| Apple Music needs to have a separate section for EP’s and Singles. Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:08 AM PST Honestly, Calling a 2 track single an Album is very annoying. Why is it so hard to create a new category for Singles and EP's? EDIT: Please everyone if you agree with what I'm saying please let Apple know here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/apple-music.html [link] [comments]  |

| Watch out for this sophisticated scam... Posted: 19 Jan 2018 04:51 PM PST The other day I had my iPhone X stolen. It was a little sad but at the end of the day it's just a phone, right? I wasn't really worried about my data or anything because everything that I wanted is backed up to iCloud every day and they wouldn't be able to unlock the phone without my face or code, so I really wasn't too worried. Even though iOS' security and iCloud's features bring me a lot of peace, I still put it in Lost Mode. I did that maybe 10 minutes after it was gone, but it still says it was pending. So the thieves must have been "smart" enough to turn it off, right? I understand that they can turn it off and restore it but it will be blocked with Apple's Activation Lock. That also made me a little happier knowing they couldn't get the complete satisfaction they wanted from such a dishonest thing to do. I really had moved on until a few days later (yesterday) I started getting text messages on my phone (same number that the X had). It was from an American number with a 925 area code and it mentioned my phone's exact name. I am assuming they got the number from the phone (using Siri?) and the device name from iTunes. They conveniently provided a link to view the location of the device and signed their text message as Apple Support. Looking at the link, I could tell that it was a fake right away (it wasn't apple.com or even a .com domain) but it made me think that they were actually pretty clever! They would get you to go to their phishing website to give them your AppleID and login in order to disable the activation lock! Pretty clever for a thief... Anyway, today I actually received a call from someone claiming to be Apple Support and I didn't really even listen but instead just hung up. Just wanted to share this in case it happens to you! tl;dr I lost my iPhone X and they retrieved the device name and my phone number from the phone and tried to phish my Apple ID to disable the activation lock.

| Are we ever gonna get true live wallpapers? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 08:38 PM PST This is the only thing that I am truly envious of Android for. Why doesn't Apple want to support decent live wallpapers like everyone else does?? I would really love to have a cinemagraph as my wallpaper in a high definition. Just a subtle movement that brings well needed life to my lock screen. The current cop out for Apple is their stupid Live Photos. You can rarely find a decent one with good resolution online and even then the stuttery movement when you activate it is awful. Don't even think about making your own because the same problems arrive! This is the only thing I want Apple! Please make it become a reality. Live wallpapers would be so great for everyone!

| iOS 11 now installed on 65% of iOS devices Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:39 AM PST A bit slow compared to other years, but still growing at a steady pace. Great for developers and users alike. A developer can easily develop apps knowing that they can target 93% of the user base with iOS 10 and up. [link] [comments]  |

| What do you think Apple will do now that it owns Shazam ? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 01:23 PM PST Since Siri already had Shazam integration to recognize songs, what features could Apple implements on new software updates (iOS 12 and beyond) or hardware such as the HomePod ? IMO: Apple won't drop support for other Android, Google Pixel 2, but could make features exclusively for its ecosystem and expand Shazam's services. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2018 06:19 AM PST Hi /r/apple, My girlfriend and I went yesterday to get our iPhone batteries replaced, and we experienced almost polar opposite customer service experiences. While we both had to wait about an hour past our appointment time to be helped due to it being busy, everything else was vastly different. For me, I checked it, waited 40-ish minutes, and then was called back to the genius table, where I then waited another 20 minutes. I was then greeted by the genius who took my phone, input the data apple needed onto his iPad, and told me that I could come back tomorrow to get the phone, since it was the evening and due to their load, it would not be done until the morning. All while having pleasant small talk with the genius. Very much what I would expect of the apple in-store experience, quick (once I actually got to see a genius) and professional. My girlfriend, on the other hand, had a very negative experience. Firstly, lets call her "Jane Doe", but her name is actually noticeably foreign and somewhat hard to pronounce. When she arrived, she went to the check in rep and told him her name was "Jane". He then said he had no record of her appointment in the system. She then tells him her last name "Doe", same result. She asks if he could try by first name and spells out her name "J-A-N-E" (her real name is only 6 letters), and he says he still can't find her. She's standing beside him and glances over at him, and sees her name on the list and tries to point it out to him, but he says she'll need to go see a supervisor to get it sorted out. Now the thing to note about her iPhone 6 is that the battery is so degraded it cannot do simple tasks, like open the camera, apps, and sometimes even the web browser, because the power spike goes over the batteries available voltage. So she tries to load her email on her phone to show the genius confirmation, but because her battery is so bad, she cannot open the browser for the supervisor, so she has to come and get my phone to open her email. She shows them her confirmation email, and suddenly (!!!) shes back in the system and checked in for her appointment. She then waits about the same amount of time as me (40ish minutes to see genius, another 20 to see genius once at table), although she was at a different table then myself. What happens next is almost one of the most un-apple like service experiences I've ever seen. She sits down and the tech runs some diagnostics on her phone, then says "your battery is in perfect operating condition, there's no reason for you to be here. You're battery should actually be good until January of next year". My girlfriend starts explaining how her apps won't open at all in some cases and the genius responds that its caused "by a botched iOS update, and she'll need to hard reset her phone and it should solve the issue". Now my girlfriend is not tech savvy at all, so she asks the Genius if he can walk her through the reset process. He replies "Oh its easy, you don't need me for that, you can do it at home". She indicates she doesn't feel comfortable doing it herself and he replies "its super easy, anyone can do it. just google it when you get home", then he told her they were done and she could leave. I thought apple was supposed to be one of the best customer support experiences around. I don't think someone who waited an hour to see a genius should be shoo'd away after a few minutes and told to fix the issue themselves. Furthermore, I thought that the $29.99 battery replacement was for all out of warranty phones, so simply by her requesting it it would be performed? I didn't think there was a pre-requesite that the battery had to be below a certain threshold. There were two customers before me at my table who both were having iphone 6 battery replacements where I overheard the full exchanges, and it no point did the genius at my table go over their battery results with them, she just heard they wanted them replaced and and took their phones and put the work order in. My question is what should our next steps be? Should we just get her a second appointment and not mention the first one at all? Maybe have me stay at her side the whole time and they'll treat her more seriously, as sexist as that sounds? Is filing a complaint something we should be considering, and if so, with who? Because in my opinion, the level of service she received was quite simply unacceptable. If anyone else has had negative genius experiences, I would love to hear your stories and what steps you took to get the issue resolved. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is the mail icon is macOS still a stamp with a bird? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 02:18 PM PST I was just looking at this the other day and I am curious why they have never changed it to the simple mail icon that iOS has? I think all of the other major app icons resemble their iOS counterparts, just not mail. Personally I would like to see the mail app take some of the visual cues from the iOS app but changing the icon would be a welcome start. [link] [comments]  |
| Apple's patch up job for the macOS root security issue Posted: 20 Jan 2018 01:02 AM PST It turns out that when you type in root, click in the password field and leave it blank, Apple's fix was just to pop another identical window up on top of it.

| Loot box drop rates requirement not filled Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:31 AM PST There are a number of games on the App Store which I play which have loot box systems. The problem is that they have not released their drop rates regardless of the fact it is required by Apple. Is there a place I can report these games? (The games I have in mind are clash royale and brawl stars, both by supercell. I have pestered supercell to no end and gotten "too bad" as an answer) [link] [comments]  |

| Just got my AirPods, where do y’all keep the case? Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:53 PM PST Just picked up my AirPods from BestBuy... I will mainly be using them for a school and I have no idea where I'm going to keep the case. I'm scared they'll fall out of my pocket, I'm scared they'll get stolen in my backpack or possibly get scratched by my keys or just some other stuff like that. I'm pretty paranoid about losing them and what not so I'd love to hear what you guys have to say. Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| $329 + Tax & Shipping for Iphone 6S Plus Battery Replacement by Mail (Instead of $29) Posted: 19 Jan 2018 12:31 PM PST Anyone else showing more than $329.00 for a battery replacement on an Iphone 6s Plus? Picture here: https://imgur.com/a/vtT6l That $29 website shows 2 options. Send it in for repair or schedule a repair. I don't live next to anywhere, and am not currently using the iphone(using samsung with extra batteries that can swap out) and it is specifically because of my terrible iphone battery life that I am not using it. So I thought, what a great chance to start using my iphone again. I have never done a repair before with apple, and the phone was purchased brand new paid in full. When I sign in and select my phone, they are giving me.. a really high price. All I did was click the Option 1 to Mail it. Sign in. Choose my phone. And this is the price: iPhone 6s Plus Change Serial: •••••••GSRXC United States Change Battery replacement Change Repair Estimate We can do an out-of-warranty repair, which will take 5-9 business days. Here's an estimate: $329.00 Tax and shipping will be calculated in the next step. [link] [comments]  |
