Makes sense that most cases won't be compatible, and you'll have to buy an expensive case from Apple, or get one with ugly cutouts. Brave.

Nope

It's already waterproof. In fact, an iPhone was lost in the sea for 8 months, and powered on after it was recovered.

Very unnecessary honestly, unless you’re gullible enough to give camera access to a calculator app then you won’t need it.

And even if you did the phone tells you when the camera is being used

See the green dot in the dynamic island? That means the camera is currently being used

Going from an antiquated lightning port to a USB-C one isn't a minimal upgrade. It's a big deal. When you know how much costs an iPhone 14PM... The thing will have an obsolete port in just 6 months from now.

Good to know. Because 11/12 Pro are the main ones I'm eyeing. 12 Pro series definitely looks a little more appealing.

I know it’s a concern but honestly I don’t believe agencies have the time or power to sit there watching literally billions of cams. Unless you’re some major government or political leader I highly doubt someone is going to watch you lol. But if it makes you feel better? Go for it. That all rests on how you feel.

Yeah, I hear you. When I say watching me though I mean actually watching me through the camera, at least I'd get to physically block that, you know what I mean? I know they can track everything, but just feels nice blocking the cam physically.

Same problem here

Ultimately up to you.

If you feel uncomfortable thinking someone is watching you then you best stay off the internet altogether lol. I’ve seen people block out their cameras or turn off their microphone access on phones and computers. Meaningless in my opinion. Whatever you do can be tracked, recorded and logged. If you want further proof, don’t take it from me. Take it from one of the most famous people in the computer/ technology world

States need to get out of the stone ages. Washington for being such a tech state is so behind when it comes to driver’s license service and plates.

Thanks for the NFC info! I'll think about adding a layer to that Coaster.

Ok well good to know someone was thinking ahead with privacy in mind 🙏🏻

Ah that helps, thanks!

Ah ok, I never considered face ID since I'm using an old Samsung note at the moment.

Why? Hmm, just sometimes feel uncomfortable thinking what if someone is watching, same reason I cover my laptop cam.

What you reckon? Safe without it for the iPhone?

They really think we’re gonna love it.

There are webcam covers but can I ask why you’d want to cover up that area of your phone? It may interfere with Face ID

Will not go through when given the option “send as SMS” when the GIF won’t send

Or you could wait for the 16 Pro Ultra in 2024.

No such thing as a 15 pro max

It’s a feature of newer phones. Check it out

I have zero focus settings enabled and mine shuts off at night

find my iphone does nothing if powered off

Cricket Wireless and Metro by T-Mobile stores still sell the iPhone 11. ✨

Well you’re going to have a hard time finding a 128 prepaid phone to begin with.

You’re going to have a hard time finding in stock iPhone 11

You’re going to have a mildly difficult time finding an unlocked phone with your standards.

If price isn’t an issue I’d recommend Amazon. Since you’re going for the 11 I’d guess price is the issue tho. I might be wrong. Are you at least 18?

(Don’t worry I’m not trying to sell you rn, I’m not on commission for this one)
