Yeah, not sure that provision of USB-C only lightning cable is a good idea. I was not aware. They probably should provide both types or at least an adapter on top. Some of us (like me) would love to have a(nother) USB-C cable, but yeah, it's probably not mainstream enough for it to be the...

@DaveF, that was why I upgraded (myself and my firstborn) to the regular 11 last year -- on top of those diffs, the 11 Pro was actually also somewhat smaller (and smaller than new 12/Pro/Max) and had modestly less battery life as a result. Granted, the regular 11 didn't use AMOLED, but I don't...

At least in my area, it's probably mostly just lack of sufficient cell towers. It's only moderately better if I step outside the house -- at most 1 extra bar -- but waaay better as soon as I walk down to the nearest major avenue. Probably a NIMBY thing that prevents more/newer/better cell...

What my family (and actually, most everyone in my neighborhood) can really use is improved general/LTE coverage here in my neighborhood near downtown Brooklyn. It's kinda nuts I can't get a reliable signal in my house -- mostly just 1 bar (that occasionally drops out) on our various iPhones and...

Maybe I should too... now that my right side "deficit" probably sets me back too much to do much w/ learning the violin/viola -- bowing (at least w/ such smaller instruments) is a pretty significant issue now. :huh: OR I guess I could pick up the cello perhaps -- I do actually have a pretty...

Don't really care about 5G myself at least for foreseeable/near future -- just hope the tech won't drain our batteries any faster despite not having use for it. I don't even do unlimited data, so don't need a faster way to blow thru our family's shared data, LOL -- we have 30GB/month (including...

Hmmm... I forgot the Pro is actually (modestly) smaller than the regular version and the Pro Max only slightly larger. I went w/ the regular 11 (128GB) instead of 11 Pro before mostly because it was substantially cheaper (and even has bigger screen) while not really sacrificing that much for my...

Again, you haven't actually addressed what I said. You (probably much like Sam) are reading stuff (as mere technophobia) into my response despite me clarifying some of the rationale I don't use FaceId (so far) -- along w/ my brief background info meant to dispel unwarranted, offhanded...

LOL. Nobody said Apple's a bad actor... though I haven't actually paid attention to how they deal w/ China instead of the USA when it comes to govt intrusions and such. Anyway, stuff come w/ bugs and often enough design flaws, including security holes. Apple isn't God. No need to worship at...

LOL. Some of us simply don't find some things compelling enough to bother (at this time) -- not claiming everyone else shouldn't or the like. But you do you w/ the cool kids' memes and what not... :rolleyes: _Man_

I said I haven't warmed to the idea of FaceId, not TouchId. But despite the attempt to allay concerns about TouchId, that wikipedia entry actually does not address all possible concerns. It addresses the biggest, most obvious ones, but not all. Anytime we use tech to do something new/more...

Just haven't warmed to the overall idea. With TouchId, I eventually accepted the tradeoff of potential privacy loss. With FaceId, it just seems like taking another somewhat different step in that direction while not seeming to be as good as TouchId. FaceId may be more convenient than TouchId...

Yeah, I don't care for FaceId either and would much rather have TouchId... though that didn't actually stop me from upgrading from the 7 to the 11 a year ago. I (still) don't use FaceId and just use a 6-digit passcode instead -- I'm mostly ok w/ that... as I'm actually not that crazy about...

I'm probably upgrading as well (maybe to the 12 Pro 256GB)... and probably giving my 11 to my nearly-14-yo -- she's been using my old 7 and could probably use a bigger phone to maintain better/longer viewing distance (as the smaller screen and viewing distance are probably bad for her eyes). My...
