It’s good, but not as good as a 12 Pro Max or base model 13. The 12 Pro Max was the first phone to introduce sensor shift technology and it is a game changer that the normal 12 doesn’t have. All of the 13 & 14 series has it, but only the 12 Pro Max has it from the 12 lineup.

Nope.

What’s the cam like? I like taking pictures on phones

I’m happy to respond to someone’s question if I know the answer. If I don’t want to……I don’t.

Well then, just create a random home screen and don’t link it to a focus

Using an iPhone 12 Pro on 16.2 Beta 3 and I am having no crashing problems with the Youtube app. My Youtube app is also up to date so I am not sure why so many people are having crashing problems

That is most likely the optimal shortcut they could use. It isn’t intended for three fingered people. Most other double taps/clicks are reserved for other functions. For example, activating Apple Pay takes two clicks of the power button, but it wasn’t invented for people who can only click it twice. The usage of three fingers is to prevent people accidentally activating it with two fingers.

Great to hear about the black screen option! That’s really my main complaint about the feature and it had a noticeably negative effect on my battery life when I had it turned on.

I will say that similar to you, the quality isn’t as horrendous as it used to be when I’d receive a video clip or picture from an iPhone user. Hopefully that continues to improve and Apple actually adopts a more updated text standard. Airdrop is a legitimately awesome feature that i forgot to mention. Good call there.

Increasing text size doesn't work with images (or text in an image).

Also, the 3-finger double tap is faster than a pinch to zoom, and the gesture can be easier for people with limited mobility (e.g. arthritis).

Apple doesn't consider these use cases niche because they have more data than you do about the general population – specifically customers who use their products.

Yes! That app really helped (found my phone). I was using it wrong the first time.

That’s a good point and seems in line with my comments about app optimization and other features seemingly favoring iPhones over Android phones.

I don’t think the third party backs come with the sides. I think they are just the back glass. Unless they are taking them from other phones possibly?

Strange. I also hit download and my iPhone battery at 60% of the time, it works every time.

Updated and my phone can fly now!!!

Weird- mine looks different. I can choose which Home Screen page (I have three “pages”) or if I want to see notifications on the Lock Screen. Nothing about wallpaper.

…but no wallpaper trouble like you’re having either, so I guess that’s good? I almost feel like I’m missing out!

Worth updating from 15.7.1 on iPhone 12 Pro?

Congratulations on your flawless CarPlay experience. I’m happy for you. Thus far, my experience differs greatly from yours. I’m sorry that’s happening. Wish I could change it.

And holy semantics. I’ll have to let literally everyone know that Samsung doesn’t use Android for their phones. It’ll be a surprise to most I’m sure.

My android auto experience with my woefully inadequate Samsung S20 phone was again, less bug ridden in the same 2020 Nissan than carplay with my brand new iPhone. I have a hard time believing three major car manufacturers will drop support of Android auto on their new vehicles but it’s quite the theory. Especially considering several manufacturers now use a custom version of android auto for their default infotainment systems.

I’ve had pixel phones in the past. Nexus phones too. I’ve literally never ran into an issue with chimes and clearing notifications. I have two friends with Pixel 7 pros and they’ve made no mention of clearing chimes. Whatever the situation I have no doubt it can be disabled in settings like every other sound in the OS.

You seem to have taken my comment about always on displays extremely personally and my apologies for clearly offending your delicate sensibilities regarding the feature. I can only assume you’ve personally worked on the feature for apple at this point. I hope any future comments I make will not upset you so much. I’ve heard the same comment made about their implementation of always on displays by multiple reviewers, so I feel pretty safe in my critique.

My apologies for having such incorrect opinions. Good luck with your beeps and bloops.

Same boat as you and most of the same complaints. I actually switched from an s22 ultra so I had the best offering from android at the time and it’s the same story. Notifications are by far the worst downgrade for me. I miss so many things. Only thing I wanted to mention is that I’m running the latest iOS beta and they did add the option for a black screen for always on display which is nice. I’ve definitely noticed a small uptick in battery life. In terms of iMessage, I’ve mainly noticed the difference in sending videos. In the past if someone on an iPhone sent me a vid it was a pixelated mess, and the few people I knew on android didn’t use RCS so it wasn’t any better. Now I can send and receive vids in crystal clear resolution seamlessly. Airdrop is also nice when I occasionally use it.

Someone's a lot of fun at parties

A Windows executable you downloaded somewhere.

Thank you for the amazing update, Tim Apple. Won’t go unnoticed!

Nope, just tried —no option for wallpaper. It’s an iPhone 8, so maybe just left out?

While the notification and autocorrect issues are definitely annoying, they don’t ruin the entire experience thankfully. And I’ve learned to adapt. I just manually check my email and other messaging services more often throughout the day. Agreed though that they can keep improving.
