  • Why the iPhone 12 Pro is worth the upgrade cost

    Agree! I returned after 24 hours as it was not a compelling upgrade over the XS Max. Cameras are only marginally better (except for night mode which is dramatically better). Loss of 3D touch makes the phone feel slower as haptic touch is garbage. The minor updates do not justify the expense. Here's hoping Apple brings back touch ID for the 13 as well as 120hz screen. 
    and you couldn’t figure out those things just by reading the web. Are you one of those “returners”. What a waste of a brand new device to end-up being returned.

    it’s time for people put the 120hz in the same box as the usb-c port in an iPhone. Not going to happen. If it compromise the battery life (and it will) it will never materialized.

  • Apple seemingly discontinues Apple TV 'Remote' app

    Maybe I’m missing something? How does Control Center do everything that iTunes remote did? Control Center is literally just play/pause volume, right? I use remote weekly; unless there are more features on newer phones or something I will miss this app. But I guess since I already have it it will continue to work for the foreseeable future.
    The only thing you are missing is reading the article to notice it is about the ATV Remote App which is different than iTunes Remote App. 

    Control Center is NOT literally play/pause volume.

  • What MagSafe on the iPhone 12 is, how it works, and what can it do

    I'm not a hater by any means, but what happens when you put an iPhone 12 in the same pocket as a hotel keycard?  I've had these get messed up from time to time when I wasn't carrying a strong magnet around with me.

    Maybe it won't matter since hotels barely exist post-Covid.  Or it will force them to support using iPhones to open hotel doors (as a very few hotels do already).

    Actually, screw hotel key cards, what about the credit cards in my (mini) wallet?  I routinely have credit cards in a leather sleeve in the same pocket as my phone.  Will I have to replace that with a shielded sleeve?
    You have not stay in a hotel in a while. Current phones NonMagSafe deactivate the key cards all the time. Too many times when going out of the room putting the card and phone in the same pocket will grant me a visit to the front desk to reprogram my key. So that’s not going to be a new problem it already exist with current phones. Lately I am being using my phone as my key so that’s one way to solve it.

  • Compared: HomePod mini versus HomePod

    “Sadly you cannot use a HomePod and a HomePod mini as a stereo pair together, as you require two of the same speaker.” Is this a design disadvantage of using two different chips (S5 vs A8) or does Apple purposely do this so you have to spend more money to pair two speakers together? 
    Have you thought about this even a lil bit?

    Left channel through a mini speaker. 
    Right channel through a much bigger speaker.
