well battery life is still shit.
also now my LTE doesn’t work as well as before. I have to constantly switch to 4G for cell data to work.
my coworkers iPhone is the same too after she updated her phone.
Thanks Tim Apple.

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.

Replay album is easy.
click.
then click the right side button. (Make sure there isn’t a 1, that will replay the same song)
Playing the next album I dunno

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.

stop wearing skinny jeans!
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.

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.
A week later the SE rumor mill was going crazy

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 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.

Work sent me an 11 Pro for the quarantine. Wow it's heavy vs my Pixel 3. Waiting for activation to get done. Haven't rocked an iPhone since the 4.

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?

If they made an iPhone SE Plus with a 5.5" screen they would have taken my money.

Is AppleCare+ worth it for $79 over 2 years since it's $29 for a screen fix? Don't most of those places fix screens for $100?

it also increases the warranty from 1 year to i think 2 years.
only covers 2 incidents in 24 months.
i dunno, i got it for peace of mind, but i wish AppleCare was still valid on my 7 Plus, I would ask apple to fix the broken microphone

ohh yea, its $29 to fix the screen IF you have AppleCare+
If you dont have it, then pricing starts at $129 for a screen replacement.
https://support.apple.com/iphone/rep...en-replacement
So if your daughter breaks the screen once and the phone has AppleCare+ then its $108. If she breaks it again then its only an additional $29.

ooo iPhone SE supports WiFi 6 and Express cards.
Does not have the Ultra wideband U1 chip
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.

The SE looks like an amazing device and an amazing value. A phone faster than anything from Samsung for $399.
$200 off iPhone SE at Walmart if you're upgrading

I have Wireless CarPlay, it's dope. For $130 adapter might be worth it

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.

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.
