    3 days? About time Apple makes their (very) expensive Watch last well beyond a full day me thinks! That was basically a complete non-starter for me as I'd rather just stick w/ an inexpensive Fitbit and just use my iPhone for basically everything else I might care about that the Watch otherwise...

    Sounds like more of that "deep integration" and "unparalleled experience" spreading good cheer to iPads then, LOL... ;):P:laugh::laugh::laugh: _Man_

    Since they say all this... and puts Apple Music at the top of that list... maybe they'll someday (maybe by the time of ATV8K Gen 3? :lol:) get to stuff like this for that real/truly "deep integration" and "unparalleled experience" (that doesn't still require use of a separate display just for...

    Wonder if the oft recurring lower price since the Spring Amazon Prime Day sale was largely a test pilot plan (of sorts) for this before they officially drop the MSRP for the new release launch... _Man_

    LOL... guess I shoulda held off buying the extra ATV4K (partly using a bunch of BB GCs I figured I might not have enough use for a long time) when it went on sale (at this new price level) the 1st time back in spring -- it's still new-in-box, unopened... :lol: Did they actually (pre?)announce...

    Seems like it's not just the 14 (PM or not) though. There are plenty of comments at your linked page about people having what sounds like the same issue w/ older phones too... plus TonyD said likewise for his 12 PM. _Man_

    Is this a relatively new issue for you guys? Maybe it's a bug introduce in a recent iOS release? I haven't experienced it at all on my 13 Pro (although I use auto-brightness and normally have the display fairly low, but rarely, if ever, goes down to zero), but I'm still running v15.4.1 though...

    I usually only care when I start coming close enough to the Google Drive cap (for free account) to trigger a Gmail alert/warning. That's at least partly because I do use a fairly substantial portion of the free 15GB for stuff other than email. I suppose I can always just create another Google...

    Not sure about Sam, but in my case, I have 3 email accounts managed/accessed via the iOS Mail app. One is actually Yahoo mail that I normally only use for fantasy baseball and mostly receives notifications and such (that really usually don't need to be "read" per se). Another is a Gmail...

    That reminds. I still need/want to get Halide for my 13 Pro! Forgot about it since I haven't really been shooting anything during the pandemic... but plan to change that this autumn... Thanks, Sam! _Man_

    Apple fall event 2022

    Same here... although I have the 13 Pro. Just haven't found myself shooting much of anything during this pandemic... but I do plan to change that some starting this autumn and may even start lugging my mirrorless Nikon Z6 again, not just use the 13 Pro. For somewhat more casual (or quick)...

    Does your company discount apply to all the lines on unlimited? I also get similar discount, but last I considered possibly migrating to unlimited, it looked like the discount might end up only applying to my line alone perhaps because of how they started allowing different unlimited tier for...

    Well, there are 6(!) of us (including my mother) on this shared plan though. Most months it's just 2 (maybe 3) persons (mainly my mother and my son) using the vast majority of the typically 15-22GB/month usage -- the rest of us might usually use anywhere from 1-4GB each mostly avg-ing <=2GB...

    What I find really annoying is we can pay more to opt for an unlimited plan, but still get less in some ways (like substantially throttled speed/throughput that's supposedly only good enough for DVD quality streaming whatever that really means, LOL)... :P Currently, we have their legacy 16GB...

    Apple fall event 2022

    Yeah, hopefully... although I'm still on a legacy data share plan, not unlimited data, so the offer's no good to me -- they require moving to an unlimited data plan as usual for all such deals nowadays. Maybe by the time I'm ready to switch to unlimited data (or they make me some offer I can't...

    LOL! Is it Google or Redbubble that interprets Python lovers as conservatives? As soon as I went there and poked around a couple such items, I get the usual gmail ad for Redbubble's "I'm a Conservative" T-shirt (and bunch of other presumably (very loosely) relevant merchs) -- yes, I checked...

    In thinking a bit more, maybe they should've (made the color darker and) left out the actual quote to be more (appropriately) subtle... and also, not be potentially in-your-face offensive to some who may not care for Python-type humor, LOL -- leave the actual quote to (my own quiet amusement...

    Hmmm... This one claims to be MagSafe compatible and not too expensive, LOL... but the color doesn't look dark enough, hehheh... :lol: https://www.redbubble.com/i/iphone-case/French-Taunter-by-galetea/22089057.M4J4F Never heard of them before. No idea if it's as good/protective as Spigen or...

    :D:D:D Tempting to get a new elderberry colored case for my 13 Pro, if they have one for that, LOL, but I'm probably too cheap to spend ~$50 just for the fun, but rather obscure, convo piece -- maybe if the design has something else a bit more obvious to point to Monty Python and/or the Holy...

    All such programs/services most likely make upgrades, etc easier, more convenient (or at least claim to anyway), but also more expensive (at least in the longer run) I imagine. You're basically paying for the added ease/convenience and whatever else (like required AppleCare) -- one could, of...

    Apple fall event 2022

    No idea if there's anything you can do about that since you're using Apple's upgrade program, which might automatically trigger that, but as I noted in the past, one can avoid such activation/upgrade fee (for upgrading phone on existing line) by buying from whomever other than the carrier and...

    So I guess "Dynamic Island" is essentially their solution for hiding/make-less-obtrusive (or just trying to make you forget) what must still remain of the notch? Does it have any real/actual functionalities and/or make anything actually easier or more ergonomic? I'm not really seeing it in...

    But the current phones w/ current iOS already does something (at least close to) like that though. It doesn't always work perfectly (or maybe quite as quickly as desired), but would the new phones w/ this new (behind-the-scenes?) mode really work that much better (unless they add some...

    I'll add this. I'm definitely very surprised my iPhone 13 Pro (bought right around its release last year) still indicates 100% for battery health/max capacity and still seems to last me 2-plus days on each full, overnight/several-hour recharge... although I'm sure my not being out much has...

    What??? It's coming up fast, and we still ain't got much, if any, rumors posted around here yet??? :lol: I suppose that's good since I don't really wanna be enticed into considering another upgrade so soon, LOL... _Man_
