It wants to watch Shrek

I switched recently and I really enjoy it, the app location thing isn’t really that big of a deal, I still keep a lot of my Google apps, such as using gmail rather than the apple mail app and still have google photos back up all my pictures.

Google drive is useful to transfer files, but the Move to iOS app transfers pretty much everything. Although it may take a while for iMessage to load all the old RCS conversations since it has to convert them.

None of the subscriptions transfer, you have to cancel them on one then Subscribe on the other, but I kept my old pixel to tinker so I haven’t cancelled anything and still manage the few subscriptions I have through that since you can still log on with the same info. I probably will eventually, but it’s not high on my priority list lol.

The biggest thing is keep in mind that iOS won’t do things the same way or keep things in the same place as Android, but it does make sense how it does it and you’ll be used to it within a day as long as you keep that in mind and explore the phone a bit.

I have the anker 633. It’s got a really solid battery. It’s a bit heavy on the phone. Not sure I’d want to take it out at night attached, but it’s great otherwise. I use it for AirPods too

Just talk dirty to it. Should dry it out 😂 /s

Anker is a 100% full stop for me, what their parent company did with Eufy their “local only” (that’s a lie btw) home security cams is unacceptable and I strongly discourage everyone from buying Anker/Eufy products from now on.

I’ve heard the non Apple ones get really hot and heat affects the battery life over time. I’ve also seen reviews of it not fully charging the way it says it does. So far Apple is the best.

I like Apple a lot but… they do monetize you in more ways than people think they do.

And they are on their way to do it more.

i am not saying Google is better, nope they are worse.

​

But what most people think about Apple on that regard, is half truth.

As to removing apps and privacy on Android, out of the box Apple is better and you are right.

​

But the freedom Android gives means you can change and remove everything you want, and have total control of you privacy, it’s just that you need to put some effort in that, that’s why out of the box Apple is easier.

As for Windows same story, my Windows installation is more privacy friendly than MacOS, because you can do that.

But just like with Android, it doesn’t come out of the box, you need to put effort in it.

​

However I would argue that is much and much easier to do on Windows than on Android.

iOS is my daily driver, but Apple is not some sort of utopia, if anything Apple would want even more money, even if they absolutely don’t need it anymore, considering their financial size.

Is it not an Apple product? I’m confused.

Reboot would work as well.

Thing is, I didn’t expect it to be as fast as wireless charging.

I just didn’t want the phone to drain even when it was just in my pocket or bag but it did, especially with the Apple one. Very disappointed with that one.

I could even accept that my phone would throttle when in use but never understood why it wouldn’t charge when it wasn’t, i.e., bag or pocket.

Doesn’t help that my country is hot and bright AF. I’m pretty sure those anecdotes that claim the Apple model works fine are from users that live in cooler countries.

Figured the faster I’m done charging, the faster I can put the power bank back into my bag, hence my switch back to cabled fast charging.

Side story:

It’s partly why I regret getting the 14 Pro Max as I almost always leave the house with even a tiny bag/satchel so bringing a power bank like the Anker 633 isn’t a problem.

Then I wouldn’t have to deal with the phone too big and still have plenty of battery life.

How

> I suggest get a powerbank with both weird and wireless output.

That's gonna be interesting!

I agree that wired is usually more reliable. And probably faster.

To be completely honest, the Mini IS the regular size phone. From there, you can't use your confortably without using your off-hand, so I really dont understand why phones are not following ergonomics anymore.

I have this issue with Facebook Messenger for some reason. All my messages will be read but it'll still show I have unread messages. It'll usually just randomly go away after opening and closing the app several times. Still pretty annoying to have to do that.

They’re waiting to see what Google does so they can add the feature 5 years later and call it the “greatest innovation on any phone.”

Did you check "messages from unknown sender?" every time I have had this happen, there were spam messages in the messages from unknown sender section.

You can actually delete any app you want on Android if you’re willing to do the work involved. Any app can be uninstalled using adb commands.

Also, Google’s own Pixel phones don’t come with any 3rd party apps or bloatware.

I have a 14 Pro Max and a iPhone 12 and while I like the iOS experience, it’s just too bland for me. I miss the customization of Android and being able to install any app I want.

I don’t think so but I don’t think they’re being aggressive enough in getting those ideas to people big free.

yes the 12 is a good phone but i wouldn’t get 64gb. get 128/256

is there a reason you don’t want to do this in the next few months? imo i would use the phone as it is and then when you feel battery life gets bad for you then i’d replace it

I love Apple too... but they're going to need to spend a lot more than $450 million to get a Starlink competitor. If they doubled their initial investment every year starting now it'd take 8 years for them to surpass where Starlink is today... IF Space X decided to launch their birds at cost (why would they do that?)...

Apple has the capital to buy Space X outright, with their loose change but that's not what we're talking about here, is it?

As it sits today and the foreseeable future there is zero comparability between the two offerings.

Amazon wants to build a comparable network but I'll reserve judgement until they get their first bird in the sky.

Ah ok that makes more sense. Is there any discolouration or indication of excess heat on the phone or its buttons? If not, it could potentially be a case of a cheap case with low heat tolerance.

If you want to be sure, you could always try contacting Apple Support to run tests. It’s possible the battery could have issues. That’s the most likely thing that could cause an inordinate amount of heat.

My bad

The camera itself does yes, but the software is saying it might not be genuine, that’s not hard to figure out.

And that someone is you. That’s only apple’s first round of investment. Things don’t happen overnight. Keep being a shill for elons company though. StarLink was best to market by other Sat companies too :)

Apples Market Cap dwarfs spaceX’s ;)
