iPhone 15 Pro Max teardown reveals few internal changes, digs at repairability
Curious, what kind of drive-by pictures would require 5x?Restrained_Nicholas said:The reason I ordered one is the periscope lens (I take a lot of drive-by pictures). Surely that dwarfs A17 and other buzzwords?

Apple FineWoven case review: Not the leather replacement we were hoping for
... To be carbon neutral we need to move away from leather ... - nonsense right therejohn mclachlan said:
Well said. I got the Pacific Blue of the case and wallet. They feel fantastic. Of course time will tell with wear but it seems this has been really overblown and is very subjective by reviewers.brucehal said:The article feels overblown and full of opinions about the case ‘likely’ failing in the future. Based on what data other than your opinion? Super negative articles get a lot more clicks I suppose. To be carbon neutral we need to move away from leather. I got the Evergreen fine woven case and MagSafe wallet with my iPhone 15 Pro Max a few days ago. I like it. A lot. It feels modern, high quality, durable, soft and comfortable to hold, with nice color matched aluminum buttons on the side. Just because it uses some high quality textured plastic in places it’s automatically cheap feeling? Actually no it’s not - it feels good and solid in hand. I had an Apple leather case on my previous iPhone - the 14 Pro Max - and I actually prefer the feeling of finewoven - soft and cool rather than hot and sticky. I don't understand what all the whining is about. Very happy with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max and finewoven case.

Oceanic+ Dive Housing turns iPhone into an underwater camera & dive computer
tahoejr said:I have been looking for a solid iphone housing solution for underwater photography. Existing options are just the point and shoot variety or bulky high end configurations. Looking forward to seeing the reviews for how this all fully integrates with the phone and quality of pictures/video.
When diving in saltwater, I cover iPhone 14 Pro Max openings with clear tape and use a smallrig cage with a safety strap. This prevents losing the phone, fogging and droplets on lenses effectively. In freshwater lakes, I skip taping holes. During a two-week period of daily diving in salt water, the screws in the smallrig cage oxidized, but nothing happened to the phone. Additionally, I block touch interface through guided access. Works for me like a charm.Sometimes when I want extra quality I use Filmic Pro and Halide, but most of the times just the Camera app.All cases that I tried were leaking or fogging or were degrading image quality to various extent. -
Tesla iOS app update lets you ask Siri to lock the doors

If you want to play songs that you own that are downloaded to your phone, don’t you have to go through Bluetooth for that? Wouldn’t the audio quality from CarPlay be better than Bluetooth?themeperks said:I own a Tesla, and like the other owners I know, we don't WANT CarPlay. The Tesla audio and maps are much better. When I'm traveling and rent a car I find CarPlay extremely limited.Agree with themeperks, we don't need CarPlay in Tesla.Slow'n'easy: No, it won't. You can choose to play music from Bluetooth, Apple Music, Spotify etc or just use Tesla's music streaming (the latter is the worst in terms of quality). If you are concerned about sound quality, try playing around with it in the dealership or take it for a test drive. The sound quality in my Model Y is incredible (I have premium audio with 2 subs which was a standard on Model Y 2 years ago).Nothing in CarPlay is better than current Tesla UX and it would be limiting to use something like CarPlay.
