Apple

Has anyone purchased the 15 plus? I’m thinking this is the one that I will purchase. Wanted to see if anyone has any reviews on it personally. I’m also trying to choose the right color lol. I wish they had white :(

I’ve been using Samsung phones since the first Galaxy released, but decided to switch things up and got myself the iPhone 15 Plus and I’m absolutely loving it so far! the performance is top tier

Hey people

I just bought the new iPhone 15 Pro Max and I absolutely love the feel of it naked, no case or screen protector.

Are the screens hard enough to not scratch too easily? Had an X for 6 years and the screen only had one tiny scratch. Should be the same toughness on rhe 15 Pro Max, right?

My lovely son loves to watch YouTube videos when I drive him far away, which constantly happens. Since I need the usb cable plugged for gps (Waze), I have to listen in the car speaker the videos along with him. If I go back to radio, it will stop the video. Total chaos!!!

Please, is there a way I can listen to radio, use the gps and let him watch YouTube using the phone speakers while plugged?

Can someone explain the circled portion of the AppleCare+ replacement policy? Would a phone ran over by a car somehow be ineligible?

Has anybody had any experience with the Milanese Loop or Leather bands affecting the functionality or accuracy of the compass on the watch.

I bought a new tv that supposedly supports HDR and Dolby Vision, but when I turn on my Apple TV (not the 4k one), everything is washed out and grey.

I've tried changing my HDMI Output to all 3 possible settings (YCbCr, RGB High, RGB Low) but that makes no difference whatsoever.

My PS5 that is connected to the tv does display colors correctly.

Is there a way that I can force the ATV to not send HDR content? I assume that's what's happening?

What’s the best watch face you have used?

So i got my iphone in july which means ive been using it for 4 months, but ive noticed that theres already a slight screen burn in from the home bar or whatever you call it and from the lte and battery signs. I asked my friend who has had an iphone 13 for over a year now and she doesnt have any burn in on her iphone. Is my screen faulty or something?

Official apple support says you must connect to the internet to get past this message. Is there a way to do this if you dont have access to a sim card or wifi? I downloaded these apps already from the app store and dont want this restriction to come up again and again.

I've been wanting to buy a new Apple Watch for a long time. I'm looking at the latest models, the Watch Ultra 2 and S9 45mm.

What convinces me about the Ultra 2 is the battery life and the design, but I'm totally put off by the price of 900 bucks here in Germany.
The S9, on the other hand, scores points pf course with its lower price, but gives me the feeling that it's just another Apple Watch without any important innovations and the same look as always.
What do you think I would be happier with in the long term?

I’m an undergraduate biomedical engineering student also pursuing AI and robotics minors, so I have a wide array of use-cases, including both the medical stuff (wet labs), programming (all types), and the standard engineering stuff (CAD and modelling). I got a 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD M1 air in Sept. 2021 after seeing a lot of CS students say that they got perfect usage out of an 8GB RAM, 256 GB SSD M1 MacBook Air, knowing that Apple makes their MacBooks last a while, and planning on using this MacBook for all four years of my degree.

Since then, Apple went on to unveil new MacBook pros and airs and new generations of M-chips to go alongside them, but I still held off, knowing my MacBook Air was more than capable. However, after the M3 generation unveiling I’ve been seriously considering upgrading for the following reasons:

1. I found out after I went into first year that I would be programming, graphing, and running simulations in MATLAB. If you recall, MATLAB modelling was one of the use cases highlighted in the presentation for M3 Pro. Currently, my MacBook Air has no problems running MATLAB even when I have like 10+ windows of different apps open; however I do see it occasionally slowing down, and for now I’ve only had to graph the occasional ODE or probability density function (for those who know what those are), so I’m afraid that when I actually do have to model complex biological or electronic systems, the slowdowns may become more noticeable. MATLAB seems to become snappier as I close windows, but that also poses a problem because as a student I will need to have multiple windows open basically all the time.

2. My current MacBook Air is the “gold” colour, which is more rose gold than gold, something that I wasn’t expecting when I ordered it. My setup is more of the black and red variety, so the new Space Black colour of the MacBook Pro would fit perfectly with that. However, I acknowledge that this is a pretty insubstantial reason to upgrade since I could easily just stick a red and black skin on my Air or just get a black case.

3. I often forget to charge my Air overnight, so at school I’m rushing around to find a charger since I leave mine at home, and often times the USB-C chargers are all checked out of the library, but the MagSafe chargers are often still there. The M3 Pro MacBook Pro has both MagSafe and USB-C, so I won’t be at loss for a charger, even if I forget mine at home.

Some things that are holding me back from upgrading:

1. I’m not facing any major slowdown right now, so this feels like an unnecessary upgrade in the back of my head, and the M1 Air is still the snappiest for daily tasks.

2. I already have a Dell Inspiron 7567 from when I was in high school. The only thing that stops me from using it is that it has an HDD and 8GB of RAM, but both of those are upgradable (and I actually already have a 2TB SSD ready that I just haven’t had time to put in yet), and it (unofficially) supports Windows 11, so I should be able to squeeze out a few more years of life out of it, and it might be able to run those more advanced tasks (it has only a 4-core Intel i7 7700HQ but a dedicated GTX 1050Ti GPU, so with maxed out RAM and SSD I’m thinking it could be powerful enough to serve me a few more years and I won’t need a new laptop).

3. I kind of want to get a new windows laptop (preferably the Surface Laptop Studio 2) because I want to see what Windows 11 (and 12 when it comes out) will be like. I usually like to keep both a PC and a Mac with me so that I can jump between both OS’s since I have use for both (I produce music in FL studio as a side gig and like the way FL runs in Windows compared to Mac, there are also some Windows only software like ModelSim that I need, and since the transition to ARM Macs can’t run bootcamp so I need a Windows PC to run Windows (I won’t pay for Parallels)), and while I currently do have a Windows PC mentioned above, it is on the end stages of its life and eventually I will need a new Windows PC.

Let me know what y’all think. Any advice would be appreciated!

Im new to using iPhone but recently got notifications about iCloud not backing up. Then it asks for iCloud storage plan. I was wondering how do I back up iCloud and create some space but also create space on the iPhone as well. I don't have MacBook. I'm using HP laptop. It's kinda confusing between iPhone storage and iCloud storage then Google storage.

Hey, so currently my Ultra started to play strange animation sometimes, using the Nike Globe face. It adds a bit black vignette (there’s a black top and bottom of face), like curtains, only time is shown. During this the Watch vibrates also, the whole lasts for about few seconds and then disappears. I can’t connect the dots what would be the case. Anyone?

So my S7 ”only” lasts around 24h, with the watch kust on my wrist not using anything actively. Hear users with S8/9 where it lastas 1.5-2 days. Never mind the current battery drain issues.

So does S8/9 last 1.5-2 days on WatchOS 10.1.1? Or is my only option an Ultra for decent battery life?

I dont want to charge it more than once a day to full and still be able to use it for a run or navigation in the car, whichout the watch needing charge before bed time.

Has anyone faced this issues ? If so, kindly comment with the fix below in the comments. All inputs are much appreciated. Also , should i get a reboot/ flash done in an Apple authorised service center ?

Whenever I’m watching a YouTube video or listening to music it shows up on my always on display. I only want to see the date and time. How to remove the now playing widget? I’ve looked online and couldn’t find anything.

I’ve disconnected it twice and still no luck. It was working fine 10 minutes ago.

I got the 15 plus Switched from android to ios

So I don't know what to do now. Like screen protection, cover etc not the setup. I'll go to the apple store tomorrow so wanted to know what to get/do etc

Thanksss

Hi, I would like to A) not be able to pick up my phone and waste time but B) still get important messages

To achieve A, I could turn off the phone but this doesn’t work for B. I’m looking for a function a bit like those computer apps where you have to put in an insanely long code to access the web.

I know there are apps like Freedom, which prevent access to Reddit, Facebook, the browser, etc. for a specified length of time but I still want to to access them if I have to.

Any ideas? Thanks you.

Currently, Amazon has the series 9 discounted 12%, will there be a better sale closer to Christmas/Black Friday? Trying to buy a watch as a gift.

Thanks!
