    I've just released Burst for reddit - my fake news & filter bubble busting reddit app

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 04:19 AM PDT

    Hi everyone!

    With filter bubbles and fake news becoming more and more of a problem, I've been working on a solution for reddit. And what do you know, I've just released it for iPhone!

    It works like this: for every post in your feed, Burst finds everywhere it's been reposted across every subreddit. The comments from all those duplicate posts are merged together into a single comment stream.

    That means that for political posts like news stories, you'll see the comments from r/politics, r/liberal, r/conservative and everywhere else it's posted. That way you're seeing a little taste from those other subreddits to help you get a feel for how other people are reacting to the same story. In my own use of Burst while testing, I've found that even though I see a lot more stuff I don't agree with, seeing it helps me at least empathise with other perspectives. I'm hoping that this kind of approach will help tone down some of the more toxic aspects of political discussion online.

    Outside of political stuff, this mechanic turns out to be super helpful for everyday posts. For example, a post about the new iPhone might be posted to r/iphone, r/apple, r/technology, and maybe even r/android. At the end of the day, they're all pretty similar communities so getting all those comments in one place makes it feel like you're getting a more "complete" version of reddit. Whenever I switch back to another reddit app I now feel like I might be missing something.

    Anyway, that's the basic rundown. I'd love to hear any feedback you have!

    5 awesome new iPhone features in iOS 11.3 that no one is talking about

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:01 AM PDT

    Discussion, Do you miss the headphone jack? Why/ why not?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 07:14 AM PDT

    Me personally I don't cause wireless just works for me And I've never even used the Lighting headphones which is included with the phone.

    Improved AR stability & fidelity in ARKit 1.5, iOS 11.3 (device on the right)

    Lower your iPhone screen brightness more than normal. Probably the best 'hack' I've come across for my iPhone X

    4 months on no Apple Pay cash outside US

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 02:58 AM PDT

    I'm guessing we're out of luck until? iOS 12 now given time of year.

    Never understand this seemly unexplained delays. Apple Pay is available in loads of places now, process can't be that different so normal payments so why can't Apple get it out there?

    Has there been any kind of announcement or insight on the delay?

    Picked up the new Bright Orange leather case today!

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 06:42 PM PDT

    Electric blue leather Apple case is awesome!

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:46 AM PDT

    Do yourself a favor. If you like blue, pick this up! It's a bright blue but not neon or anything like the word "electric" would imply. It is simply gorgeous against a black iPhone X. They probably won't last long so don't regret it later like I usually do.

    Did 11.3 fix the ‘out of order’ messages issue?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:18 AM PDT

    I haven't seen this reported yet, and was wondering if it had been resolved by 11.3.

    Considering moving up from my iPhone 5, looking for advice

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:52 AM PDT

    Hi I wasn't sure if this was the right place, apologies if not. I've had a standard iPhone 5 since it came out, love the 64GB size and having phone/lightning jack. However since iOS 11 doesn't work I'm getting more and more apps that no longer have compatible updates. I'm thinking about upgrading but I have zero interest in the features vs cost of the X. The 8 is interesting with the wireless charge but I'm trying to get a better idea of if it's really worth it over the 7. Waterproof definitely is a big plus, losing the stereo jack is rather annoying because I'm usually charging while on a headset for work (travel all the time). Since 7 and up all have only the lightning how do you easily manage that situation? Any other really compelling reasons to go to 8 instead of 7 (I'm skipping 6 entirely so it's a few years before I lose iOS compatibility while waiting for a future phone with more than the face recognition in X). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    [HELP] Noticed that my iPhone X gives a static or distorted sound on the front speaker at full volume.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:21 AM PDT

    I guess this has been a issue since a week after the phone launched. I bought an iPhone X and it had a lot of hardware issues and I got a replacement from Apple. Now the replacement piece has this issue of noisy sound when I play music or any media at maximum volume and it's really prominent when I close the bottom speaker with my finger and listen to the front facing speaker. Also, I've noticed that the in call volume has reduced a little bit. Surprisingly, I've had the same issue with my previous iPhone 6S. Anyone else has this issue? What was your POA? Help me through this issue.

    Thanks in advance.

    Silicone case alternatives?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2018 07:36 PM PDT

    I really like the apple silicone cases because of the grip they provide and bc they dont add any bulk to the phone.. however i really dislike that the bottom part of the phone remains exposed, like if you see it facing upwards you can see how only 3/4 of the phone is covered. Any other cases that are almost the same as the apple ones but completely cover the bottom part?

    edit: this is the perfect example of what im talking about

    Offline games

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 10:09 AM PDT

    Hi all, I'm generally I'm a train or bussing though areas with poor or slow cell data service so I like to play offline games on my iPhone. I've been playing a whole lot of solitaire as a result but I'm looking for some new games that would work in airplane mode. Any suggestions?

    I also have an absolute hate of games that show a 30 second ad when you want to retry the infinite run even when airplane mode is on.. perhaps only games without this sort of advertising?

    Carrier update when abroad or on different Sim

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 10:07 AM PDT

    I live and work in Saudi Arabia and just a few days back FaceTime appeared after a carrier update from local provider. Now I have a phone in my home country, with blocked FaceTime, but it's using a local sim there. Anyone has an idea how to push this activation of FaceTime on that phone without bringing it back to Saudi Arabia?

    My iPhone X is making a high pitched chirp / buzz noise.

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:59 AM PDT

    I powered down my phone and I think it still made the noise... I don't really know what to do. Any suggestions?

    I am planning to buy an iPhone X, but not sure yet

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:55 AM PDT

    My iPhone 6 has battery issues and I want to switch it to something new. Should I go for the long wait until the release of the iPhone Xs, because i am afraid something else like the 6 and 6s will happen, where there were several new features added (like force touch for example).

    Link preview in Safari?

    Posted: 31 Mar 2018 09:46 AM PDT

    I've noticed that sometimes when I tap and hold on a link in order to open it in a new tab, sometimes a small preview window will open up and fully display the destination link. This is an awesome feature but I have no idea how intentionally trigger it. Thanks for the help!
