Yeah I’m in the same boat. I use the mute switch one time when I get my phone and then never again. I could think of plenty of other things it would be great for instead. Even better if we can map it to a shortcut… but that might be too wishful of thinking

I know a lot of people that just keep their license in their car. I don’t even think I’ve had to show my license to anyone in over a year.

Clean waxer

I’m fine with all that. I just want to be able to run the store real quick without my wallet.

I don’t know. But I’m kinda weary about adding it - I mean the whole purpose is to be an ID replacement right? So the police ask for your ID, you hand them your phone with the ID popped up, Aren’t you essentially giving them access to your phone for whatever purpose? I don’t know the legality‘s here maybe someone else can chime in but that’s just my thought.

Ya I need my state so I can run out real quick without my wallet.

I wasn’t super thrilled, but willing to see it in practice before saying no, however if today’s rumor that a new haptic engine in place of the SIM tray means a return to 3D Touch I am all in. Haptics could credibly replace the tactile feedback of the current hardware mute switch.

Once you flush the physical buttons and make the frame responsive to touch you open up a whole world of new interaction models. Side frame to scroll. Side frame double tap to enable “reach ability” (the triple back tap is meh). Slide to confirm purchases with Apple. Squeeze the phone to take a photo (I know Android has had squeeze for a while)

So now the iPhone 11 Pro 64gb and the iPhone 12 64 go used both cost the same. Which should I get the 11 pro cause it has the additional camera and bigger battery which will be less degraded than the 12 since used iPhones tend to be around 80-85% bh or the iPhone 12 for the A14 and Ceramic Shield.

Hey there, thought I might be able to provide some additional context. OP, the reason people are calling out your brothers app as BS is because of how location works on iPhone.

There are two ways location services can work. 1. If you are checking location via an online web app, then they can detect location via IP. This can be spoofed via a simple VPN, and is how things like unlocking Netflix in a foreign country works.

The second way location services work is by using the GPS in the phone. For security reasons, this is handled by IOS itself and while apps can request to read the location, they do not have the ability to set the location. Apps on the phone itself use this method. At best your brother can turn off location services, but he cannot “spoof” the location that shows up in find my iPhone.

The one case where this changes is if the iPhone is jailbroken. iPhones that are jail broken have “no limits” so to speak and anything can be modified, including the location data.

Another way to spoof location data is by taking advantage of iOS’s modular nature to connect it to an external GPS receiver. I don’t know a lot about these devices or how they work. I know pilots use them to add reliable GPS to their devices since the internal gps isn’t rated for flight. It’s possible the application you mentioned is emulating one of these devices and purposely feeding the phone with bad data, but I’m not sure.

But to answer you question, you can’t really know. You can track your brothers location over time to try and identify and sudden moves or unexplained jumps, but that’s it. If the system didn’t think the system was real it wouldn’t report it to begin with.

Awesome bro! I love them both equally and I still use my S21 Ultra 😂💯

Its your choice anyway, I respect your opinion, i just prefer android myself.

Thanks for the reply.

I know i said Samsung as in Android in general because i mostly used Samsung only. I even see myself switching back to it in the future, because I’m not ecosystem limited.

I did not say i love smasungs, if it is using a samsung or an iphone, id take an iphone, i am more of a google pixel fan

Haven't looked at the comments yet, so this may have already been stated, but it's not up to Apple to add states; it's up to each state to legally allow digital identification. I'd say within ten years, all states will allow it, and physical IDs won't even be required anymore.

Who has broken face id in the first place? Get your phone fixed if you want to use all of the features.

As others have said, 5G ultra wideband.

It can get you some crazy fast speeds. Here's a speedtest I took at an airport which had it a a while back https://i.imgur.com/eENrh4z.jpg

Super convenient in places like that. I'd forgotten to download anything before my flight, and I was able to download a a few GB of shows just while I was standing in line to board the plane.

I never felt controlled, or limited by iOS, I am able to do everything I was able to do on Samsung, some stuff even easier/better, only thing I really miss is a back gesture from the left side but i got used to that too really quickly. Using shortcuts on iOS really helped a lot and made my workflow faster. I must also say that iOS being closed and “limited” in features and options you have made it much more reliable for me 💯. This is just my experience with owning my first iPhone.

I just picked up my 14p this past Saturday. First iPhone ever. I’m loving it! It will be many years before I need to upgrade, hopefully

Yeah but now you can bring up the camera from anywhere is what I’m saying.

WARNING, everyone can use whatever they want, this is just my opinion, and you can ignore it.

1. Apple literally controlls how you use your iphone, it is not your choice.
2. Once you use an iphone, it instantly appeals to you, because it is satisfyong to use, therefore manipulative
3. A feature where you can actually own your phone OS- where is it? I am using an iphone because my nexus 6 from 2014 fell and cracked the screen. And i am feeling controlled compared to when i was using android. I wish to go back as fast as I can, though before that, even after using a 7+ for about a year- it is as convenient as android, with the added bonus of not only data collection, but fully closed control of how you use your phone.

You can find comfort in that it’s most likely a faulty OIS

As someone who’s switch is permanently on the red mode, if I can just do that via software and have the button for other things that would be amazing

Rice isn’t a magical product but it does attract magical people to do their magic.

Yep! At that point, your actual download speed relies on the upload speeds of the data servers you're downloading from, for the most part.
