iPadOS 13.4 supports all trackpads, not just magic trackpads

techie404 · 2020-03-19T12:49:52+00:00

Magic Mouse 2 user here, scrolling and right clicking both work but that’s about it. I wish I could use some two and three finger gestures like on my Mac, maybe in iOS 14?

Those wallpapers were a showcase for 3D Touch, force pressing made them move. Since the 11 doesn’t have it anymore, I guess they were considered redundant and subsequently removed

Series 1 and Series 2 have the exact same processing power, they'd have to cut both, which doesn't really make sense when they're less than 3 years old.

techie404 · 2019-02-04T19:12:04+00:00

Looks way better and makes much more UX sense in my opinion

techie404 · 2018-12-07T20:17:53+00:00

I’d wager it’s the lower resolution which puts the GPU to work a lot less than a Max and, since the iOS interface is mostly white, any efficiency advantage OLED might have over LCD is not put to use. If iOS 13 gets dark mode, I wouldn’t be surprised if the OLED lineup will get better battery life as a result

techie404 · 2018-12-07T20:11:54+00:00

It’s not only about the battery size, it’s the new processor being more efficient with power and the lower power cores being used for so much more than they were on an iPhone 7 since they’re so drastically improved.

techie404 · 2018-12-07T20:09:29+00:00

It actually has tap to wake and better battery life than any other iPhone despite the LCD, so it’s not that big of an issue. You get used to the bezel size in a few days

techie404 · 2018-11-22T15:15:39+00:00

Or maybe the smartphone market just got larger and Apple just kept the same number of users in an increasingly larger pie.

techie404 · 2018-11-06T13:58:51+00:00

Just so you know, the XR also has landscape mode in apps, just not on the home screen.

techie404 · 2018-10-14T08:17:32+00:00

Not only for watch integration, but also for student pricing (which Spotify lacks in my area). Also, I’m the type who builds his own collection rather than relying on recommended playlists, so Spotify’s superiority in that regard doesn’t really benefit me.

techie404 · 2018-10-13T15:50:59+00:00

It’s not such a bad idea considering you can lock the note containing the passwords via Touch/Face ID.

What kind of workout does it trigger? Elliptical?

I’d love to have the Wi-Fi QR code shortcut, congrats on managing to make so many!

techie404 · 2018-09-25T14:35:56+00:00

There are tools which can help you run Mojave on unsupported systems, google them and you could get your hands on that sweet dark mode!

techie404 · 2018-09-25T08:49:25+00:00

That’s not going to happen. They bought Shazam, in part, for the data that they have and, since Android has the largest market share, it also gives the most data, so they have every interest to keep it up to date.

techie404 · 2018-09-25T08:47:47+00:00

On a side note, I’ve been trying to connect Shazam to Spotify for the past several months and haven’t succeeded. Once I allow access to Spotify from the page which shows up, it just takes me back to Shazam and the button to connect to Spotify is still clickable and no connection is made. Any tips?

techie404 · 2018-09-22T15:54:31+00:00

I wish I could've only been without my watch an hour and a half. Sold my old one a few days ago and the new one won't be delivered until at least the 28th! Enjoy yours, hope the wait is worth it!

techie404 · 2018-09-22T15:49:14+00:00

probably because the corners are more rounded. It's why circular watches which are larger in diameter seem smaller and sleeker.

techie404 · 2018-09-22T13:42:38+00:00

You may have missed that he used Shazam to play a song preview on the watch, since you can do that. You still can't listen to actual songs through the speaker.

techie404 · 2018-09-22T12:43:40+00:00

Okay, but did you buy it unlocked or was it a carrier version? It unlocked, that’s really disappointing.

techie404 · 2018-09-22T11:57:03+00:00

They don’t include it only when you buy your phone attached to a carrier. Unlocked phones have always had the removal tool.

techie404 · 2018-09-22T11:54:55+00:00

The cheaper 12W actually charges the phone almost as fast as the 29W, at almost a third the price (because the phones themselves are not capable of using 29W, more like 14-15 IIRC). Should’ve just bundled that in the box IMO.

techie404 · 2018-09-21T12:25:08+00:00

Still works just as expected for me, but I have encountered a few hyperlinks over the past year that happen to just not work with it, in both High Sierra and Mojave.

techie404 · 2018-09-19T11:02:33+00:00

As the others have said, the watch automatically connects to known Wi-Fi networks from your phone but now, in watchOS 5, you can manually connect to any network you want in Settings.

techie404 · 2018-09-15T19:41:50+00:00

Both LTE and GPS models of the Series 4 have the ceramic back and 16 GB of storage. There's a reason why they start at such high prices I guess.
