  • Video: The fastest way to unlock your iPhone X with Face ID

    Okay, now this is starting to get ridiculous. Why the HELL does Apple insist you waste time swiping up when unlocking the iPhone for the Home screen. MAKE THAT AN OPTION and one that we can easily turn OFF!  This would allow the other 99.9% of iPhone users to jump directly into their Home screen if no Apps are already open on the screen, WITHOUT swiping-up first when unlocking with Face-ID.  ***JUST DO IT!!**  Our hands shouldn't have to become sock-puppets just to unlock the damn phone!
    I get it about making it an option, but I use it to view my lock screen notifications all the time. Do you ALWAYS want instant home screen access and NEVER look just to see the time or notifications?  If so, I’d say you are in the minority.

    Also, swiping isn’t that big a deal and isn’t much of a time waste.  As I mentioned earlier, I spend less total time with Face ID than I did with TouchID not always reading my fingerprint on the first try.
    An option in settings to require a swipe to reach homescreen would be optimal.

  • Extreme test shows OLED iPhone X with 'dark mode' saves nearly 60% battery over 3 hours

    I don’t care, i carry battery pack.....i want a nice oled screen that’s why i paid premium for it.....YES
    Exactly.  The usage techniques must not be sacrificed for battery life.  Might as well just tell people to use their phones less.  

    However, it's a nice tool for those days when you may not be able to charge.  

    What does ios's low power mode do on iPhone X? 
    Doesn't do anything different. 

    Mail fetch, Hey Siri, background app refresh, automatic downloads, and some visual effects are reduced or turned off.

    An awesome reason to go OLED.
    But I still hate the blue color shift & the fact that OLED has 50% the life span of LCD.

    When I upgrade I am still going for the 8 Plus, from the 6 Plus
    Most people don't keep phones past a few years, max. 
    It's senseless to base your decision on LED degradation. 
    Speak for yourself. *Many* people I know keep their phones more than 2 years, especially now that the technology has matured some and the feature/OS improvements are less dramatic. By discounting the lifespan issue, you are implicitly arguing that the phone should be discarded after 2 years. At $1000 a pop, upgrading phones for me, my wife and kids every other year would mean spending $2000 per year on hardware alone.

    I have long wished iOS had a dark mode. Now with OLED screens there is even more of a need for it.
    Few years, not couple years. There's no way the lifespan of OLED is less than a few years. I can bet that even after 5 years it'll be fine. Technology is advancing so quickly that the iPhone X OLED display will look ancient compared to the ones we'll have in 5 years, even if you kept the X sealed in the box until then. 

    So OLED lifespan in phones is a joke. 

    OLED lifespan in TV's is a bigger deal, since some people keep TV's for more than a generation.

  • Tips: Bring back iOS app management to the Mac with iMazing 2.5.1

    I'll tell you one thing that's not going away any time soon...iTunes 12.6 on my iMac.
    EVERYONE uses apps and needs to manage them.  
    I never use podcasts or books, yet that crap is still cluttering up my iTunes.
    AFAIK, it'll go away if you get an iPhone X.
    I have zero interest in a phone that doesn't fit in my pocket.
    I have a sinking feeling I'm going to be using my SE for a loooong time.

    I'm staying away from High Sierra because it will probably sneak 12.7 in on me.
