    Pro Tip: You can get a prorated refund on apple care + if you do not use it for the entire time you’ve had it.

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:31 AM PDT

    With the new iPhones coming out, many of you, including me, will be trading in your current iPhone with an active apple care + for the shiny new iPhone 12/pro. If you paid for apple care in full when you purchased your original phone and you never submitted a claim you can contact apple and get a prorated refund on the remaining time you have on it.

    Make sure Verizon didn't charge $40 for upgrade fee! Advertised by Apple as $20 charge, even on order email

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:09 AM PDT

    I saw that Verizon charged me $40 for the upgrade fee on my bill for my iphone 12 pro purchase. However on apple's website during the purchase, the upgrade fee was advertised, and shown on the receipt as $20 to be billed by Verizon as a one time fee. I was able to get verizon to easily correct it with a $20 credit, but wanted to let anyone else know so they can check it and make sure they weren't charged more than they were supposed to be charged!

    Finally switched from the iPhone 6s to the 12 Pro

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 07:02 PM PDT

    After several years of using this phone, it has come to the point where it's barely usable anymore. The battery barely lasts 2 hours and apps take ages to open and load. I can't wait to officially have my new iPhone this friday! Anyone else upgrading this drastically?

    How many of you brave souls don’t put a case on your iPhone?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    I ultimately love the naked feel of an iPhone! I hate losing that sense when I put a plastic case on it. Obviously, we all drop our phones at one point or another! How many of you have gone long periods of time not dropping your phone simply because you know you don't have a case on it?

    Best iPhone 12 Deal - Look Through

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:32 AM PDT

    T-Mobile

    I am trying to figure out what the "best current deal" is right now. Below is what I think I have correct when looking at the deals? I currently have T-Mobile and just started with them a year ago. I have an iPhone 8Plus is good condition so I know I can trade it. That being said what is the best deal for me? Also, I see that T-Mobile has a like sim and activation fee- do other places have that? Will I need to pay that even if I buy from Apple or Costco? Thanks so much.

    From T-Mobile. Trade in is $415 off $10 sim $20 activation $880 total "$465" total

    https://www.t-mobile.com/support/account/apple-iphone-with-5G-offers

    Apple site:$150 + 210 = $360 off $849 total $639 total final

    Costco: $791 - $374 = $417 total off

    Made the switch to the 12 Pro

    Posted: 18 Oct 2020 06:13 PM PDT

    So I made the switch from Android to Apple. I'm coming from a Galaxy S9+. I haven't had an iphone since the 6. The 6 kinda disappointed me but with how phones have been advancing I feel like I have to try an iphone before I completely swear off of them. I do love the ecosystem apple has developed and I want get in to it.

    2016 iPhone SE users, will you make the switch to the iPhone 12 Mini?

    Do you think the iPhone 12 Mini is the rightful successor to the iPhone SE? Or did you have something else in mind?

    iOS 14 Tip & tricks (Full)

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 03:03 AM PDT

    iOS 14 is the latest version of Apple's operating system. It powers the world's favourite device: the iPhone. iOS simply stands for "iPhone operating system", and version 14, the newest iOS, was released on September 16, 2020.The most obvious changes in this iOS update can be found in the Home Screen (more on that later), but there are also some entirely new features. Some of these additions include Apple's new translation App, the ability to swap default Apps, and (finally!) support for widgets. There have been an impressive number of tweaks and changes under the hood as well, including some that even the most die-hard of Apple fans may not be aware of. Read on to find out more…

    The Home Screen

    By now, we all know and love Apple's approach to displaying Apps. But to tell the truth, even we have to admit that the grid-layout has become rather stale. Rows and rows of uniform, uninspired icons have been the norm since the very first iteration of iOS way back in 2007. iOS4 introduced a bit of customization with folders, but that was 10 versions ago!If you decide to utilize all of iOS 14's new features, your Home Screen will be unrecognizable.

    App Library

    If you have used android phones at all you will likely have come across the "App Drawer". This is a place where all of the Apps installed on the phone are listed in alphabetical order, which makes finding what you need pretty easy. With iOS 14, Apple has taken inspiration from its younger brother and introduced its own App Library. Previously, holding your finger on an App's icon would only allow you to either hide it in a folder or remove it from your device entirely. With iOS 14, you now have the option of moving your Apps into the App Library. A definite win. The App Library helps you cut down clutter by removing less-used Apps from your Home Screen. But this isn't the only way to clean up your interface.

    Declutter your Home Screens

    If you are like us, you probably have tens or even hundreds of Apps that get varying amounts of use. Searching through all of these to find the one you need can be a pain. Luckily, Apple have you covered.As well as the App Drawer, another great feature of iOS 14 is that you can now hide entire pages from your home screen! Simply hold a long press and boom, you can untick the home screens you don't use to hide them from view. This cleaner look ties in with Apple's stripped-back aesthetic. It feels like a big step forward, especially for a company that has traditionally shied away from too much customization. Apps aren't the only part of iOS 14 that have been given a minimalist makeover. Incoming phone calls, FaceTime calls, and Siri all have a much more compact form factor in the newest iOS update. This means that you can keep using your iPhone to browse the web, check emails, and even watch videos whilst taking a call. After you've stripped down your Home Screen to the really useful Apps, the only question becomes what to do with all of the digital real-estate you're left with? Don't worry, Apple has your back there too…

    Widgets

    For many years, Apple users who craved widgets could do little more than look on enviously at the Android fans. Thankfully, this state of widget-envy is no longer necessary! iOS 14 has, finally, added support for widgets.Put simply, a widget is an App that runs within the Home Screen, so you can access its functionality without having to first open it. At present, the majority of widgets you can get on iOS 14 are native Apple Apps such as Files, Maps, Music, etc. However, some third-party Apps have widget functionality, and you can expect to see many more added over the coming weeks and months as developers catch up.With iOS 14 you can move your widgets however you see fit (including resizing them). If you prefer a more hands-off approach, Apple has an incredibly smart and convenient feature up its sleeve: Smart Stack. Smart Stack is a new feature that employs intelligent learning algorithms to streamline your widget experience. With Smart Stack, you can store a bunch of widgets in the same screen space. iOS 14 uses a combination of data points to deliver the right widget to the top of your stack based on location, time of day, and activity.

    App Clips

    Through some impressive technological wizardry, iOS 14 allows you to use certain features of specific Apps without downloading the entire application. With App Clips, you can perform tasks such as renting an e-bike, buying something from a cafe, or reserving a spot at your favorite eatery in seconds. Simply scan a QR code, NFC tag, or use a proprietary App Clip Code and you are away! With App Clips, you can access the functionality of many Apps in an instant.

    An Update to Messages

    An excellent feature that you may not have even realized you wanted has been included in iOS 14's version of Messages. For the first time, Apple users have the ability to pin conversations so that they stay at the top of the App. If you're used to losing track of conversations in the depths of your busy inbox, pinning a message is as simple as a rightwards swipe on any chat. As well as pinning, Messages now has an inline reply and a mentions feature, much like you might find in Whatsapp and other messaging services. These two features combined should make it that bit easier for you to stay on top of active group conversations.

    Health App updates

    In a move that will delight not only fitness junkies, but anyone who cares about their health, Apple's Health App now comes with a sleep tracker! As well as this, the new Health Checklist offers a collated location for all your health and safety tools, such as Fall Detection, Emergency SOS, and even new Apps such as one that gives you insights into how audio levels can affect your hearing health.

    Translation for all

    Douglas Adams' famous work of comedic science fiction, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, introduced the world to the concept of the Babelfish. In Adam's universe, communication between races is overcome not through technological means, but rather by inserting a tiny aquatic creature called a Babelfish into your ear canal. Once inserted, the Babel fish then does the hard work of translating every alien tongue imaginable into the language of the creature whose ear it resides in.iOS 14 brings with it Apple's new Translate App, and whilst it might not be able to translate inter-galactic communications (yet…), it is truly something to behold. Plus, it has the edge over the Babelfish in that it works without you needing to put an actual fish inside your head. Apple's Translate can process and convert to and from 11 different languages in near real-time. So what differentiates it from other translation services out there? Well, once Siri has recognized the two languages being spoken, it can translate between them on the fly, without the need for any further input. And the best part? It can even work offline, as long as you've downloaded your chosen language in advance!

    Other Tips and Tricks for iOS 14

    iOS 14 comes jam-packed with new tools and features. Some of them are not as easy to find as others, so here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the new iOS.

    PiP

    PiP (picture-in-picture) mode allows you to watch a video while you are doing other tasks on your iPhone. PiP is enabled by default, and right now it works with Apple's home Apps, such as Safari, Facetime, iTunes etc.If you have a video playing and either swipe up or (on older devices) hit the home button, PiP mode will be enabled. The YouTube App doesn't support PiP, but you can still watch YouTube videos with PiP using a neat little hack. Although YouTube doesn't technically support PiP, Safari does, so simply navigate to your video of choice on YouTube using Safari, view in full-screen mode and tap the PiP button at the top of the screen. You're welcome!

    YouTube in 4K

    Apple has finally added support for Google's VP9 codec, which means you can now enjoy your favorite videos on YouTube in glorious 4K. Simply choose the 2160p option from the Quality menu while watching.

    Sleep Mode

    Few things are more infuriating than being woken up by a notification on your phone that really, really could have waited until the morning. If you have a predictable sleeping schedule, simply input the details of your sleeping hours into the Health App. It'll automatically switch to Do Not Disturb mode during that time.

    Wind Down

    A companion to Sleep Mode and Sleep Schedule, Wind Down activates Sleep Mode at a set time before you retire to bed. Wind Down not only reduces distractions, it also adds Apps and shortcuts to the lock screen that can help you relax.

    Final Thoughts on iOS 14

    iOS 14 brings with it not only some highly sought-after functions, such as PiP video, a sleep tracker, and (finally!) widgets, but also a large number of less obvious tweaks and improvements.One of the best things about iOS 14 is that you won't necessarily have to fork over cash for the latest model of iPhone to enjoy its improvements. Devices as old as the iPhone 6s (released in 2015) are supported by this new iOS release, so the majority of Apple users will be able to enjoy many of iOS 14's upgrades.What are your favorite aspects of Apple's latest operating system? Let us know in the comments below.With all of the exciting features in the newest iOS update, you may find it hard to pull yourself away from your iPhone. All that use is going to eat up your battery life! So, if you want to be sure you're never caught short, USB-C Charging Kit can get your iPhone to 50% charge in less than half an hour!

    iPhone 12 same aspect ratio?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 02:52 AM PDT

    Seeing these posts with iPhone XS's fitting inside 12 cases. Noticed the width is the same, does that mean the new iPhones now have a taller than 19.5:9 ratio? Or have the bezels shrunk enough to keep the phone just as wide while fitting more screen?

    I'd like the slightly larger 16:9 content the 6.1inch should offer over 5.8. Even though it will be minimal.

    Can anyone confirming a taller ratio or is it the same?

    Hey guys. I've just purchased an iPhone 11 Pro and an apple case for it. I use a magnetic holder for my car, is there a product where you can put the little magnetic sticky puck on the inside of the case instead of the outside (making it hideous)

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:30 AM PDT

    Well, title says it I guess, I just haven't seen any infos on Smart Battery Cases for any version of the iPhone 12. Im not sure if I want to switch to one of them and this would be crucial for me.

    If there is any info, will they support magsafe charging?

    Thanks in advance :)
