    Apple removing headphone adapter from iPhone 8/8+

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 09:15 AM PDT

    I work at Verizon and just had a customer buy an iPhone 8. I told them they would get a dongle and was surprised to see it missing in the box. I assumed this was a packaging error as the new XS/XS Max don't come with the dongle.

    I check the packaging and it now no longer mentions the adapter on the what's in the box section. Looks like if you buy an 8/8+ you will no longer get the dongle. Kinda jerk move to remove something out of the box a year later, but figured prospective buyers should know.

    Edit: I have just looked at Apple's website "whats in the box" and the iPhone 7/7+ also have had their adapters removed. Basically if you buy a new iPhone, it won't come with the adapter, just the lightning cable headphones.

    The the Pixel 3 XL makes the iPhone's notch look sleek and stylish

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 11:55 AM PDT

    There are a lot of features, mostly camera related, that I'm really impressed by on the Pixel. But, damn, that notch on the XL is ugly. After watching some one of the keynote yesterday I looked back down at my iPhone and noticed for the first time how slim and the stylish the notch was in comparison.

    Anyone else have this thought?

    Apple needs a feature like Google’s Call Screen

    Apples iPad Pro’s need full desktop Safari experience

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 07:51 PM PDT

    iPads need a fully fledged Safari Desktop web browser, it's not a pro device if you're hindered by the sometimes limited mobile Safari experience.

    There are a whole slew of websites, some critical; which require a desktop version of Safari to function, and where the iOS Safari "request desktop site" feature isn't effective.

    This would also bring it up to par with the new Google Pixel Slate, and Surface products, where those users can enjoy a full desktop browser experience.

    iOS Safari is a beast, and can manage desktop versions of most websites tremendously. However an iPad Pro- in my opinion, should be able to go further, and be able to eat up any task that a desktop browser can.

    Mac shipments fall 11% in Q3 as customers await updates to aging lineup, IDC says

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 06:19 PM PDT

    2018 and you'd think that apple would give us the feature to put an incoming call in the background instead of waiting for the call to be missed.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 12:57 PM PDT

    Dear Apple. Please make the iPad Pro usable as a graphics tablet.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 07:51 AM PDT

    This just seems like a no-brainer. How awesome would it be to connect the iPad Pro wirelessly to your laptop/desktop, mirror your screen on it, and use the Pencil/touch for input?

    There are products out there like the Wacom Cintiq, and software for the iPad that attempts to do this (but not very well).

    Just seems like a huge missed opportunity...

    iPhones weirdly specific battery capacities

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 07:46 PM PDT

    • iPhone XS max - 3174mah
    • iPhone XS - 2658mah
    • iPhone 8 - 1821mah
    • Galaxy note 9 - 4000mah
    • Huawei P20 pro - 4000mah
    • OnePlus 6 - 3300mah

    I was just wondering why Apple has their battery capacities down to such a specific number?

    Is it because their just more accurately reporting it than other manufacturers or is it because they're squeezing every last amount of space they have for battery which I doubt since other manufacturers fit way bigger batteries in the same space

    The most obvious function missing from the 1st gen Apple Watch

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 12:21 PM PDT

    Yes, I still have a first-gen Apple Watch. It still works fine and looks great, so I haven't seen a need to get a new one.

    Ever since the first week that I owned it though, it has been missing one key function that I just assumed was an oversight and they would eventually push an update that would include it.

    When you walk away from your iPhone, it has an indicator on the watch face to tell you that it has lost its connection, which is helpful. But what about those times you accidently left your phone behind somewhere. I've left the house, the gym, the office, and even restaurants before realizing that I've left my phone.

    Yes, I am one of a select few with severe memory problems (thanks Multiple Sclerosis... I didn't need those myelin sheaths anyway), but I would think that a little tap on the wrist when the watch loses a connection would be helpful to most who use a tethered Apple Watch.

    Am I right? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Why isn't there a web app version of Messages?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 06:34 AM PDT

    If I'm at work on my Windows machine, I hate having text conversations on my iPhone. I'd much rather use my desk keyboard, which is why my wife and I use Slack in these cases. Why can't Apple include a Messages app in icloud.com for desktop messaging?

    Please Bring Back Time Travel On Apple Watch

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 12:45 PM PDT

    Coming from S0, S4 is amazing so far but I do miss Time Travel.

    I use it for selecting future music tracks from the watch face, looking at what's next on my calendar without going into the app, checking future weather, and looking back at my activity progress throughout the day.

    I was able to do that without going into the individual apps and now it is gone. Apple, please bring it back!

    Protip: How to make a 360 degree Panoramic picture using the default camera

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 09:13 PM PDT

    Very simple: Walk forward while you are taking the pano. It will make your start location as small as your start frame, so all shots will fit in the frame. I got some nearly seamless shots of 360+ degrees moving maybe 10 feet.

    [Opinion] App Store Subscription model ruins games

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 01:27 PM PDT

    I've never been much of a mobile gamer. I have 2-3 games of which I bought the ad-free version for a few dollars.
    However, since the subscription model was introduced, there are horrendous prices for ad free experiences like $8/week which is just ridiculous imo. Someone needs to stop this.

    USB-C to Lightning cable is thinner?

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 01:25 PM PDT

    I just received a USB-C to lightning cable ordered directly from Apple. For some reason it's noticeably thinner than a cable I've been using for about a year now. Can anyone else confirm this difference in thickness with the newer cables?

    Shower thought on expected Apple Glasses, Animoji, and FaceTime.

    Posted: 10 Oct 2018 06:37 PM PDT

    I was just thinking about the expected upcoming Apple glasses and how FaceTime would work with them. It wouldn't have a camera in view of your face so a possible solution to that would be to have sensors in the glasses that can track parts of your facial movements to animate an Animoji of yourself to the other person as you communicate. That way you wouldn't need to have your phone out. Since they have added customizable face emoji it would make sense to do it that way. I dunno just an idea.
