Running the betas on phone, watch, iPad and so far they have been great. Best Beta 1 experience in a long time.

Have you tried using your iPad as a second monitor yet?  That’s the feature I’m most looking forward to.

Not yet, the only machine I have that is capable of running Catalina is my work machine, and I'm waiting to make sure all my apps work with it first.

ios 13 beta isn't showing up for me.  Has the public beta been released?

Not till July.

 

I found a test pig for Catalina, installing it now, if my apps for work work, I'll upgrade my MBP to test sidecar later.

 

 


They are really doubling down on privacy and security.  This is going to piss off a lot of governments at all levels.    Impressed with the masked ID/email addresses and the amount of data scrubbing involved.

Bro, I don’t need the internet to laugh at me for only having a dick that isn’t quite 7 inches long.  I applaud Apple trying to keep my dick pics safe.

Most of us aren’t the target customer for the Mac Pro or the display. I know you’re savvy enough to know, especially compared to other reference monitors and physical setup without needing a stand.

no arguments on the monitor.  the monitor is impressive as hell, extremely impressive.

but are you really trying to defend a stand that costs $1000.  a stand.  regardless if companies need the stand or not.  apple decided to separately price a stand, for a $1000.  they are either trolling and knew this would get traction, or they are completely fucking stupid.  the stand is the new dongle form factor.

I see your point and yeah I agree. I think they blundered on framing the price of the monitor. It could have been hey it's $6,000 but $5,0000 without the stand. 

Yeah, they bumbled the pricing on it.  

Ironic, since they know a lot of their target audience is going to ignore the stand and mount them to their fancy multi-display VESA setups, and therefore the stand would draw a lot of scrutiny.

moving away from cell towers won't make it any more secure.  you're just replacing the cell provider with an isp.  the government has your isp covered too.

and the same apps who spied on your on iphone will spy on you with the ipod.

VPN, encryption

But the spying, yeah. I read an article on that recently and it’s staggering how much of that is embedded into apps. 

Those of you who got the XsMax, do y'all have any regrets? My 6s Plus is about to take a dump. I've changed the battery out a little over a year ago and it gets drained with a quickness. Shit freezes up and hesitates while playing games like word puzzles. So i guess i'm gonna have to finally get a new one. I saw where Best Buy has the 512mb phones for the same price as the 256mb ones at the moment. I don't think i'll fill up a 256 one. The two are the same, right? Just different size of memory?

and i obviously meant GB, not MB. Best Buy had $200 off the 512gb phone if you used your upgrade. So it was the same price as the 256gb. But ooooooh no, i couldn't figure out my damn 4 digit code that they needed to access my account at Best Buy. I finally gave up and just got the Xs Max 256gb phone. Everything seems easy to work so far.

My X has been running so spotty lately.  It randomly freezes up and lags. The gps triangulation will place me "all over the map" when I need the maps to work (and it happens with waze, google, apple).  I tried restoring and it didn't fix it.

 

I installed public beta 3 last night and so far so good.  I'm liking the overall look of things and it also is running smoother/faster than it did with 12.whatever I was on.  I was going to wait until we got closer to gold master build but I couldn't wait anymore.  Happy I did it as of now.  Wait for me to come back in a few weeks and bitch about something.

How is the dark mode?

It's different for sure.  I'm getting kind of used to it because I automatically turn on dark mode for any app that supports it: tapa, apollo, etc. 

insert your mom joke here

 

It just gives native apps a dark gui

dark mode is great of oled screens because black pixels do not require power.  the more black you have on your screen, the more beneficial to battery life.  ergo dark mode.

Ergo your mom.

 

I did have problems again the other day with gps triangulation. I reset my location services so let’s see if that does anything. Otherwise, must say I’m still liking ios13.

New iPhones to be announced at noon, seems pretty boring to be honest. Hoping they can do some camera magic to get them on par with the Pixel, we will see. 

But is it the most significant and advanced iPhone yet?

I hope they announce a new MacBook Pro that has the thermals redesigned.  The most recent design suuuucks with heat dissipation.  Just give me something that works like it should and doesn't throttle under heat.

No computer announcements today I don’t think.

The 4 and 5 hours more battery life seems pretty significant if true. 

I still have a 3GS sitting around somewhere. I wonder what some collector dork Would pay for it? $300?

 

 

Hahaha nevermind, just looked on eBay. Maybe $30. Cool.

I have one too. It still turns on!

upgraded from the x to 11 pro this morning about an hour after pre-orders opened.  delivery set for next friday.  this was the easiest pre-order experience i've had.

Same, X to 11 Pro, plus a Watch 5. Just did it thru Verizon. Getting the Midnight Green.

 

It shows I am not getting charged an access fee on the watch. I’m not sure if it’s a promotion or if they messed up. I looked into it and it seems like I get a $10 discount on the fee (net zero) because I have an unlimited plan. Not really sure.

Ordered this morning also, 11 Pro Max. Easiest iPhone preorder I have experienced. 

Yup. I also loved that it wasn't middle of the night.

Green Max for me.

Waiting to hear feedback from you guys. I still love my x excepting it’s sometime wonky triangulation/navigation. Ios13 beta has made it even better really. I don’t know that I can justify the expense again this year.


The watch though.....I’m still on s3. Looking for a good deal on a s4.

F you tapa

Almost got a 4 thru Walmart but they sold out while I was checking out. I don’t know if there will be big discounts with the three still out there setting the basement price.

How trade ins work?  I just checked on BBY and my 7+ gets me $190 credit.  Do I have to trade in before I get the new one?  

They let my wife mail hers in after she had the new one set up.

If trading with Apple, you'll get a return box in the mail a few days after you get the phone, then they credit the card you purchased with when it's received.

Looks like apple made a pretty big improvement with battery life and camera, excited to see how good they are.
