I've dropped and broken my iPhone 6 THREE times when trying to use it without a case, and Apple Care + deductibles add up, so I will just have to be a savage.

Probably the most annoying remark I've heard about cases is "the best case for the iPhone is the one Jonny I've designed" gtfo

apple has never been ashamed to release robustly terrible designs on occasion
still, lol

Cases are still for savages.
Cases are NOT for savages. I got a really nice case that's a hard plastic shell lined w/ silicone for light-to-medium shock absorption, it's nowhere near as bulky as a stupid otterbox and I've dropped it like a bajillion times and it's never broken.

rly ridic tho that we've reached a point where it's impractical to hold and operate a mobile device w/o a case bcz it's simply too thin and slippery
― cory artangel (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 15:05 (eight years ago) link
tbh i'll drop anything smaller than a banana
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 15:07 (eight years ago) link
i've always used those clear silicone things - good enough
― Nhex, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 15:29 (eight years ago) link
I don't mind thin, I just need a tactical grip.

I see what you did there

i hate how when you open the alarm it defaults to the timer!
― Spottie, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
seems to default to the last used function for me?
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
maybe its just from the shortcut (slide up) which is the only way i get to my clock/timer
― Spottie, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 16:59 (eight years ago) link
i busted the camera lens on my 6s. genius was super burned out and feeling generous, so he wrote "phone constantly rebooting" and didn't note the physical damage. so instead of $400 (even with applecare) i paid $0.
we talked about how the bulge exposed the lens to more damage. he was like "lol they'll never fix that, they want your $$$."
anyway, i use a case now.
― 0 / 0 (lukas), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 19:09 (eight years ago) link
maybe $300 i forget
uh wtf with applecare+ it's supposed to be a maximum deductible of like $80 unless you use up your two repair credits
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 19:10 (eight years ago) link
I stand corrected, it's higher for 6s
AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee of $79 for iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, or $99 for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, plus applicable tax.

i got my display replaced under purchase protection on my credit card for a big (but cosmetic) scratch on my 6s
when i picked up they said 'sorry, this is a brand new phone, we broke the fingerprint reader while replacing the screen'
so i got a new phone?

When they bring out the apple car will you need a case for that too in case you bump into something? Maybe there will be third party car-cases that make the car look like a hot dog or something.

9.2?
― calstars, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 22:58 (eight years ago) link
Has spotlight search on iOS 9.2 ceased working for anyone else? Mine just doesn't work, I used it all the time to find and launch apps. Restart doesn't help. I haven't done a restore, because that's a PITA.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 12:07 (eight years ago) link
oh god that's like the only way I open stuff anymore, I am NOT going to update if it's going to fux w/ that
― cory artangel (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 22 December 2015 19:51 (eight years ago) link
I use S Light all the time and mine is working fine...I know there is a setting that controls what it looks for...
― calstars, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link
maybe try unchecking everything, restarting, then checking everything again
― calstars, Tuesday, 22 December 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
Had that happen too, try repairing permissions

works fine on 9.2 for me.

srs though I guess it was inevitable that iOS devices would get complex and flaky enough that we'd operate on rumor and superstition
― 0 / 0 (lukas), Wednesday, 23 December 2015 08:09 (eight years ago) link
it's been that way since people decided closing applications in the task switcher would make their phone run faster, when background tasks didn't exist
― μpright mammal (mh), Wednesday, 23 December 2015 18:23 (eight years ago) link
nah that made a difference because even if they didn't _run_ in background they could still eat ram while paused.

many xps but I whole-heartedly embraced a case, man, I have this Native American pattern case from some etsy shop and it is pretty corny but i dig it and I've dropped my phone a bunch of times with no damage
― marcos, Thursday, 24 December 2015 03:07 (eight years ago) link
btw the music app completely blows, so fucking tedious to use, idk why doing certain things requires so many more navigation steps than before
― marcos, Thursday, 24 December 2015 03:09 (eight years ago) link
xxp yeah, but it'd release them or swap them as you launched things, and there wasn't a guarantee that "closing" it would return the memory immediately
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 24 December 2015 03:29 (eight years ago) link
i def observed behavior where some app was crashy because it couldn't handle low memory conditions well and force quitting a few other things made it less so -- like even if often it was a pointless step it seemed like there was some legit validity behind it actually making a difference at other times.
― big WHOIS aka the nameserver (s.clover), Thursday, 24 December 2015 03:52 (eight years ago) link
yeah :/
― μpright mammal (mh), Thursday, 24 December 2015 03:54 (eight years ago) link
There was one iOS release (one of the 8.x ones?) that turned all iPhone 4s into tar sand and force quitting did appear to psychologically help
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 24 December 2015 10:53 (eight years ago) link
fell asleep with my laptop in my lap and woke up to a broken display. just had the display replaced a month ago (at the tail end of my AppleCare) for free
this is going to be expensive, isn't it
― the late great, Saturday, 26 December 2015 00:11 (eight years ago) link
i think you should just fall asleep again and maybe it was all a dream?

If you see a cheap i-pod touch on e-bay that is described as i-cloud locked does that make it unusable ? I even know what i-cloud is and would buy one of these if it meant music could be still loaded onto it.
― calzino, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 13:52 (eight years ago) link
I don't* even know
― calzino, Tuesday, 12 January 2016 13:53 (eight years ago) link
it means it's basically unusable because someone owned it and locked it to their account. it's a theft-prevention measure. so someone didn't check it before buying it, or it's stolen.
if you ask someone at apple very nicely you might be able to convince them to unlock it, but probably not
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 12 January 2016 14:53 (eight years ago) link
Thanks for that mh. I'm glad my bid failed because I don't want stolen or lost gear.
