  • Undercharged: iPhone 14 owners complain about lower battery endurance

    Mine is at 87% and dies so quickly every morning.
     Can’t make it to lunch with more than 50% charge. 

    I wake up around 8ish and by the time I leave the house I’m down to 85% battery from being at 100% when waking up. 

    Also won’t charge past 80% in the car from the standard Tesla USBC outlet.  Says it’s too hot but the AC is set at 72°


    14 Pro already down to 89%. Bought right at launch a year ago. Never saw this drastic decline with any of my previous phones (I get a new one every year).

  • Missing message issues plague Mail users in macOS Catalina

    Problem is, how do you know mail isn’t missing? With tens of thousands of emails, it’s impossible to know which ones might be gone. 

    I initially thought it was a database issue because searches were coming up empty. But now I’m scared those emails might be gone. Just went through a corporate demerger and emails can’t just go missing. I understand not showing up on the local machine but to delete from my exchange server just because I upgraded? Just because Mac OS kept sending me notifications to update? 

    What a fucking mess

  • Hands on with HomePod & HomePod mini's new features in software update 17

    I’ve had a ticket opened with Apple for the last two weeks. My HomePods are sending and downloading tons of data since iOS 17. Like 2-3GB every 2 hours for each HomePod. 
    My home internet use reached 4TB for September and they only updated on the 22nd. This makes them unresponsive since they are so busy sending so much data. I have 19 HomePods and I had to unplug the ones not in use just to use the ones in my bedroom

    Siri-HomeKit has been a dumpster fire for our family since inception. Since iOS 17, our Siri capable devices are erroneously waking more often than ever before, even though we've not removed the requirement for "Hey". I can issue a command in the kitchen, and hear the response in the garage, 50 feet away on the other side of a closed door. I can ask Siri what time it is and get "Sorry, I'm having trouble connecting to the Internet". Two seconds later, I can ask for tomorrow's weather, and get it.

    I understand that distributed databases are difficult to manage, but Apple should have understood that too and implemented a layer of checks to prevent Siri from looking like an idiot.

  • New iPad requires USB-C Apple Pencil adapter for pairing & charging

    tht said:
    That image doesn't make sense. Doesn't it need to have a USBC male side to slot into the female side of an iPad? The other side is Lightning to stick a 1st gen Pencil in.
    You are right. You’ll probably need a USB C cable to go between this dongle and the iPad
