    Apple Says Inventory of All iPhone Replacement Batteries Now Available Without Delay

    Posted: 09 May 2018 11:58 AM PDT

    Apple Music is approaching three years old and it’s still lacking so much

    Posted: 09 May 2018 03:23 PM PDT

    Hear me out. It's been a decent service for the most part, and Siri integration is great, don't get me wrong. But I have about five major issues that have been so persistent I'm about to throw in the towel, and I can't imagine I'm the only one:

    • Offline downloading is a crap-shoot. Probably about 30% of the time I hit download/the iCloud icon, it doesn't do anything... the downloading circle starts only to immediately stop and show the iCloud icon again. Is it saved or not? I can't tell until it finally works three days later. I run into this a lot, surprisingly.

    • Shuffling is mind-numbingly stupid. I can't tell you how many times I shuffle a playlist and it only shuffles half the songs. Or I'll get in my car the next day and where it usually picks up where we left off, it suddenly only wants to play a handful of the songs. I was just listening to Post Malone's new album on shuffle and it decided only about 7-8 songs was enough before it started the exact same shuffle loop of said songs. This is probably my biggest issue since navigation is also not great within Apple Music, so when it happens it feels like a chore to go back and start over. On top of that, when going back to previous songs, it wasn't the same song that had just played (this has only happened a couple times).

    • Tying in to the previous complaint, when it finally does shuffle what I want it to, it will often repeat songs before playing all the songs.

    • Music I had purchased and physically on my phone before Apple Music was even a thing is suddenly not available when I don't have internet. I can download it from Apple Music, but it's not physically on my phone anymore. I was traveling once and only realized this when it wouldn't play music I had on my phone for years once I lost connection. I have a big music library, so there is probably still music that I used to have saved to physical storage that isn't yet downloaded for offline because I haven't noticed. I shouldn't have to do this to begin with.

    • Pre-saving unreleased music is bad. Really bad. I once saved an album that had only 4 singles out at the time, with the rest of the album "available for download," having the rest of the tracks grayed out. Standard stuff. You would think that when the album came out it would download the rest of the songs and I would be good to go. Nope. The album came out, and I still, to this day, have a pre-release album saved instead of the actual full album. I click the album and those same 4 songs are available with the rest grayed out. I have to actually go to the artist page and save the other album (even though they appear the same)... why have a prerelease album with limited content when the full album is out?

    I have a couple more issues, but after putting so much effort into migrating from Spotify long ago only to still have all these issues I can't think of them.

    I'm wondering if I am the only one with these issues since Apple Music continues to break records for music streaming. Maybe I'm a power user when most average users don't encounter these issues?

    Is the issue with the artists/labels sometimes? Maybe my means of listening? My car? My AirPods? I only ask because, well, obviously it really annoying, but also because I don't remember having these issues with Spotify. Maybe I did and just forgot, though...

    TIL you can hold a notification banner with one finger and start typing with another. It comes in handy when you get one of those verification codes.

    I know a lot of people have had issues with their butterfly keyboards, and Apple still needs to widely address this (because the keyboards suck)... but if you find yourself with a bad key, don't forget this support article exists.

    Set your double tap to play-next-song. If your music is paused double tap will play instead of skip. So it plays music when you want it to and plays next song if it's already playing – a toofer!

    Apple should make the iPhone X home screen bar available to all iOS devices via AssitiveTouch

    Posted: 09 May 2018 07:19 AM PDT

    This would be a much better alternative than having the AssitiveTouch floating icon. Also, if people were scared of buying the iPhone X because of a lack of home button, then this proposed feature could also let people demo not using a home button.

    The butterfly keyboard is annoying

    Posted: 09 May 2018 07:37 AM PDT

    I've had the G key fail on me while writing just now. This one was particularly annoying to get working again.

    I should probably clarify that unlike most people, I quite like how they feel, but super don't like how easy they are to impede.

    These keyboards are borderline defective and should be recalled and replaced. I don't know, I don't feel like sucking on a button for a couple minutes in a computer lab should be something I ever do in my life.

    Why is Apple being referred to as potentially the first trillion dollar company when, 11 years ago, PetroChina was called that?

    Posted: 09 May 2018 11:18 AM PDT

    No snark intended, I'm genuinely asking if there's some element I'm misunderstanding? There are lots of headlines from 2007 stating that Petro China became the first company to hit a $1T market cap, and several listings give a handful of trillion-dollar companies including HSBC and TSMC. Do the current crop of headlines about Apple mean it could be the first US trillion-dollar company, or is there some way in which the aforementioned ones don't actually count?

    iMac 5k display, 10bit panels or not?

    Posted: 09 May 2018 06:05 PM PDT

    OSX had 10bit colors support from Mavericks, but I find alot of conflicting informations about whether or not the 5k are true 10bit panels or 8 bit.

    Same goes with softwares, some says the Lightroom DEV module and Capture One support 10bit, some says they dont and most articles/comments are like 1+ years old.

    Apple Pay "at the pump" for gas?

    Posted: 09 May 2018 10:31 PM PDT

    I was wondering if anyone knew which brands allow this and if there is a map of where the locations are that support it? I know exxon allows you to pay through their app, but that's a bunch of extra steps I don't want to take. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    TIL if you try to play the same song on a second iOS device while it's still playing, it will ask you to continue on the new device.
