Thank you; I hope I can manage this.

Thanks for the reply. The apps are on my personal phone though; not using company resources for private apps.

I've recently moved from Android to iOS and I really miss fingerprint scanning. That said, while I was asked by my phone whether I wanted to setup faceId with a mask on as well as an alternate appearance (supposedly for people who wear glasses etc.), my faceId recognises me with a beard, with glasses, sunglasses and even wearing a hat.

So while it's a little annoying having to crane my neck in order for the camera see me, it's actually really, really good.

Oh yeah thats what i thought. Thanks for the clarification !

The phone isn’t the issue. It’s the account. You can transfer Apple accounts between phones and even run one account on multiple devices. And redownload the application. Or even restore from a back up of the phone that has them now.

But if you purchased the kids applications on your work account you are probably SOL. Use your own own personal account for personal applications. I would set up the kid with an account and family sharing. You can then be notified of purchases and use parental controls on their devices.

I have a 2013 and a 2015 macbook, the physical trackpad feels significantly better than the fake one on the 2015.

I am experiencing something very similar, since updating to 16.4.

I have moved a way from automatically include method and am having to manually select podcasts to sync. I can listen to podcast this way. I can uncheck podcast I have listened to, check new ones and am able to re-sync. Using this method, the podcast stay on the phone only for a while. Then all of sudden when I open the podcast app, the podcasts start disappearing before my eyes, or I go into one of my station - that says I have podcasts in it before I go in - and in it, it shows no podcasts. They when go back to iTunes to re-sync to put them back on the phone and find all the podcast I checked to sync are unchecked. I have to re-check podcast to sync.

If I automatically include podcast to sync, I cannot get them to stay on the phone for very long (less than an hour) and have seen them disappear before my eyes in the app.

Plus.

Face ID has been great for me. As others have pointed out the only time I have issues with it is when I’m in bed and laying on my side. Otherwise, 99% of the time my phone is unlocked before I even have to think about it.

It seems as though my iPhone XS is finally out of commission. Took it to authorized service centers, no luck. It was my first ever iPhone (previously a loyal Android user) and I bought it not long after launch, so it's been almost 5 years since, if I'm not mistaken. Really loved and enjoyed using it while I had it.

Now that I'm in the market for a new phone, would you folks recommend the iPhone 14 Pro at this point in time? Specs-wise, I'd assume it's an obvious upgrade across the board since it's a few generations apart, but one thing I've been seeing as concerns about the 14 Pro is the battery life. I'm currently using a family member's old, spare iPhone SE to compensate in the meantime, and the battery life expectedly isn't great (2.5hrs screen on time before it hits 50%). I understand the Max is great with battery, but I'd rather avoid a big phone like that as much as possible as I need to carry a second phone (for work) with me most of the time.

As with my XS, I plan and hope to use my would-be new phone for years to come, hopefully even longer than 4-5 years.

I'm currently rocking the OG SE. I've replaced the battery on it once (and apple accidentally bricked the original phone and gave me a new refurbished replacement OG SE). The battery has begun to wear down and given its age, I'm looking into updating to a newer model. I do enjoy having a headphone jack on the SE (my car is old and doesn't have bluetooth, so it is the only way I can listen to podcasts/music), but it looks like there are some affordable lightning to aux adapters available. I'm thinking about going for a 13 mini (for the smaller form factor). I haven't been keeping up with development news, so not sure if/when a new version of the SE might be coming out or when the 15 is due or if it would be worth waiting. Technically I could still pay and have the battery replaced for $69. I don't need or really want to the most cutting edge tech, just need something reliable. Thoughts?

Does Apple ever offer sales/discounts? Or bundle with airpods or accessories on new purchase? I'm a little frugal and trying to upgrade while maximizing value.

Yes

So I like my old 7 plus, thinking about buying a new one. But also considering the 8 plus (the big screens help with my vision)

What would be y'all recommendation on that? The 7+ is perfect, screen doesn't hurt my eyes (unlike this crappy android walmart one)

What are the differences, is it worth to pay the extra for the 8+?

Ahhh that’s a pity, but thanks for the clarification. I don’t want to link my work phone with my private phone; I don’t even know if the company policy allows that, but I will see what I can do.

If they are paid apps, you will need to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID that bought them to download them onto your other device or else pay for them again.

OR set up an Apple ID for your son to use on the other device and incorporate that into iCloud Family and use app sharing, but this won’t get you around certain kinds of in-app purchases.

coming from a s21 ultra to the iphone 14 pro max, its 1000 times better. It works great, I did like the finger print scanner on the ultra but the face id is just better all around.

Thanks, yes I tap the top of the phone on tags to set HomeKit lighting scenes. I didn't know MagSafe used a second reader, but I guess that makes sense!

But this Coaster product made me wonder because it has its OWN NFC tag permanently sitting right up by the top of the phone. And another at the bottom corner.... I can't for the life of me figure out how you're meant to use them. Pop the accessory off and then tap certain spots on it against your phone? It does NOT seem to have a tag in the usual MagSafe location. Weird.

(Plus it is rather thick I fear—meant to lift the phone above the camera mountain. Makes sense, I'm just not sure I want to go that bulky,)

No that way it's just a link and you will need to pay again. Make an iCloud for the kid add it to family and turn on share purchases

Same device, but I have it

This is really what I was looking for. Could see me moving back to iPhone with the 15, it seems like a bit of a gamechanger which Android is lagging way behind on.

Omg, something so simple and I never even knew this existed… I’m going to try this, thank you!
