Ugh. I knew I shouldn’t have updated my iPhone 7 Plus from iOS 12 to iOS 13.
battery life has gone to shit and my phone constantly runs warm.
kind of had to update because my camera stopped working.
Guess I’ll be finally upgrading my phone this year... thanks Tim Apple

my coworkers iPhone is the same too after she updated her phone.
^^^ I can't edit my original post. Question update. How can I create an emoji from a pic I have? I can make a small pic. But just asking if there are better ways.
With Apple Music how can I configure it to either replay an album after the last song or play another album without me needing to do something? What it does now is it stops playing after the last song of the album is played. This is a huge pain in the ass when driving.
So ever since the last update, or the one before that, I'll be playlist on my run and after a random song it iwll randomly stop playing music. Random is the key word.
Let me preface by saying I haven't been involved with the hardware side of that in a while now so I honestly have no idea whatsoever.
People will notice that sometimes vendors unintentionally leak things by virtue of showing cases or even screen protectors for unreleased products. In this case it looks like it was Apple themselves, but looks like the store listing was changed to remove the 'SE' compatibility.
I like the larger screen size of the Max, but many want a smaller form factor. Just my opinion as a consumer - if Apple is working on one, that would make a ton of sense.
I like the larger screen but hate the larger size of the phone.
but i can and will bear with it.
also my iPhone 7 Plus was in dire need of replacement. (phone stopped working, camera stopped working, notifications on some apps stopped working) but for some miraculous reason it all started working again
So for now i can hold off until this years iPhone 11S Pro Max or 12 or whatever they call it.
...many want a smaller form factor. Just my opinion as a consumer - if Apple is working on one, that would make a ton of sense.
I want a new SE/smaller iPhone. I usually carry the phone in the front pants pocket with a thin wallet or in a suit jacket outside pocket. Other phones are too ridiculously large to fit in pants pockets.
My iPhone SE's battery is also down to 88% battery max capacity now, and has to be charged every 1-1/2 to 2 days even without much use of the phone.
The devices relatively last longer and have continued support, which helps with customer retention.
Logically too, a more affordable device will be a better seller, especially if the feature set isn’t all that different - look at the XR.
We are very compartmentalized and have no idea what’s going on outside of our projects. My coworker wanted an SE too, but needed to upgrade phones. He was holding out for a long time (6S) and didn’t care about camera or the screen. So he begrudgingly got the 11.
Silver lining of this Covid-19 is that some companies are starting to add Apple Pay support. Publix, the biggest grocery store in the southeast added it because of it. They were the place I shopped at most often that didn't have it, they had been holding out for years and added their own proprietary scan barcode on their app payment system

I just discovered today while buying emergency provisions (Fritos, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies ) that Ralphs, a Kroger-owned supermarket chain in SoCal, doesn't have Apple Pay.
I had to insert a credit card instead, and the cashier seemed surprised that I carried physical credit cards, too.
Most other large chain markets and stores in Los Angeles have Apple Pay.

I think i figured out the root of my problems. The microphone on my phone is broken.
About 2 weeks ago when I was trying to make a phone call, the phone was making really loud crackling noises.
Now people can't hear me on phone calls and no sound is able to be recorded in any app.
Not sure how or why that would have affected the photo side of the camera app or stop notifications from working. but it is what it is.
Just glad my phone is able to get by for now and i can take photos. I use my Powerbeats Pro to make phone calls.
Not even sure how it broke, I haven't dropped it. Only thing is maybe Apple fuxed something up when they replaced the battery in December 2018?
The iPhone SE also supports NFC with reader mode as all modern iPhones do, plus Express Cards with power reserve. This feature, also included in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, allows for authentication of Express Transit cards even when an iPhone's battery is exhausted. It will also be a useful feature for the "CarKey" function that Apple has in the works, which will let an iPhone serve as an alternative to a traditional car key in vehicles that support the feature.
So I ordered a case and realized I forgot my Apple ID password and can't get the damn reset info for whatever reason. On hold with Apple for 25 mins and hung up. Can I buy this phone as a guest like I did the case. I don't want any snags tomorrow morning when I pre-order.

Ok I checked out as a guest. Order went out with no glitch. I'll get it next Friday, black 128GB.
My kid is under her mom's TMo plan. As I don't have access to their upgrades and I didn't see any deals, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. With all the disappointment of quarantines killing holidays, I wanted to make sure at least her getting the phone didn't go with a glitch.
Bought my wife an Apple watch. I must admit it is nice. Been considering switching to iPhone when my next up grade is up. Love my Pixel 3 but not much that's been released lately excites me.

My job gave me an iPhone 11 Pro but I still prefer my Pixel 3. I just work better with the Android OS. I only asked for the phone through work because the Pixel battery took a shit and drains quickly.
I'm hoping I can hold off and wait for the iPhone 12 Pro Max (or whatever it will be called)
Rumors are looking nice.
5G
120hz ProMotion display
smaller notch
starting 128GB storage.
larger battery 4400mah
3x optical zoom (i like the 52mm equivalent focal length, might like it if its around 85mm thou)
LiDAR

I prefer the Android phone user experience but yes, I have trapped myself in Apple's walled garden.
Not to be a Pixel dick rider, but their earbuds that came with the phone are the best for me. It takes an act of God to fall out. Every other earbud I've tried including my iPhone's all slip out easily. The Pixel's allows you to adjust the diameter inside the ear.
