Reply to Android features you miss? by throwawaypenguinnn

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but a properclip board. I have one shot at copy paste something and then it's gone. Android phones let you see the last few things and re-paste or even lock certain messages to use at discretion. This is great for work, where a lot of my responses are similar and I can respond quickly

Reply to Folks, I am first time iPhone user. I am just loving the experience so far(14 pro max). I bought the leather cover as well. So wanted you opinions if AppleCare is worth it, it’s quite expensive to be honest by Onion_rings_

You have 60 days to decide on Applecare and will find a daily countdown timer in your settings menu- Considering if you leave your phone behind, or are a active outdoorsman, or are in a high crime area where theft is a good possibility, or you carry naked, or you drop it even once in a while, then yes absolutely. Back glass is a little over $500 to replace.. The great part is, if you use Applecare in a store, 99.9% of the time they will just hand you a new device if it's not fixable or lost/stolen. There's no investigation,or crazy paperwork. I've had that insurance through that weird company the android makers use, starts with a A or something . That's awful. This is nothing like that. This is Apple directly. Not a third party. For me, peace of mind these days is worth it's weight in gold. I have enough to worry about besides the $1200 in my pocket everywhere I go....

My favourite thing about this topic coming up is seeing people have the word “caseless” autocorrect to “careless”. Quite a nice Freudian slip there :P

Not exactly a feature but I miss the sleep as Android app. One time payment of a couple bucks, and the devs are still active on forums and adding functionality to this day. Nothing I've found compares without a monthly subscription fee.

Reply to iPhone hacked, by a malicious hacker, not a jailbreak by here4TrueFacts

As far as we know, this is not possibly. This is some day zero hack if it were true. Meaning they’ve found a flaw in iOS security. This would be so huge that Apple will likely pay a good bounty for it.

Now with that said, are you a millionaire? How much can they get from you if they drained all of your accounts and max your credit? If the answer is less than $100k, then it likely isn’t what you think it is.

No hacker would spend the amount of resources to break iOS security and then hack a nobody with so less money. As soon as he uses that hack, it’s out there for Apple to patch. It won’t be worth it to use such a valuable hack on a few hundred dollars, or even a few thousand dollars. A hack like what you described would make news within hours.

Jailbreakers spend months to years to develop a single hack for iOS. Are you “big” enough for them to waste a hack on you? Likely not.

You were likely compromised somewhere else. Probably your computer or through a data leak with your email and password.

I went naked years ago after Apple was having problems with the iPhone 4. If you remember correctly the back glass could shatter if you had grit between the case and the phone. Apple even sent me a replacement case which later they admitting would still cause the problem.

Ever since I have gone caseless. I don't drop my phone, so that's not an issue. My screen isn't scratched because I don't leave anything in the pocket I keep it except the phone.

Your iPhone is not an investment as some claim, it's a piece of hardware that Apple wants you to replace every two years. Maybe thats why my iPhone SE 2020 battery is failing. You can replace the battery and allow it to be used a few more years, but then they don't support older phones with the current OS. So like it or not, eventually IOS will no longer work on your "investment" and you'll be upgrading just so you can use current apps. I'm sure the old phone looking clean, sparkly and useless will be a great investment to store in the chingas.

I’ve been caseless since iPhone 7

And since then I haven’t dropped my iPhone


My pet theory nowadays is that cases make the phones harder to hold, more slippery or more clumsy

And/or they provide a false sense of security

Yeah my phone is fairly scratched up, but some of my friends have phones with absolutely destroyed screens and their cases are fairy dinged up

What’s the point in protecting your phone from scratches and scrapes only retire it from use in mint condition?

That said
 iPhone 7plus jet black to iPhone 12 mini to iPhone 13 mini

So all in all a range of either easy to hold or small and easy to hold phones iPhone7 jet black was the best finish iPhone has ever had
