    FaceTime calls should have an option to answer through FaceTime audio.

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:03 PM PST

    In case you're in a situation where answering a FaceTime looks both obnoxious and awkward. Instead of just ignoring it and having to either text the person or call them normally.

    control center on lock screen with a case is pretty ingenious

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:51 PM PST

    Was going back and forth to my music frequently when stumbled across this little gem with ios11 on an ipad. I often look around for little tricks like this and hadn't seen this before so thought i'd share.

    For clarification, i'm still swiping up to get to the control center, it's not showing up automatically

    PSA: Taking a lost iPhone to an Apple Store WILL NOT get it returned

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:10 PM PST

    Hey y'all. Recently I've been seeing so many comments in "lost my iDevice" posts spreading misinformation. Taking a lost iPhone to Apple will not get it back to the owner. Although they likely have a way to associate a device to a particular customer, they will not give the customer's information to you. If you give it to a person at an Apple Store they will likely just recycle the device.


    Things you can do to actually help:

    1. Ask Siri "Who's phone is this"
    2. Ask Siri to "call/text mom" or another family member
    3. Keep the phone charged. The owner might call from another phone.
    4. Write a note that says something like: Email / call me at "xyz" and take a picture of it using their phone. To do this, swipe left to access their camera. If they access their iCloud gallery by chance, they'll see your note.
    5. Swipe right. Look at whatever information is on their screen and see if you can find any identifying information on the apps displayed. Usernames or what have you.
    6. Swipe down to look at Notification Center. Look for identifying information here too.
    7. If they have a case, take it off. See if the owner has left their contact info. (Thanks /u/robotsmakinglove)

    (Thanks to /u/spattering for the tips from this comment)


    That's it. Hope everyone reading has a wonderful day.

    Anyone else find themselves tapping on the side of a video to skip ahead like you would in the YouTube app?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:04 AM PST

    I really wish Apple implemented this into their gestures for iOS. It's so much easier than the current solution. To be clear, I'm happy Apple finally released a solution, but this one seems so much better.

    Niantic's 'Pokemon Go' to go iOS 11-only in late February

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:11 PM PST

    There is no version of iOS signed at all for the iPad 1,2,3, and Mini, iPod Touch 3 and 5, and the iPhone 4S.

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:42 PM PST

    Apple just unsigned iOS 9.3.5 and iOS 5.1.1 for all of the devices above.

    Check IPSW.me

    It's no IPSW.me bug either. If you try it for yourself in iTunes, it will fail. There is currently no way to restore any of the devices above.

    Apple says battery supply constrained, expect replacement in April

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:31 AM PST

    Last week I went in to an Apple store have my iPhone 6+ battery replaced. I was actually just about to buy an iFixit kit right before Apple announced the lower replacement cost, so my timing seemed lucky and to Apple I went.

    I thought I would be somewhat beating the mainstream rush as I think I went on the 4th. Incorrect. Lots of people there doing the same and they were 20+ minutes late on my appointment.

    I was a little frustrated by the Genius helping me. He seemed to be pushing for me to not replace the battery and commented how old my phone was and why my plan was for keeping it. He tested my battery and said I was at 83% capacity. I explained I was surprised by that given the terrible performance lately, mostly the battery dropping 20+% in very short periods with no use. There is no doubt the battery is not performing anywhere near its original performance. He was receptive but went on to explain how a changed battery won't increase performance and a new battery can't reverse the "wear and tear on all the other components". This felt like an odd explanation meant for someone else that doesn't understand computer components. He should have just said current day software has higher hardware demands instead of incorrectly making it sound like my CPU's ability to fetch from memory deteriorates each day with each call. I disagree with his assessment but politely said okay, but I would still like to pay to replace the battery purely on the merits of better battery performance, not compute performance. He agreed and put in an order since they were out of stock. At the time they expected stock by end of January.

    Anyway, I say all this to give the general feeling and vibe I have gotten from Apple through this process.

    I just now received a message from Apple saying that the "battery supply is constrained" and "expect a call in April for the replacement". Has anyone else received this call? April is a total surprise and I'm now leaning towards just doing it myself. I can't help but wonder if either they are prioritizing people testing below 80% ahead of me. Or perhaps it's just a super conservative estimate. I do not know. But this whole process has been the least Apple like experience I've ever had with Apple.

    Anyone else find the new iOS11 scrubbing button almost impossible to grab?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:10 AM PST

    I consider myself reasonably dexterous, but it seems to have shrunk so much compared to the old version that I can't grab the button most of the time.

    [Friendly Reminder] Dont forget to take off your phone case/cover and clean the phone and the insides of the case if you haven’t done so in 2 weeks. (xpost r/iphone)

    I saw a lot of people complaining that their cases gave them scratches. It's because dust particles enter inside the thin space between the phone and the case and scratch up the phone. Particles like sand is higher in hardness scale compared to your phones metal or glass.

    Cleaning it regularly prevents this from happening. Have a nice day

    3D Touch Backspace Button

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:54 PM PST

    I just realized that if you have a phone with 3D Touch and you press harder on the backspace, it'll delete what you wrote faster.

    Or everyone knew all along and I'm missing something.
