I need a new phone. Is the iPhone 12 mini any good? Is anyone having it? I don't want a super big phone in my pocket and I have small hands.
Actually I'd like to keep my old iPhone SE (1st generation), but it only supports 3G and therefore doesn't work for me anymore.
- Fuck me mate. If you've made it this far without 4G, keep the SE!Hayzilla
- yes hold onto the se. i still have mine (tho s2), it's a decent size, not like the other proto-tablets out there.hans_glib
- iPhone 13 mini probably being announced tomorrow. At least wait until then. The 12 price will drop and the 13 will be newnb
- I have the iPhone SE2 (2020) and it’s great but the photo quality can be AWFUL. Worst camera quality I’ve seen in ten years.nb
- I finally upgraded last year to the mini. Is great, no complaints.inteliboy
- @Hayzilla It's still my 1st smartphone. Never owned another one. Haha. No internet on the go is a problem, though.SimonFFM
- The wife has the 12 mini and loves it. I have the regular 12 and don't mind the scalemisterhow
- If you don't care about the fancy cameras get the cheapest one that is available new.mekk
- The mini is a similar form to the original SE. I’m replacing my SE2 this week after the Apple event.nb
- Thanks, guys!SimonFFM
- A good friend just got one (because his family is all on Apple). He hates it. Hates the camera. 6 months of use and he's switching.formed
- Missed the mini part, he just hates the iPhone. I think it's the expensive one w the 'best' camera.formed
- I replaced my iPhone 6 last year with the iPhone 12 mini. So far it’s been great. The low light capability of the camera is fantastic.Chimp
- Was also looking at the iPhone 12 mini to replace my Samsung S7... it's about the same sizeCalderone2000
- I got the mini last year. I like the size but I need my glasses to read anything that doesn't support larger text*.
*signs your getting oldfooler - I have a 12 mini and I love it. Perfect size.mathinc
- Yep, mini is great. Fit's nicely in my pocket.fyoucher1
- My Iphone SE 2016 is fully updated, runs everything smoothly. Camra isn't great, but it stays until it starts refusing to update IOS (or irreparably breaks)jagara

Apple issues urgent iPhone software update to address critical spyware vulnerability.
Apple has updated its software for iPhones to address a critical vulnerability that independent researchers say has been exploited by notorious surveillance software to spy on a Saudi activist.
Researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab said the software exploit has been in use since February and has been used to deploy Pegasus, the spyware made by Israeli firm NSO Group that has allegedly been used to surveil journalists and human rights advocates in multiple countries.
The urgent update that Apple (AAPL) released Monday plugs a hole in the iMessage software that allowed hackers to infiltrate a user's phone without the user clicking on any links, according to Citizen Lab. The Saudi activist chose to remain anonymous, Citizen Lab said.

iPhone 12 is cool, but I can't wait for iPhone 14

Hopefully the new screen doesn't scratch as easily as the iPhone 12. Honestly, the 12 is the first and only phone I've ever had that got deep scratches on the screen, simply from sand in my pocket on a vacation. Never had so much as a tiny scratch on any previous version.
- Can the new iPhone fold?utopian
- Sand's not supposed to scratch your phone, maybe you had a dud? https://youtu.be/LP6…zarkonite
- why, so you can show us how confused you are when you complain and point out they didn't invent folding phones?monospaced
- i know you just want to bring home some vacation atmosphere but that's a weird thing to keep sand in your pocket.sted

- maybe time to rebrand as iCamera, and mention in passing you can also make calls from it?hans_glib
- you know how when your granny die you got a shoebox of old photos and didn't know what to do with the 50 or so photos?shapesalad
- Imagine in 60 years time a 16 year old today dying and leaving their smartphone photos behind... all 500k+ photos. How do you even manage that?shapesalad
- You won't. You'll teach and condition an ML/AI agent and get that to do the heavy lifting for you.Nairn

all this brilliant technology, fancy innovation, beautiful materials, gorgeous colours and a notch. still with the mother-effing notch
- Does the notch take up existing screen real estate, or just add more on to the top, around the sides? I assume the latter. If so, I think it's a neat compromiseNairn
- it's all I can see lol https://i.gifer.com/…_niko
- It just adds more, it doesn’t take away.monospaced
- Is there not a setting to make the entire un-notched top black, to hide it?Nairn
- lol, I just saw this and the first thing I thought was "jesus, that notch is egregious" https://glass.photo/…Nairn
- Samsung is far superior from an industrial design POV. Has been for years.nb
- samsung, lol no. also never notice the notch. a non issue.inteliboy
- quite like the notch. i nightmare to work with when making mockups, but otherwise i don't mind it.scruffics

Wondering if someone can help me out here.
I have the apple subscription plan and get a new phone every year. I know the process for ordering a new phone.
My wife has a phone that isn't on the subscription plan but it's probably paid off now. I'm getting her on the subscription plan but wonder what we do with her old phone (iPhone 11). Can they be traded in towards the new phone like other Apple products?
- You can trade it for a credit, but the older the device the less you'll get; Otherwise Apple recycles it.
https://www.apple.co…evilpeacock - You should get more on Craigslist. Or are you too old for that shit? :)
It's still a perfectly good model btw.raf - That's the thing with iPhones now... I have a spare iPhone 7 on my desk, just updated it to iOS 15 (GM beta) and it's as good as new. Super snappy.raf
- Thanks. I just can't figure out how to do a trade-in through the apple store app, in conjunction with joining the subscription plan.mg33
- It makes sense that you can’t.nb
- You can trade it for a credit, but the older the device the less you'll get; Otherwise Apple recycles it.
- nb1
Is there any risk to choosing the Trade In option and then, when the new phone arrives, try to sell my phone on Craigslist for more than the trade in value. If it doesn’t sell, mail the trade?
- You gotta pay for the balance before you trade in and/or you lose ay trade in credits.ArmandoEstrada
- Yeah I know that. I don’t think you understand what I’m askingnb

Will this new Pro Max 13 iPhone now have the best camera on the market?

Do you understand the choice of color options Apple gives for their phones? Are these modern colors?
- Black, white, red, blue, green. All are traditional colors dating back thousands of years. ;)nb
- Blue didn't "exist" in the human mind until the around about the time of the Egyptians.Centigrade
- @Centigrade, you're kiddingmonospaced
- Google "blue didn't exist" ...Centigrade
- "more accurately, they probably saw it as we do now, but they never really noticed it."monospaced
- Pretty interested overview:
https://www.youtube.…Centigrade - Interesting indeed. Weird they wouldn’t name blue considering it’s a huge part of most daytime activity on the planet.monospaced

To iPad Pro or not to iPad Pro... that is the question.
Anyone got one? Worth it? A little tired of being stuck at the desk with the Wacom.
- Yes ofcgrafician
- pro yes 12" 2018 model still good, refurbished.shapesalad
- Pro, 3rd gen here. Love itGnash
- Basically do everything other than indesign and most photoshop stuff (still find photoshop easier on computer)Gnash
- But email, biz, research, illustration... all on iPad ProGnash
- yeah man I got my first one in 12 years, the new pro, drawing and painting is phenomenal, plus it's perfect for what Gnash outlined, replaces a laptop imo_niko
- plus sketching and creating art while on the couch watching TV or cafe/park has the Wacom beat hands down. no lag whatsoever ever too._niko
- And I just installed a PaperLike screen overlay and drawing / writing is 100% nicerGnash
- And PS and Illy OK on it?Centigrade
- Ps is meh. but mostly because I haven’t taken the time to figure it out it’s limitations I only do basic PS stuff on the iPadGnash
- It’s missing a lot of the desktop functionalityGnash
- I haven’t gone too deep on illy yet. Mostly because a hated the feel of the pen on the glass. Now that I got the PaperLike I’m starting to use itGnash
- Still haven’t settled for drawing. I’ve been using Procreate, Concepts, and Adobe fresco... among othersGnash
- With illy, I’m just finding the transition to using a pen and no mouse/keyboard a bit hard for this old brain. But it opens my ai files fineGnash
- Thanks for all the good info.Centigrade
- Gnash, I thought you had mentioned hating the paper like screen in the past so I avoided getting it lol, do you find it dulls colours or anything?_niko
- Pro + Pencil + Keyboard = fantasticnb
- @niko, they came out with an upgraded version that’s better. I saw it at a local shop and thought I’d try it.Gnash
- There is a slight visual issue -mostly because of my greazy finger smudges on the matte surface. But it’s much better that vrs 1Gnash
- And I hated using the pencil so much on the glossy surface that I’m ok with the downside nowGnash
- Ah got it thanks man, I’ll check it out then :)_niko

Anyone here using Homepods for home theater with Dolby Atmos?
There are very few reviews of that mode, and they are inconsistent. I guess room acoustics play a huge part.
- is this an ad?caterpus
- Your ears and the content play a huge part too.********
- your ears rely on the acoustics of the roommonospaced
- We need a better rooms that are built on the shape of our ears.ShenanigansTV

As an audio engineer and a high school graduate, I left the Apple life. Logic Pro is fine if you want a program to do all work for you until you actually need to do some work. My iMac is has been collecting dust after I got my PC 3 years ago bc i cant change my iVaccuum nad auotcurrect isnt on my dsektpo

What in the crap is going on with the address bar now being at the bottom of the viewport on Safari iOS 15??
- I guess the thinking is you have to really reach to get to it to type in URL. Kinda makes sensehardhat
- That would make sense; hadn't thought about it that way.mg33
- And you’re a ui ux guy ;)monospaced
- Easy reach.
Bottom menus are a must for mobile UX, especially for bigger screen phonesgrafician - WTF is with the title bar in dark gray sitting above the bookmarks bar?utopian
- I dig it. Makes far more sense, just gotta break the muscle memory.inteliboy
- It's def. based on UX with mobile footer being best for nav. And at least you can toggle it back to the old way.evilpeacock
