| Tip for M1 users: use Microsoft teams as an Edge app instead of the desktop app Posted: 03 Jul 2021 10:35 AM PDT Instead of using the slow standard desktop Teams app, download Edge (M1 native) and install Teams as an Edge browser app (click the icon that appears on the navigation bar when visiting the Teams site), which you can include as an icon in the doc. Teams will now open instantly since it's so lightweight and runs so smoothly; and there's barely any difference with the desktop app. It doesn't even seem like a browser tab. You can also do this with Outlook. [link] [comments]  | ||
| It took 3 days of using a 6 year old iPhone to win me over. Posted: 03 Jul 2021 03:54 PM PDT Nobody asked, but I just wanted to share my experience becoming an Apple fan this past week, I never expected to like Apple this much. I've never cared that much for Apple devices EXCEPT for the iPad mini. I got the first gen shortly after it came out and it is possibly my favorite device of all time because of GarageBand and a few other apps at the perfect cargo-shorts-pocket size. I had a gen 3 for a short time that I bought broken for cheap and repaired..until I sat on it and broke it again. But other than that, I've always been 100% Android and Windows and pretty much anti-Apple. My phone for the last 4 years has been the Galaxy Note 8 and I love it for the large screen and S Pen and was convinced I wasn't going to be able to go without a Note again. I got it 4 years ago, it's still hanging in there just fine but Samsung stopped updating Android on it 2 years ago and left it forever at Android 9. Fast forward to this week, I started using an iPhone 6s because I was curious and...wow. Two years older than my Note 8, but it's running iOS 14.6 and gets iOS 15 this fall. Not only that, it is snappier and animations are smoother. Apps open faster and while there are hiccups here and there, there's less than my much more powerful (on paper) Note 8 and it is far smoother than I expected for a six years old device. Between that and all the integrations Apple has with iCloud, iMessage, Touch ID, all of it, it's so smooth and honestly way cooler than I realized. My wife is all Apple stuff, most of my family moved over to Apple years ago. I thought it was dumb...but I realize now I didn't understand. I'm now typing on my brand new M1 MacBook Air (found out about Apple Card, 0% interest monthly payments, 2 hour delivery...oof), it's only been a couple of days and I am loving the Apple ecosystem. So many things I had to use so many different apps for between Windows and Android, and it's all just there, ready to go and with years of fine tuning with Apple. I know it's not perfect and there will be issues, but so far as someone that would really push my Android and Windows devices to create the integrated experience I wanted and who liked Samsung's ecosystem but felt like it was just close but not quite what it could be... it's awesome to just have it all here, already set up and working so smoothly with Apple and I know it will keep working from all the people still running old MacBooks and other Apple hardware just fine, and how well they retain their value. So yea, as someone who never thought I'd be able to have a non-Note phone again or a non-Thinkpad laptop... I was so wrong and I'm loving my iPhone and new MBA. The M1 especially, is something truly amazing. I can't believe this thing is passively cooled. GG Apple and RIP Intel. I keep finding new Apple things and thinking they are so cool and geeking out, and my wife keeps responding in a I told you so type "uh-huh, yep" Since this is supposed to be a discussion, if you read this far, what event/discovery changed you to Apple?

| Should Apple update it's stock apps from app store like android? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 02:35 PM PDT Android and iOS updates are very different in a major way. Android updates mainly update core OS itself and has put it's stock apps and play services on PlayStore, which lets them update them without issuing an OS update. This means faster and more frequent updates and bug fixes. Android can also add core features ( for ex " neaby share " via play services update ). If you look at iOS os updates, a good chunk of it is app updates. The reason Apple " prob " does it is because it feels like they added a lot of features. iOS users can benefit from this if Apple copied this approach specially with critical bug fixes. Just wanna know what you guys think about it. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What are your thoughts on the repairability of modern Apple products? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 07:25 PM PDT After getting involved in a discussion a bit earlier, I'm curious what this subreddit thinks about Apple's stance and strategy as it relates to user, first-party, and third-party level repair. I've been an Android user since the early 2010s, before which I owned an iPod touch (2nd gen, 8GB). All computers I've owned have run Windows (though, I use Linux distributions quite a bit, too). I love some of the design elements of the iPhone 12 as well as the refreshed iMacs. What is stopping me from considering being in the market for an Apple product, aside from platform-dependent software (I'm an engineering student), is the ability for me to upgrade or repair them. I want to try using iOS or macOS, but I also want to make sure that my investments last the test of time, no matter what. I'm likely going to get a pretty mixed reception, especially given my background, but I'd like to hear your thoughts regardless. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Frustrated with managing Family Share subscriptions as the owner/manager Posted: 03 Jul 2021 06:39 AM PDT This is incredibly frustrating that subscriptions need to be cancelled on the device with the subscription even though the subscription is being paid for by my credit card as the family owner/manager. I receive the email with the charge. Several times now this has been a huge hassle. So I had made a "family Apple ID" for a community family iPad. That was later given to my son, reset and signed in under his own Apple ID. AppleTV+ was signed up for the free trial under the family Apple ID. I've now been charged, and I have no way of cancelling the subscription without setting up a device with that Apple ID I no longer use. I can't cancel it on the website as it just launches the App Store where I'm signed in with my account and shows my device subs. So I'll ask again, why on earth does the Family Share/Owner not have the ability to easily manage subscriptions that they are paying for? This feels predatory and the opposite of what I expect from Apple. [link] [comments]  | ||
