Timers, alarm, reminder. All of those are regularly not understand so I stopped bothering with more elaborate shit. Time to discontinue this nonsense.

I considered the 14 Pro Max but honestly, I was expecting to be blown away, and I had the exact opposite. I don’t think I’d treat it any different than a notch after regular use.

Went for the 14 Plus, I’m very, very happy with it, and there’s nothing I miss from the Pro that this device doesn’t have.

“Hey Siri, read me that message”

“Hey Siri, respond to <name> with <message>”

Or, more often, “hey siri, respond to <name> with voice message” and then record an audio message rather than dictate punctuation.

I use it quite a lot actually, timers and controlling lights at home, reading/replying to messages in the car, play music, change settings, ask questions (mostly maths). I live with my AirPods in when I’m out of the house, so it’s often quite convenient.

Create a shortcut on your home screen that turns off wifi and bluetooth.

"stalker beacon".. Stop being paranoid, Apple can't see your location and doesn't care. The same can't be said about Google and their Android OS.

Yea, you boomers don't get the point and now you're saying it's greedy commercial reason lol.

What shortcut would you suggest?

Every other phone if it’s not an iPhone then ofc it’s an Android.

To be honest I don’t care why they do it. (Probably for their AirTags but I don’t care to help Apple sell their stalker beacon.) I shouldn’t be forced to go through all this or use tricks like that. Literally the reason why jailbreaks came to existence is because of shenanigans like this by Apple which stubbornly prevent the users to comfortably use their phone for apples greedy commercial reasons.

I’ve got a pair of AirPods, a pair of Sony XM4 earbuds and the same XM4 but in headphones. I decided on the buds over AirPods Pro after some comparisons and am going to give the AirPods away to my brother.

I don’t have much to add to what everyone said here - I do like the AirPods, they’re comfortable, sound better than most of their type etc. One point that everyone mentions is instant connectivity but the Sony buds have this as well so it shouldn’t be a selling point for the AirPods. AirPods had instant connectivity when you first connect them and then they connect about as fast once that initial set up is done. I like them all for different reasons but the Sony buds are probably my favourite now.
