I was just in Montana for a week and got to play around with my friends (catching up completely on Game of Thrones) and really dug that everything is right there and accessible. Hmm.. looks like that'll be my next purchase, along with a new glass screen for my 6s.

 

Apple TV is the best, definitely worth it

 

That’s hard to believe, I have to charge them infrequently but more than that. I use them a ton, though.

 

Wonder if he's talking full charge from the case they come in. That's a little easier to wrap my head around.

I have headphones in all day at work so I'll be charging these a few times a week, easy.

 

Do you have a lot of movies/shows purchased on iTunes? Do you want to stream material on your iPhone's browser and have it play on your TV? Would you like your hear music on your iTunes be played from your TV?

If you answer "yes" to those then I would say it's worth it.

 

With all of my movies and shows on iCloud, I don't think i've even used more than 3GB of my 32GB. The only apps I have are the typical streaming services, weather, and fitness.

 

Apple TV is great - I have a PS4, but the streaming options are pretty limited on it since they want you to buy PS Vue. So I strictly use that for gaming and do all my TV watching / streaming on the Apple TV.

The interface on the Apple TV is probably the easiest to use - found Fire TV to be WAAYYY to cluttered and of course they just pushed Amazon content on you non-stop.

 

That's what I was afraid of with the Fire TV. Was considering it being the cheaper option, but as invested as I am in the Apple ecosystem spending that little bit extra seems to be worth it.

 

Starting to have problems with my iPod classic. I rarely update it with music and leave it in the car, but songs are starting to get random artwork from other songs from on the iPod that don't go with it at all. Does this mean the hard drive on it is failing?

 

If there is one complaint I have about the Apple TV it is the remote design. Can't tell you how many times I've picked it up and it is the wrong side up. Minor annoyance, but its annoying.

 

Apple Adds PayPal as Payment Option for iTunes, App Store, and Apple Music

 

I wouldn't say it's your hard drive failing because this issue has happened to people with new devices. There are multiple ways that people have fixed it so I'll just tag this link and you can decide on which method you'll use.

My apple account has been linked to PayPal for years. I'm confused.

 

The new payment option brings PayPal's One Touch service to Apple accounts for the first time, meaning users can purchase from all Apple devices including Apple TV and Apple Watch, since they don't have to sign in every time they want to make a transaction. PayPal said the system provides a "secure and versatile payment method to meet the growing demand for digital entertainment."

 

iOS 11 Public Beta 2 is available as of yesterday afternoon. Nothing huge, mostly bug fixes and increased stability.

I still have some tiny errors with my iPad but nothing too crazy.

 

So far so good with the iPhone SE - small keyboard is a little tough to get used to at first. However, everything is really snappy on it.

Tmobile has so far been a shitshow of frustration. Service is great - but the people in the store have zero clue what they are doing. I think they change up the promos so often that they just get confused - so a bunch of stuff got messed up on our account setup. Thankfully their customer service department over the phone is VERY helpful and nice. They (hopefully) fixed all of the stuff the store messed up.

 

So what kind of weight should we be putting into the iPhone 8 having issues rumors?

 

None.

 

H..how?

 

Haha, I guess I just don't use them as much as I thought. The case they come in is just too awesome.

 

Is there any way to calibrate AirPods?

Like, I live in the 80% - 100% volume range with these when listening to anything on Apple Music. Anything below 50% might as well just be 0% because it's basically inaudible. Currently have the EQ off and listening to an album that really thumps as reference. On the other end of the spectrum, listening to a podcast on Audible at 50% is louder than max volume Apple Music. So idk if it's just me, or what the deal is. Maybe they aren't fitting in my ear properly? I do feel like they sound more robust if I stuff them into my ear a little more, but you could say the same for any earbud. They definitely feel plenty secure when in my ear though. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch either.

I really like these in my desk job workspace setting. At the office, having top drawer sound output isn't much of a factor. I spend portions of the day with only 1 earbud in to remain accessible to my peers, and with collared bluetooth headphones they can start to slip and sag off my neck. Especially if I'm wearing a t-shirt rather than a polo. Also, I love how clearly I can hear others around me when they are in-ear and the volume is turned off, negating the need to remove them when somebody is talking to me. And then obviously all the other great benefits of staying a part of the Apple ecosystem with my other Apple devices.

But I'm not sure I can justify $160 earbuds if I need to switch to a more powerful set to listen to music at an appropriate level. I totally get that these aren't intended for the high end, but I feel like something is wrong when spoken word sounds fuller and more complete than my music. I'm conflicted.

 

I’m beginning to think that 6s and above should have been the benchmark for iOS 11. It is so bad on my 6 but it’s nearly flawless on my iPad mini 2.

 

I did until about a month or so ago when they meade me connect a card instead.

 

Or there's the likely scenario where it runs fine on your phone once it's no longer in beta form.

 

True, thanks for the snark lol
