I love My Photo Stream and will be saddened when it no longer works. I'm probably one of the .01% who do not want to use iCloud to store backups and would rather have everything on my Mini. I'm aware that's not the safest thing, from a multiple backups point of view, but I still only backup my phone to my Mini and not iCloud. I don't want to pay monthly for the slight convenience that iCloud provides, so guess I'll just have to transfer over photos when I backup my phone.

Their instructions say to look for a specific spot in Settings that doesn't exist on my iPad or iPhone version of the DuckDuckGo app.  I am updated to the latest version.

Did they perhaps jump the gun before Apple released a newer update that enables the opt-in feature?

In settings scroll down and just below the "Open Links In Associated Apps" toggle is "More From DuckDuckGo" you'll see "Email Protection" and "DuckDuckGo Desktop App", thats where you can opt in for the desktop browser wait list

I’ve bought 4 or 5 4th gen shuffles over the years. Still the best way for me to listen to podcasts while I workout. Only issue is sweat killing them over time but they’re cheap and plentiful on eBay. 

What bothers me is that if the slow down was due to battery degradation then why isn’t there a way to see when the battery should be replaced? I would still be using my iPhone 6 Plus if I’d have known the battery was causing my phone to become sluggish and painfully slow in certain situtations. If the software knew the battery was dying and throttled performance to maintain battery life then why could it not notify me to get the battery replaced?

 Instead I assumed iOS 11 updates had slowed it down and shortly after that my battery started only holding a charge for a few hours so I replaced it with an 8 Plus. After reading about this software throttling being linked to dying batteries I ordered a replacement and my 6 Plus was reborn! I use to get a ton of lag typing messages or switching apps. As soon as the battery was changed it preformed nearly as smoothly as my 8 Plus. Infact I gifted it to my girlfriend’s mother as it was better than the cheap android she had. 

So I have no issue with Apple trying to conserve a dying battery by slowing down my phone but tell me that’s why and let me get it fixed! Don’t stay silent and let people assume they need a new phone or that Apple is trying to force people to upgrade.
