Yes. Global company creates marketing campaign to call out other global company in which they clearly present ALL of the facts and don't gloss over any of the problems or faults of their own. Good job Google. Mission accomplished.

Quantity isn't more important that quality and homekit covers largely everything people actually want. That's like saying the Nintendo e-shop is the best because it has so many games while ignoring that most of them are complete dogshit.

Google will probably abandon home like they have with so many other products and Amazon already wishes they didn't have Alexa because it hasn't netted them anywhere close to the return they hoped for as it relates to purchases from their website.

It's pretty obvious that nuance and context aren't very important to you so there's not much point in continuing beyond this point.

I really don’t know where the ‘indexing’ thing comes from. You realize it’s 2023 and this smartphones are powered with a good cpu? Why would it even take weeks to index something? Phone should be good straight out of the box. That index thing makes me think of Samsung fan boys that are always saying ‘the phone is perfect just now, imagine in 1/2 weeks when the phone learns your usage’ after 1/2 weeks the phone still has the same performance and battery and they think it’s better due to placebo effect.

I get about 6 hours of screen on time with my 13 mini. It will be a year old next month.

It’s not even about believing, its the truth. Google started a whole campaign calling out apple for not helping to create a standard or utilize rcs.

It’s nowhere near google and Amazon. So yeah, in comparison, it pales.

Long pressing the screenshot gives me a screen to copy or call or whatever. I can also easily just select and copy the phone number text. This is too funny.

The Windows app itself is updated as well, it now shows a greyed out iPhone button and "Coming Soon"

You believing it doesn't make it true. Even if there's some truth to it (there is) it is possible for both things to be true. That being apple wants to convert android users, which honestly if this feature alone converts you then you deserve to have your money taken, as well as them not wanting to pass messages through Google owned servers for privacy reasons.

The fact you think no devices support homekit is complete nonsense. There are a shit ton of options that support it. The biggest gap in coverage are cameras and even there are a handful of options. Matter/thread benefits everyone. Apple included.

No. Same probably unless Apple gave them special treatment.

Yes!

I’ve come from an S21 myself but I went ahead with the 13PM. But I’d say the regular 13 should do much better than the 13 mini for you.

Method

You can always take a screenshot of the number and then crop it so you can copy it using the photo kethod

While yeah, I want encryption. There’s still no reason apple can’t include rcs. SMS already doesn’t have encryption. So what does it matter. Jsut apple being apple.

Take it to apple. Their support can either help or replace it if it’s defective.

Yeah this is a good workaround. It’s surprising the how well it works. Usually even if you snap a pic of a crappy looking sign with a weird font it will work.

Google has RCS encryption, but it only works for the Google Messages app. That's not their fault; it has to be that way since it's not part of the RCS standard

FaceTime is already on Windows.

The iPhone SE 2022 has much better battery life than the 12 Mini and that’s saying something. Also, the 12 Mini battery life is barely any better than the 2020 iPhone SE.

The entire iPhone 12 lineup has awful battery.

Basically…in terms of battery life for these iPhones.

iPhone 13 Mini >> iPhone SE 2022 >>> iPhone 12 Mini > iPhone SE 2020

If you really want a modern small iPhone, get the iPhone 13 Mini. Avoid the iPhone 12 Mini at all costs. There’s a reason why Apple discontinued it too.

Otherwise get the iPhone SE 2022. It’s a fine iPhone with the updated hardware internals. The rear camera itself takes better photos than the iPhone 11 series and the 2020 SE.

Also the Touch ID sensor is even more improved on the 2022 SE over the 2020 SE and the iPhone 8.

It also has 5G support and you can turn it off if you want better battery life.

Another benefit of getting the 2022 iPhone SE is that all screen protectors and cases for the iPhone 7, 8 and 2020 SE will work fine. They all have the same dimensions too.

I personally do not recommend the iPhone 12 Mini. Garbage iPhone. I had it issued to me at work and immediately replaced it with the next year 13 Mini which was far superior in battery life. It literally lasted 2.5x longer than the 12 Mini.

That would work, but for it to work across different devices/and or carriers, they would all need to work together to implement it in a mutually intelligible way. If it wasn't part of the RCS standard, then it would basically be different device makers and/or carriers having side agreements with each other. So they use their own encryption scheme on either end with RCS in the middle. With situations like that it becomes too easy for the side agreements to not be the same everywhere amongst all parties, which ends up being confusing for consumers and possibly broken. It would lead to things like, oh these features work between these carriers, but not these, or if you message your cousin in Germany, you have to remember to use a different setting than when you message your friend in California, etc. It would be better if end-to-end encryption was part of the RCS standard, which I guess means we already need an RCS 2.0

I just used it today, and it seems that it just copies what you type on the computer, and commands it on the iPhone. It sends as iMessage to compatible people, and you receive them on the computer. You can also call from it which I haven’t done yet, and you can clear notification, which I have done

Yeah I was actually excited about that app and they went and chopped off its legs

I 100% believe apple is purposefully avoiding working with google on fixing the issue. They don’t want it better for android people. They just want them to switch to apple. Which I get. But still doesn’t change that apple is not willing to fix this.

Matter is a standard that benefits apple cause barely anything suppers HomeKit.

It ultimately comes down to one thing.

What do you factor more? The battery life or the form factor?

If you like the compact size, go for the iPhone 13 Mini.

If you value the battery life, go for the iPhone 13 (6.1 inch).

Also all iPhones from the iPhone X and onwards support up to 18-22 watt fast charging. So you can charge your phone really quick if you’re running low on battery. Keep that in mind.
