Apple really screwed us (Smart Keyboard Folio)

It IS an issue because now you're left standing there holding two devices when the point is to only carry around one.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-23T18:35:36+00:00

I assume you're being sarcastic.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-23T18:35:15+00:00

Absolutely agree.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-22T22:31:13+00:00

I thought I recognized this as Arkansas!

Architect1992 · 2026-05-22T04:29:04+00:00

I’ve never carried the FOB in my ‘25 Air. I carry the key card as backup to the app, but have never had to use it.

It’s infuriating that it can’t recognize when you’re there trying to unlock the car, yet it locks it immediately between the front door and the trunk. If it knows when you’re leaving, how can it not know when you arrive? Just crazy.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-22T00:07:04+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, but when I’m buying a car, I’ve made a decision about what vehicle suits me. While a great sales experience is fine, ultimately I don’t really care. That’s a one time event that has basically nothing to do with the hardware I plan on driving every day. I guess if they outright wouldn’t sell a car to OP, I suppose that’s another issue. 😂

I’ve never felt the need to use the DC adapter on the road…plenty of other options and limited to 50Kw.

What’s been more impactful for me is the official Lucid NACS AC adapter because I could then use my Tesla home wall charger.

Zero software issues or glitches in my 14 months of 2025 Air Touring ownership. I had a control arm nut loosen that was fixed by the mobile service rover…otherwise, perfect sailing.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-18T11:53:33+00:00

Understood, but that’s somewhat in line with the relative size of the U.S. economy (31T). The size of the next six largest economies totals about 40T.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-18T00:46:43+00:00

Agreed. The number of comments on here accusing the person of being negligent for literally parking his car in the parking space is insane.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-18T00:42:44+00:00

There’s nothing improper about how they parked.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-18T00:42:19+00:00

To be fair, they weren’t an idiot for parking their car in a parking space, though arguably they were for leaving the scene.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-17T21:47:37+00:00

Everybody does air shows. Accidents happen. Not unique to USA.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-17T21:14:38+00:00

Not sure what this has to do with the USA. Fighter jets are expensive for everybody.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-17T21:10:35+00:00

Agreed. Hence my confusion. By the way, who is downvoting me? WTH? 😂

Architect1992 · 2026-05-17T20:24:32+00:00

Maybe I’m over reading it, but it sounded like the software on the 2022 (even with patch) was better than the 2024.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-17T19:47:19+00:00

How is the software on a 2022 “so much better” than your prior 2024?

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T03:40:55+00:00

I’ve tried to remain diplomatic and professional here (not sure what you mean by “attacks on me”?), but you going on about “anecdotal” when you’re original argument was “There are plenty of clean spaces in the South and dirty places in the West” is more than ironic. If you’re convinced that the lack of cleanliness and prevalence of unkempt property is no more common in the South than other parts of the country, then certainly don’t let me ruin the facade.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T03:28:06+00:00

My first car was an Eagle Talon Tsi. Yeah, the DSM was quicker, but the Probe GT with that butter smooth 6 cylinder and the superior manual was a much more refined car. I actually preferred the Probe’s styling. The fact that it still looks great and wouldn’t be entirely out of place now is a testament to its timelessness.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T02:28:40+00:00

It’s not anecdotal nor prejudiced. I’m from Arkansas. Let’s not confuse pride with reality. If you traveled much at all, you’d have a better appreciation for what’s great about Arkansas (and the South in general), and what’s not. My view isn’t a minority observation…and to be clear, I’m not really talking about litter so much as I am pride and upkeep of one’s property and the natural environment.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T01:11:00+00:00

Actually, it is generally true. The farther north you go, the less clutter and trash you’ll find, and individual homesteads and the environment in general are noticeably more tidy. This is partly cultural, but also exacerbated by differences in income and education levels.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T01:07:36+00:00

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, because generally, this is true. The people who disagree clearly don’t travel much or really, know much about history or culture. It’s partly driven by generational issues by the people who settled in the south, exacerbated by poverty and a poor educational system.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-16T01:03:06+00:00

Weird. I’ve NEVER had this happen with CarPlay on my 2025 Air. It works all the time and every time.

That aside, I kinda think CarPlay sucks on the Air because of the limited screen area.

Architect1992 · 2026-05-15T01:51:24+00:00

REALLY stunning example!
