  • TikToker shocked by high Verizon bill over 'free' Apple Watch promo

    MplsPMplsP
    Not surprised at all. My daughter had something very similar happen when she went to a Verizon store to get a new phone. They sold her a ‘free’ iPad with cellular service. Completely glossed over/lied about the fact that it was a cellular iPad that came with a 2 year contract. 

    You can say that people should read the contract and while technically true the reality is that it’s several pages of fine print legalese that’s difficult to understand and the relevant parts are often obscured ¾ of the way in. When a consumer comes in and a salesperson says ‘this is the contract. It just means xxx, sign here’ people take them at their word.  

    Also, people on AI know that cellular watches are marked, but the average consumer doesn’t, and iPads aren’t really marked at all.

  • iOS 17 rumored to turn an iPhone lock screen into a smart home display

     Could be useful but I’d rather have a nightstand/clock mode. 

    Completely agree with the others- we have a system by Schlage/Nexia (now Trane Home) at home and a HomeKit system at our cabin. Enrolling devices is easier with HomeKit but the Schlage system is so much more powerful and useful.

    Hey guys, don't be excited that something cool is potentially coming, just complain like morons that it wasn't here years ago. Fucking negative nellies.
    Yay! HomeKit is expensive and half baked with primitive programming compared to the competition but we get a new control on the Lock Screen. I’m SO STOKED!

    is that better?

  • iPhone 15 certified cable requirement expected to create high USB-C charger demand

    MplsPMplsP
    so apple stops including the charger because "everyone already has one and we want to reduce waste." Then they switch to USB C but not just USB C, USB C with specific requirements that people likely don't have so now they are required to buy a new charger for their $1000 phone because Apple is to effin' cheap and hypocritical to actually include one.

    Can’t wait for this. My 14 Pro takes a blink of an eye to open apps. Unacceptable.
    Well said! I’m constantly waiting for my iPhone 13 Pro to finish tasks. It wastes at least 650 milliseconds of my day. 

    Clearly that Geekbench score under 3000 is the only thing left to improve with iPhones
