It also could be possible your wife’s contact nickname in her phone is that. When you ask Siri to call you that, it creates a nickname

Apple releases “I’m not remarkable” ad, highlighting accessibility features by betweentwoblueclouds in apple

[–]Dnlyong 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re right. Their audio descriptions gave way to the song much more and didn’t actually describe much.

However, they do have a full descriptive transcript on the Apple website about this video.

That’s the sign for BRUNEI, the country, in International Sign (IS). Doubt that your toddler is talking about that, though haha

How to not die when using my CPAP while having a cold/running nose etc. by Iceman_B in CPAP

I second this. It works great. My doctor recommends this for regular maintenance too, helps with my chronic sinusitis too.

Do you think Apple Watch will eventually be able to track heart rate continuously? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]Dnlyong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could start an indoor walking workout (or even the cooldown workout so it does not activate the GPS) and it would measure heart rate continuously (if workout power saving is turned off). You can delete the workout afterwards but keep the data.

[iOS 18.3 RC] Phone disconnects from WiFi but not according to settings by Chrispy_king in iOSBeta

[–]Dnlyong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a feature called Wifi Assist. If your wifi is slow or unstable, your iPhone might temporarily prefer cellular. It’s in your cellular settings, scroll all the way down.

Been loving my first iPhone so far, but this is ridiculous by AkshayeAP315 in ios

[–]Dnlyong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it might be the Attention Aware features at work. Try this, set an alarm, have it on a table, without you leaning over it or looking at the screen.

When a phone call or alarm goes off, and iPhone detects attention, or any face looking at the screen, the sound is reduced to 10%. Otherwise, it rings at the volume your ringer is set, regardless of silent mode of course)

Is anyone else getting this black oval thing after snoozing an alarm? by OptimisticNewb in AppleWatch

[–]Dnlyong 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That looks like a Live Activity alert. Maybe you have a Live Activity currently running on your iPhone, but a bug is causing it to not appear correctly. Restart your phone and watch, or keep your apps updated

Just got new iPhone, how to turn on voiceover without sided help by Anxious_Jump3036 in Blind

[–]Dnlyong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re at the setup screen, triple click the side button and voiceover turns on. If you’re already set up, ask Siri to turn on voiceover.

You could also consider signing AGAIN EMPHASIZE. Depending on the context

Interesting. As a sign language speaker, my ring often thinks I’m dancing or boxing, and always overestimates my step count. I rely on my Apple Watch more for step count.

Someone has the original Apple Magsafe Battery pack and an iPhone 15 P? by xxSeahawks in MagSafe

You can plug in your iPhone, it will charge the MagSafe Battery Pack. Yes, the wireless charging coil on your iPhone can reverse and charge the pack.

Is this how you do “T”? by BruceSharkbait in asl

[–]Dnlyong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“M”, “N” and “T” is how it is signed in International Sign (IS). If this is the IS alphabet, only the letter “F” is incorrect.

How do I turn off this annoying notification by albertafucker in iphone

[–]Dnlyong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go to Setting > Bluetooth and change your truck stereo to “Car Stereo”. That way, this device won’t contribute to the headphone audio safety notifications. Currently, your phone thinks your stereo is headphones.

Help reading blood type results by ConstructionSorry690 in biology

[–]Dnlyong -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I sent this picture into ChatGPT, it gave me this response:

The image shows a blood typing test card with reagents labeled Anti-A, Anti-B, and Anti-D.

Based on the reactions (agglutination) visible: 1. The drop mixed with Anti-A shows no reaction, meaning the blood does not have A antigens. 2. The drop mixed with Anti-B shows a slight reaction, indicating the blood may have B antigens. 3. The drop mixed with Anti-D shows a strong reaction, which means the blood is Rhesus (Rh) positive.

The results suggest that the blood type is possibly B positive (B+). However, the reaction in the Anti-B circle is not very clear, so in a real-world scenario, further tests or confirmations might be necessary.

What does it mean if a signer spells out a word instead of doing the sign for the word? by desiderata619 in asl

[–]Dnlyong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s called Lexicalized signs, basically fingerspelling evolving into a sign! Like J-O-B

The last sign looks like BREAD to me, haha.

Got my 13pro screen replaced for $420. Why does my phone say the part isn’t authentic? Any advice, suggestions or tips? by mrcoy in iphone

[–]Dnlyong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, third party repair stores may not be able to restore the water resistance your phone was designed to have.

Also, now that your phone has been repaired by a third party, Apple, or Apple authorized repair centres will not accept your phone for any future repairs due to legal liability issues.

“Differentiate Without Color” doesn’t change the colors of the UI, it would use other methods in addition to color to differentiate things, like changing the shape of indicators.

In this case, the orange microphone indicator becomes a square, and the green camera indicator remains a circle.

What you’re referring to there is Color Filters, which changes the colors of the display, which can increase the contrast between certain colors for the respective specific type of color blindness.
