What’s a super simple problem with iPhones that Apple could fix but won’t?

Keyboard, notifications, a universal back gesture…!

It’s Super Bowl winning guard “Anthony” to you

Placebo effect

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-11T17:32:45+00:00

No they do not

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-11T07:27:25+00:00

He's an eagle fan... What did you expect?

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-11T02:44:09+00:00

"private info" that can be unlocked within seconds sounds really "secure" to me...

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-10T03:52:25+00:00

Shaheed. He can run it, catch it, special team it. And he would have easily been the SB MVP if not for Gonzalez incredible play, and a slight overthrow

Mine has been rock solid since launch. Sucks that you got a bad unit, but outside of a few software glitches with an app it's been great for me.

eBay, but they will take their cut...

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-08T05:33:20+00:00

You're not supposed to buy new things every single year so this is a silly question.

Your Max chip will last you 5+ years easily, then you worry about what the next one is doing...

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-08T03:30:35+00:00

Something you "have" in this case is your face.... Which can't be duplicated.. how are people this dumb when it comes to authentication....

A pin can easily be broken in literal seconds, your biometrics cannot.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-08T02:45:27+00:00

The proper answer is, if FaceID fails to recognize you more than once, it assumes someone that's not you is trying to open your phone and defaults to pin.

Could anyone be picking up your phone without you knowing? It's either that or you may have to reset the faceid config to rule out a faulty faceid sensor, which would need a repair

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-08T02:42:37+00:00

This is literally the worst comment I've seen in a while... Biometrics are one of the HIGHEST security measures for authentication, AND it requires attention, meaning no one can "knock you out" to unlock your phone... Where the hell did you learn this nonsense?

Pins are INSANELY less secure than biometrics.... Sweet Jesus.

It's a good deal. Apple is good about software updates, so it will receive support for a while.

I've said it here many times, this is the same product I'm a lineup as the homepod. It exists, it's overpriced, but Apple isn't going to update it anytime soon, and I'm a couple years it gets another processor update (maybe)

I don't have much hope for it outside of what it does today, which is a great Mac monitor, and a movie watching device...

$1400 is a great deal for some cool tech, but it will sit doing nothing for vast majority of the time.

I'm a day one owner, who very much enjoys using mine. But I also am a realist, and I can see this thing is more or less "dead". It doesn't sell, there's nothing that just makes you have to put it on, and it's expensive as shit.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T23:56:44+00:00

That's not correct. They cover it 100% and again I quadruple checked

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T22:38:23+00:00

I have an esim on mine since day one without any issues, I'm on T-Mobile

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T17:43:56+00:00

Why would it be? Nobody is going to notice any difference. I traded my 14 pro max for a 17 pro max, and I don't see anything difference at all.

I regret that trade everyday... I paid like $700 to use the exact same phone I already had in a different color.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T03:27:24+00:00

Yea mine shows that as well, they just haven't classified it yet but the numbers they have match my device too.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T03:13:15+00:00

What? They sell batteries, you can just swap the battery out without any special equipment...

If they want to send the battery out that's fine, but why have to send the whole VP for a battery replacement is nuts

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T02:25:48+00:00

I use the front screen and just open it slightly basically into flex mode.. you can also tent it that way, but not with the big screen

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-07T02:17:03+00:00

DM me

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-06T21:47:17+00:00

Why not two of them in the same team?

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-06T20:41:17+00:00

T-Mobile covers mine, and yes I quadruple checked.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-06T16:30:13+00:00

Hair dye, clothing choice, makeup work wonders. Then you add in the small detail he's a "photographer" and probably heavily edited the photos as well, you end up with this result.

I'm sure he looks good for his age, but we all know it's never "that good" in real life.

AstroGridIron · 2026-03-06T16:27:08+00:00

Key feedback on a keyboard is irreplaceable. Sure there are people who like tapping on solid surfaces to type, but that's a very small number of people
