    What are your 3 primary gripes about iOS 16?

    Some much needed changes in future releases: Dock customization to allow smaller / more icons. Dock pages, allowing to swipe left/right to show more icons to select. And in both dock pages as well as regular desktop view; having the ability to round robin so no need to endlessly swipe back...

    14 Pro (Max) Camera Lens

    Agree. It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. ;)

    14 Pro (Max) Camera Lens

    From a technical standpoint, smart phone camera lenses are already covered by protective glass. The glass covering that Apple uses is more resistant to scratches then the back/front glass but is certainly not impervious from all scratches! However, that is one place I do NOT install any kind...

    Cases for iPhone 14

    Yes I've used them the magsafe is very close to what a naked phone is however if you need it to be *strong* a case that has magnets is going to be what you want. Even though the thinnest, nearly skin like cases have little impact on the magsafe system, often what happens is the material being...

    Cases for iPhone 14

    I've been using this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFWBZB51?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUimUvbUpU3295546 Beware, it looks like the thin aramid ones (Pitaka, et al) but is NOT! It's super thin, like Peel thin! But it covers everything and it makes...

    ManeSIM creates a new carrier tax on users

    Even if it's never been used on the network, if it passes the network validation check, it will activate either with a VZW sim or esim setup. Apple devices always are no issue. Samsung devices, OTOH, have trouble frequently requiring support intervention. My Fold4 was a nightmare to get...

    ManeSIM creates a new carrier tax on users

    Agreed. The activation fee is a greed tax! At least when buying a car the price can be negotiated to counter other costs. ;)

    ManeSIM creates a new carrier tax on users

    I switch phones all the time and have never incurred any charge from switching devices, including esim. Only activation fees from buying phones from VZW or adding a line. Also, never have paid for a sim card when I needed it. They will overnight one. Now if you are dealing with a non...

    ManeSIM creates a new carrier tax on users

    That is not true. VZW will charge a $35 activation fee when you buy a phone from them, yes. If you want to change devices you can do that on their website or the myverizon app by providing the ESIM IMEI. Works instantly and there is no cost.

    I don’t understand Verizon. Very frustrating

    Yes and yes.

    The island and screen protectors.

    Your concerns are understood and valid. However you will have far better chance of FaceID not working correctly from finger prints, makeup, et al. The glass is plenty clear for the dot projector and the front facing camera to function identically as if no protector was present. If FaceID...

    The island and screen protectors.

    Never liked any protector that had a cut out. Hole cutouts are absolutely horrible. They will collect dust and look terrible in shorter order. And too, they create a weak point if impact occurs near the cutout.

    Post Your iPhone 14 Pix Here!

    Thanks! Yes I purposely framed it that way and lined things up to keep the flare down. Turned out nice.
