| iTunes needs an update on windows Posted: 24 Jul 2021 04:10 PM PDT I feel that iTunes on windows needs a giant update. Reason 1. The application looks so old like straight out of 2009. And there is no dark mode and maybe some new font. We also just need a complete redesign Reason 2. I want to use my AM subscription to the max so I want to be able to use it with my pc without issue. But the application is super slow and clunky Reason 3. We also just need a better file transfer system this one is just not working. Am I the only one that feels this way ?? (Ps. I would use the website but it has me sign in every time and I need the file transfer.) submitted by /u/Exclusive656 [link] [comments] |

| My iPhone 12 Pro drains quicker than MagSafe Battery Pack can recharge Posted: 24 Jul 2021 03:33 PM PDT Went for a walk and playing Pogo for the last few hours since it's a sunny day. Phone is on max brightness since thats the only way I can see the content on the screen. Three hours later I noticed that power level is down to about 30%. https://i.imgur.com/k5TOqxM.jpg Battery pack was placed on the phone around 12pm. If lock and don't touch the phone for awhile, the power percentage would slow increase. Definitely an item that I'll be returning sadly. submitted by /u/ziggie216 [link] [comments] |
| X.app: Picture-in-Picture + Fullscreen Extensions for YouTube, Safari, Chrome, etc (iPhone/iPad) Posted: 24 Jul 2021 09:01 PM PDT I'm the developer of X.app (@devarty). App Store download link: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1533525753?pt=119131575&ct=Reddit-Apple&mt=8 App description: - Picture-in-Picture Extension:
- In Safari, Picture-in-Picture (and Fullscreen) mode is activated natively, unlike others, X.app also handles cases when user interaction is required: start playing video, unmute, or pause - showing a message instruction. - In other apps, like YouTube, Chrome, Twitch, Vimeo, TikTok, IGTV, etc - after performing the extension, video URL is moved to In-App browser, in which you select PiP or Fullscreen mode. Q: Why would you need a Fullscreen mode, if it's already available everywhere? A: YouTube, Twitch and others have custom fullscreen modes (both on sites and apps), X.app activates native iOS UI, which has skipping buttons and much more responsive scrubber, I find it more comfortable for multi hours videos, especially on iPad. X.app has a simple In-App browser, where PiP and Fullscreen mode can be activated. If an app doesn't support a share sheet or you don't want to activate it, you can copy URL to Clipboard and then open it in X.app Browser menu or from home screen Quick Action on X.app icon. URL Scheme, if anyone needs it: xapp://?videoURL=ENCODED_URL The app is FREE with no In-App purchases. App Store download link: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1533525753?pt=119131575&ct=Reddit-Apple&mt=8 PS. If you like these extensions, you can follow https://reddit.com/r/xapp for news about addition of other extensions. submitted by /u/devarty [link] [comments] |

| Useful tip for those who recently purchased the new MagSafe Battery Pack for iPhone 12 Posted: 24 Jul 2021 05:35 PM PDT By default the new MagSafe Battery Pack won't charge your phone past 90%. To get it to charge past 90% have the "Low Power" option added to Control Center and while the MagSafe Battery Pack is attached a second option will appear that says "Charge Past 90%". My initial assumption was that it would act similarly to the iPhone Smart Battery Case where the battery in the case would drain first and then the phones battery would start to drain. It was to my surprise seeing my iPhone battery draining past 95% while my MagSafe Battery Pack was still at 100% and not knowing if I had a defunct unit or not as mine arrived with 0% charge out of the box. Hope this helps anyone who wasn't aware! submitted by /u/Me4aRZ [link] [comments] |
| Why is there no native Authenticator app? Posted: 24 Jul 2021 03:56 AM PDT Given how common 2-factor authentication nowadays is, why do we have to rely on 3rd party apps to get the one-time codes. Given Apple's big push on privacy and security, wouldn't it make sense if they would natively build an authentication app. The possibilities could be limitless. You could use your Apple Watch as a physical key on your Apple devices and normally get your codes for every other device for example. Imagine automatic two-factor authentication when login in somewhere, seamlessly as when you get the authentication code through message. I don't know but it just makes a lot of sense in my opinion. I know apple might be pushing for it's Login with Apple system but until it works outside of Safari the way it is intended to work, I don't really see a widespread diffusion of it. submitted by /u/flicknoodle [link] [comments] |

| A useful feature in Safari for iOS that I overlooked for an embarrassing amount of time Posted: 24 Jul 2021 12:27 AM PDT After a decade of daily iPhone use, today I found out that you can close all tabs in Safari for iOS just by long-pressing the "new tab" button in the lower right corner. Suffice to say, I wince when I think about all the times I spent 5-10 minutes manually closing a hundred or more tabs by spam-clicking the (x) in the top left corner of every tab. What are some useful features of iOS that managed to elude you for years? Help me feel less stupid about not knowing about this (in hindsight, extremely obvious) feature. submitted by /u/vendetta2115 [link] [comments] |

| TV+ free subscriptions are not updated to new devices if your first device is stolen and you have to buy another one. Posted: 24 Jul 2021 07:42 PM PDT Hi. I know TV+ subscriptions are kind of cheap, so it's not about the money. This is it: a year ago an asshole broke into my car and stole my bag. My brand new Macbook was inside and I report it to the apple store guys and to the police. Then I bought another MacBook. The TV+ 1 year free subscription was tied to that stolen computer. So Apple has no plans or protocols for this kind of scenario. If your original device is stolen, that stolen device will determine the amount of subscription time left at TV+ and not the new one. For me, it's about these little gestures, Apple. For someone who has spent 4k on your devices, that could be a nice thing to do to your customers. But no. Maybe Tim Cook needs that money to jump to space as the other billionaires around are doing lately. submitted by /u/knob2001 [link] [comments] |
