    Our predictions for the 2020 iPhone in 2014

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 08:57 AM PST

    Jeff Benjamin: The iPhone 12 mini is, in my honest opinion, the best looking and best functioning smartphone that I’ve experienced in years

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:23 AM PST

    Android user of 10 years, switched to an iPhone. Just some thoughts.

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 04:37 PM PST

    So I've been using Android phones since about 10 years now. I've seen the progression from 2.3 all the way up to 11.

    Most recently, I had a Pixel 2XL, which I wanted to upgrade from. Google completely destroyed my dreams of having another Pixel because of 2 reasons.

    1. They didn't launch the latest Pixel 5 in my region at all.
    2. They were making budget phones. No flagship stuff.

    I was thinking of OnePlus but the UI has started moving away from the clean stock android it used to be. I never wanted to use a Samsung because I absolutely abhor the One UI.

    So I was "naturally" left with only one option. Turn over to the other side. Think Apple.

    The biggest thing that has stopped me from getting an iPhone in the past was that

    1. Complete lack of homescreen customisation. It would have driven me up walls if I had to use a phone where every single installed app is just lying on the homescreen with no way to clean it up. No widgets either. iOS 14 changed that. Finally you can run a clean home screen, and have an app drawer that's arguably better than Android.
    2. Up until iPhone 11, the camera was just not at par with the Pixels overall. It had its redeeming points, but until 11, night sight was a complete miss. That changed too.

    Thanks to these 2 changes, I even considered an iPhone. I timed it right, browsed the web a lot, and managed to get an iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB for about 15% cheaper than the general market price.

    It's been a month now, and here are a few thoughts:

    1. The battery life is absolutely insane. I can go through about a day and more in a single charge, and that too without even charging past 90%. My average screentime is like 4-5 hours a day. I'm especially impressed by how little battery it consumes in traditionally power hungry tasks like photos, long videos, audio recordings. On standby it barely sips battery. This is the power of complete custom integration, and Google, I hope you learn this.
    2. The cameras are fantastic. The images are usually a bit less contrast-y than I used to get on my Pixel, but that's something I'm getting used. What I noticed is that the iPhone captures far better dynamic range when there's enough light. The natural DoF on the cameras is so good. I'm enjoying having an ultra-wide and a proper 2x telephoto. I especially love the camera UI showing the areas just outside the current frame. Again, only possible through custom SoC integration power.
    3. The videos are absolutely sublime. The stabilisation, the seamless switching between the lenses, I love it.
    4. The UI. I have finally found the perfect UI. The left pane with some basic widgets, a single completely empty homescreen with 4 icons at the bottom (Thought I wish they were 5), and an app drawer that organises apps by category. Perfection. On Android I used to create folders on the home screen manually and categorise apps in them :| Yikes.
    5. Almost every single app that I used on Android is way better on iOS. Biggest betrayal being how much more usable Chrome is on iOS than Android! WTF Google? The apps are well designed, the long press actions are ahmazing.
    6. Wireless charging! I used to be very skeptical of it before. But now I got an Aukey charging dock thingy, and I'm loving the convenience.
    7. Face ID: The speed is fantastic, and it's pretty seamless. I only wish you could just half swipe on the lock screen to unlock it. It's annoying having to swipe from the very bottom on a 6.5" screen. Also, the way the wireless dock is placed on my work desk, I can simply glance to the phone when I have a notification, and Face ID will instantly show me the notification content! That is pretty cool.
    8. Though now in the mask era, Face ID is a bit annoying. I know that there are ways to enroll with the mask, but apart from that, I miss the finger print for its ease in such situations.
    9. My only biggest gripe with the whole thing is that for some reason no app can differentiate between "folders" of sorts. I hate that downloaded media, media that I send through whatsapp, all get pooled with my camera photos, and if I enable backup, it will stupidly backup everything. I don't want that. The Apple "Photos" app does have different "albums", but there's no option to backup only the camera photos because there is no Camera "album". I have not found any workaround/solution for this yet. (I am aware that Whatsapp has a setting to disable saving to camera roll. But that only applies to incoming media. Media that I click in whatsapp and then send still gets saved to camera roll.)

    Overall, I'm pretty damn happy I made the switch.

    EDIT1: A couple of folks asked for how my homescreen setup currently looks like:

    Is Truetone useless with OLED?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:32 AM PST

    Hey everyone. Probably not the best title but I have a concern here. Looking at my iPad, my iPhone 11, and another previous iPhone that all support TrueTone, I can't help but feel that my iPhone 12 mini just looks like it's in night shift. Is it just me or is the quality or utility of this feature greatly diminished with an OLED screen rather than lcd? The subtle color changes adapting to the room and lighting just don't seem to be there.

    iPhone 12 Pro Max video playback brightness

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:57 AM PST

    Hi, I got an iPhone 12 Pro Max and today I shot the first random video of my mom's dog in HDR.

    I noticed that in the photos app the display turns to max (I guess?) brightness while playing the video, even if it doesn't show in the system brightness bar.

    I know that you need max brightness to enjoy HDR so it would make sense, I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed the same thing and if I'm right or if it's just an impression of mine.

    Does anyone know if PerfDog tool work? Any opinion?

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:04 AM PST

    Kinda discovered that the 11 Pro max doesn't do night mode on the telephoto either.

    Posted: 24 Nov 2020 01:29 AM PST

    So I knew for sure that the 11Pro Max doesn't do night mode on the ultra wide, but I didn't know that night mode as off limits on the telephoto too!

    Was just trying out some images last night, and I managed to trick it into actually switching to the 2x lens, and boom. Night mode was gone.

    Night mode is entirely software. I wonder why it's restricted only to the standard wide lens.

    Does anyone have an Otter + Pop case?

    Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:16 AM PST

    I am planning to purchase an iPhone 12 mini and am trying to decide what kind of case to get. I have been looking at the Otter + Pop cases but I am curious to know, how flush is the pop socket in the case when collapsed?

    I am trying to weigh pros/cons before going a pop-socket route vs a MagSafe route because as I understand it currently there isn't a good way to accommodate both.

    Thanks in advance for anyone who can share their thoughts!
