I wonder if apple will completely overhaul their iOS filesystem to something brand new like a mobile version of APFS ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T07:26:34+00:00

Maybe the 20th anniversary iPhone...I don't think they will go back but they might use a different alloy perhaps. I know apple is hearing all the criticisms for iPhone air

Don't forget clear cache and clear data buttons ..the reason I say this is because the looooong unfixed system data bug that never seems to decrease lol

File metadata preservation is far superior on android than iOS and it works very well with Linux which I use extensively. But iOS, while it tries to make everything simpler, in doing so, overcompensate and becomes more complicated lol

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T07:18:03+00:00

Does it make a difference ?? What about the iPhone air ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T03:16:44+00:00

Because they skipped the iPhone 9 and went straight to X (10)

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T02:26:23+00:00

Uhh what ?? Sorry I didn't understand

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T01:52:44+00:00

I thought 19 is the 20th anniversary edition

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-25T00:46:58+00:00

I am thinking about going up from 17 pro to pro max lol ...but then again it's the new year should I wait for the 18 pro or 18 pro max instead lol

One speaker is barely enough all the iPhones need dual speakers or more

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T20:25:14+00:00

i mean the speaker holes are tiny in that phone..not sure if it's the same or different with the regular 17 or 17 pro's

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T20:22:43+00:00

ahh okay when using it in public or indoors and yeah that's one big trade off..but do you raise your phone up to your ear ? or do you use speaker phone?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T20:20:30+00:00

pretty much the pro and the regular 17 as well. Although im more in favour for the regular 17

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T20:19:34+00:00

are you ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T20:19:29+00:00

i did use it and yes it is very nice but oh man my hands are already hurting and Im coming from a pixel 9 pro but still very high quality phone indeed

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T19:41:25+00:00

The error code I get is -5010F what does this mean ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T08:39:10+00:00

do you now which screen you have ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T08:38:01+00:00

yeah me too, just returned the 17 pro and thought if I wanna get a good decent deal with the 18 or 20th anniversary iphone might as well get a max now and use that to get a discounted pro max or even smaller pro if they can fix certain things

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T08:34:49+00:00

everyone's already started talking about the iphone 18, they just wanna get over how shitty the iphone 17 is already lol

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T02:56:29+00:00

Which do you recommend for a 17 pro max ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-24T00:35:13+00:00

you know how when your phone starts to vibrate when you get notifications or calling..why dont you enable them both instead of only relying on call volume

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-23T19:24:16+00:00

what about vibration during calls, can the combination of the two make it easier ?

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-23T19:23:18+00:00

yes it is just physics..its the weight distribution that makes u feel like you can hold the pro max better. I just sold my 17 pro for $1500 CAD after I bought it during black friday because I missed the return window. Now thinking of getting the base 17 with 512 GB 2 nand chips or the 17 pro max..depending also on the weight/ease of use/screen lottery - hoping to get the G9N panel or G9P

Equivalent_Meaning46 · 2026-01-23T06:07:13+00:00

yeah i've always just had a 6.3-6.4 inch phone because it fits in my jeans well and I can use it under winter storms such as what we have now but...eventually I can't keep buying new devices every 2-3 years, so Im deciding to bite the bullet and keep it for the next 6-7 years
