You might feel that it’s not a big deal but considering that you don’t have the option to use fingerprint, you’ll have to use your passcode every time and it’s not a generally good practice to keep putting in your password in public. Further FaceID enables a you to do the things way faster like Apple Pay and also a lot of apps allow you to use FaceID as a way to lock the apps. You’ll miss out on a lot of the features.

Absolutely, it’s not like it could get any worse with use

This is why I buy ₹300-400 cases (4-6 USD). They serve 90% of the purpose of 60 USD cases and if I spend around ₹1000-1200 (12-14USD) then I get exact same quality as the 80-100 USD cases.

Idk why but these companies really do rip off Americans in the name of their beloved iPhone.

Are you talking about the pros? Because the normal ones are pretty similar in weight but the 15s are balanced a bit better although the slight curved rails give the feeling of it being less solid.

Not worth it imo, even Apple believes the difference isn’t worth more than 100$.

Other than the Dynamic Island you won’t find any difference in usability. The 12MP vs 48MP cameras matter only if you need it for work or other money making purposes because iPhones have been considered top notch cameras even before they even had 48MP in their lineup

I haven’t used family screen time restrictions but is it possible that the widget you’ve added is actually monitoring your son’s usage because the family member selected is your son.

Go into edit mode and tap the widget to see which family member it’s tracking on the widget.

I’m guessing it’s a 13PM because of the colour of the phone, the person seems to be using a case made for the 14PM though

It’s probably just finger grease and it reappears around the same spots because you hold your phone the same way.

Or you’ve managed to rub off some sort of coating that they do on the camera glass.

It could theoretically be an issue with the display or battery cable.

Weird thing is that you can’t use the whole frame but you can separate foreground from any frame.

Use the move to ios app to bring over everything including WhatsApp.

Yup that’s why i said “announced” instead of “give”

A normal 12 or even a 13 mini should work well for you if don’t need a big screen.

I guess even the longer support isn’t exactly the deciding factor considering that Samsung has been offering 4 full so updates and google just announced 7.

iOS vs Android is a fool’s debate imo, it’s about more about preferences than about absolute features, even when the features are same, their implementation and convenience can make a difference. Someone may prefer the same thing is done on android and the someone else will prefer the way it’s done on iOS.

Why must people need to feel superior based on their phone and its OS? Everybody uses what they like best depending on their budget and to start comparing them is useless.

They’ll probably spend some $$ on research and data analytics and forecast a cost benefit analysis of the possible scenarios (Pulling out of EU/Complying with EU Rules/ Offering Specific EU only features/ Any other) and whichever scenario expects the highest net benefit in terms of money is what they’ll do.

I’m just guessing because money is the reason corporations exist, so that’ll be their first priority.

Don’t buy Amazon Refurbished, as per the posts/comments on this very sub, they use sub par batteries that don’t last even a year. Best to go with Apple Refurbished, they use genuine parts and you’ll have Apple’s warranty so even if it’s a little expensive it’ll probably be worth it in the long run.

If you have to choose, you probably shouldn’t get either. Same as me because I am a student and I got an iPhone and even though I could have splurged for AirPods or AppleCare, I decide to save money and bought a protective case and tws earphones from OnePlus (they have good sound quality and battery life and okayish ANC, but more importantly they were 1/3 the price of AirPods and 1/4 the price of AirPods Pro). The only thing you’ll notice is that there’s no pop up animation when you open the earbuds case.

If she’s using androids she most probably likes the big screens. I’d recommend at least get the 13 (like everybody else said).

The SE caters to a niche market of people who absolutely have to have an iPhone and either don’t want to spend more or need the Touch ID. No happy android user is going to like an SE (at least the current one) because of its small IPS display and abysmal battery life. (Leaving aside the camera which is decent but nothing to be happy about). No matter how good the processor is, the phone feels extremely dated and looks like it’s already 7 years old out of the box.

For me it’s optimally 4 years Maybe 5 if the battery is fine (with 1 battery replacement around the 2.5 year mark).

But I’m also not a “power user” I just get the base one and I’m good for a few years. Even now I have the 13 base 128 GB and I’ve only used up around 50 GB (this includes 10GB iOS, 10 GB System data and 11 GB photos and that’s a full 2 year’s worth without enabling optimise photos). I’m guessing this is also why I don’t generally notice a lot of bugs.

I don’t do zoom photos but portrait shots look a lot better with it. I compared the 3x on my friend’s 14 pro with my 13 and it looks really different and way better. (Just talking about the angles and lens distortion and not detail or colour)
