    Apple iOS You know what I hate? How everything is subscription-based nowadays.


    You know what I hate? How everything is subscription-based nowadays.

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 06:20 AM PDT

    This applies to a bunch of things like YouTube and Spotify where you have to pay just to get rid of those annoying ads (which is why I prefer to use Adblock), but on the App Store it's especially annoying. I get that the developers need to cover the bills somehow, but I wish they didn't have to milk our wallets dry. I have noticed this issue with a bunch of apps like video editors (Filmmaker Pro), piano lesson programs (Yousician), meditation tools (Calm), exercise assistants (SmartGym), cloud storage (Dropbox), social networking (Meetup), knock it the hell off! Whenever I see something on the App Store that interests me, I have to read through the entire page looking for red flags; if there's a premium subscription involved, I IMMEDIATELY run away and never look back. I don't care what the benefits are, because at the end of the day it's just making everything more expensive. Don't believe me? Look over all the premium subscription services you have and see how much money in total you have to spend every month for Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, etc. We have to pay enough bills as it is! Wouldn't you rather save that money for something special (a new gaming PC, that car you always wanted, etc.)? Why not just pay once to get rid of ads or unlock a new feature and let that be it (like it used to be)? Or better yet, why not just have a separate paid version of the app with everything unlocked right out the gate (without having to pay again later)?

    We should be able to choose a wallpaper for light mode and another for dark mode

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 03:13 AM PDT

    Kinda said it all in the title, but I'd love if we could choose wallpapers for light and dark mode. I have a really bright wall paper and it makes me really happy but it blinds me at night so if I could have another darker one for when dark mode is on so I don't have to constantly change it that would be great.

    Fallen into an iOS 13 Reminders trap

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 01:08 AM PDT

    Totally my fault because I wasn't paying attention so I thought I'd give people a bit of a heads up.

    If you use Reminders a lot on several devices and have upgraded to iOS 13 on your phone, most definitely click on Upgrade Later when opening the Reminders app for the first time. If you don't and go ahead upgrading your lists, you'll lose access to them on iPad and Mac until those device upgrades are released.

    I totally didn't do this and I'll be crying a little until Tuesday when iPadOS comes out.

    That important splash screen that pops up actually contains important information.

    WatchOS 6 is sooo underwhelming on Series 3

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 02:47 AM PDT

    Don't get me wrong. It's nice an all that Apple keeps updating older hardware, but aside from 'menstrual cycle tracking' we only got two new watch faces, and some boring ones at that. I would have wished for something more customizable and maybe some new complications. I would also have loved a new color scheme.

    Best Feature of iOS

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 04:12 AM PDT

    FYI you can quickly rearrange apps on the home screen with Haptic Touch by swiping away from the app icon instead of using the menu

    The best hidden iOS 13 Feature - at least for bi-lingual people - No Keyboard Switching anymore!

    The best hidden iOS 13 Feature - at least for bi-lingual people - No Keyboard Switching anymore!

    This probably did not annoy as many of you as it did me in the past, but maybe one or another will also really enjoy this not yet advertised (at least as far as I know) change in iOS 13. It's finally possible to use two languages with auto correct while having only one keyboard + Emoji installed!

    If you happen two use more than only one language on your iPhone, you sure know the struggle. In the past you needed to add an additional keyboard for every language you use. This makes it quite annoying to switch between the keyboards and Emojis since you have to sometimes tap at least twice the "Globe" to get back the Emojis, e.g. German - Emoji - English. If you are on the English Keyboard first have to cycle through the German one and then to the Emojis. Of course you could hold the Globe and swipe to Emoji, but this isn't really practical while typing.

    So in iOS 13 the Emoji Button in now separated from the Globe Button - but only for iPhone X and newer. I own a iPhone SE (work) and iPhone 8 so I don't benefit from that change, BUT you can finally have auto correct for two languages with only on keyboard now - which wasn't possible before, just double checked it on iOS 12.4.1 as well.

    So in order to get this working for you, just follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings -> General -> Keyboards and delete the additional keyboard for your second language. So that you're only left with the Keyboard for your main language, e.g. English or German

    Delete the keyboard for your second language

    • Go to Settings -> General -> Language & Region and make sure your second language is added there. If not just add it! You may get asked if you want to change the iPhones' language, but you can just select to keep your main language.

    Make sure your second language is listed in preferred language order

    • Open any messenger and just start typing and switch languages in-between with only one keyboard installed and the Emoji button only one tap away :).

    Just start typing :)

    I noticed that this will not work with a 3rd language, only two languages seem to be supported. Of course you can add additional keyboards again but you will be losing the benefit of switching to Emojis directly then.

    So I really hope that this also helps some other people out there, at least I am pretty happy with this change as they keyboard switching kept annoying me :).

    You can set Live Wallpapers on the XR in iOS 13, but it’s hidden away for some reason.

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 01:49 AM PDT

    One thing I missed most about my iPhone 7 were the Live Wallpapers, but had to give them up after updating to the XR. I figured Apple would reimplement them with subsequent Haptic Touch updates but up until iOS 13 we got nothing.

    Then I was bummed that even in iOS 13 I couldn't set a Live Wallpaper either, despite the 11 series being able to without 3D Touch. Went to Photos, a Live Photo and set wallpaper and was sad to see no Live Wallpaper option. But apparently you can! Apple just decided to hide it away for some stupid reason.

    The steps:

    • Instead of setting a wallpaper at the image in Photos, go to Settings > Wallpaper
    • Go to Choose a New Wallpaper
    • Go to the Live Photo's album
    • From here you can set a Live Wallpaper!

    Why Apple made it like this I have no idea, but hopefully you guys with an XR enjoy the return of one of my favourite 3D Touch features!

    Can someone smarter than me explain why Night Mode can't be ported to previous iPhones while Google's Night Sight is on a myriad of devices?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2019 11:43 PM PDT

    I'm rocking a Xr and one thing I was always jealous of from Android was how amazing Google's Night Sight was when I compared my pictures with my friends' Pixel or OnePlus phones during dimmer get togethers or events. I love my photos during the day, but really do wish the low light was better.

    So I was a little excited when Apple announced their own version that was just as good, only to immediately get the air sucked out of me when they announced it was exclusive to the 11 models.

    So what is it about Apple's Night Mode that prevents it from being on my Xr similar to how Google's Night Sight works perfectly fine across pretty much every company's more powerful phones from the last couple of years. From what I understand the A12 chip is still better than any processor currently on an Android, so it can't be because of raw power, right? I can understand the iPhone 6 or 7 not being fast enough, but surely the A11 and A12 chips from the last couple of years can do the calculations.

    And if it's all machine learning like Google, it makes it even more baffling.

    Is it just an artificial barrier to force an upgrade?

    I don't know, I'm just bummed and wanna understand what's keeping my phone from getting what looks like an excellent new feature.

    How do I rename a Bluetooth device that doesn’t give me the option to do so?

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 05:53 AM PDT

    I have one of those plug ins for my car thay plugs in and acts as both a charger and a Bluetooth radio connector (so I'm able to play music from my phone through the speakers).

    When I connect it doesn't give the option to change the name- all I can do is disconnect and forget device. I did go on my computer and change the name of it but it didn't show up on my phone that way even after forgetting it and reconnecting.

    So I found this on the settings: any saved networks gets sorted with new networks. Sweet!

    iPhone 11 Pro Max doesn't seem to have an option for Hdr on YouTube

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 12:00 AM PDT

    I don't know if this is specific to me but videos that I used to be able to watch in HDR on YouTube no longer show up as HDR. Is anyone having a similar issue

    Anyone missing any Activity awards since the switch to iOS 13 / watchOS 6?

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 04:32 AM PDT

    Pretty much as the title asks... I've filled the monthly 'silver' awards every month since September 2018, but September 2018 is the last one I now have on my Activity app - nothing since then. Same with some of the 'limited edition' awards - some are there, some are missing.

    Also, this month's 'silver' award that's still in progress seems to have disappeared, too. It was something like recording 15 minutes of exercise 23 times this month, and I was on 21. But that doesn't appear anymore.

    My 'gold' monthly awards are still there.

    So frustrating. I know after the switch to iOS12 some of them went missing, but eventually came back. Was just curious if anybody else is experiencing this and, if so, how did you fix it (if you did)?

    Notifications

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 06:23 AM PDT

    Anyone having issues with notifications on 13 with watch os6? Like my phone will have the notifications but they aren't going to my watch like they have in the past...and yes they are set to appear on the watch too. All my settings are the same. I'm baffled. Maybe 13.1 will fix it?

    Can someone please explain what is happening here? Just upgraded to iOS 13 and all my edited photos are opening as original.

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 12:57 AM PDT

    Can someone on iOS 13 check the download size for the app Dorland Medical Dictionary and comment it on this post.

    Posted: 21 Sep 2019 08:43 AM PDT

    I want to know if the size is half the download size that is on iOS 12.

    Apple claimed that it would be 50% smaller.
