    Apple needs to enable some kind of family mode with Find My

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 07:06 AM PST

    Packed up the car with my wife and my 2 kids and headed to my parents for Thanksgiving. My son brought all is Apple gear (MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad and everything else he had). We get home and my wife's phone gets an alert that someone is tracking her and the map clearly shows our trip to my parents and back.

    I want to put AirTags on all my keychains, but I don't want my wife and kids getting popups on their phones that they're being tracked by their keychains while they're driving.

    Physical + eSIM - same base carrier (Verizon), different MVNOs - why does this happen?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 01:28 PM PST

    I know this community doesn't allow "support" posts, but I'm not asking for help or a "fix" here… just trying to understand what causes this behavior. If mods don't think it's worthwhile, I won't freak out. 😛 If you can suggest a better subreddit I'd appreciate it though.

    Image to explain better: https://imgur.com/a/Jo5J1QC

    Both Visible and Spectrum Mobile are Verizon MVNOs. Shouldn't they have the same signal, since both are coming off the same tower(s) / radios?

    Visible is an eSIM here, while Spectrum Mobile is physical. This is on an iPhone 11 Pro on iOS 15.1. Currently Visible is set as the source for Data, while Spectrum is the primary voice (until I port the number over to Visible). Not sure if this matters but including for thoroughness.

    Just trying to understand why the signal levels / "bars" are different. It's not always better for Visible either, sometimes Spectrum has more bars. Other times they're the same.

    Why is Apple Notes limited to 5 levels of folders?

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 02:24 PM PST

    I understand there could be some limit. If it was like 256, ok I can understand. But why 5, such a stupid low number. Somewhere in that system someone has arbitrary hard coded the limit to 5. Why?

    Is Apple Artificially limiting panel brightness

    Posted: 25 Nov 2021 10:43 PM PST

    OK first off, disclaimer - I don't know crap about displays, at least compared to people actually in the industry. Everything in this post is just intuition so my suppositions may very well be incorrect.

    But back to the question. Is apple artificially limiting display brightness, at least for highlights at lower % APLs? The new MacBook's can consistently crank out over 1600 nits even at 50% APL. TV's all put out brighter highlights at lower % APLs (for example, the QN90A hits 1200 nits at 50% APL, 1600 at 25%, and 1800 at 1%) so why isn't apple advertising numbers like these? My first thought was that apple just doesn't find advertising these numbers important but from what it looks like Apple actually artificially limits brightness on certain panels (namely newer iPhone OLEDs). The S21 Ultra hits 940 nits at 100% APL and 1500 at 1%. The iPhone 13 pro gets over 100 nits brighter at 100% APL but for some reason apple just caps HDR highlight brightness at 1200?

    I'm not criticizing Apple's choices - they implemented HDR pretty seamlessly on the new MBPs, which, make no mistake, already get bright enough to sear my eyeballs lol. But nonetheless, why cap HDR brightness? Does it allow for a more consistent picture or something? Just curious.

    Pretty disappointed with Apple Products and services lately...

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 06:29 PM PST

    To preface, I've been an apple fan for a very long time. I have an Apple Macbook pro (2020), iPhone Pro Max, Airpods Pro, and an Apple Watch SE (not counting the number of other apple products I've had in the past). But all these products have been giving me more issues than I'm comfortable with.

    Following issues:

    - Apple watch does not sync with my iPhone properly when it comes to texts. So I can have a contact saved on my phone but when I get the notification on my Watch, it just shows their number with the area code. I also have problems with the "Hey Siri", functionality, it works when it wants too lol.

    - Airpods Pro constantly disconnect. This usually happens if I'm listening to something and pause it, one of them randomly disconnects. I literally have to put them back into the case and then put them back in my ear. Sometimes it completely disconnects while I'm listening to something.

    ​

    - Macbook also sometimes has a syncing issue, I sometimes don't get message notifications on my phone and the messages app sometimes is not in sync with current messages.

    ​

    - iPhone, this is a relatively new issue, my notifications stopped working on iOS 15.1, like if I go into "Settings -> Notifications" I'm not seeing majority of my apps including WhatsApp, Discord, Banking apps etc. Even if I scroll to the app under settings, I'm not even seeing the option to turn on notifications. The only workaround is to delete the app and redownload it, but I mean is that something I really should be doing on a relatively new iPhone?

    ​

    It's a bit disappointing every single one of my Apple products have, the whole reason I use Apple products is because they rarely do this, but to have every one I own give some sort of an issue that requires a lengthy call or a visit to the Genius bar is really putting a bad taste in my mouth with apple products.
