Turn the volume down

Yes. Putting it in rice should help.

The Plus is a great phone.

It’s just that a 13 Pro/Max is a better phone for the same-ish price (this definitely depends a lot on where you live)

Literally ALL phones do this. This is because the battery is close to a full charge and the ions in the battery are reaching capacity so if it continues charging at full speed damage can occur to the battery or even worse the battery could quite literally explode due to overheating.

Dynamic Island is resumed in “potential”.

It has the “potential” to become more useful, powerful.

But right now it’s just like the notch, you won’t care about it anymore after a few days.

Your just having issues with your phone. If anything camera quality improves over the years, not get worse. I have several iPhones I test and use on/off and all but the oldest of devices work quite well, including an 11 and while the battery is at 90% health it still runs plenty fast and cameras are as good as day 1. Cracking your phone out of anger could also potentially have consequences and the potential for internal damage in rare cases.

Also at 82% capacity you will need to replace the battery soon and if you’re almost full on storage that can have an impact on device performance.

My dad still uses this phone daily, I put a new battery in, works fine. He likes it mainly because of the headphone jack.

I know a guy named Jesus Christ, dm me and I can give you his phone number.

Indeed, a prepaid is what I had in mind.

I'll see what I can find in my city maybe a 7 at good price, thanks for the suggestions!

Blocking and reporting as spam does nothing when every new message is from a different sender. Trust me I follow all of the tips you mentioned. I don’t just put my number anywhere I even have a google voice set up for anything that isn’t friends or family . Even my doctors office gets routed to google voice. I truly hope you won’t ever see for yourself what I’m talking about. This problem is getting bigger by the day. It’s become a multi billion dollar industry. Scamming people.

Exactly the same way I used to use Google Assistant on Android, not at all. (I only recently switched to iPhone)

I just don’t really see the appeal of talking to my phone compared to just doing it quickly by hand. Maybe if I’m driving and don’t want to touch my phone, but in the car I put my phone on silent anyway.

From Apples site about it…

> your iPhone gets a forecast of the carbon emissions in your local energy grid and uses it to charge your iPhone during times of cleaner energy production.

However since it’s based on the gird, if you have solar on your home like I do, it seems like it would be less useful.

Yes I know about that. Which is part of why I posted this. The problem is getting really bad. I don’t share my phone number with anybody but friends and family. I even have a google voice number set up for situations where a company requires me to give a phone number. The messages are coming from addresses that look like an email address. It’s purposely very long title so you can’t see the full address. You could block each one or forward each spam message to SPAM (7726) on your phone but every time I get a message it’s from an entirely different source and blocking isn’t going to stop the problem.

14 pro

There are a bunch of differences between this and what Grid Studio did. Do you not see them?

Trying to manage my charging process :

If battery <30% : notification : charge the phone If battery >70% : notification : unplug the phone

A base iPhone 14 is 3,279 mAh. At 120V that's 393.48Wh. National average cost of electricity per kWh is $0.16, so charging an iPhone costs about $0.06. Apple doesn't publish exact sale figures, but we can assume sales at least matched the iPhone 13, take away 10 million because the iPhone 14 is newer, assume about 40% of that is US, and you get about 13 million iPhone 14s in the US.

&#x200B;

Theoretically, this saves ~$2,080,000 of energy in the US alone. Factor in other phones and other markets, it can easily save significantly more. Obviously, this is still a drop in the bucket compared to total energy use, but it isn't as insignificant as you might think.

&#x200B;

Edit: See replies, did the math wrong. It saves ~$26,00 per day.

Apple has specifically said that they created an Android version of iMessage but ultimately decided that it was better for their business to not release it. There already is a new standard called RCS and Google has been pushing Apple to adopt it as well. Tim Cook’s response was to encourage your friends and family to switch to an iPhone. iMessage has many of the features that RCS has but unfortunately they’re not cross compatible.

Wait, you’re casually browsing playlists *while driving?*Not to sound grumpy, but that really is barely any better than texting and driving.

There is already a free way to do it.

you’ll be missing the promotion and maybe higher brightness display outdoors instead, but that’s not a real factor. that promotion though is the big deal I recommend you get the 13 pro for at least

The fact that Apple won't just create a paid version of iMessage for Andriod is really interesting to me.

Either that or I wish we would adopt other messaging apps like other countries seem to do (example: We used Kakao Talk when I lived in Korea. Nobody ever used the regular texting app on their phones).

it's not an Apple or Google issue. Blame your carrier for weak spam filters on the SMS gate

Also you can be the one who's to blame too. Don't put your phone number to any websites/apps you register to. These are mostly the ones who sell your phone number to scammers like that. Or get a burner phone number to use it when a website asks for a phone number. I give my phone number only to doctors, official gov offices etc. and I've never got a single spam in my inbox 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same goes with email, use aliases which you can disable whenever they start to receive spam (like anonaddy or now even iCloud has that feature "hide my email")

I personally would only go for the pro if you want better photos. Taking almost any photo at 2 or 3x zoom makes them look so much nicer

120hz display only matters if you already own other 120hz displays

Dynamic Island is a feature, not a game changer

And a pretty good battery on the pros
