Welcome to capitalism. Like the guys in the articles, I use my AirPods every day. I would guess a lot of us replace our phones every year or two as well.

I do what I can for the environment and all, but I'm not exactly a vegan or anything.

Those lithium ions are so small it's amazing they last as long as they do but I am using Earpods right now and the damn things keep getting pulled out of my ears.

AirPods will be one of the first devices to get solid state batteries when they start being produced in significant quantities

Years and years ago I thought, why do I need $50 headphones, these $xx ones work just fine.

That became $100, which became $200, then $300...

Not for everyone, that's for sure. I probably won't get these.

Probably.

People out there with $700+ IEMs scoffing at these, I bet.

The responses that I am getting from Apple about cellular signal issues with dual SIM seem to suggest that VoLTE (“Voice and Data”) must be turned on.

Is that everybody else’s experience?

Do you find that the cellular signal problems disappear when you've turned on Voice and Data for both eSIM and physical SIM?

5G iPhones with Qualcomm chips this year?

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/16/appl...urces-say.html

Apple, Qualcomm settle royalty dispute, and Qualcomm is spiking

Apple and Qualcomm have settled their royalty dispute, the companies announced in a press release.

The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm as well as a chipset supply agreement, suggesting that future iPhone may use Qualcomm chips.

On the current iOS, there seems to be tons of cat emojis, and two legit dog emojis. Why is that? Considering the popularity of dogs, why aren't there more dog emojis?

Omg... remind me to never do the “shake to undo trash” for email.

iOS undeleted over a weeks worth of deleted emails
those emails weren’t even deleted today. I deleted them the day they came in.

i just wanted to undelete 1 email I accidentally deleted.

If you're testing 12.3, you should report that using the Feedback app. I think it's entirely reasonable that people should expect that email could be un-deleted one after the other, with the first shake returning the last deleted mail, the second shake the next newest deleted mail, and so on.

I think they'd listen to that, but until you said something I really don't believe it's occurred to us.

This is a good time to be making little changes like that.

Who here is apart of the iOS beta program? Do you actually submit feedback? I'm excited for iOS 13 beta release in June.

nah not on the beta. I don’t bother with them.

i should be on the latest iOS, but this isn’t the first time it’s happened.
i rarely shake to undo to undelete emails, but I did it a few years ago and it did the same thing.

I think i posted it here too.



yup posted 12/23/2016 when I was on iOS 10

i just did it for the first time on iOS10 and it undeleted all the emails I deleted for like the past month!!!

anyone else come across this?

PITA having to delete all that stuff again

Yes, I submit feedback constantly, to the point that when somebody responds I can occasionally perceive the individuality, even though they do not sign their responses.

You'll get responses after a beta firmware increment, saying that changes were made based on your feedback, and asking whether you like the change, or asking whether an issue you reported has been fixed by the change.

Now...having said that...the issue of the physical SIM turning off turned out to be the fault of Xfinity, not iOS. If you're on an Xfinity WiFi signal of any kind, private or public, then Xfinity wants your physical SIM to reduce the Verizon cellular signal to zero. Who knows why. It probably has to do with their contract with Verizon and now discovering that the Xfinity Mobile service is too popular and they're encountering charges.

The iPhone behaves as if the physical SIM is turned on, and calls and iMessages go through Xfinity WiFi instead of Verizon. But it's just annoying seeing a zero-bar cellular signal on the physical SIM while T-Mobile will still show bars of service for the eSIM even though T-Mobile is also using Xfinity WiFi for its calls and iMessages.

I usually tend to send feedback, quite often. As I update weekly. When iOS 12 Beta was released, it had a ton of bugs. I honestly can't wait for iOS 13 beta. I heard the release date is June 5

I do not know anybody working with iOS 13, and it's May 6th already. The betas of different versions of iOS 12 are still out there (they're on iOS 12.3 right now).

Considering it's May 6th now, I wonder if it isn't ambitious to think iOS 13 would be out there a month from now.

I'm on 12.3 beta as well right now. I tend to follow upcoming release dates, and this page has usually been pretty accurate.

Oh!!

That's a "preview."

There's no beta out there, so it won't be a "release" yet.

Unless there's some revolution in the works. LOL.... I guess that can happen.

If Jon Snow can be a Targaryen, I guess there's a chance there is a secret iOS 13 beta team that's been working on it for six weeks.

Fuck Wi-Fi is buggy in iOS 12.2, again my data is maxed out halfway through the month. Again it's not joining my wifi network at home, and not joining any of the multitude of wifi networks at work either. I have to go in and manually join the network.

Now that you mention it, my wife and I have been blowing through data. I'm on wifi at work, while she isn't. But yeah...interesting. I'll check her phone tonight and see if it's connecting

I think they mean business, and I think that 12.3 is going to have both cellular and Wifi as good as it is going to get with the Intel modems. :-(

Really weird case. What Apple does with taking money off the top of app subscriptions is absolutely abuse of their position.

It's related to their need to keep control of everything and try to make sure that there are no fly by night developers doing things that should not be done.

In Apple's corporate mind, it comes down to security.

Without a fiduciary penalty for being in the App Store, they would have to spend a lot more money and time on people who would keep going through applications to be sure that they were secure and worked right.

I have absolutely no doubt that Apple charges a lot. I really have no idea how much it is, but I have no doubt that it's a lot.

On the other hand, charging enough to eliminate the fly by night, risky developers might be a good thing.

I've an open mind about it and I'm interested in the case, although I probably err a little on Apple's side.

I don't play games or worry about fancy changes to the iOS interface, and I want things as fast and secure as possible.
