I can’t wrap my head around the settings for the Mail app. I reverted it to the list setting instead of the promotions, all Mail etc, tabs. But somehow in the shuffle I messed things up where before I used to swipe from right to left on a message and it would archive it, and if I swiped left to right it would mark it as unread. I fiddled around with the settings and could only figure out how to get it to now have move to trash on a left > right swipe, and both the mark as unread, and archive on the right > left swipe.

Is there a technical reason that Send Later in Messages is limited to other iPhone users? I don't have the option when testing green bubbles, which seems weird to me. Why does it matter who I'm sending to?

(I'm one of those people that get up at 5am and start working, so I end up relying on SL a LOT to not look like an insane person)

Why the hell are you associating with green bubbles?

I’ve never used it but does Send Later still send the message if you’ve not got service at the time it is due to send?

If it does, then I imagine the reason you can’t use it when sending SMS is because your message is essentially being sent immediately but held in escrow on Apple’s iMessage servers until the delivery time, rather than your phone waking up and sending the message at the due time. Apple can hold your iMessage messages because it’s their own service but SMS isn’t so it’s not available.

If it doesn’t send if you’ve not got service at the due time then Apple just being Apple I guess!

It's that.

Exchange and other similar services have the same scheduled send feature and that's how it works. It's stored in the cloud, not sitting on your device waiting to go.

When I had Android it stored it on the device and would only send if I had data. If not, it would send when it did. I preferred that way as it felt more natural.

any harm in charging a phone off a macbook pro charger now that it's an option? i'm assuming they're set up to control the wattage?

The phone will negotiate an higher power budget than the stock charger, which might eventually wear the battery over time a bit more if you don’t stick to regular charging schedules that trigger the optimized charge mode. Nothing lethal but something to be aware of in a years timeframe scenario.

While higher than stock, it’s still within its designed charging rates, in case the wording spooked OP at all. Like hooking up to whatever super high power computer charger will negotiate power down to the same as whatever faster than stock phone charger.

just got an iphone 16 to replace my 12 ... but i really dont' see any real performance improvements as i never had any issues with my old phone. camera seems v nice tho.
Same, I wanted more storage and five years has been my target for iPhones since inception.

I'm here, because I had a fairly flawless 12 Pro --> 16 Pro auto-migration dealy, yesterday, used the phone with all my old settings, then just about an hour ago I decided to turn on Apple Intelligence, and I taught Siri my voice for the first time, and now in general (home screen), my activation button for Siri brings up the amorphous cosmic globule animation, and Siri doesn't do anything. In Messages.app, STT not happening either. I went to three or four threads Apple communities and some Reddit posts about some issues like this, (going back to earlier versions of iOS 18), and followed steps. And unticking selections/re-enabling and power-cycling. No difference.

Anybody know what I did...? I had heard that AppIntel was not good, but this is flummoxing. I don't know what setting could be ignoring me. I do remember that when I first pressed the button, and tried to call somebody in my contacts, it wanted me to turn on Location Services, but that makes no sense to me. It has to be not seeing something obvious (somewhere).

Now I await the wisdom of goons.... or go back to my pretty much fine iPhone 12 Pro.

edit: I turned off Apple IntelliMush, and then I just needed to wait an hour or so, and the hive mind trickled down from the interwebs and made it all better, I guess.

You're correct. USB-C is designed such that both ends have to negotiate the appropriate power to use. The phone will charge at its maximum rate off the MBP charger, but it's designed to do that. The worst that will happen is it will wear a little faster.

Generally speaking, it's not impossible. You should ask your lawyer about the mechanics. (You are going to need a lawyer.)

Phone carrier cannot provide content of text messages, but with a court order can provide time and date of messages sent. Also, get a lawyer and good luck to say the least.

To play devil's advocate for a second, it wouldn't make much sense to have punitive tariffs on one of the most successful American companies while letting the Korean company waltz in.

I am confused about the Verizon send through satellite with an Iphone16 Pro.

My wife is with a Scout group getting their wood badge and that has placed them into the mountains of absolute nowhere Alabama. It gives me the option to send a message with satellite but I was looking online to see if there was a charge and the Verizon webpage said that only Android phones are able to do this.

Are Iphone16 Pros able to send it or do they charge extra for it?

For iPhone the satellite service goes through Apple. I don’t know 100%, but I believe all the Verizon satellite service advertising at the moment is android focused, and I think they’re kind of just lumping Apple in since Apple offers free satellite for now.

Bit of guesswork on my part.

Imo, I can’t see them charging separate for satellite , whether it be Verizon or Apple. It’s such a niche use, and to add to it it’s a niche use where when you use it, you might be in a legit bad situation, so I can’t see them blocking satellite usage because someone doesn’t pay and then they die.

It’s much easier as a marketing “hey this is included in your plan” even though prob 98% of users will never use it or need it.


I’ll take it btw, but it does seem to be mostly hype, with some reasonable use cases like yours.

iOS has supported ad blockers for a while.

As for jailbreaking, I guess there's still people that do it, but to be totally honest it's a great way to compromise your phone's security. I cannot recommend it.

You can also run something like NextDNS to do dns level ad filtering. I’m not sure if iOS lets apps specify their own DNS server but even if so I’d imagine most don’t bother.

The only way to block ads outside of safari is a filtered DNS server like NextDNS or PiHole

Content blockers work in safari like a traditional browser extension. If you want something that works with Firefox you’ll need a system-wide content blocker, usually using some DNS tricks. AdGuard or NextDNS are my gotos.

All browsers on iOS are built on webkit, i.e. they're all safari clones. That's why you can't install individual add-ons to them for adblocking, etc.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but even DNS adblockers can't block in-app sponsored posts/stories/ads in social apps like Instagram or Tiktok. Using those services from Safari/web app with an adblocker does a better job about it, but it's worth mentioning.

Edit: Orion for iOS technically allows you to install Chrome or Firefox extensions, but I just use Safari due how many great extensions there already are for it.

I don't really use Safari much on my desktop but vastly prefer it over the others on iOS. I don't really want my history synced to the cloud so I don't need the syncing features.

yeah, if the ad is served from the same domain as the rest of the page then DNS blocking can't save you

this is why i much prefer to use the internet on my computer : ) i'll look at nextdns tho, ty friends

edit: is it surprising apple allows nextdns (or things like adguard) given it's mainly used for ad blocking? given they disallow ublock origin

I could be very wrong but I’m under the impression that the lack of extensions like ublock origin is nothing to do with Apple having something against ad blocking itself but rather that they have issue with the level of access to the browser that an extension of that sort requires. Instead, they provide an API specifically for content blocking that ad blocking extensions such as Wipr use, rather than giving extensions the keys to the kingdom. If they had something against ad blocking specifically then why provide the content blocking API at all? Of course you could take the cynical view that this is purely so they can serve ads that their provided API can’t do anything about!
