  • Fix Apple's Copy and Paste problem on the Mac and iOS with these tools

    On top of that, I can copy from my rMBP, but I cannot paste into Messages on my iPhone X!  I have to paste into Notes, then copy the same text again and only then can I paste into Messages.  Weird, annoying and unprofessional.  Sad...
    Yep, same happened to me the other day. Copied some text on my Mac and tried to paste into messages on an iPhone, and it pasted it as a file attachment! Went back to the Mac and made sure the text was in plain-text and tried again - same result. Had to paste to notes first to fix it.

    if you mean location tagging, it would be:

    I love how uninformed and technically simple-minded folk such as yourself cling to benchmark results as gospel for explaining your uninformed conclusions...

    What is the definition of a performance benchmark?

    It means what a certain piece of technology can achieve performance wise when pushed to it's limit.
    ...

    You are deflecting, attacking and insulting other people. Why?

    This throtling issue is confirmed by Apple, so there is no need to invoke unrelated performance problems.

    Deflecting? Attacking? Wow, someone is overly defensive...

    I presented a bunch of LEGITIMATE information explaining what is actually occurring on MANY of the devices people have erroneously claimed are being throttled by Apple, when in fact this is NOT the case.

    And what do you do? You either failed to read my post, or did read it, and wilfully chose to ignore the facts I presented, as they are FACTS and not conjecture, and instead chose to rebut them with the insinuation that I'm attacking you.

    You are cherry picking Apple's own words to try and back your baseless claims of what is actually going on. You are obviously not open to hearing the TRUTH as to what is actually happening.

    I'm not going to defend Apple for their lack of disclosure, albeit the release notes they released accompanying iOS 10.2.1 I do find to be sufficient for the function introduced. The majority of people just don't read anything, and hence this came as a bit of a shock to most. Apple should've been more upfront with this, and provided a detailed explanation at the time of the initial release.
    Oh, so righteous, backed up by truth, alternate truth even. This peace is about one lawsuit regardingreal, confirmed issue. I’m not here to tell you how large number of affected users is. Seamingly, you know that number and that’s zero. There is lack of disclosure and that’s it. You are, sir, easilly fooled. You don’t have one single peace of evidence, all you can think and talk about is apple official damage-control-PR-BS. Even there is something stinking to the roof. It reads like this: we had that shuttdown problem, recalled affected units only to see same sh..t happening again with newer units. Another recall is logical and expected for same issue... but, there is no such thing in next sentence... we developed and secretly, soorryyy folks, pushed sw sollution. Oh, I know. Apple is charity so they decided to make my (and another half billion users) year with allmost free battery replacement just because I have this crazy expectations about ethernal battery longevity. Because, nobody knows nothing about battery wear, it’s like apple invented batteries yesterday, so new, so high tech. So misterious, almost magic. Maybe, even, from future. 

    Instead, I got presented with poor grammar, irrational interpretations, cherry picking, and complete and utter disregard to all the facts I put forward.

    Let me say this again, in case you have trouble comprehending me... I DO hold Apple accountable for the way they handled the situation in the disclosure of how they were throttling the system. I applaud them from a technical standpoint, however, to come up with a way to keep iPhone’s running instead of crashing when we might need them most, and also retaining most of their performance during day-to-day use.

    My grammar is poor, yes, because english is my third language. Deal with it. 

    Yes, I do understand you. I’m science inclined, I do my home work and I know everything in public knowledge about this issue. What bothers me is your attitude - you are attacking everybody who happens to write about iphone batteries. You have this premediated stance that there is no defected batteries, just age and wear which is contradicted with simple, verified fact about iphone 7. Yes, there is number of users complaining about slower iphone after major iOS release, yes there is number of units with minor sw related bugs. Yes, there is large number of old iphone’s, but 6’s, 7’s and later are not, by any means, old. It’s just 3 years, max. But there is considerable large number of throtled iphone’s just because apple had to small to sh..y batteries. Deal with it. That’s topic of this conversation and you are just deflecting, it’s not about lack of disclosure witch is despicable but about sh..y customer service. There is no place on Earth where year or so of useful life is considered normal, even for dirt cheap chinese brands. 
    It's already been explained to you that your method of relating phone use/age to battery "age" is completely flawed (here) but so far in this thread you have ignored that. So let's try again:

    The wear on the battery has very weak relationship to just the passage of time since manufacture. Much more significant is things like number of battery cycles, and/or use at extremes of temperature. The battery is expected to need replacing after 500 cycles and/or due to use at extremes of temperatures, even if it is a "high-quality" battery with no manufacturing issues. This is just chemistry, all lithium-ion batteries do it and there is nothing Apple can do about it! So:

    1. You can't just say if a phone is less that a year old its battery can't have aged.
    2. Even with light-medium use, one would expect a 3 year old phone to have an aged battery that needs to be replaced. I would say I'm a light/medium user; my iPhone 6 is 3 years and 3 months old and the battery has done 814 cycles and needs to be replaced.

    If an iPhone is exhibiting performance issues, there are many, many possibilities for this including:
    1. It's being throttled because the battery has aged as expected, because the battery has been through over 500 charge cycles.
    2. It's being throttled because the battery has aged as expected, due to repeated use at extremes of temperatures, contrary to the manufacturer's guidance.
    3. It's being throttled because the battery has aged prematurely due to a manufacturing defect.
    4. There is a rogue app/apps consuming excessive resources in the background.
    5. iOS bug.
    6. Other hardware defect such as a logic board problem.
    Please could you provide details of your scientifically conducted (i.e., with proper controls) experiment(s) that shows that the phones you are citing as evidence of 3. above being a widespread problem, are actually experiencing that problem and not something else?

    Edited for formatting and grammar.

    All they did was fix a problem.  Now they are being sued for fixing it.
    No, they did not fix anything.
    OK, so I know that you're probably just a drive-by troll, but I can't help but bite:

    Please could you elaborate on exactly what you think this "design flaw" is/was?
    feudalist said:
    This is not about aged or depleted batteries
    Yes it is.
    feudalist said:
    because in that case it is implicated that iphone is no better than for a year or so of mild use.
    This does not logically follow from your previous statement, and is also total bollocks. One year of "mild use" of an iPhone does not result in its battery reaching the state that requires CPU throttling. One year contains 365 days, and "mild use" would imply one full battery cycle every 1 to 2 days, i.e. about 243 cycles for the year. It takes over 600 to 700 cycles before the battery reaches the point that throttling is necessary.

    Could you check if Apple have replaced the triple-click home button shortcut with anything? How do you launch the magnifier (that uses the camera as a magnifying glass)? 
    This was, in a sideways kind of a way, answered in the live video - the triple-click of the home button has been replaced by triple-click of the side button.
