| Posted: 18 Jun 2018 05:29 PM PDT I know I'm not alone with this desire. I don't use Yelp. I don't like Yelp. It wouldn't be so bad if the Yelp app was not required to view any reviews longer than a short thought, or even view photos, let alone post reviews. To be honest, this is one of the very few reasons why I still use Google Maps over Apple Maps. Why the decision was made to begin with is almost beyond me - I suspect it was contractual. Here's hoping that contract runs up for the release of iOS 12. Yes, I have submitted feedback on multiple occasions. I suggest others follow the trend. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 18 Jun 2018 10:10 AM PDT Hello r/apple users! My name is Carlos, and I am a university student that has been developing one of the most popular third party Reddit apps on Android, Slide for Reddit, for a little over three years now. In this time, Slide has gained a reputation for being ad-free and open-source, feature-packed, and beautifully designed, and I have spent the last year or so delving into the Apple ecosystem to bring the same features and a fresh, new design to iOS! Slide brings something totally unique to Redditing on iOS devices, and I am extremely excited to announce that Slide iOS is now accepting applications for public Beta Testing on TestFlight! If you are interested in becoming a tester or contributing code to Slide, there is more information about this test at the bottom of the post. Slide on iOS has been designed from the ground up to be fast and feature packed, with a fresh and unique Material Design inspired UI that is simple to use and extremely customizable (thousands of theme and layout combinations). Slide is fully offline-capable, which means you can cache your favorite subreddits and comments for when you are offline, and Slide supports your favorite content sites such as Streamable.com, v.redd.it videos, Imgur albums (for free), and Gfycat.com links, just to name a few. Slide is also fully open-source under an Apache 2 license, with a repository on Github that is actively accepting contributions! What makes Slide unique?For starters, Slide iOS is based off of the design and feature set of Slide on Android ( r/slideforreddit ), which has been built over years and has had extensive testing, evolution, and user feedback. This means that you can expect a sizable feature set that feels intuitive to use and learn, and a tried and tested design that has been modified to feel right at home on iOS. Here are some promotional images for Slide that will be featured on the App Store when Slide exits Beta! Some other features include:
If you would like to help beta test Slide for iOS, please fill out this form! The application will close tomorrow, and 300 testers will be chosen on a first-come-first-serve basis. TestFlight applications will close after this, and I will not be accepting new beta testers until further notice. These testers will also remain active for future Beta builds once Slide is released publicly. If you are a Swift developer and want to contribute to our open-source project, please check out our page on GitHub, and join us on our Discord server (in the README)! Thank you for reading, if you have any comments or suggestions I would love to hear your feedback! Make sure to subscribe to r/slide_ios for more information about the beta test, in-development features, and interact with our community! EDIT: Wow, there are a lot more responses to this than I had anticipated, and we are well over 300 applications for beta testing. I will be looking into expanding the beta testing pool (maybe multiple waves?) and will keep you in the loop through your email addresses and/or the r/slide_ios subreddit. My goal is to get it into as many hands as possible without making the beta unmanageable! [link] [comments]  |
| Apple Pay is now available in Poland Posted: 18 Jun 2018 10:50 PM PDT I just managed to add my mBank card to both my iPhone and my Apple Watch. When I opened Wallet on my iPhone, the Apple Pay section just kinda slided in after a second and on the Watch app I had to force quit and open it again. The whole process of adding a card was very easy and simple! News article in Polish: http://media.mbank.pl/pr/394260/apple-pay-juz-dostepne-dla-klientow-mbanku [link] [comments]  |
| After using both for a bit, macOS still feels so much more modern than Windows 10 Posted: 18 Jun 2018 05:50 AM PDT Lately Apple has been (very deservedly) criticised of letting macOS rot a bit, in terms of user facing features. Sierra was a relatively minor update, and High Sierra focused more on frameworks and behind-the-scenes tech that didn't impact day-to-day activities much. Because of this and other compatibility reasons, I started doing some of my work on Windows 10. I do have to agree the newest parts of Windows 10's UI are nice and really rival macOS. However, I eventually abandoned using W10 altogether. Here are just a bunch of things that macOS handles without issue but trip up W10: Deleting directories with many files. I work on very large Github projects, some with over 100+ Node dependencies, resulting in folders that are tens of thousands of files in size. On Windows, trying to move this folder to the Recycle Bin takes ages, with Explorer slowly crunching through each file before it gets moved. Then it takes even longer when you actually try to empty the Recycle Bin. macOS handles moving this directory to the Trash literally instantly. Emptying the Trash does take a bit longer, but nowhere near as long as Explorer takes. The Finder is so much more advanced than Explorer. Quick Look (especially on the Mojave beta) is really capable in that it can preview almost any file out of the box (pictures, videos, JSON, etc), quickly markup stuff and can be added to using plugins. Mojave's quick actions are really sweet too. The new Finder dark mode looks absolutely sick too, much better than Explorer's white text on complete black. PDF support I find it really common that I have to combine PDFs, split PDFs, add pages/images to PDFs, re-arrange PDFs, copy pages between PDFs, bookmark a page in a PDF, etc. All this can be done stupidly easily in Preview, and it handles it flawlessly. No need to upload it to some dodgy web service. Preview has no issue handling 600+ pages documents either. Scrolls through them super smoothly. Edge is good at viewing and marking up PDFs... that's about it. Just plain shutting up W10's notifications just don't stop... "Activate Cortana!!!" "Download Edge for iOS!!!" "Download Continue on PC for iOS!!!" "Download Cortana for iOS!!!" "Windows Defender found no issues!!!" "Can we pleeeeeease restart to update???" "We've pinned Candy Crush to the start menu again!!!" macOS just shuts up. The only warning it ever gives me is a low battery alert. Crash Protection I know this is an odd topic, but both macOS and Windows 10 have stuffed up before. I installed the 1709 feature update, and that left my W10 partition in a constant BSOD reboot loop. Only way to fix it was to nuke the partition and re-install (I spent a good amount of time trying to salvage it because I had stuff set up the way I wanted). On macOS, I ended up breaking the OS when I tried to jump from the Public Beta -> Stable. It still booted, but the update failed to install and the App Store no longer worked. Quick reboot into Internet Recovery, in-place reinstall of the OS, and everything was up to date and completely working again. All my files and Homebrew packages were untouched. Also, if you force shutdown macOS while you have a bunch of unsaved stuff open, it'll most likely still be there the next time you log in. Some W10 apps like Office do try and recover your stuff, but most apps do not 😒. If you're running an EFI update and manage to get a corrupt BootROM because the update was interrupted in some way, macOS will restore a working copy. I suspect this is a hardware feature though, as some business PCs have it too. The PCs I work on don't do this though, so I'm terrified every time I have to update the firmware. I could probably go on for a lot longer, but these are the things that made themselves apparent in my use of W10 over the past few months. edit: formatting [link] [comments]  |

| How is Apple going to name the next gen iPhones? Posted: 18 Jun 2018 02:01 PM PDT With the iPhones 8 and 10 being the current gen iPhones, a refresh of both will result in iPhones 9 and 11. I feel like that would be a bad move on their part... [link] [comments]  |

| Apple Maps van spotted in the wild Posted: 18 Jun 2018 11:59 AM PDT https://i.imgur.com/ZOtQ6wZ.jpg Saw this guy driving down the street collecting data yesterday. I'm not sure what the pop-can-shaped devices are on the corners of the roof, but they were spinning very fast. [link] [comments]  |
| Free apps only available today! Posted: 18 Jun 2018 05:39 PM PDT There is a $17 camera app in this bunch. Useful to have nonetheless. http://bgr.com/2018/06/18/best-free-iphone-apps-ipad-ios-june-18/ [link] [comments]  |

| How are our Canadian, German and French friends enjoying HomePod? Posted: 18 Jun 2018 02:30 PM PDT HomePod launched in Canada, Germany and France today! Did you get a chance to pick one up? Any first impressions? I got two, can't wait to get home and hook them up! [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Apple Maps not built into the activity app to map runs etc? Posted: 18 Jun 2018 12:02 PM PDT I have taken up running recently and have been using Strava (which can already do this) However I went out today for a run without my phone and oddly the Strava watch app wouldn't load up so I used the workout app instead, usually I would look at the route a ran in Strava when I get back home, however unless I'm missing something there's no way to do this using the activity app? Would it take much for Apple to build in maps to show this? Would make me maybe use it more over apps like Strava for example! Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| There are zero refurbished macs for sale right now. Is this possibly a sign of new hardware? Posted: 18 Jun 2018 05:29 AM PDT https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac You can still click the 'featured product' listings but no active items shown. Anyone know if they've pulled stock during updates? [link] [comments]  |

| Apple Watch Found Pompano Beach, FL Posted: 18 Jun 2018 09:53 PM PDT I have found an Apple Watch floating in the water while snorkeling at Pompano Beach. If this is yours and you can verify the serial number PM me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 18 Jun 2018 11:13 PM PDT Settings>General>Display Accomodations> Colour Filters> Blue/Yellow Filter Although this is for colour blind people, I haven't seen it mess up any colour on my display at all. This works perfectly well for those of us who aren't colour blind as well. It'll make your iPhone's display a lot more saturated for those who prefer that look. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 18 Jun 2018 11:13 AM PDT I am currently using v13 and it has been very good. I am sure there will be some new stuff for v14 when it comes out later this year but wanted to see what some items might be good to have or improved? Personally I do not want more of the extra stuff they have been adding to a "toolbox" and I haver never installed that. [link] [comments]  |
| Why is updating WatchOS such a PIA? Posted: 18 Jun 2018 10:34 AM PDT What is with updating WatchOS? It is pathetically slow and I need to jump through all kinds of hoops just to update the damn thing. Has to be on a charger. Has to have at least 50% charged. My iPhone has to be connected to the internet. If I switch to other apps while updating my watch it may interfere with the update process. Man. Apple does a lot of things right, but sometimes. They are worse than Windows... [link] [comments]  |
