    iPhone 5c is now considered a 'vintage' device with limited support - 9to5Mac

    Since leather cases were announced today, here are four official apple leather cases I've had on my XS for the last 2 years. Red, blue, green, and saddle brown. 6 months of use each, give or take. (I'm a carpenter, so probably harder on them than the average person)

    I built a paper mockup of the iPhone 12 Mini to get a sense of its actual size and feel in hand (and you can too)

    What was your first iPhone?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:10 PM PST

    First to last iPhone

    • 2007 iPhone
    • 2011 iPhone 4s
    • 2013 iPhone 5s
    • 2015 iPhone 6s
    • 2017 iPhone 8 Plus
    • 2019 iPhone 11 Pro Max

    Hindsight 20/20

    • Wish I bought the 8GB & 32GB models instead of the 4GB & 16GB ones. 64GB is a great base model size.

    • Wish I got the 3Gs in 2009 and larger screen/battery 6s Plus in 2015.

    • I prefer to get the S version for better SoC but not the latest modem. Latest modems are pointless if the network you're on has difficulty rolling out the latest network like 5G, LTE or 3G.

    Just curious...

    If anyone has downsized from a Max (I had the XS Max and got the Pro) and brought the 12 Pro.

    Are you getting used to the smaller display size or are you returning/have you returned?

    I'm getting used to the display size but I feel as if I just want to return and get the Pro Max so I don't get stuck with a device I'm not entirely happy with? (I'm happy with it actually just that popping thought of PRO MAX keeps coming up.)

    If you've returned, why have you returned?

    If you haven't, why are you keeping it? Do you prefer the weight/size difference?

    After a few years with Pixels/Android and recently using my XS Max for a couple months I can truly saying I'm actually not missing Android as much anymore and it's a joy to use.

    MagSafe case - how protective is it?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 06:23 PM PST

    Sorry if this has been answered before but I haven't been able to find a comprehensive enough review on these cases to answer my question.

    Silicone MagSafe case owners: how protective do you think the case is? I've been using a speck presidio pro on the 12 and had one on the 11. My favorite iPhone case, best combo of design/protection/thickness.

    I just ordered a black one. How confident do you feel dropping your phone in one of these things?

    You think the 12s and MagSafe can do something like Samsung’s LED case?

    Anyone else turned off from the 12 Pro because of the stainless steel siding? It’s legit the main reason I won’t be getting it.

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 02:09 AM PST

    So I went into the Apple Store (Barcelona, Spain) yesterday to get my AirPod Pros swapped out. Sitting there waiting on the diagnostics to finish running, I was playing around with the 12 and the 12 Pro.

    I'm (admittedly) an "easy upsell" kind of guy, and I'm also into the third telephoto lens of the "pro" line of phones. I'm also in love with the "new" design - the throwback to my favorite iPhone 4 &5.

    Having had both the 11 normal and 11 Pro, I figured getting the 12 Pro would be the logical next step.

    So while I didn't go in looking to buy/upgrade - I was open to it.

    But holy hell was I disappointed with one major thing....the stainless steel siding on the 12 Pro.

    Yeah, I read countless reviews about thumbprint marks...but it's not just that! Add to the usual thumbprints and you get oily stains/skin stains, micro scratches, all on a material where the slightest mark looks glaringly bad.

    In addition to the oil/thumbprint/scratch marks, what I couldn't get over was the cheap look to it. I will say this is muuuuch worse for the iPhone 12P in silver, but overall, it's just not a "Pro" look to me. At all. It looks about as pro as rhinestones look like diamonds.

    Long story short, this really caught me off guard, and I really refuse to drop a grand for something that looks like - IMO - cheap plastic material. (This only applies to the sides - back is fine in my book.)

    Has anyone else seen in this boat? Any chance they'll drop the SS material in the 12S/13/etc?!

    Apple will never put Touch ID in the iPhone ever again, don’t you think so?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:10 AM PST

    Apple will never put Touch ID in the iPhone ever again. Save yourself the disappointment folks.

    I find it amusing and bizarre that a majority of people who know how Apple operates, "hope" that Apple adds Touch ID back into the iPhone. It's one thing to wish for it from a purely wishlist/hypothetical standpoint, which is fine. But I see a lot of people genuinely thinking that there could be a chance it may come back, and desperately hoping for the same. Thus setting themselves up for disappointment in the case that their wish doesn't come true. To me, it's clear as day that Apple is the kind of company that would never ever go back on a technology as crucial as biometric authentication in their flagship products, that they themselves proudly replaced with something they advertised as superior (Face ID). Apple's image is all about unreasonable levels of perfection in everything they do and make, about never taking a wrong decision with their products (think back to the "bravery" of removing the headphone jack), and about leading the industry into the future because they have the greatest minds working for them.

    ——

    Do you remember the way they showed off Face ID during the keynote and in their ads? And how they compared it to Touch ID, so as to show that Face ID is perfect and superior in every conceivable way? Do you really think Apple is casually just going to go back on something that? lol. Many customers may be pleased with such a decision but the kind of backlash they will get from the media in terms of headlines like "Apple brings back Touch ID. Implicitly acknowledges its inability to innovate & know what's best for the customer." Can you imagine that being something Apple would ever consciously do? The answer for me is a clear: Nope!

    ——

    Finally, consider this: They cannot ever add Touch ID back (even if they wanted to) because it would make for a frustrating and illogical user-experience when combined with Face ID. Not only would it be a waste of hardware to have the notch just for Face ID, it would also go against Apple's design principles of simplicity to have 2 different ways to do biometric authentication on a single device. Between keeping Face ID (the fancy, new, superior tech they are extremely proud of) vs Touch ID (the old-school tech that isn't nearly as secure) as the new default, Face ID is the obvious choice! To omit Face ID would be to publicly admit that they fucked-up and that they are losing their ability to innovate and lead the industry.

    ——

    I would love to hear what you guys think of this thought process. Do you agree/disagree? (Would especially love to hear counter-arguments because I cannot for the life of me imagine what kind of advertisements they would have to put out to sell Touch ID in their flagships again when their previous campaigns with Face ID were all about shitting on it! 😂)
