    Battery life has been abysmal on my Series 6. Here's hoping.
    Yeah, the battery on my Ultra has gone a little wonky the last few weeks since 9.5. Hoping this fixes whatever caused that. A reboot helped a bit, but definitely seeing more drain than I had been seeing during the day.

  • You'll need an iPhone 14 to see all of AT&T's 5G network

    Here in Orange County, CA, I get regular AT&T 5G, not their 5G+ faster stuff. After reading the recent articles about how great T-Mobile has gotten, and knowing their 5G UC is supposed to be amazing, I tried the new 90 day test drive last week. My plain old AT&T 5G is 150mbps, T-Mobiles 5G UC was 41mbps. The upstream was abysmal, coming in at 2Mbps on T-Mobile vs 24mbps on AT&T. I have tested this in many areas around here and the results are similar. You really do get what you pay for. Very excited about this even faster midband and love that it will be restricted to only the latest devices.
    Odd. I just ran SpeedTest on the T-Mobile UC network.  Got 541 Mbps download, 30.5 Mbps upload. Wonder if it’s network congestion or setup.

  • European politicians on the cusp of requiring USB-C in all smartphones

    Still cannot for the life of me figure out how this helps anything…. How often are people switching back and forth between iPhone to Android/other?  I could maybe see if the turnover was 100% every year, but it’s not…. I’m just not seeing where the “excess e-waste” is coming in here?  Heck, I was actually okay with ditching the charging cables and bricks with iPhones - we’ve had a standard plug for quite a while now, I don’t need new charging equipment every couple of years if the old ones still work fine!

  • Early 2021 Apple Silicon iMac said to have 'A14T' processor

    diz_geekdiz_geek
    “...and Apple is already designing a new "A15" series.
    What?!?!  Already designing the A15?!?!  I’m shocked!  Shocked, I tell you!!!

    I though they just woke up one morning in September every year and said to themselves, “ya know, I think I’ll design the next generation A-series processor over lunch today...”.  :p

  • Review: 'Mario Kart Tour' on the iPhone and iPad falls short on nearly every front

    I said “uh, no thank you” when it wouldn’t even let me try the game without creating a Nintendo account. Fastest delete of an app I have ever done.
