120hz is nothing but a waste of battery.

It actually sucks. There’s a reason I didn’t upgrade this year. Get the 14 plus

Automatic and seamless switching between Apple devices probably. If you’re on your iPhone and start playing a video on your MacBook or iPad while the AirPods are in your ears, it will detect the AirPods see in and ask you if you want to switch the AirPods over the MacBook or you can set it to automatically do so.

I’ve never had any WIRELESS earbuds better than airpods. Wired I’d definitely have to say Apple Earpods with remote mic, but I’m short on cash so I currently use Turtle Beach Earforce Recon 70P

Reply to Have IPhone Batteries Gotten Worse? by leongpakchao1
I just swapped the battery of my 11 pro, battery degradation was 82% after more than 3 years. 6% in 1.5 years sounds better than normal to me.

Gotta say I’m happy with my AirPods 3 and I used a ton of other brands

Everybody is raving about the great connectivity of AirPods. I got the nothing ears, connecting them the first time took 1 minute, and now the are always connecting instantly when I take them out of their case. What is do much better about the AirPods? (Genuinely curious)

In terms of AirPods Pro 2nd Gen. Overpriced. Sound quality not impressive for price point.
Functionality on it’s own and with other apple devices? Satisfying and impressive.
Some examples:
With most modern apple devices, macbook or iphone etc if you are listening through external speakers on said device and then put the AirPods in your ear, it automatically switches to output to the AirPods.
Noise cancellation is really cool and great for silencing all white noise and mostly silencing louder sounds. I can still hear say, a tv at an acceptably loud volume, but its very muffled though still there. The feature does mostly work just not 100% noise cancellation. You can also switch to “transparency” mode to let external sounds in. Ive also been told they can work as de facto hearing aids, and will focus on someones voice and silence out other sounds and amplify their voice. (Haven’t tried that out)
All in all the features are great, just wish noise cancellation was 100%.
At the end of the day, for a product that is at its core an audio device, the sound quality is not worth $250.

Reply to If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging. With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind. by RonSwazy
Fully updated, I don’t even have this has a option. So it may only affect certain geographical areas.

The dynamic island is pretty meh. Thought it was a gimmick when it’s released, more so now that I have one. Still don’t understand why they went this route. It protrudes into your content even more. (Yes live activities are nice but notification does almost the same thing)
However I’d say you’ll miss the pro-motion screen and the cameras more than the dynamic island.

Not the best in the market. But perfect for your apple eco system. AirPods can easy switch from my Apple TV, to my Mac and to my iPhone. No Bluetooth searching.

If you are talking about the new pros they probably are the best for voice. They are damn good when it comes to noise cancelling too (to me better than the wf-xm4s). I own 6 pairs (4 galaxy buds, a pair of wf-xm4 and a pair of air pods pro) and its the only pair I recommend among these for calls. Not that they are just better than the rest, the rest are absolute shit for calls. The airpods Pro are not the most comfortable though, and excluding calls not even the best. That would be the gaxy buds +. There have been times that I simply forget that I wore them. The battery life is so good that you forget they are even wireless. They are good to the point that I have two pairs and am considering hoarding a couple of more, in case Samsung decides to halt production.

I’m partial to the Beats Flex. I have the AirPod pros but I’m always concerned that they may fall out. The noise canceling is an excellent feature. The flex with the neck band feels more secure and cost 25% of the AirPod price. And their sound quality is quite good

That’s why I had two products upgraded. Thank you peeps that helped me with my iPod touch and my iPhone 3GS. I am always patient when it comes to that stuff no point in yelling and getting mad. It doesn’t solve it faster

How do I erase and lock it? Thanks for the help btw. If I erase it does go back to factory default?

No. If you kick it out of iCloud it will only stop tracking and locking. Everything else stays. Might not update but will not erase your pics or messages out of it. Is better if you send a erase device, then after confirmation, delete from iCloud. But remember, if you delete from iCloud, anyone can take ownership of the device. Also, icloud has nothing to do with the store.. they might still use the store or even the wallet. If your device was stolen, you can lock it, erase it.. but do not take it out of iCloud…

I would get a 13 pro or pro max instead of the 14 plus it’s basically a Better phone
