    Apple should let us bypass phone calls while in the middle of something instead of declining the call

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 11:30 AM PDT

    It's not a huge issue by any means, but I can't tell you how many times I've been in the middle of a text or searching something when I've received a phone call and I'm forced to sit there for 30 seconds because I don't want the person calling to know I've declined their call. Apple should let us swipe away and continue what we were doing and let the phone call ring fully then go to voicemail. Or hey maybe you're already able to do that and I'm just not aware lol

    iMovie is now (finally) optimized for iPhone X

    Do you think 3D Touch is under utilized?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 09:03 AM PDT

    I think it's an awesome feature and i wish Apple would PUSH its use more because it really adds DEPTH to smart phone interaction.

    And it's a cool reminder to those who say Apple isn't innovative considering they pioneered 3D Touch.

    Apple should add a customizable control option to turn VPN on or off.

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 10:48 AM PDT

    VPN is growing more and more on iPhones and it would be so much more fluid to flip it on or off a whim through the control center. It gets annoying having to go into settings just to turn it on or off. Maybe you could use 3D Touch to change VPN providers, just a thought.

    Does 3D Touch in your iPhone lag after unlocking?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 09:59 PM PDT

    I've noticed this with my iPhone 8 Plus whenever I unlock it. If I immediately try to do a 3D touch on an app after unlocking, it interprets it as a long press. It's fine if I wait a little bit (such as in the time it takes to swipe to another screen) but it's a very noticeable lag. Has anyone else noticed this too?

    Latest Firefox for iOS Now Available with Tracking Protection by Default plus iPad Features

    Should we expect an Apple Pencil 2 with new iPad Pros this year?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 11:18 PM PDT

    What do people here think about an updated Pencil showing up with the rumored iPP redesign this year? I think there's a good chance of it considering new iPad now has Pencil support, so the Pros using a better Pencil might help justify the addition cost.

    Improvements I'd like to see:

    • Wireless charging while magnetically latched to iPP
    • Smaller to more closely match pen/cil size
    • W1/W2 chip pairing to be as seamless as AirPods
    • Eraser functionality
    • Haptics
    • Gestures/button/squeeze Pencil for additional actions
    • Higher-friction nibs for more paper-like writing experience
    • And ofc improved latency and pressure sensitivity is always a benefit

    Adding a few of these would improve the experience a lot I think. Any thoughts?

    iMovie 2.2.5

    How is it possible that iOS Mail STILL will only let you upload one photo at a time into an email?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 03:02 PM PDT

    It is absolutely beyond me that this has yet to change. I am aware that I can select multiple photos inside of Photos and them send them through/into an email draft. But why is it even necessary to have a work around for something that should be so intuitive and simple. I can do it in iMessage, I can do in Whatsapp etc. But inside of mail in iOS I have to tap and hold, select "Insert Photo and Video" and then select ONE picture, only to repeat the process again and again and again just to upload multiple photos. I just don't get it.
    How is that intuitive? How is that efficient?

    Safari on Mac - Ad Blockers Speed Test [OC]

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 08:14 AM PDT

    First of all, I have no connection whatsoever with any of the ad blocker developers. I badly wanted to know which was the fastest ad blocking solution available on the Mac, and couldn't find any recent tests on the web.

    Theverge.com average load time:

    • No ad blockers: 4,3s

    • 1Blocker: 3,58s

    • Adblock Plus: 7,74s

    • AdGuard: 2,95s

    • Ghostery: 2,09s

    • Ka-Block!: 1,93s

    • uBlock Origin: 2,55s

    • Wipr: 3,06s

    WINNER: Ka-Block! (55% decrease in page load speed), runner-up: Ghostery

    Hotnews.ro average load time:

    • No ad blockers: 6,17s

    • 1Blocker: 6,12s

    • Adblock Plus: 5,42s

    • AdGuard: 4,14s

    • Ghostery: 3,04s

    • Ka-Block!: 2,93s

    • uBlock Origin: 3,24s

    • Wipr: 4,17s

    WINNER: Ka-Block! (52% decrease in page load speed), runner-up: Ghostery

    NOTES

    • System and methodology: 2015 MacBook Pro Retina, MacOS High Sierra, Safari 11.1, high-speed WiFi connection, battery plugged in, no other open apps. For each website load I restarted the browser, opened a new private window, cleared the cache and entered Web Inspector, which shows page load time. I repeated this three times for each website/ad blocker combination and averaged page load speeds.

    • Wipr, Ka-Block! and 1Blocker are using the modern content blocking framework in Safari, which is faster and safer (these two content blockers do not require permission to read/transmit site content). Adblock Plus, AdGuard, Ghostery and uBlock Origin use the outdated ad blocking approach.

    • Strangely enough, theverge.com loads faster with no ad blockers than with Adblock Plus enabled.

    Edit: added AdGuard, as requested by /u/soramac

    Edit 2: added Ghostery, following /u/nowtvman's comment

    Edit 3: added 1Blocker, as requested by /u/ins4yn

    What are some of your favorite Productivity apps for Mac?

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 07:05 AM PDT

    I personally can't live without Spectacle. It allows you to resize and move windows with simple keyboard shortcuts.

    Also love Caffeine; this prevents the Mac from going to sleep. Disabled/enabled with one click.

    Apple Maps tries to route me to Chick-fila for lunch almost every weekday

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 09:23 AM PDT

    I don't know why but almost every weekday around lunch time, Apple Maps tries to route me to a specific Chickfila. I can't figure out why and how to stop it. I don't have anything on my calendar with that address.

    Help!

    edit: I never go there. I have a chickfila in my work cafeteria that I go to much more often and is much more convenient...

    Bellus3D brings its uncanny 3D selfies to the iPhone X

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 08:54 PM PDT

    I’d like to get a MacBook Pro but I’d basically keep in permanent desktop/clamshell mode. So it would be connected to the charger all the time. I am assuming this is ok with batteries these days? Anyone in a similar situation?

    Posted: 13 Apr 2018 12:17 AM PDT

    Anyone else use their MacBook always connected to an external monitor?

    I have no use for a laptop but don't have the space for an iMac either unfortunately.

    Contacts app in high sierra 10.13.3 not syncing new contacts from icloud

    Posted: 12 Apr 2018 04:38 PM PDT

    1

    Today i noticed that a few recent contacts ive saved on my iphone in the last few weeks are not in the contacts app on my Macbook pro. I noticed when having imessage convos with said people today that their numbers came up as phone numbers with no names in the messaging app on my macbook.

    They are successfully saved in my phone. When i go to my contacts on the icloud website they are there as well. It's just not getting synced to my macbook. I am logged into icloud on my macbook, contacts box is checked. It has all my contacts except for new ones for the last few weeks. Is there anyway to fix this?

    What can Apple add to the native workout app to make you use it?

    I use Strava but if Apple added advanced charts like heart rate zones, vo2 max and guided voice and coaching I would ditch Strava in a jiffy

    Posted: 13 Apr 2018 01:23 AM PDT

    Bit of a question he guys and girls

    So the other day I got an iPhone X ( yay) So after loading up from my iCloud account It kept asking for these other iCloud accounts I have no idea who they are or where they came from

    Is there a way to track this down to a finer detail to know where it's coming from to delete them? It's about 5 or 6 random accounts dunno if its from apps ?
