eventually swapped with that friend to go back to the 6. The 6+ was just too unwieldy, and the benefits didn't outweigh that in my use case.

Fine whatever, I get that the phone isn't in perfect condition but maybe you should have asked about that before giving me a quote. Even aside from that, it's not that the phone "isn't in perfect condition" it's that it's literally developing a condition that could end with an exploding battery. No company is going to give you money for that phone if they catch a swelling battery. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Jun 18, 2016 |

xzzy posted:They only ask if the screen is in good condition and specifically state "normal wear is okay". They only ask if the battery holds a charge. The website only offers checkboxes and there's no text fields. Battery swelling is super common for the 5/5s generations and they probably deal with thousands of them a month. I don't think it's unreasonable that they be upfront about what they do in that case. Screen discoloration due to swelling components isn't "normal wear", that's why I called that out. If my screen is discolored, I don't consider that to be in good condition.

There is only "forget this network" which is bad obviously. What I quoted said iOS would "nag the gently caress out of you" if WiFi is off. I'm assuming that's the popups to join a network, which'll stop if that's toggled.

Krispy Kareem posted:Wait, were they the buds or the pods? The buds never worked for me, but I've never found in-ear headphones that fit better than Apple EarPods. I've probably bought a dozen pairs over the years (cheap surplus stock online, not full price). Yeah, I'm not sure I've found anyone who's enjoyed the fit of those. They don't fall out of my ears, but they're not comfortable to wear for a long period of time. I was initially high on the wireless EarPods, but man. Thinking about it, it's $150 for... wireless versions of the standard, not great sounding Apple pack-in buds. While I know you can't understate the convenience, that's a lot to ask for what's ultimately subpar fit (for me) and subpar audio quality.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda coming around on the idea of the AirPods. I just picked up a 7 Plus and have been giving the Lightning EarPods a second chance, and they're not terrible. They fit well enough, and let just enough sound in that I feel aware of my surroundings when I'm walking outdoors. Sound quality isn't outstanding, but it's certainly good enough for the casual listening at the office I do 90% of the time.

After being pleasantly surprised by the Lightning EarPods, I was planning on picking up a pair of AirPods 'til I got some other wireless headphones for Christmas. I don't know if they've done anything to improve the EarPods sound quality since launch, but they sounded better than I remembered.

As someone who is not an audiophile, I enjoy my Solo 3s. They're not as overboard with the bass as previous on-ear Beats I'd heard, but nothing out of this world. The killer feature, though, is the battery life. I don't really know what sort of magic they use, but with mixed wired/wireless use for a majority of my work week, I've only had to charge these three times since early January, which is insane. They're comfortable, last forever on a charge, and sound fine, and that's worth it for me. e: I'm also never listening to anything other than 320kbps MP3s (at best) via my iPhone, iPad or laptop, and it's never a situation where I'm sitting down and really need peak quality, just something where it's not going to sound like compressed rear end. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Apr 17, 2017 |

Glazier posted:From what I can see it's gone in control center, but is there in individual apps and the generic video player. My assumption is they are going to go all in on the W1 and automatic switching going forward, and this is their way of getting people weaned off that kind of manual control. Force press the music controls, tap the AirPlay icon, choose the output.

For the record the apps that are now saying I haven't paid for them are NBA Jam, Icewind Dale, X-Men, Dark Quest and Rain Pro. Could be they were actually purchased using someone else's Apple ID.

As a resident Hotsauce Jr., my experience with Google Photos on iOS has been nearly seamless, and for me it seems to do the basics in a much smoother way (ie. photo sharing, search, recognition, etc.) than Apple Photos does. Everyone has different requirements, but I think Google Photos is seriously great. e: Also gently caress Siri, for real. In my experience, it's complete dogshit at figuring out context from what I ask and Google Assistant is 100x better at that on Android. I asked Siri for directions to a restaurant called Bigalora so I didn't have to take my eyes off the road, and it tried to send me to Biga Laura in Maryland or something. Google Maps voice search was able to figure out there was a place called Bigalora relatively close and got me directions. Also it should be able to figure out that if I ask for "American House in <City>" that I want the place it has labelled as "American House Senior Living of <City>" instead of giving me a giant list of American House locations in other cities. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Weedle posted:It's disabled, not removed. "Re-downloading" it from the App Store is instantaneous. That might be changed in iOS 11 now. I went to redownload the Watch app and it actually took more than 0 seconds. Also, major updates being available on release day doesn't actually mean much when we're talking about updating specific apps. It'd be a good thing if Apple were able to release a new revision of the Watch app so they don't have to issue an entire point release if they release a watch with new features, etc.

wooger posted:Protube doesn't interfere with another app, it doesn't require the YouTube app to be installed and doesn't change the way it works at all. It's "the same" despite the mobile YouTube site preventing people from playing videos in the background. YouTube Red changes the way the YouTube app works. The "interference" is that ProTube replicates features that would otherwise cost money via a subscription, I didn't think that part was that difficult to understand. Doesn't matter whether you or I think it's bullshit or you can come up with some pedantic interpretation of "doesn't change the way it works" when it's not that complicated to understand. "Other things let you work around the subscription, too" isn't going to matter to Google or Apple, if their goal is to stop things from circumventing paid services/apps. Google's intention is that ad-free YouTube videos playing in the background on mobile are a part of a subscription service, and a significant part of ProTube's market is people looking to avoid paying that monthly subscription, therefore Google (and possibly Apple) take issue with that. e: And if Reddit, SA, Twitter, etc. wanted to say "nope this isn't okay" anymore, they could. Just like YouTube did, and part of the reason you don't see many third-party YouTube apps and why the ProTube developer has had to repeatedly work around changes to YT to keep ad-free PIP viewing working. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Sep 3, 2017 |
