I usually only listen to my iPhone in the car, and then I have the volume on the phone at 100%, and use the volume control on my dashboard to control things… so yeah, this alert annoys me too…

On Apple’s keyboard, you can type symbols, etc. very quickly because the modifier keys work just like a real keyboard. For example, when on the letters keyboard, hold the 123 key with your left thumb, then tap any character with your right thumb. You can even swipe from the 123 key to any character. These gestures also work with other modifier keys, including shift and ABC.

Plus, you can double-tap shift to enable caps lock, hold space to enable trackpad mode, double-tap space for a period, and hold many characters for secondary characters.

Is terms or audio quality. It’s not terrible for how light weight they are, the anc isn’t too bad either, they are very comfortable but at least for my ears they constantly fall out, the case is probably also the best out of all other wireless buds, thing is like a bullet, but the main thing that AirPods pods have is the connectivity, which at times makes me choose my AirPods over my Bose qc ii earbuds, AirPods literally connect instantly, the moment you put them in they start playing music which was awesome,

About 3 months ago my right airpod(2ndgen) just decided to not work correctly and sounded like it was playing out the back and they were only about 6 months old, the warranty for whatever reason was a bit messed up so i had to get that sorted and once i did they were taken to my nearest apple store and apparently both AirPods "failed" whatever test they do to them and they just replaced both. I didn't notice anything wrong with the left but hey brand new ones and I haven't had any issues since

Photos aren't my priority as well. Also, I just bought this phone so there's no way I'm changing it. I didn't buy it for photography. I mainly bought it for the longevity that Apple offers . So, barring the long range photos, close up or normal photos are still dope so it works for me when I actually want some photos.

Just buy a different phone if photography is your priority - get a Pixel or a Samsung - or hope Apple sorts their HDR algorithm. Watch some camera comparison videos in case you consider a switch. But I guess that is an expensive solution 😅

I am sticking with this phone as i don't take many photos and just use my wife's Samsung when taking family photos.

With the 14 I have only esims. For travel I use an app called Airalo which provides travel esims. You buy it at home install and get off the plane like you’ve never been offline. There’re other options/apps as well though. Never going back to plastics. I admit sometimes it can be more convenient.

If any company can just dump the oil to the ocean, why there’s so many green energy sources, more than ever? The industry sector consumes around 1/3 of overall energy, where did the rest go? If people demand more green energy and consume it whenever there’s enough supply (or more, e.g. In a windy day) of it in the grid system, then we can solve the problem of expensive power banks.

The SD card can be seen as a missed feature (although I never replaced my SD cards in android phones.

The iPhone supports a second simcard through E-sim, which most modern phone companies support.

I never had problems with the hotspot, although maybe that is because my other devices are Apple as well.

New developments is a bit of a mute point. In the last 5 years nothing notworthy came out on either side. Innovation in phones seems dead.

Androids with tougher build qualities? I have to disagree on that I suppose. iPhones are build like tanks, their latest advertisement even use it as the main selling point

It is an Apple product, so I think it has all these benefits. I cannot argue about this one because I never had one. But it might be an option. Seeing the MKBHD review about Power Beats Pro it seems to have all these AirPods features including the convenience that I mentioned before… worth to check…
