They should be backed up. My photos have followed me for 6-7 years phone after phone and often had to download if they were too old. Does that mean anything?

So, obviously, no one ever needs a new phone when they have last years' model, unless you broke or lost it. With that said, before upgrading, I consistently read on the internet, on Reddit, in YouTube reviews, and even from friends, that going from the 13PM to the 14PM was an inconsequential upgrade.

But for me, just to offer my two cents to anyone with the 13PM still wondering about maybe upgrading, I think it's a bigger year-over-year upgrade over the 13 Pro Max than the 13 PM was over the 12 Pro Max.

The big two things from 12 to 13 was 120 hz screen and the notch getting smaller. The 120 hz is a huge upgrade. But the Dynamic Island and Always On Display (which I love without a background, personally; it's less distracting) are two much more noticeable, truly functional differences.

The Dynamic Island needs more third-party support to truly be maximized, sure, but it's the first truly NEW thing in years. And it feels like it. Phone calls look sick. Having sports scores up there is really cool. Spotify displaying what you're listening to is really nice. And the always on display let's you see notifications without picking up your phone, and if you're like me, once you pick it up, you've probably just surrendered no less than 30 seconds of your life scrolling something. Being able to see without touching is really helpful, actually, to reduce phone usage.

I know the chip didn't upgrade much, the phone body is almost identical, and at this point, the cameras have honestly been so good that those updates feel almost imperceptible, and that the camera bump and weight increased, but I think if you're able to get out of your 13 PM by selling/trading it in at a price that's fair, the new battery, Dynamic Island and Always on display make this feel like a really good upgrade. Better than last years.

Oh, and the black color is dope.

There used to be a Sandisk USB thumb drive that had both a USB connector on it and a lightning port connector on it that you can save directly onto it using their app from your photo library on your phone. I haven’t seen it in a while though.

Clean the lens. If that doesn’t fix it you may have a defective phone.

Did you have them backed up to iCloud or to iTunes? If not, unfortunately your only chance is to look into paying a third party data recovery service. If you go that route, please take care to do your research first. A lot of them are just scams.

It also happens with iPad pro, I bought 128 and 256 ssd iPad pro 11 M1, the gap is pretty big. Apple forces user to buy larger ssd.

Nice! Went from ~30gb to ~25. Will definitely be recommending this to people who have it much worse. Before this I would recommend a backup and dfu restore, which will likely clear out as much as possible. But this is much simpler/faster.

same reason people are hung up on battery health after using a phone for 6 months and it's dropped 1%

Clean your lens.

Well some people do and send me songs to listen to

Delete the Apple Music app

Delete the Apple Music app duh

While it is a joke, many businesses still follow their complaints very heavily. I’ve personally had issues resolved simply by submitting a complaint there. Not a perfect system but it doesn’t take long to do.

Noo

I wish Apple had an option for 5 years for auto-delete. I don’t need decade old messages, but sometimes 1 year is just a little too short of an auto-delete window. I don’t sit around and look at old messages for fun, it’s moreso about searching for a specific detail about something that was discussed. No different than searching through old emails. And since the current options are basically only “auto-delete everything after one year” or “keep everything for forever”, I go with the latter just in case. Tldr, they need more cleanup options.

NICE hell yea happy to help!

Its the illuminati, its their fault

you can just download a movie from netflix or a streaming service to force into purging cache files. i did this every two weeks and my system data is never more than 14 gb

I have 11GB of system data but I’m not concerned about it because I have 170GB of free space.

How to backup using computer?

What are people using on their Macs? Ideally I'm looking for a weather app that will automatically give a daily update on today's weather.

Thanks for this! I’ve always wanted to dabble in this stuff, so I downloaded the whole folder of apps to try out

What’s Verizon’s retune policy though? I know Apple’s is 14 days from date of purchase.

Imagine doing all this instead of Apple incorporating a simple clear/purge cache. Fucking hell man
