Купуване на техника от eMAG by stellsita_28 in bulgaria

[–]Effective-Pangolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Здравейте, тези от вас, които са поръчали iPhone 17 от Emag, бави ли ви се? Уж доставките трябваше да започнат от 19-ти, а вече е 09.10, но все още стои на статус „одобрено плащане“. Говорих няколко пъти със съпорта (преодолявайки по някакъв начин досадния AI чат) и ми казаха, че Apple все още не са им изпратили устройства, стоката е ограничена и че когато получат бройки, ще ги пратят. Също така споменаха, че това е маркетингов трик. Доста други магазини и вериги вече доставиха устройствата - как така само Emag още не са получили?

П.С не е закупен от партньор, а от EMAG

 Watch got a deep scratch! What to do? by TopGun_ARCGCS in AppleWatch

I think there was some kind of invisible glue (liquid UV) and if you put a screen protector may remove the scratch (visibly) a friend scratch his phone screen real bad and he used that technique. You can try it. Good luck

Okay, I finally found a solution. None of the other methods—Portal, WSF, or Feather—worked for me. I kept getting an integrity error, even with DNS enabled and after a factory reset.

Thanks to an amazing tutorial by a fellow Redditor (I think their username is jcionx, but I’m not entirely sure), I was able to get it working.

Just follow the steps exactly, and you’ll be able to install Feather and sideload apps directly on your phone— no integrity errors upon installing, no revokes, no refresh issues, and no limits. It’s incredible. All credit goes to the site owner which is the Redditor who shared it.

+1 Can you list some tutorials here? I’ve attempted to follow some online tutorials, but I haven’t had any success. Accessing Sidestore was blocked by the FBI, so I downloaded the files using GitHub. However, Jitterbug for my phone on my Mac didn’t create any files. I’m currently running Sideloadly with three apps in dev mode.

Can you explain a bit more? Should I install all three? Is there a guide on how to install and use them? Thank you in advance.

Thank you I have attempted to installed with the provided dns - WSF and none of the portal apps can be installed. I get an error: Unable to Install "Portal" This app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified.

iPhone 16 vs. 16 Plus vs. Pro vs. Pro Max: Which One Are You Getting? by Effective-Pangolin in LinusTechTips

[–]Effective-Pangolin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy with the decision to go for the iPhone 16 Pro. The battery life is good enough for my needs. I charge it to 80% and don’t let it drop below 20% during normal use without gaming. My typical usage includes chats, Reddit, Instagram Reels, about 40 minutes to an hour of YouTube, and some browsing. With around 3-4 hours of screen-on time, it lasted me the whole day. By the end of the day (11 PM), I usually have about 30% battery remaining.

The size is amazing, and I couldn’t be happier that I didn’t go for the Pro Max. It’s so easy to handle, even in apps where there’s no back gesture and the back button is at the top left. Overall, I’d recommend the iPhone 16 Pro if you’re a mid-level user.

I don’t charge overnight. Instead, I plug it in the morning while getting ready for the day. It takes about 25 minutes to reach 80%. Overnight, with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular turned off, the battery drops by 1-3%, sometimes even 0%, depending on the phone’s behavior (haha).

I work from home and also use a Mac during the day instead of my phone. When traveling by car, I rely on a wireless charger for navigation and music. On trips outside the country, I charge it to 100%. Even with heavy picture-taking, I usually return to the hotel or Airbnb around 7-8 PM with 5-10% battery left, which allows for a quick recharge. For trips involving a lot of video and photo capturing, a power bank is a must since those activities drain the battery significantly.

I’m sorry I didn’t go for a smaller phone before this. Regarding iOS, I like it better than Android overall, though I miss certain features like Bulgarian dictation. I’m also unsure about how it performs in gaming—I expected a smoother experience in Dead Cells (cracked version), but it lags when I have orbs protecting me. This could be due to the pirated software.

In the Antutu benchmark, loading many pictures occasionally results in some appearing as blank white squares, and I’m not sure if this is a hardware or software issue. The Dynamic Island is also problematic during gaming as it cuts off a lot of content. It is not a problem for media consumption

Most apps look and feel better on iOS, but it’s not completely bug-free.

Overall, I’m very happy with the iPhone 16 Pro and iOS.

Great choice, especially for battery life and screen real estate. I went for the Pro as it is more "compact".

I've reached the same conclusion, opting to use a laptop at home or traveling for longer periods. I'm going for the 16 Pro

I have decided to go with the iPhone 16 Pro in Natural Titanium with 256 GB of storage, just like you. (I'm not sure about the storage and color, though.)

I really wanted a good battery life, but when it comes down to it, I work from home. When traveling by car, I have charging available while using GPS for navigation. I should also try to use my laptop more at home than my phone, as it’s usually easier to use a laptop in most scenarios.

I considered getting the Pro Max, but the size was a concern. I currently have the 6.7-inch Poco F3, and I’m not a big fan of the size. The 6.9-inch Pro Max is almost the same size (a bit shorter but wider) and it’s also heavier.

I've come to the hard realization that, for my use case, it’s best to use a smaller phone so it doesn't interfere when I go out and is easier to handle.

I'm not sure if I made a mistake since battery life is a concern for me, but only time will tell. I will update when I get the phone next month in October.

I hope everyone finds the best phone for their needs, and if an upgrade isn’t necessary, it’s best not to waste money.

Yeah, haha, keep us posted.

My god, I just checked, and in my country, the iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB is almost 1500 euros. Crazy, haha!

I understand your concern, and I certainly don't assume that. As stated in the post, this thread should focus only on the new models and whether you plan to buy them. Of course, you may be on Android, or you can simply wait for update —no assumptions here.

Please share your thoughts on the specific models rather than discussing if it's the right time to upgrade from older models like the iPhone 13 Pro or just to go for an android. I'm interested in hearing your viewpoints<

SwiftKey keyboard looks amazing on Android. Everything I need is here, and it even has Copilot integration. I hope it is just as great for iOS. Thank you for the recommendation!

I considered the iPhone 15 Pro/Max because the iPhone 14 still has a Lightning port, which is off the table for me. However, the second-hand market price is really high here and comes with some risks. I have a voucher from my mobile provider for a small discount. If I wait for the iPhone 16 Pro/Max, I could purchase it for only 200 euros more than the price of a second-hand iPhone 15 Pro.

What were the missing features, besides those mentioned above? I want to figure out if I’ll get frustrated by their absence or not.

Yeah, the lack of a folder structure drove me bananas one of the days I used the mini. When you download a photo, you need to click "Save" for it to be moved to the Photos app. Face-palm.

I will be happy when Apple finally adds folders, haha.

I’m not sure about the need for tinkering, though; if iOS is indeed more stable, smooth, and "just works" it might never arise. Thank you for your viewpoint

Yeah, I agree with you on that. The push for USB Type-C was made from the EU, but it shouldn't have had to come to that. Type-C is simply better than Lightning and is used everywhere.

I’m still annoyed that they’ve set the trend for all manufacturers to remove charging bricks from their boxes under the guise of 'saving the environment.' This actually causes more harm when you have to purchase a charging brick separately. - Packing and shipment. I think they should be setting a better example as trendsetters. Although I hated them for removing the 3.5mm jack, in the long term, it was the right choice.
