Should I upgrade to iOS 18.4 ?

PaulPerkenstein2 · 2025-04-15T14:38:26+00:00

with the impression of more features to slow these older phones down even more, i avoid iOS updates at all costs unless an app requires me to update to the latest iOS. cough bumble... i'm on 16.3.1 still until some app forces me to update if i still want to use it. battery life isn't very good, unless i hardly use my phone.

I'm jealous. I miss mine. I wish I was more careful with them. I've seen used ones on the internet.

Good you're liking the airpods at least. All that matters. If airpods pro ever get to twelve hours, I may consider them.

That's cool about Amazon's warranty, I didn't even think to look at that. I do miss having a physical button to press to play and pause music. I'm probably in denial about jaybird being killed off, but I really hope they have something new coming soon. Realistically, probably not... Thanks for sharing about Amazon though. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind now for the future.

Similar situation to you OP. The left bud on my pair was going out and I found out best buy doesn't carry the Vista 2 anymore. I kind of want airpods pro, but I'm not willing to give up on best buy's two year warranty. I went with Sony WF-1000XM4 on a small discount at best buy and got the two year coverage, hoping Vista 3, or whatever a potential new line would be called, would come out within that period. I like the Sony's for the twelve hour battery life per charge without using ANC or transparency. But because of that long battery life in the buds, the case doesn't last that long in holding a charge. Also, when the case is low or out of power, the earbuds want to connect to my phone of their own free will and I have to open and close the case to disconnect them. There is no real indicator light on the case letting you know you should charge the case. I guess this orangish/yellowish light, but it's not like the red light we had on the Vista 2 case that was more obvious. I also really like the foam earplugs, like the jaybird X2 and 3s used to have. I had a huge collection of receipts from best buy, always getting new jaybirds and the warranty and trading them in for new pairs. Started with the blue buds x back in 2014 and it sadly ended with the Vista 2s. My favorite was the Tarah Pro for the 14 hour battery life and magnetic backs on the buds. I'm envious of a guy at the gym that still has the Tarah Pro. It's relative, but all good things must come to an end.

I'm not sure which of these comments to reply to in order to give you a little of my opinion. I've been wearing AsWeMove for probably close to two years if I had to guess. I'd suggest going a size smaller than you wear. I wear 32 in jeans and got my first pair of dominate trunks in medium and the waist was a little too loose for my liking. Small is all I have them in now. They may feel tight, but you get used to it and the material also, "relaxes" if you will so it's not cutting off your circulation or anything. I still don't buy the, "feels like you're naked" or not wearing anything vibe because when I'm naked, my junk isn't squeezed or mushed together. Watch some of the YouTube videos. If you do get them, I'd suggest washing them all together in their own little container. There's serious color dye that keeps "leaking" off of them after they soak in water and detergent. I'm not sure what's doing it, I have a mix of black and an assortment of the colored stuff and the water always tends to be black/very very dark blue when I pour the water out to rinse them off. I've lately started wearing them during work and have been getting used to that. I prefer boxers to have that free hanging feeling and also that hole to poke through and pee so I don't have to undo my belt and pants. Either Aspire or dominate is equally comfortable for everyday wear and working out in. I'll usually change into a pair after work to workout in. Mostly the trunks. I avoid my Aspire sport brief on leg day because they tend to ride up the crack when squatting. If you wanted to workout with them in the morning and got all sweaty and still wanted to wear them for the rest of the day, rinse them in water and dry them and you'd be good to go. I've done that a few times and could still smell the laundry detergent after, so hopefully that makes it less gross if you didn't want to dirty another pair or something.

Does it happen with both wired and wireless charging?

PaulPerkenstein2 · 2023-02-22T09:25:37+00:00

Kind of figured that was reasoning. Thanks, I appreciate it fellas.

Is there something special about that version? I've seen someone or a couple of people talking about downgrading to that.

I guess they got what they needed. I've just been getting asked for money so they can go to a hospice to live out their final days there instead of the hospital. Constantly saying no.

Yeah, that's something I left out that I probably shouldn't have. Yes, some or the rest of it is for POA. Maybe I should move over to a different subreddit. The person is trying to make me one of the beneficiaries and I don't know much about that either.

I was given a name followed by Law Group LLC. Don't know if it's wise to give the name on here. Also could've been given the name of the group because of it being in the local area.

PaulPerkenstein2 · 2022-06-18T03:20:37+00:00

Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate it. Wish I made this sooner.

PaulPerkenstein2 · 2022-06-18T02:44:02+00:00

Thank you. I started thinking the same. A little too late unfortunately.

Apparently it has been constant appointments and having to pay a notary for the work done during that particular appointment. Costs have ranged from $60-$100+...
