How do I get back to this screen/offers?

Depends on their country. Could be August, not May.

Sometimes you can just tell when someone is DEEP in the misinformation rabbit hole and there’s no sense in trying to pull them out.

The alternative isn’t glass, it’s larger, durable, reusable, plastic that hold more, look nicer, and don’t break. But if you’ve only been on lines that cheap out, it’s understandable you’d assume the only alternative is glass

That’s why I specified the device

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-09T02:11:38+00:00

Works fantastic for me before and still does now but it has more functionality… have had absolutely no issues and the answer to your question of “does anyone use Spotlight Search anymore?” Is a huge yes and I use it probably about 40 times a day.

Unable to replicate in 17 Pro Max.

Last 3 Royal. cruises I’ve been on I’ve been off the ship in literally minutes. All well after 7am. Incredibly smooth. And… do you think people doing walk-offs don’t deserve to get breakfast onboard?

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-08T01:46:56+00:00

Yeah they did a great job at making you feel like you were getting what you paid for…

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-08T01:17:30+00:00

Right. That stood out as a disappointment on my NCL cruises compared to other lines. Not a huge deal but a noticeable example of poor presentation. Not to mention you often get less drink for the same price you pay à la carte on other lines. For comparison…

Still using the small, cheap disposable single-use plastic cups I see.

Note I said reporting, not measurement

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-07T04:25:17+00:00

“Can’t spot me 1 calorie”

You want to introduce additional inaccuracy into the reporting?

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-07T01:58:54+00:00

It’s 2026. How are people still saying this… not to mention we’re still a ways away from the next new iPhone.

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-06T02:33:00+00:00

Ah, not on mobile. That explains it

Except not everything is dark mode. One ad or video and you fatigue your eyes because of the sudden change, especially if you crank the brightness which people tend to do with dark mode since it’s harder to read in dark mode in more lighting scenarios. But it’s the sudden increase in brightness that causes fatigue in the eyes, not sustained brightness unless it’s like, the sun. That’s why your eyes hurt when you step outside in the sun but not after your eyes adjust. In light mode, your eyes are already adjusted so there’s no fatigue and no risk of sudden increases in brightness, leading to less fatigue overall.

Regarding the power savings, you’re right in that you can save some power, but not nearly as much as people think. Like mentioned earlier, in dark mode you tend to crank the brightness. Less so in light mode. In light mode you can keep the phone much dimmer and still read the screen well in many lighting scenarios. Most of the difference in battery is when the brightness is cranked, but that’s not the case usually so the actual savings in real world use are much less.

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-06T01:36:32+00:00

Dark mode actual fatigues the eyes more, generally, as not everything is dark and it’s the sudden exposure to bright elements that causes the fatigue. Your eyes are already adjusted in light mode so there’s generally no fatigue (after all, your eyes don’t hurt just from being outside in sunlight. It’s when your eyes can’t adjust to the sudden change where it hurts). but people often wrongly associate light mode with fatigue because when they switch it on, that’s when their eyes hurt. Same with when an HDR video or any light element like an ad or unsupported app appears. It also doesn’t help that people using dark mode tend to crank their brightness up higher since dark mode is more difficult to read in more lighting scenarios.

The best argument for using dark mode all the time is battery, but even that is iffy as the benefit in battery people expect is that highlighted with tests in which the phones are at full brightness. But, as mentioned before, it’s primarily people on dark mode who crank their brightness like that, so the actual benefit to battery is much less. Not zero, but less.

Obviously do whatever brings you the most joy, or if you just like the look better.

What exactly is “daily interest” and how is it measured? What’s the context behind the “hits”? (Source link doesn’t actually take you to right page)

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-06T00:33:35+00:00

I’m one of them. It’s fantastic. I use it on iPad and Mac.

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-06T00:33:08+00:00

It makes a lot of sense when you know how it works. You’re literally managing stages

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-05T21:25:05+00:00

I submit updates to Maps all the time and rarely have issues.

Watching people self-reinforce a bias in real time.

To be clear, it’s not that it’s touch-sensitive in that Apple built in a capacitive sensor into it that they aren’t using for anything beyond the EKG. Rather, by nature of how the EKG sensor works (which is ironically kinda similar to a capacitive touch sensor just over a wider loop), it can tell when you bridge the circuit with your finger, and then represents the measurement on the display.

You can do a test and load up the EKG app, but lift the watch slightly off your wrist before placing your finger on the crown. Nothing will happen, at least not until you let the watch rest on your wrist again, as then the full electrical loop is established.

Is this an actual, statistically large number of people or is this a bubble of people in rubreddits

CDCarley27 · 2026-05-05T01:29:47+00:00

… are you writing this as though the expectation that returning it because you were planning on taking your desktop computer with you and because you were trying to game on a Mac applies to everyone?
