Switch Bluetooth off and on

I did...multiple times.

They have not fixed the battery life bug in 14.2. So it should get better as soon as that fix comes. We just got 14.3 to test so I am not sure if they have a fix for that in there or not.

What I found out is my messages app was drawing power 30 minutes of every hour yesterday! I restarted and it stopped! Seeing much better battery!

 

[aesc80]

No, I just used the wrong terminology.. I think I meant the.... wait for... it........ the DONGLE(?)

(I really don't know the names of these things)

😂 let me see if I can help

(iPhone)[Lightning Plug head]<charge cable>[USB-C head](Charge plug/brick)

so I used brick, plug and head. You may reply when you’ve stopped giggling. 😜🤪

And yet another false alarm

Ok just kidding! Lol

In all my excitement yesterday, I forgot to post that it came! Haha.

It arrived around 2:30p. Got started unboxing and it went right in the case. I made transition to eSIM earlier this year, and wow does Apple make this easy. During setup, it sees the wireless plan on the existing phone and asks if you want to transfer it now or later. Select it and click next and you’re off and running. About a minute into the restore you can see the cellular plan transfer from old to new.

A few observations - it feels just stunning in the hand. The squared off edges and polished stainless steel make it feel more like a fine piece of jewelry or an award than a phone. Also, the cameras seem massive compared to the 11 Pro Max. Significantly larger than previous gen. Pic below is transferring before passing the 11 Pro Max to the wifey!

I’m really excited and grateful to have tracked with y’all. Until next year! Enjoy your new toys all!

Love that artsy flower case! Nice. Is that a silver phone?

“No nend to change screen” how are typos not spotted lol

The product is like that too!😞

 

[Renho]

Do you mean Apple silicone? This is the black on Graphite! Kinda boring tho. I’m not cool like the rest of you. Lol

I like the soft silicon cases because it’ll show the color off more.

Can you post a picture? I ordered mine but got a bit delayed and can’t wait ti see how it will look in the phone. 😆

Ok, I can breath again.

So wait, what is a dongle? I'd google it but that's probably not wise.

My daughter convinced me to try PopSockets. I love them on big iphones. Used them on my XS Max and now on the Pro Max. Makes the big phone so much easier to handle plus I like how you can prop it up in landscape mode to watch a video

MagSafe-Compatible iPhone Accessories Coming From PopSocket

Apple's new iPhone 12 models are equipped with a ring of magnets in the back that allows them to work with a range of new accessories, including...

Remember they had those lightning to headphone Jack dongles?! That’s a dongle

So a dongle is just a general term for an attachment. Usually something that’s direct like a wifi dongle or a tv stick (Amazon Fire Stick). 😄

^ this!!! It was limp and tiny.

My case won’t be delivered until Monday.

 

[CarolG]

Looking at this, your battery was made 10-12-2020, if you look at the top, your phone was made on 11-2-2020.

10/12 was my birthday! Lol!

TIL so much in the MacRumors forum. 🤓✏️🗒 Thank you!

There won't be a quiz, will there?

Happy belated birthday! 🎂🎊🎉

I feel sorry for someone who would just show up in the thread.
They would have no idea about the meaning of terms like:
#920Crew
Dongle
And of course That's what she said

I feel like I am missing some. If you haven’t been with us you truly have missed out on some fun. Oh and iPhones😊😊

 

[Unapologetic_fangirl]

Well this was my iPhone 12 Pro movement. Arrival at airport at 11:57 AM on 10/18 am and departed 10/20. So likely for the Pro Max we likely won't see movement. Noticed that I also requested a UPS CC pick up around that time?

I have the same “package is in transit” for my pro max. Did you end up getting your phone when expected or was it delayed?

 

[CarolG]

I keep everyone of mine, running out of room to store them 🤣🤣, my family just shakes there head at me

I do too! I actually threw away a few last week 😱.

 

[alinefx]

Nice makeshift MagSafe dock you have there!

Thanks! Yes, by itself its an unsightly little thing. Waiting for the Belkin 3in1 to release.

I see someone caught me on a cold day! I’m honored by the acknowledgment but certainly caught on my weakest of days! 🤣😂 (and I’m not into dudes, so there’s that! 🤣🤣🤣)

 

[CarolG]

I did the same lol. But, this morning, I see two very tiny dust particles, and I know that with my OCD, they’re going to drive me crazy. Too late to lift the protector up to remove them I think. 😩

I couldn’t stand the dust either , so I just got a new different one! On sale at Case-Mate. 1/2 price. The one that failed (I failed) was Totallee.
