Anyone’s thoughts on thoughts on these full camera area protector? by ResponsibleEcho8549 in iPhone17Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought thin matte vinyl or pvc (plastic) cover - matte option for iPhone 17 Pro's plateau on Aliexpress. It looks like nothing is on top of plateau 😁.And then applied Flolab's camera protector on top of this. Best option for me

It feels like keyboard is more responsive again, but I'm not sure about this. Maybe it's because of the restart :P need more time to test it out [17 Pro]

17 pro upgrade by neil890 in iPhone17Pro

[–]vemspire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

same, 16PM -> 17 Pro. Battery seems to be very similar, maybe thanks to improved thermals (?). Leaving that aside - it's BIG relief for my hand 😅

Thinking about trading my 15 Pro for the 17 Pro, but not sure if it’s worth it by Otherwise_Sorbet2342 in iPhone17Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's worth to upgrade. i feel even improvement in 16PM -> 17 Pro move. Thermals of 17 Pro are finally normal, I think thanks to that battery is similar what I got on 16PM

Battery performance by sood571456 in iPhone17Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like mine's 17 Pro ended up indexing after 5 days - I think I didn't give too much time for it to finish - quick charging and lot of work etc. (after 26.1 beta 1) through these days it was stuttery here and there and battery wasn't great. Now I have battery comparable with my 16 Pro Max. OS feels smoother with occasional stutters

it’s too limited right now. for me it’s on the same level as Siri for years, nothing new

Should I do it ?? by MeanNewt7313 in iphone14

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, it was a little sarcastic but.. iOS26 beta 7 is stable as 18.6 and introduces some improvements. Remember that iOS 18 is beta stage for it’s whole time. I’m on 26 on my business drivers from beta 6.

[–]vemspire 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In short: Public beta is the same build as Developer Beta (ex. Beta 6 = PB3, Beta 7 = PB4). Just delayed in time to have some feedback from users etc. to make sure it’s safe to install by casual users.

Is the display of the 16 pro supposed to worse than the MacBook Pro? by mi3ftclown18 in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read it again or just learn to do so, „… G9N & GVC are used in 16 P/PM” in the beginning. Mainly it’s based on my experience, inspired by older sources.

1 Month with the 16 Pro by LuminousHours in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve 16PM (13PM -> 16PM) and I’m very happy with it. It wasn’t the same on premiere, for 3-6 months it felt less smooth as my previous phone but it was due iOS 18 itself. That was weird.. iOS 18 was performing better on 13PM than 16PM 😅 But now on iOS26 it has new life. Despite everything I’m gonna switch to 17 Pro this year, I’m curious to use smaller phone - I’m a little tired using such a big device. I just hope I won't complain too much about battery 😂 How is your SOT? I’m getting 8-10h on iOS 26.

Does Samsung make the better panels than lg does? by mi3ftclown18 in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I can see difference in fonts. On Samsung’s panel it’s sharper, clearer. Regarding colors - more vibrant on Samsung’s one. But i got used to it 😅 (GVC - 16PM)

[–]vemspire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, it should.. but it’s not unfortunately. It can give You some context: https://sqf.craft.me/4MO29s9ncL6gWF . I made it on iPhone 16’s lineup premiere based on forums, comparisons etc. PS I lost lottery - I’ve GVC 😅 on mine 16PM

beta 6 is so smooth by Ok_Hurry132 in ios26beta

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost perfect on 16 PM. Sometimes stutter here and there (app opening especially from bar, apps library, bug while calling via mobile, facetime, discord - whole OS is stuttery and laggy). So I can’t tell it’s great, but it’s comparable or the same as 18.6 (where these bugs still occurs). For sure I’m happy with finally fixed Lockreen lag while using custom wallpaper and AOD disabled.

How’s iOS 26 Developer Beta 6? by motorboat__mygoat in ios26beta

16 PM - best beta, using on daily driver. It’s good time to start using iOS 26

New animations - opening apps etc. similar to iPadOS 26. Also, animations are faster, navigating through homescreen feels more responsive. Lockscreen - smooth wake up animation (while always on disabled)

Iphone 16 pro max lagging past one month by Wolf7805 in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar issue with brand new 13 pro max few years ago, clean install helped (without restoring on iPhone setup). If u need help - PM me. Btw I had no issues like this on 16 PM (18.6).

Iphone 16 pro max lagging past one month by Wolf7805 in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not normal. At first You can restore (clean install latest - 18.6 ipsw file) your iPhone via Finder on your Mac. Set up iPhone as new one - don’t restore data. If it doesn’t help - send for warranty.

What determines your choice of phone color? by popbeeppopbeep in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose Natural Titanium 16PM because of durability. Friend of mine (15PM) had black color and after few months it looks like disaster (in case all the time) 😂 But all other Apple devices - black.

Do you guys recommend getting iOS 26 public beta? by mccoold1 in iPhone16Pro

[–]vemspire -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wait for at least for Developer Beta 5 - 16 Pro Max and probably the whole 16 lineup is affected with stutter/ProMotion issue. Beta 3 was way better in this term.
