    Videos dark, but pictures are OK?

    So I've been trying to use my iPhone X to record a couple of things for a bit now and I keep coming across the same issue. If I'm taking a picture at night in some fairly low-lit areas, I can tap the screen and it'll brighten up and the image will be much better. If I'm doing a video...

    iOS 11 b1 and Maps on CarPlay

    Just thought I'd give anyone considering and or who recently installed the iOS 11 beta 1 a heads up on issues with Maps on Apple CarPlay. The general functions of CarPlay work overall OK, but when you try to use Maps, it will randomly and unexpectedly crash and go back to the main CarPlay home...

    Did I buy a MacBook Pro or a Windows "Ultrabook"

    I upgraded my first-generation 12" MacBook a few days ago to a new 13" MacBook Pro w/ the touch bar. It's definitely a big upgrade for me and I love the laptop except for one thing....the battery life stinks. As I sit here and type, I've done nothing more than some general and light web browsing...

    Naked or covered?

    Wondering how many people are going to tough it out and let the new black colors of the iPhone 7/7+ shine through. I personally want to because I think the Matte is really pretty, but I've opted for a clear silicone case for now. I usually get over it within weeks and start going caseless...

    Get a 7 or 7 Plus today (or tomorrow)

    So I've had my 7 Plus on order with T-Mobile for a bit now but there was no movement and then they hit me with a "expected ship date change" which took the timeframe from early Oct to late Oct. I decided to just forget all that and hunt one down through Apple. At first, I was using the regular...

    Tap to download or Cannot send

    So I've been having this issue as of recently where trying to send a picture or image of any sort will be a hassle. It seems to be a hit or miss but what happens is that if someone sends me an image it tends to show "tap to download" but when you do, it doesn't download anything. Then when I...

    How to become an iMore/Admin/Ambassador/etc?

    Just wondering what the process entails and what is necessary to become one. I've been a mod in the past at other sites, but every site seems to do it differently. Some seem to just do a "never been a mod? Here!" or "we like you, here you go" and others have a due process you have to go through...

    Space Gray lighter than Rose Gold?

    So my lady had the Rose Gold (Sprint - 16GB) and I have the Space Gray (T-Mobile - 64GB). While we were at dinner the other night I went to get a good look at her phone and noticed it was fairly hefty. I then put both phones (caseless) in my hands and definitely felt the weight differences. My...

    1 day in - Has the novelty worn off?

    It will come up sooner or later, so here we are. Is anyone "over it" yet? I'm slowly getting there (while being slightly jealous of my GF's Rose Gold 6s) but that's only because I came from an iPhone 6. So the look I'm used to, I haven't had a REAL chance to use the camera, no Band 12 yet on...

    Let's play the waiting game...

    It's 10PM here in Jersey and I am counting down the hours to go pick-up my iPhone at my local UPS sorting facility tomorrow at 8AM. Anyone else also anxiously waiting? My GF will also be picking hers up tomorrow morning, she has a reservation at our local Apple Store for 10AM. So we're both here...

    Your experience with your carrier...

    So it looks like Apple is doing very well at keeping up with demand. By this time on previous releases, shipping dates would have slipped well into October, but a lot of models still show as 9/25. This also seems to apply with carriers, with Verizon still showing 9/25 for most, as well as my own...

    Goodbye Apple Watch - Why I Sold It...

    ....and why I may be regretting it. So about 6 weeks ago I finally managed to get my hands on an Apple Watch. It was the first day of in-store availability and since it was in-stock locally, I canceled my online order and reserved a spot to pick one up. The whole process was seamless, albeit a...

    The "New" MacBook - My Review

    So here we are ladies and gentlemen. Who would've thought many years ago that computers would get THIS small. We were all blown away by the original MacBook Air and thought it couldn't get any thinner, but it did. Now, I know that many companies have been making super-slim Windows laptops for a...

    Apple Watch - My Review

    I know a lot of people on this forum and around the web are still on the fringe about getting an Apple Watch. There are a lot of reviews out there about the watch, and I'm adding one into the pool but with a bit more of a personal touch. Here we go: I originally purchased the watch from Apple...

    Apple Watch at the beach - My experience

    Yesterday I ended up going with my dog and some friends to the beach. I disconnected my watch with 100% charge at 11AM and went on my way. I arrived at the beach around 12:30PM and then played with my dog for a bit and eventually jumped into the ocean. I swam around for a bit, jumped over some...

    Taking iPhone in for cracked screen but...

    My iPhone fell (from about 2 feet off the ground) and must have fallen on the holy grail of spots because it cracked. I knew it cracked the second it hit because it made THAT noise. In any case, I have an appt with Apple for Saturday to get it fixed. Thankfully screen repairs no longer cost an...

    Have a T-Mobile question? Ask an RSM!

    Hello everyone! Some of you may remember me when I had a similar thread over on the Verizon sub-forum, back when I was a Verizon RSM. Well, fast forward a year and a half, and I am now an RSM @ T-Mobile! Actually, I've been here since January 2014, but I kept forgetting to start a new one of...

    Your opinion on Rite Aid and CVS removing NFC payments

    Just wondering how everyone feels about this move by both retailers and their push for the rather unimpressive "CurrentC" payment system. The general consensus seems to be that it's a rather negative move on their part, and many people seem to be choosing to move their business to Walgreens. I...

    How is T-Mobile? (NYC Area)

    I am planning to jump ship from Verizon in the coming days, and it looks like T-Mobile may be my most economic bet. I have also toyed with the idea of getting one of those new Shared plans that AT&T recently introduced for non-contract customers, but their pricing is a bit higher than T-Mobile...
