It’s normal that your battery health drops

Apple, break the laws of physics!

Even the newest watches have 18 hour battery life, so of course one that is almost a decade old would be the same or worse. It’s actually amazing that it still lasts a whole day after all this time.

Nothing is impossible in football but in all likelihood, this will never happen. If Madrid was just sitting on 14 titles for a while, it would be a different story, but they keep extending that record periodically.

LOL… Nothing is, well, nothing. A nascent company with next to zero customers (relatively speaking). Apple doesn’t care about them and the decision to add RCS was definitely not related to this.

Rattles and squeaks suck but I’ve come to accept that they’re just part of car ownership at this point. It’s nearly impossible to have a completely rattle free car, from my experience. I’ve ridden in a month old S Class a few weeks ago and even that had a jarring rattle. Just turn up the radio and move on.

I’d like sideloading, but ultimately I’m against a bunch of old government geezers telling Apple (or any other tech company) how to run their business.

If you don’t care about the telephoto and 120hz the Plus is a great iPhone. For your longevity question, it’s not really clear yet if the non-pros will get less software support, but the worst case scenario is it will get 1 year less than the Pro, that’s it.

My advice is to keep the Pro Max if you don’t mind the price. It’s just better and nicer. It’s really not that heavy (especially when compared to 12/13/14 Pro Max).

7k sounds very high for this, maybe take it elsewhere?

I honestly heavily doubt Apple are still working on Siri at all. They’ve just accepted it will be garbage, at least for now

Same reason phones don’t have headphone jacks anymore. Or why laptops don’t have DVD drives and floppy disk drives. Or use FireWire. Physical SIM cards are obsolete and the easiest way to completely erase them from our lives is yanking the cord out in one go.

SIM cards are basically a way to “login” to your carrier. that still being a physical item is kind of crazy in 2024. Even eSIM, while being a huge step up, can be further improved. IMO this process should simply be a login and password like everything else.
