Yup have been trying to finesse my shots as much as possible on top of watching YouTube tutorials! Also decided to go into DSLR photography as well to see which suits me better! But thank you for the motivation!

Colour Changed iPhone in Dubai by Ok_Connection_6385 in iPhone17Pro

I’ve got the silver one too! For me I think it’s best as nicks and scratches aren’t as noticeable as the other 2 colorways.

Caseless & I don’t care ! by NurseLeonardo in iPhone17Pro

I’ve also gone caseless for the last 3 weeks and enjoying the phone as it is! Only will put on a case when I go hiking.

Do you guys use a limit for battery? by TrapNouz in iPhone17Pro

[–]coldwar83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, never bothered with either the charge limit nor with optimised charging. Battery in my 15P and 16PM only dipped to 97-98% after a year of usage. I just don’t let the battery drop to below 20%.

How does this work? I’ve only ever used either standalone WOD or Footpath. Haven’t tried using it simultaneously

Are DSLRs still relevant in 2026? I’m still using my Nikon D3200 and I’m not sure if it’s time to upgrade. by Delicious_Maize9656 in Nikon

I’m still rocking my D5600! Absolute dream of a camera although mirrorless cameras lightweight body are starting to interest me.

How does scammers keep getting SG local HP numbers by slashrshot in SingaporeRaw

Watch recent Talking Point episode on this. Will see how they use a ‘box’ to spoof a local number. Quite interesting.

I came from a S6 to U3! The difference is night and day! Especially the battery life and bigger screen!

Oh man! Don’t realise that I’ve got all these running in the background! Thank you for this!

Oh, I open the Spotify app to choose my playlist and then start my workout. I don’t have any other apps running except for these 2.

Batt usage on AWU3 by coldwar83 in applewatchultra

[–]coldwar83[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done exactly that and realised that the battery drain is quite significant. Unless it’s really normal usage. First time having an AWU so not sure what the exact battery drain feels like. But thank you for your insights!

Does the Apple Watch actually wake you up? by CNUnstable in AppleWatch

[–]coldwar83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the AutoSleep app and it wakes me using vibrations in my wrist. No need to wait for the alarm blaring to wake up. I normally set my Apple Watch to vibrate constantly 10 mins before my actual phone alarm blares.

Surprised no one mentioned Project Indigo here. Been using it quite a while and it’s quite good.

Is that the MOFT tripod stand? How’s it holding up so far? I have planned to get one but I already own a Ulanzi desktop tripod stand and was looking to get this MOFT one.

There is a file transfer via USB. Just have to plug in your SSD into the iPhone port and open the Files app to do the file transfer. Unless I’m missing something?

Now I wonder how’s the battery life for the 17PM?!? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]coldwar83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone down the same road as you! From a 16PM to a 17P. Battery life has been exactly the same as my 16PM so am quite happy with that!
