bobfather posted:Friendly Cool, I'm gonna try this. I just migrated back over from android and the app I miss most is Tinfoil for Facebook. Why is Facebook's app always worse than their mobile website? As an aside, shouldn't setting Facebook to never be able to use location services stop background queries?

bobfather posted:Sure, it should. But Facebook is also the company that once updated Facebook.app to run as a voip service on iOS. Running this way meant it could keep itself active and running for like 10 minutes after the phone was locked. Facebook got to siphon more data from its users, and users had their phone batteries die twice as quickly. Never trust "free" services. "Too big to be classified as malware" is the "too big to fail" of the technology industry.

I'd assume the recommendation would be to buy a locked iPhone SE from whichever prepaid carrier is selling them for $160 at the moment, though that probably precludes ever using it as a telephone unless you're already on that network, and you won't find as steep of a discount if you want more than 32gb storage. e: lol I guess this is US-specific

Am I missing something? If you swipe up from the bottom and accidentally touch the brightness slider, is there a way to turn auto-brightness back on aside from going into the display settings and toggling it?

BGrifter posted:Of course not. If they did they'd have Jony Ive talking about the beautiful cutting edge plastuminium that Apple "invented" and how it's the most beautiful substance in this dimension. Has anyone made a smartphone with a carbon fiber body yet? It works well enough on my dell latitude and it would be yet another justification for $$$$ phone pricing.

The new control center thing is pretty meh. I thought you’d be able to rearrange poo poo, based on the screenshots. I just added a low power mode toggle and all it did was add on mostly blank row on the bottom. I don’t want or need another three items from that list

I bought one of those 4 for $10 no-name lightning cable packs on Amazon, and the two or three I tried all just failed almost immediately and stopped charging. No explosions. I also one time inadvertently used a friend’s cable that had been chewed through by their damned cat and it made my phone reboot.

Android vendors would have to actually issue firmware updates beyond six months in order to ~conspire~ to slow your old phone down.

You could sync music to an iPhone from Linux back when the 3G was new. The developers weren’t able to keep up with proprietary protocol changes every time iOS or iTunes had an update and afaik it hasn’t worked since. It was pretty much unusably slow, to the point where I queued poo poo up to copy overnight, but I sure felt like I was sticking it to whitey.

Krispy Wafer posted:but is there a reason why they’ve never put anything like 3D Touch on their phones. They’d basically have to fork android and modify everything in the UI to add 3D Touch, and it would inevitably end up half-assed and useless, especially since very few apps would pick up a new feature for one goddamn phone out of hundreds on the market.

Kill app, launch it again.  Touch ID does the same thing if you accidentally swat down the touch prompt and it is really goddamn annoying.

See, that’s why I won’t buy $150 earbuds. Not because it’s too much money per se, but because it is just enough money that the question of whether to continue using them after they had passed through my cat’s digestive tract would give me pause.

I’d assume you’d have to eat things yourself instead of feeding them to your cat. But maybe you meant that YouTube celebrities should be categorized as animals and stripped of their human rights, which is an excellent idea

Kiranamos posted:You guys put screen protectors on? Searching amazon just gives like 10 companies selling what I can only imagine is the exact same thing at randomly different prices. This is for the xs max, if it matters. I've bought from like three different vendors* that had a lot of mostly-positive reviews on amazon and haven't noticed any real difference after the fucker was on. IIRC Spigen was the "nicest" brand I bought and it didn't come with extra stickers to help align the protector. *all for older models, not current gen
