1. Camera - was snapping some doggy pics when I noticed they were coming up orange.
2. Out in the sun and display would not go full bright (100%). Manually changed it. It went back to around 75% and took a reboot to get my 100% back.

Wifi reception/signal strength seems improved, and no dropped calls over cellular thus far. Must be that new (regressed) modem firmware. ;)

Battery life and performance are solid. Display color balance seems tweaked—perhaps less saturated (not exactly, however, what I’d call “washed out”). Though maybe I’m just imagining it.

13 mini.

Yeah agree. Battery drain is tight. Dreading B2 when we go back to that 💩 modem.

Haven’t noticed the colour to be honest. But performance and responsiveness is on point.

Had a weird incident today. Went outside in the bright sun and jacked the brightness up so I could see the screen. It worked for a bit, then dimmed. I could not get any difference between half brightness and full setting. Went inside and same issue. Rebooted the phone and it is working again.

Anyone experience this before? First occurrence for me.

Yup happens all the time if the phone gets warm. Very normal outside under the heat of the sun. It’s protecting the screen. The phone doesn’t even have to feel that hot, I believe it’s a temp limitation on the display.

With enough time it would have returned back to normal without a reboot.

IPhone to iPhone?

Yes. But you have to have a payment processing app on the phone. It’s not true ad hoc payment.

Stripe is the only company currently supporting but others are coming “later this year”.

Basically replacing the Square terminal with the phone’s native NFC capability.

if apple is using it in their store currently, they probably have their own proprietary payment processing app (may even be the wallet app or some version of it), so we may be able to do phone to phone in the near future. i doubt they are using square in their stores. or am i understanding this wrong?

Think the point was the APIs exist, just apples internal stuff may never come out publicly. So we would need to rely on apps like square, etc (unless apple does decide to release something)
 
Apple doesn’t use it in their store currently…they have separate readers (and have for a very long time) that work with the phones they use.

I just bought a few things on Friday and the guy was bringing his phone up to mine so I could use Apple Pay, but it was really a separate reader module…maybe even used MagSafe so it stayed on the back of the phone? But since they also use scanner cases to read UPC symbols, it may have attached to that.

And how could they use it in their stores when some people are still on iOS 12? Hah.

They do use it in some stores, see this (
https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/uqj2kd
) to see how it currently works

On it using in their stores, it doesn’t need to be on any ios version, it is just accepting your phone or card the same as any portable reader, it can accept your debit or credit card if thats what you wanted.

They are testing…Apple Park only…their HQ. It’s Apple employees only using it that way most likely. There was an article on here about it as well.

Everywhere else uses standard separate NFC readers as I mentioned (that can also swipe cards if needed)

But to your point, I’m sure Apple will start using their own first pretty soon since they can control it.

Honestly, it should all just be NFC. Why even have the stripe/chip or anything that needs to be swiped/inserted?

I can answer my own question by saying that people (mostly here in the USA) will spread false fears around robbers having some super NFC machine that will be able to access your card when they are within a certain distance of you and stealing all your money without you knowing about it. ;)

Well, there is the legitimate argument that not everyone can afford a fancy NFC phone. Admittedly, the numbers are small, but there does need to be some provision for those people.
