They are getting crucified on social media as this just screams a way to placate people while still raising revenue.

 

“Hey, we bogged down your phone, unbeknownst to you, to help save battery life; but we’re willing to offer you this $40 battery replacement to make up for it!”

Good guy Apple.

 

Trying to setup my mother’s iPhone X and it won’t pick up a cell signal. I’m triggered

 

Have you tried buying a new battery

 

I see what you did there

 

I blew in the cartridge too

 

did you buy it off ebay?

 

Nope. Straight from apple

 

anyone use the Samsung gear 3?

 

You lost, pal?

 

Anyone that’s on the fence about buying an X over a 8...do it. Upgraded from a 7+ to a X over Christmas and I’m loving my X so far. Size works better for me (girly hands) and this thing is snappy. Doesn’t take long at all to get used to not having a home button.

 

Some info on the x... if you’re outside for more than 15 minutes in sub 32 degree weather your flash pictures will stop working. It’s weird, I know, but I was outside on Thursday trying to take pictures for work under some temp buildings and I could not get my x to take pictures with the flash. It was pissing me off that I couldn’t get any pictures with the flash considering the amount this damn phone costs. The flashlight worked, but I couldn’t get it to take a picture with flash. Some stupid ass software if you ask me.

 

Don’t be outside in the cold.

HTH.

 

If she has an existing iPhone just use the sim from that phone

 

It also doesn’t take kindly to extreme temperature changes. If it’s in my pocket at about 70 degrees and then I take it out in 18 degrees (like I did this weekend in NYC) the screen acts like it’s drunk and doesn’t push all the right buttons and it’s a bitch to text.

 

Worked

 

my buddy got one and it looks nice and handy but Idk how it actually is with an iPhone. I need something I can actually use in the hospital when I cant get to my phone at certain times

 

How about an Apple Watch?

 

May I introduce you
To the Apple Watch?

 

Hey guys, I need some advice here. I found this deal: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1293726-REG/apple_mlh32ll_a_15_4_macbook_pro_with.html

My wife had bought the attached image, but I feel like the link is a better computer for the price and I can still return the one she bought until the 5th.

 

Jeffrey Lebowski I feel like you would know the answer to this

 

That is a great deal on the 15" with touch bar. Personally, I am not a fan of the 12" MB unless someone is buying it for portability. It's a full laptop price, but has modified iPad internals. Not worth the $ imo.

Get that MBP with touch bar if you can.

 

Alright, I’m struggling to get my iPhone and iPad synced. Not all my contacts are showing up on my iPad even tho iCloud is enabled on both. Also can’t sync my messages so I can use iMessage.

 

anyone gone to get their iPhone battery replaced yet? how was the process if so?

 

I don't think the price drops until sometime towards the end of the month.

 

it was originally end of month, but they made it effective immediately. just have to schedule an appt with the genius bar or apple authorized location

 

Got a pair of AirPods for Christmas. I was initially kinda skeptical when they first came out but the freedom from being tethered to my phone is amazing. I can't imagine going back.

 

I’m steongly considering buying some today. Supposedly the store near me has them in stock.

 

Love the AirPods

 

The change to AirPods was much bigger of a leap for me than my change from 6s to X. Love them.

 

I use one airpod at work and listen to podcasts

 

Is there a dock you recommend if I'm trying to connect 2 monitors, a printer, and a wireless keyboard and mouse to the mbp?

 

I use this at work. 2 monitors, Ethernet, and usb.

I use displayport for one monitor and usb-C to DisplayPort for the second one

Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station with 60W Charging for MacBook Pro Late 2016/2017 & Specific Windows Laptops (Single 4K DisplayPort or HDMI Monitor, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 5 USB 3.0 Ports)

 

Thank you

 

What is the range of AirPods?

 

AirPods are intriguing especially if I end up with the watch, but I am not sure I want to spend that much money when I am sure I can get some other Bluetooth earbuds for much cheaper that will get the job done.

 

in contacts app, tap groups and make sure all your contacts are actually in iCloud as opposed to a gmail/exchange/etc. you can determine this by unchecking iCloud contacts and seeing how many you have left

if everything is in iCloud, and you can verify on iCloud.com, then just sign out of settings and sign back in

 

Air pod believer. Was given some for Christmas. Used them skiing and have loved them since.

 

Wish you could pause/start stuff by tapping the AirPod

 

You can.

 

Surprised at the AirPods reviews in here. I was completely underwhelmed by the product when it came out. Ive been using the bose qc35s at work. Maybe Id look like less of a munson with the AirPods.

 

do airpods fit like the regular apple earbuds?

 

QC35 are the truth for work and travel

 

they fit me a ton better than the earbuds, but ears are weird so you can't really know until you try them.

 

Yeah, you need to try them for yourself.

They fit my ears perfectly. But in-ear Beats and Jaybirds tend to pop right out for me.

I’ve had AirPods for about 4 months and use them at work a ton.

 

My only problem with the Airpods is the amount of background noise they pic up
