This is only a minor update from 17.4 to 17.5 what are you talking about.

It is confirmed by Apple to be true.

This is not revolutionary as Android had had this for I want to say a decade, but this is a huge deal in usability because the way Apple handles app ordering is ludicrous.

I’m currently reading your comment on Voyager, which is the Lemmy version of Apollo lol.

The same publishing company (but different development studio) recently released a simplified, licensed Star Trek game built on the Stellaris Engine.

It’s a little rough around the edges right now but it’s an official Star Trek title and it’s much easier to get into than Stellaris, and it’s currently on sale for $20

Apple Watch batteries are certain not industry leading. The average battery life of an Apple Watch is 18 hours. 36 if you have it in low power mode the entire time. The Fitbit versa on the other hand will give you four days.

One of the biggest pills to swallow when switching from my Versa 2 to Apple Watch was the severe drop in battery life.

The validity of your comment really depends on which movie franchise you’re referencing

Apple does collect data, but not nearly as much as Google does. There is a lot more processing and storing done on-device than with Google, and Apple in recent years has been leaning into E2E encryption. Apple also does a slightly better job currently of protecting your data from third party apps.

I pick and choose which Apple services I use based on the varying importance of privacy/usability for each one, and I did opt into the advanced data protection, which is a killer feature when it comes to OOTB privacy.

You’re right that Apple is no saint either, but they’re definitely the lesser of two evils, and your only real alternative after Apple is an open source OS like Graphene.

I do both already but it hasn’t helped. I think it has something to do with how iOS hides a lot of notifications behind a second swipe. That’s just never been intuitive for me and I don’t look under the second swipe except for like once a week when I think of it.

Switching from a Pixel 5 to IPhone 13 Pro was difficult for me as well. iOS just has such an… antiquated feel compared to stock Android on Pixel phones. Every day there’s something I end up missing about my old Pixel but I’m sticking with Apple for now due to a vetted effort to de-Google.

The good news is, with every new iOS update, they steal just a few more features that Android has had for years, so over time iOS does feel more and more like a flavor of Android.

I have the opposite issues. I’m constantly overloaded with notifications and I get teased all the time because I end up with a notification history going back a full week. I’ve had N iPhone for 2 years and I just haven’t seem to have got a hang of iPhone notifications lol.

That’s odd. Didn’t happen to my 13 pro.

It’s one very well known YouTuber specifically, whose entire thing is testing iPhones for stupid problems like these, ever since it happened last time with the IPhone 6. And they’re not drop tests, the test is putting a minimal amount of lateral pressure on the phone like what would happen if you were to put your phone in your pocket. And what was found was that a small amount of pressure on the phone will cause it to bend and break, like with the iPhone 6. The validity of JerryRigEverything isn’t really questionable as he performs this test on every Apple product and they usually pass. here’s him doing the same thing to your old phone where you can see it holds up just fine, unlike the 15 PM. It’s bendgate 2, electric boogaloo.

What’s to stop you from bumping that button in your pocket and accidentally causing your car to come on and run for 15 minutes?

They’ve done it before. This exact issue was prevalent in the iPhone 6, it was a huge issue at the time.

The findings here are that the 15PM would be much less tough than your 11.

I mean, the implication here is that none of your phones were as easy to break as this one. So this one is the most likely to be your first to break.

Wow that’s pretty bad. I haven’t seen even one instance of this. I wonder what’s causing that.

I’ve found it to be phenomenal. What’s it doing that you don’t like?

I’m sure it was a direct reference.
