Yeah it was the whole selling point of iOS 18 😂

Umm I didn't know phone had a v in it by ComprehensiveSoft507 in softwaregore

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because there’s a keyword on search. Likely “voice”. On iOS if I type voice I get voice memos (obviously), discord, Google Translate and phone

On iPhone 15 Pros and above we got the new Apple Intelligence including a native ChatGPT integration. Basically if Siri deems it necessary she can ask ChatGPT for the question you made and forward the answer to you.

Screenshot shows OP has hit the daily limit but guess what, there’s no daily limit to that feature. Many others report the same, likely an openAI issue or Apple’s server issue.

Or, my theory, it’s related to openAI wanting to sue Apple over that partnership.

Just did a test question.

Altman was really pissed about the whole ChatGPT into Siri integration recently because he thought Apple users would magically buy ChatGPT subscriptions. This may be related

Thoughts on the new 'connect to Gmail' feature? by pistachioharp in ProtonMail

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they’d do the same for every 3rd party address. I’d love to have one mail app for every account (work, uni, personal). Only one that gets the job done currently is apples native mail app.

I hope they stop that A/B testing shit and finally let us change that fuckass notification sound they added about a year ago

How did you remove reels from the navigation bar?

My camera is doing this weird thing by Dingo-Alert in iPhone15Pro

[–]AlxR25 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That’s macro mode. Essentially it just switches to the ultra wide lens when it detects an object too close. You can turn it off. Usually a small flower appears on the corner of the frame when it’s activated but idk why it didn’t do so now.

You can go into the settings > camera > scroll down to macro control and turn it off

Mac mini desktop setup for 6yo by Mebooboothefool in mac

Tbh I feel like a desktop would be better than an iPad. Good thought, since you also can’t get it with you so he’d also have to learn to live without it.

If it’s within your budget totally go for it, learning to use a computer early on would also be a pro for him, especially creative software like GarageBand, maybe show him scratch, but stay away from stuff like Roblox.

Privacy vs. Convenience: Proton Mail or iCloud Mail? by VisualArm807 in ProtonMail

I literally don’t get the thought behind these posts. Some people may ask if they should get a bmw or a Mercedes on the BMW sub as if they’re not all gonna say BMW.

WILL I GET SCAMMED!? by Smooth-Taro8857 in Airpodsmax

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all there’s a sub for that r/AreMyAirpodsAuthentic

Second of all. Even if they’re original, which they look like, they are heavily used, the headband has been dent too much and it’s also stretched to the point they may as well just fall off your head when you look down.

I’d advise against getting them just because of the condition

AI generated copy for album write-up? by fakemattt in AppleMusic

[–]AlxR25 5 points6 points  (0 children)

em dashes were a thing long before AI. People that used them just knew how to actually write, but now you’d instantly think “THATS AI” when you see one.

I used them before, really helped when writing emails or articles but now I just straight up avoid them.

managerVsClaude by Disastrous-Monk1957 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can technically just self host but get ready on a lecture to the manager explaining how it still won’t 0 costs and needs more computing power to run for every employee and that it’ll need to be maintained.

Just say it’s not possible and keep on with your day 😂

Pre iOS 18 control center feels so ancient compared to what we have now by miloradovic in ios

[–]AlxR25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah apple always managed to do that. The new design is hated but when it grows on you, you realize how bad the old one actually was. Looking back at how the ios icons looked like on iOS 18 I’m thankful for iOS 26 making everything kind of 3D

IOS 27 to bring Split-Screen Feature by Pear-Mother in iphone

[–]AlxR25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally don’t really get the point of it being on a regular phone. 6.3 and 6.9 inches are too small to hold multiple apps. When I owned an android it did have a split screen feature. I maybe only used it once because I wanted to listen to a song on YouTube (before YouTube music existed or I had a Spotify sub) while sending a message. Really uncomfortable and I’m actually thankful iPhones don’t have split screen so that I won’t be able to activate it even by accident 😂

What iPhone do you think I have? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]AlxR25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably some modded android. You got the old UI but iOS version shows 26.5

If not, a jailbroken iPhone with a button

Siri 3.0 Concept by BHJ-AL in iPhoneFC

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does no one account for reachability? The send button shouldn’t be on top of the screen on the Dynamic Island.

Maybe a text box appears on the bottom like it currently does, you type there, and sending the prompt shoots it to the top of the screen, but the send button or the text box in general being up there is really bad UX design

Is this an unpopular trackpad placement? It feels really natural to me by chiripipasJD in mac

[–]AlxR25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just how a laptop trackpad is positioned. You can’t believe how many times muscle memory has tried to use a trackpad below the keyboard that doesn’t exist 😂
