I'm on iOS 14.3 and I don't feel that there's any noticeable difference in terms of battery lifespan.

looking nice.

be careful not to insert parking tickets into them though. I did last week and it messed up - had to go to the counter to get an exchange!

to answer your question:-



source: https://www.apple.com/my/batteries/why-lithium-ion/

whether you are on fast charge or slow charge, just charge whenever you want and don't worry about leaving it on charge when you are sleeping. the iOS software would probably kill your iPhone faster than the declining battery lifespan would.

is your condominium's lift card scanner RFID based?

that's odd.

+1

same here.

if you are coming from a iPhone 11 then the iPhone Mini will not cut it for you unless you have your reasons why you require a smaller form factor. the Pro Max is definitely heavier and bulkier and that is the reason why i went for the Pro instead of the Max (even the Pro is a bit cumbersome for me but i can live with it). with the Pro Max, one hand operation will be a rare occurrence.

by the way, the battery life isn't way better, you'll hardly noticed the difference unless you must be on your phone every 10mins or so.

the best way to gauge is to head over to an Apple reseller store near you and get a feel of the actual units and see how comfortable they are in your hands.

you should really consider the Pro.

perhaps to avoid disappointed customers due to the limited stocks they have. i guess they are apportioning daily sales so that everyone will be able to purchase a phone if they drop in.

you'll get your better display at 120Hz (ProMotion) and as for the rest, not going to happen (at least on the iPhone 13). Aluminium frame is a step back for Apple for the Pro models so that's a no-no.

i'll be very excited if one day Apple announces a under-display finger print sensor.

yeah, their "one-in-a-million" proposition but i guess people (or at least I) would prefer a smaller display notch and that can be achieved if FaceID is replaced with an under-display TouchID.

that's your one in a million chance right there

i'm leaning towards the fact that she secretly recorded her face in the phone. heck, my FaceID sometimes also reject my own face

haha. Apple requires all of their users to look extremely pissed off prior to using it

if indeed she did not recorded her facial recognition data and her BF's iPhone can be unlocked "at a certain angle" using her face then maybe you'd want to advise her to check with her parents on her lineage. both her and her BF may be related to each other, who knows

that is given i guess since facial features are highly dependent on genetic constructs and genetic algorithm ensures that only the "good parts" are retained and inherited.

both my cousin sister and her mother bears an uncanny resemblance to each other.

i just only realized that there are cases with such a combination, TPU on the sides and tempered glass on its back.

Tempered Glass Phone Casing @ aliexpress

already ordered one to see what the actual unit is like. looks promising though

your Spigen case looks clean! have always been looking for a transparent TPU case but they always either turn yellow or the sides become loose

how much did you bought your Spigen case for?

haha, true BUT i'm not ready yet to hide the looks of the iPhone yet

that bend on the magsafe charger. doesn't look convincing on the long run though

i'm fine if it's just another USB cable but the part that bends is the one connected to the puck which means if it gets deformed, i will need to buy a brand new charger. cannot accept because don't have to many internal organs to pawn.

thanks for the link. will consider buying it after i received the "trial" ones from aliexpress.

aren't these the "sought after" patina
