    Anyone else getting their phone ahead of the estimated time period? I ordered my phone at the same time period as my GF (we have different providers). Her phone arrived today and mine is still scheduled to arrive Nov 17-24th.

    Also, any case companies you swear by?

    Work supplied me with an 11 a month ago and yesterday I’m in the field and it randomly loses service and tells me there’s no SIM installed.

    Updated last night and it’s fine now but that shit was really weird.

    Idk if it’s my network or if it’s Safari, but the internet seems to get stuck loading while surfing the net. Have to go to Twitter and refresh my timeline then Safari will finish loading.

    Glad to hear someone else having this issue. It happens much more on my iPad but I’ve had it happen on my phone some as well. I’ll be browsing without any issues, click something like watched threads to go to a new page, and it’ll just say the server stopped responding. Very annoying

    The MacBook Pro announcement on Monday will be intriguing, I hope the rod of a return to a MagSafe charger is what I think it means, I am sick of the stuck-in charger endangering my shit when I or my dog trip on the wire.

    I just realized that my keyboard is automatically capitalizing See when I type. And the only thing I can think of is it’s built in to the IPhone keyboard bc of the Apple TV+ show :laugh:

    I have something similar, performs the same functionality. Being new to Mac as a full desktop solution I was a complete newb. Best thing I did was went on Best Buy, told them what I wanted and I had some geek call me. He knew his shit, was trying to get me lower priced stuff to save me a few bucks and everything. I told him I wasn't concerned with the price, I just want the shit to work.

    Anyhow, 10/10 would use that service again.

    They’re basically an update to the AirPods. They have spatial audio but no noise canceling or transparency mode.

    My only use case is photo processing, so nothing as strenuous as these 8K videos people are trying to work with, but I’m amazed every time I work on photos. For the first time in 10+ years I’m not waiting on the system. I hope Adobe doesn’t see that as an invitation to add more bloat to the software, but it’s really nice on my mini.

    Is the 2021 Apple TV decent? Anyone have a better alternative? I have two fire sticks and they are extremely laggy even after factory resets. My original fire box was not, at least until it fried itself. Both of the 4K sticks I have are 2 out of 5 stars at best.

    Fire sticks are such trash.

    Love my Apple TV

    Google Chromecast with Google TV is a nice alternative though. More like a regular streaming device with a remote and a UI.

    My fire 4K stick works great. Not laggy. They make a Max now with wifi6 capability.

    I won’t pay $180 for Streaming box and I don’t want a component. Want it hidden behind tv

    Try roku if fire stick isn’t working

    I was down to replacing my Fire TV Cube vs getting the new Apple TV. I got the Fire TV Cube. It's already having huge issues like flickering screens and drops. It also doesn't work on any 5ghz wifi channel except 32.

    Maybe I just got unlucky, but maybe I didn't.

    I just found a way to lose my AirPod pros and they’re not something that I can live without.

    Just now seeing that they’re releasing some 3rd gen airpods this week. Are those better than the pros?

    AirPod pros this morning decided that the buttons will no longer pause/play a podcast. The button still works to turn on/off noise cancelling, so that’s not the issue. I reset them and forgot device and reconnected them and still nothing. Anyone else have this issue?
