  • Apple Pay Cash money transfers launch in US on iPhones, iPads running iOS 11.2

    aplnub said:
    Im on the east coast USA, I updated to 11.2 on Saturday - all was good but it took out ALL my cards from apple pay, & I had to re-enter them all. I have 2 factor enabled, bit i am NOT seeing any sign of apple pay cash in the wallet.
    Go into Settings > Wallet and turn it on. 


    Nope, that doesn't fix or help anything if it isn't available yet.

  • Apple said to ditch home button for Face ID with thinner bezeled 2018 iPad Pros, but don't...

    iPhone 5S to iPhone X user here.

    Yes, I kept my 5S for 4 years and got the iPhone X on the first day due to 3:05am preorder.

    I held the screens side by side and adjusted brightness to max and min and evaluated brightness, color and color shift upon angled viewing.

    This may put me in the minority but: 
    1. iPHone X is better, but just barely so,
    2. the colors are richer in the OLED display, but just slightly so.
    3. the OLED is brighter, but barely,
    4. the blue tint was so incredibly faint on the OLED panel that I just didn't care, I could tell it was a bluer tint, but it was just that a faint tint and I could still read the screen, watch a movie, in fact, depending on what is on the screen it is hard to see the blue tint, if it is a white screen you can tell but in a movie it is very hard to decern a blue tint.
    5. overall, it was barely better than my 5S, I know every manufacturer is in a spec race but if i Could have the X without the OLED and Save $150 I would do it. 

    I have to imagine that if I feel that way about my 5S then the difference with the 6, 6S, 7, and 8 must be even closer in comparison. Bring on the Face ID. 

    (As an aside to the topic of this post/thread, I love the iPhone X, I wish I didn't wait this long to update my phone. I'm glad that I have 'the best' screen, but I don't have the same visual quality demands for my iPad)

  • Apple suppliers now prepping AMD Vega video cards for upcoming iMac Pro

    I hope that everyone that takes to the forums to bemoan the lack of professional mac will step up and buy this iMac Pro.

  • Song meant to spoof car audio systems climbs into top 50 on Apple's iTunes charts

    This is really topical for me. My wife and I have been planning on an aftermarket Airplay headunit. She just rented a car for 4 days and returned home last night complaining about Carplay. 

    Her number 1 was that it autoplayed the first song on her list, she was infuriated which is unusual for her.
    Number 2, she said it regularly wouldn't read a text, just 'dead air' when it should have been reading a text.
    Finally, she said that the music shuts off when you try and do anything on your phone, which of course texting-while-driving-is-a-problem, but even if a passenger was playing music they couldn't do anything else b/c it would stop the music.  
    Of course, she had a map issue as well, Apple Maps didn't re-route her around construction it just kept sending her the wrong way...she had to use Waze/Google to get to her location and Waze showed the construction and routed correctly. 

    She says she doesn't want it in her car now.

    I don't know, but it sounds awful,
