    iPhone Do you ever miss 3D Touch?

    iPhone Do you ever miss 3D Touch?


    Do you ever miss 3D Touch?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2022 07:55 AM PST

    For those who have upgraded to the newer iPhones e.g. 11, 12 or 13 and lost the 3D Touch feature, do you ever miss it? 🤔

    I know quite a lot of people weren't even aware they had the feature so Apple chose to remove it and save a little bit on production cost.

    I have an Xs and I use this feature almost every time I type something on my phone. I keep looking at the new phones with their amazing battery life and cameras but this one feature is holding me back.

    Does anyone else kind of wish Apple made another sky blue iPhone like the blue XR ?

    Posted: 02 Mar 2022 08:16 PM PST

    I currently have a red 13 but I kind of wish Apple made a sky blue 13 as it's a great color. Red isn't bad but sky blue XR is just a amazing looking phone in my opinion.

    What is going on with the Discord Server?

    Posted: 27 Feb 2022 02:43 PM PST

    I used the Discord Server to be notified of software updates and news about iPhones, but the server has been shutdown twice now. I mean, it's partnered and advertised heavily on the subreddit, why is it continuing to be shut down?

    "iPhone users only buy iPhones because they want to show off their status and feel good about themselves."

    Posted: 27 Feb 2022 12:49 AM PST

    Well, I have seen this argument a lot, and I've long been dismissing it as a stereotype coming from idiots. My dad uses an iPhone and he loves it. Then one day, my brother comes and says that iPhone users only buy iPhones because they want to feel good about themselves while showing off their status. When I argued that it was just a stereotype, and that I've talked to people and they use it because they love it, he just said, "there's almost no useful feature that an iPhone delivers and my Redmi Note 10 doesn't. Nobody will accept that they've bought a phone to show off, so they're just making excuses."

    When I asked for proof for his strong claim, he started talking about evolution. "During ancient times, when humans weren't so civilized, they used to live in groups. Living in groups would better protect them from danger and also help them hunt more efficiently. Of course, there would be confusions and disputes, so these groups always had one intelligent leader who'd tell the members of the group what to do. As time went by, these leaders slowly started to allocate more resources to them, like more food than other members. But the other members didn't rebel against this because he was a good leader and helped them hunt really efficiently. But other members of the group would get envious. Envious of the power and privilege of the leader. This is just human nature. They wanted to be like the leader, to look like the leader, to talk like the leader, to eat like the leader, etc. Since then, humanity has come a long way in civilization, but that ape-mindset has never gone. It's human nature to try to be like those who have a higher status than them. Today, people see the celebrities, the elites and rich people use iPhones. So they buy iPhones too, just to feel like they're among the elites and to show off how elite they are."

    I said that his theory just looked at a few aspects of human nature and there can be thousands of theories drawn to explain why people buy iPhones, but they're not equally convincing. He asked me to come up with another theory that explains the people buying iPhones. Of course, I couldn't weave out a big theory like his in a few seconds, so I just commented that his theory wasn't convincing. He then said that I was rejecting science and I'm therefore deluded. When I asked for proof that I'm deluded, he just said that he's a doctor and has studied psychiatry. If I want to know more about my delusion, I need to do a Psychiatry course. I couldn't help but give up.

    I know that you can't always justify your purchases with features. There are a lot of people who think that iPhones have less features than Android ones, but still buy it, because they just love it. And comparing specs doesn't always act as a good defense anyway, because most gimmicks that come with premium phones in general aren't something most buyers care about. At least from my experience, most iPhone users buy iPhones not because they have more features or they bring something more useful to the table, but simply because they love it.

    You don't always need a reason to like something, but here I go: what's your reason to buy an iPhone? Is my brother right all the way? Or he's just a duffer?

    Hopefully, I'm not deluded. But losing my mind already. Thanks!

    Edit: Just noticed I didn't include a part of his opinion. He said that people like us, whose income is $20K p.a. are just irrational if they buy iPhones, and are basically insecure. I also live in a place where Androids are extremely common, and iMessage isn't a problem. I'm from India, so Indian perspectives are welcome. My brother has a habit of shaving off arguments to say "I said that for Indians, and life is wildly different here than from the West where things are different."

    What keeps me coming back to iPhone, when Android tempts me...

    Posted: 26 Feb 2022 09:28 AM PST

    I have owned more Android devices than Apple devices, but have been with Apple since the XR (XR, 11 Pro, 12 Mini and now 13 Pro). It seems every year when a new Android device is released, I get the itch to switch (#bars), LOL. This year it's obviously the S22 Ultra (Note). I have been watching YouTube reviews and seriously considering switching back, but then I remember what pulled me to iPhone and keeps me here:

    The updates: I know Samsung has been doing better, and Google always has timely updates, but the way Apple releases updates, and has timely bug fix updates is unmatched. Knowing that my phone could easily last another 4-5 years with support is comforting.

    Tech Support: After I had my XR for about 7 months, the silent switch on the side of the device would not stay locked in position, so it was wiggling between the two positions, so in my pocket it felt like I was receiving notifications because it would give me a haptic vibration when it slid to the vibrate position (really annoying). I took it into the Apple store and the tech support guy fiddled with it for a few minutes and then said "this can't be fixed in the store." Of course that upset me because I have previously dealt with Samsung and having to mail my device in for repairs, but he quickly eased my worries and said "I'll go get you a new device from the back." I was surprised, because like I said, when I had the Samsung, I had an issue with the charging port and Samsung wanted me to mail it in (understandable due to them not having physical support centers), but also couldn't tell me if it would be covered at their expense, or how long they would keep it.

    Family: If it weren't for most of my family having iPhones, and us all using Apple Music together ($15 a month for 6 devices is a good deal) I might be more likely to want to switch back. iPhones work mostly flawlessly by itself, and how they interact with other iPhones i.e. AirDrop, iMessage, etc. is very convenient.

    Accessories: It's no surprise that everywhere you look there's multiple accessories for iPhone. Of course other phones have accessories as well, but walk into any store and you are more likely to find a much wider selection of accessories for the iPhone over any other device.

    These are a few reasons I have stayed with Apple, if you have any to add, please do because I might not have considered it.

    TL;DR I have stayed with Apple for updates, tech support etc. add your reasons for being loyal, I'd like to hear what others enjoy about their experience.

    PSA: If you add a keyboard for your second language, you will get emoji suggestions for words from your second language even if you’re typing in english. (see example inside)

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:08 PM PST

    For example, I added a Hindi keyboard. Now whenever I type a hindi word in english, I get emoji suggestion. If I type "mirchi" which translates to red chilli, I get suggestion for 🌶.

    So if you type your second language in english alphabet, add your language keyboard anyway and you'll get suggestions for emojis.

    Unfortunately, doesn't work with every word or every keyboard. My third language doesn't get a suggestion.

    PSA: Apple Card Family Sharing caused rapid battery drain on family's iPhones and Apple Watches

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 04:54 AM PST

    I had an Apple Card for a year without issues. Then started noticing iPhone XS and Apple Watch Series 5 batteries dying oddly quickly. Watch was extreme, it went from two days on a charge to 4-5 hours tops. My spouse noticed same with iPhone 11 and watch. Then our son with iPhone 11 Pro and watch.

    Researching, I found posts blaming Family Sharing. The timing fit when we went to family sharing and starting having issues. So I contacted Apple support for help. They assured me that wasn't it.

    Reset both to factory defaults. No joy. Reluctantly paid for new iPhone battery (max 87% and I am looking to keep it a while longer). No change.

    Canceled our son's card and he said it helped noticeably. Told support. Still assured it wasn't it. They kept trying other things and talking about turning off background app refresh - no, I'm not giving up features just close this case. Frustrated, I finally canceled both remaining Apple Cards.

    Problem solved. It's been a month with no issues for the three of us. My son signed up for his own card and it is working fine. My other son always had his own card and never had any of these issues.

    Global Smartphone Revenue Hits Record ~$450 Billion in 2021; Apple Captures Highest Ever Share in Q4 2021

    iPhone 13 users, How much screen time do you get on a full charge ?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 01:18 PM PST

    I got the 13 pro a month ago and battery has been dismal, just gives 3 ~ 4 hrs per 100% charge. Scoured the net for battery saving tips and turned off all of options from settings, must've improved by 30 mins, nothing noticeable ! Ran diagnostics with some support and no issues came up.

    Edit: thanks for all your replies :) something is terribly wrong with my phone, Unsure if I got sold a refurbished one. Off to apple store, hoping to get an exchange.

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 09:03 PM PST

    Do you guys think that Apple might release new Spring cases during the event? Does that happened before or they will just release it? Hoping for a starlight/white silicone case.

    Features that I'd love to see (From a longtime Android user that has switched to iOS)

    Posted: 26 Feb 2022 07:29 AM PST

    The iPhone 12 was the first iPhone I bought. I was waiting for the 13 Pro to come out before I switched, but I was gifted an apple watch before it release so I bought the 12 and upgraded to the iPhone 13 Pro. I was specifically waiting for it because of the 120hz refresh rate screen. I was using a One Plus 8 Pro before that, and before those were Pixels, Samsungs, HTCs, and a Motorola droid.

    I love using iOS. I have an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro as well. I love the continuity between devices. However coming from Android (and still using one as a secondary phone) there are features that I'd love for iOS to improve upon so I can move over to the platform and leave Android.

    I know I can email Apple about features, which I've done it the past, but I believe social media provides more visibility for wanted features.

    Most of these features are things that iOS has but I wish it was better implemented.

    Features I'd like to see improved: * The back gestures * The implementation of this inconsistent and is not universally available. Sometimes it's available in some screens in apps and in some apps in general. On Android, if I'm in an app, I can swipe across from the edge of my screen to go back a menu or back to a previous page. On iOS this is inconsistent to me. The back gesture is from left to right only and the gesture is not universally available. When it's not available you have to rely on accessing the back button from the top left of your screen. It's a stretch to reach for. This leads me to my next request. * Improved reachability mode. * I think this is a great feature but accessing it is wonky. You have to be careful about how you trigger it or you can unintentionally launch an app from your dock or trigger some event within the app you have on your screen.

    New feature I'd like to see: * Multitasking * I believe that this has been one of the most requested features. It's strange that iOS hasn't implemented this but it is available on iPad OS. I believe that Apple wants you to use an iPad for multitasking and an iPhone for regular use. However, in my use case, I don't always have my iPad on me and not having this feature on the phone is limiting. * Here are some examples of where it would be useful for me: * Setting up bill pay in my bank. * The other day I was trying to add a biller's account to my bank but I had to keep jumping between my bank and my biller's screen to copy and paste the information. Could this be fixed by the biller having better services on their end so that my bank can autoload their info? Yes, but I find this is more of a luxury that companies have and it isn't common for a few of my billers. * Looking up news about a certain stock while looking at it's chart in my stock trading app. * Signing in via confirmation email * Video on top half and reddit on the bottom. * Sport on top third or half and reading the stats on the bottom.

    Do you think ICloud will ever have a backup option instead of a sync?

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 04:22 AM PST

    I would love if apple allowed me to offload all my data and take it off my iPhone to free up space

    Yes I know ICloud does essentially this, but I'd love to be able to delete something from my iPhone without deleting it from the cloud

    ive found a way to actually lock apps

    Posted: 25 Feb 2022 05:50 AM PST

    my biggest problem was with photos. so what i did is:

    1- go to screen time

    2- enable app limits

    3- choose your apps

    4- set 1 minute allowed time

    5- and most importantly, enable screen time passcode

    6- then, return to app limit and enable block app

    7- BOOM!
