On my M4 iPad

 

 

Omg about time! I love my Powerbeats pro and prefer them over my APP2, except for the ANC/transparency mode.

 

If the new one fixes the misaligned charging issue, slims the case, adds ANC and a transparency mode, I’ll be buying them day 1.

 

i really liked my Powerbeats pro too until i lost them

 

I keep my phones in pristine condition for years. I have a 13 PRO MAX I am perfectly happy with. My Daughter broke her phone (again) and the cheapest way to get her a new one was to wait until the 16 release & get a 15 PRO MAX to give her my 13.

It came yesterday & is virtually indistinguishable from the 13, it mostly fits in the case from the 13 (I have a 15 case coming as I did not know it would fit)

How the hell is there no real change between 2 generations of phones? (I know there is a "faster" chip & the island is smaller (except the front camera is outside the island is how it is smaller)

Just WTF?

 

I've been seeing memes like crazy saying this. Remember 5 years ago when smartphones were going to be nearly credit card thin.

 

To be honest the change from 12 to 15 wasn’t that significant.

yes I gained promotion/120hz and USBC. But that’s about it.
Dynamic Island is only a neat gimic to me.

 

After living with it for a few days it is slightly faster, the camera(s) are better & the screen is better. I would not make the change for these small improvements.

 

16 Pro Max is in the mail.

 

first time in my life i did not buy.

 

Ordered a ZAGG glass screen protector the 13th, site says 1-3 business days to ship, still "Awaiting Fulfillment" 20 minute hold (so far) waiting for a manager to explain what the fuck. (their process, the agent can't see why)

 

These new AI notification summaries are gonna be a fun new meme

 

I really don't like the summarizes. I read the messages as the person who sent them and its not a good look. Maybe its me.

 

There are plenty of videos on how to create and organize photos for my pics. I have not found one to change the default album where my pics are at. Meaning, when I take a photo today, it goes to my 202412 Folder. If I take one on January 1, 2025, my phone will create a new album 202501. How can I stop this because the phone will seem to create 12 folders in a year if I take one pic each month.

Basically, I want all my pics in one folder, by default.

TIA

 

Using the built in Photos app?

 

Yes, correct.

 

Can you send a screenshot? The photos app doesn't really have folders that are visible to us.

 

Below is a screenshot. Maybe I should say when I connect it to the PC. If there is a photo from Aug 2009, it will be in the 200908 folder, even if I keep one photo on my phone. How do I get rid of all these folders? The folders are created automatically, each time I take a pic. It makes management of photos difficult. Been an iPhone user for many years so my folder list is kind of long.

 

are you using a third party app like iexplore to connect to your iPhone?

those folders are not presented to end users in the apple ecosystem.

 

I'm just going to go ahead and say no you can't change the folder structure of how the iPhone stores photos on its internal storage

 

Nope, not using iExplorer. Just standard software with windows PC.

 

The iPhone's photo storage method was never designed to be manipulated or organized via Windows Explorer. So, it's still not designed for that.

 

you have an iPhone, lose the windows mindset

 

I'll go further and say that it's not designed to be manipulated in that way in MacOS, either, in regard to moving things in the File System view. It's not how the system works. So it's not like this is a thing with Windows machines only.

The Photos app and iCloud is where it's at.

On your Windows PC, go to iCloud and Sign in, and you can do a range of organizing from there. Download original files, Organize photos into Albums, etc.

 

What I don't get though, is why on what the 15th generation of iOS, if I click Mail from the context menu to send something, I STILL have to MANUALLY CLICK inside the To: field, in order to enter an email. This is COMPLETELY stupid lol. It should auto default into that field.

OK. Rant over.

 

^ One of the many situations where Android is superior. Unfortunately Apple still has better hardware so we continue to suffer.

IPad Air 4 has died. I tried all the forced reset. It will powerup, Apple logo, then go blank. Same when I plug it into iTunes. It will recognize. Apple logo starts up, then go blank, and closed my iTunes.

I searched YouTube and nothing match this situation. Any other ideas you can think of?

Adult owned, never dropped, almost a protective case.

No warranty left. I was thinking of taking to my Apple Store. I assume there will be a charge. Are iPads worth fixing? Does Apple charge a diagnostic fee, just to look?

 

Man can’t believe it was 18 years ago today. iPhone is old enough to vote

also didn’t realize Apple TV was that old too

I LOVE my first gen Powerbeats pro. But the charging misalignment issue is annoying. Also case is a chonker compared to AirPods or AirPods Pro 1/2.

i also miss the ANC and transparency mode of APP.


im probably going to pick up a pair, i love the earhooks. My AP/APP always slip out. Also after like2 hours my ears start hurting.

 

 

Agreed, I really enjoyed my powerbeats pro outside of the charging contact issue.. I'm so bummed i left them in a hotel restaurant on my last work trip

 

yeah so, THEY FIXED THIS!!!’ Someone must have seen my post!!! FKING FINALLYYYYYYY

 

I spoke too soon. There is still a certain thing where it doesn't go up to the To: field. It's like if you are on IG and click Share and click Mail.

Why'd they have to gimp it and not include Ultra Wideband chip for Precision Finding and no Wifi 7?

 

No MagSafe as well
