Holy shit the battery drain on the ios16 update is just ludicrous
Don’t update until they fix this insanity
- Haven't noticed an appreciable difference, tbh.Continuity
- Don't they do this on purpose every couple of releases? Capitalism never sleeps.Chimp
- my phone was fully charged when I went to bed and this morning I woke up and it was 16%_niko
- it's literally draining before my eyes. But I guess it could be model specific that's the issue_niko
- Well, it should be noted that I'm running it on both my XS and 12 Pro, and it seems fine in both cases. Don't know which you're running ...Continuity

?milfhunter - Happens on every new update. The phone is making a lot of database updates and other optimizations in the background. Can take days. Be patient.ArmandoEstrada

Got the 14 Pro today. Dynamic Island feels subtle and makes so much sense. It's a clever little solve to the notch for sure.

I was considering buying the iPhone 14 Pro but I still don't like the form factor.
The boxy design with hard edges is not ergonomic at all, it feels crap holding it in the hand compared to my Galaxy S21. I know Samsung went to rip off Apple with S22 which is why I will go for the S21 FE edition for another 2 years and then decide again.
And the bezels on iPhones still too large.
Hopefully we get a new design in the next 2 years that will improve these things.
Just my 2c

- Samsung has had better industrial design (from the outside, anyway) than Apple for like 7 years nownb
- I don’t know enough about the entire process. But pick up any S-series & iPhone from the same year and the Samsung is better.nb
- Yeah the inside and software is so ahead of everything at Apple but the outside hardware of the iPhone isn't as nice.NBQ00
- That’s why Samsung can charge more and why they are more popular.monospaced
- Yup. But a new iPhone is still a top story in a small-market local news program. sheeshnb

I am a week into an iPhone 14, and a week and a half into iOS 16.
One major thing is making me insane, and that is the changes they seem to have made to voice dictation. It seems like it is interpreting any minor pause in dictation as a comma. Typically, I would insert a comma by saying “comma.” Now, when I proofread messages or text that I have inputted with voice dictation, it’s littered with commas in strange spots that I didn’t insert.
It also seems as though the predictive nature of voice to text has gotten worse, where it consistently uses the wrong words even though the words I spoke, were relatively generic in simple words in the context of what I was saying. Like, up above with the word “pause,” it typed that out as paws despite an animal, Paul, having nothing to do with the nature of what I was describing. It used to be much smarter than this, I don’t know what has changed, but it is super annoying. I use voice to text all the time.

iPhone 14 Pro arrived yesterday. Overall, I quite like it, and the dynamic island thingy is actually quite cool.
Cameras are fantastic, I'm going to be playing a lot with them, and seeing what 24 fps video footage looks like.
What I'm not really keen on is the camera module itself. It's fucking gargantuan, to the point of almost being a parody of itself.
- The camera is the Pro part.monospaced
- Still slightly smaller than an SLR xoxoxnb

Daily driver finally packed in after nearly 13 years.
I have a Rev 2 (for 7 years) but the downtime from bottom charging has kept the original in pretty much daily use. A proper wireless charging version is really fucking overdue!

- stupid post is stupid. you can charge that thing for a week while you take a leakimbecile
- the downtime isn't the issue, apple has added wireless charging to every peripheral in the last 5 years while the 7 y/o mouse is (marginally) less convenientkingsteven
- than it's 13 year old predecessor. i don't even mean in-use charging. if i could leave this on a pad overnight a few nights a month it would never diekingsteven

If you had to choose:
$2600 Mac studio with 64 ram + 1tb drive or
$2300 Mac studio refurb 32gb + 2tb drive.
I still need to get a monitor (likely the dell ultrasharp 27". My late 2015 imac is finally starting to show its age. I think I should go for the extra ram for future proofing a bit.
- 64 ram if you using AE or something heavy. You can get external fast HD's for project files.shapesalad
- I'm in the same boat, my iMac is dying a slow death and I'm trying to hold out for a new iMac 27" but who knows when and if they'll release one_niko
- thanks! I'm probably gonna get the 32 since I rarely touch AE. I'm curious how much they'd give for my 2015 and 2009 imacs lolkaiyohtee
- $2600 Mac studio with 64 ram + 1tb driveinstrmntl
- Ram will get you a bit more longevity. You can always buy external drives for cheap.duckseason
- In addition the obvious performance improvements.duckseason
- I’d pick the 64gb ram one and expand storage externally if i need it laterscarabin
- 64 ram one will have a better resale value if you need to sell it next year when/if a decent iMac 27 m2 comes out.shapesalad
- 64. I have the 32 and its more than enough but if I had a choice...ArmandoEstrada
- I'll take the PC option at half the price and twice the speedYakuZoku
- If the 64GB is on stock, yeah go for it.
If not, that will set you back a few months of waiting so go for 32GB nothing "normal" will need that kind of RAMgrafician - For $300 you might as well get the extra RAM and newer machineHayoth
- Also don't forget that the SOC architecture needs *less* RAM than Intel, so 32 (AS) is more like 64 (Intel), and so on. Bigger is better, but you get more here.evilpeacock

I got the new AirPods Pro a couple weeks ago and I like the fact that the noise canceling effect is... quieter. It's less of a hiss than the first gen had.
Also nice, and not a feature specific to the new ones, but I'm using the medium sized ear tip for the first time, and had used only the large with my previous pair, because one of the medium tips ripped when trying to install it. Medium fits better, I occasionally have to press the left one in a bit to keep a good seal, but they feel almost like they're not even in my ear.

How do you close all apps at once on the iphone 14 pro?
How do you set the power button "double click or triple click to take a picture or video?Thanks in advance

- you shoot at it to close all apps.pango
- @mono - what's this double/triple nonsense? You open camera, take picture. To close all apps, you click "close all", simple.formed
