  • Apple says the iPhone 15 battery is more durable than it originally thought

    Users of the iPhone 15 can see the cycle count for their device by opening Settings then selecting Battery, followed by Battery Health. 

    I'm not sure why mine would be any different and maybe this is just a mistake, but my 15Pro shows the cycle count under General -> About, and then at the very bottom. It doesn't show the cycle count under Battery or Battery Health. The "cycle count" linked to in the article shows it in the same place as I'm finding it.
    I don't see Cycle Count in General \ About on my 14Pro.

    After searching online, I find that this is evidently only in iPhone 15, and iPhone 14 and below have to install a PowerUtil shortcut to view.

  • Goldman Sachs regrets Apple Card, and is trying to escape the deal

    bart123ricbart123ric
    I did not get the Apple Card until after the savings account was available. But I find myself using the Card more and more. AND when I was traveling, I found that the card did NOT have foreign transaction fees, so it was a very valuable card for me.

    I would definitely recommend. Having said that, I hope AMEX is not the next vendor -- they have never been as widely used as Visa and Mastercard.

  • Apple's Touch ID is probably never coming back to iPhone

    With face masks going out of style, the impetus to revive Touch ID has diminished.
    And now FaceID works with masks (at a reduced security I think), but having it work at the grocery store has been a real help!

  • New online tool lets you see how far iPhone cameras have come in 15 years

    I was looking at the photos wondering why I wasn't seeing any difference in a lot of them, and then I read that these were not actually taken by the phones.  That site is not worth looking at. 👎

  • Apple Maps could serve advertising to users in 2023

    I jest, but this is going to continue unabated.  Apple has realized that increasing advertising in an incremental and methodical way is going to result in general acceptance by their customers and a crap ton of additional revenue and profit.  They know you'll learn to love being the product. 

    No doubt that is true.  Although I did recently stop using Accuweather because they began to show those really annoying full screen ads that you have to wait to load, and then you have to search the screen for the X or Close link, which change location with nearly every ad.
