    Anyone switched from a big phone (around 5") to SE? How it feels?

    I had the iPhone 6s+ for a year and I found it to be both too large and too small. It was too large to comfortably carry on a hike or in my pocket when riding my motorcycle (etc.). At the same time it was too small for watching videos or for reading e-books or even surfing the web. So I got...

    No more love for the SE?

    My SE also runs excellently on 11.2. I have no reason to upgrade to an SE 2 in 2018. However, I would like Apple to release one next year so that it’s there for me at discount prices in 2019. :D

    Finally gave in to the Airpods - definitely a mixed bag

    The iOS 11 ability to set a second function is handy. Now when listening to podcasts or audiobooks I can double-tap one of them to go back 15 or 20 seconds if I missed something as well as having pause/play on the other. Switching devices hasn’t improved at all—I still have to do so manually...

    How is everyone finding IOS 11

    All in all I feel that iOS 11 is just fine. I do like it better than iOS 10. It’s not my favorite OS of all time (that would be Windows Phone 8.1) but I’m good with it. :)

    Geico app on iOS 11

    That’s weird. I tried the Geico app again a few minutes ago with my iPhone SE and iPad mini 4 and they both work fine, no delays, all my info and services available.

    Digital Clock Bugs Me After Updating To iOS 11

    You might also check Settings>General>Language & Region to make sure it didn’t somehow get changed.

    Battery Life after iOS 11 Upgrade?

    I’m not noticing any difference with iOS 11 on my iPhone SE or iPad mini 4. For example, here's the iPad’s time to drop the battery down to 62%. Seems okay to me. (Usage 5:15 hrs, Standby 8:34 hrs, for those who can’t view the attachment.)

    I just tried my Geico app on my iPhone SE, iOS 11. The information came up with no problems.

    Iphone SE and IOS 11

    100% A-OK on my SE as well. No glitches so far and I don’t notice any battery life change. But it’s a fact of life that no matter what the OS update some devices will have issues, for whatever reason. I’ll just count myself fortunate.

    Your Top 5 iPad Apps

    1. Safari 2. Messages 3. Photos 4. Snapseed 5. Kindle My iPad mini 4’s #2 , #3 and #4 are in the top five lately because of a new camera—RAW shots imported into Photos via SD card reader, edited with Snapseed, and shared over Messages or uploaded somewhere via Safari. ;)

    Iphone SE and IOS 11

    I’ll reserve judgment, but so far I haven’t noticed any slowdowns on my SE. Safari scrolling is definitely faster and smoother now that they changed it so that it scrolls like every other app on the iPhone. See: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dRPGdhwAXck

    Official Release: iOS 11

    Re: iOS 11 Is out! iPhone SE updated successfully. Both it and the iPad mini 4 are running very smoothly, no problems. It seems like the touch ID on both of them works faster. But I might be imagining it. :)

    What do you like the most about iOS11

    Well, I just got it like 20 minutes ago for my iPad mini 4 and I never did beta. I have got to say the thing I like the most so far is the new keyboard! Worth the upgrade all by itself. As I explore I might find something else I like better. ;) Edit: too bad my iPhone SE still has the same...

    Official Release: iOS 11

    Re: iOS 11 Is out! My iPad mini 4 is installing it now. I figured I'd have my iPad be the guinea pig before I try my iPhone SE.

    What about the SE

    The SE will only be two years old next spring, so I'm not really worried at this point. Although I won't object to any upgrade, I'm good for one or two years with what I have. At this point I would much rather see a pro-level upgrade to my iPad mini 4. Yeah, I know, dream on. :p

    ?Can iPad Cellular use my phone SIM

    That's exactly what I did, though it was with my cellular iPad's SIM, not the one from my iPhone. I have no doubt that the iPhone SIM would work, too. Swapping the SIM back and forth is a lot more trouble than using an iOS hotspot, but at least the option works! I'm camping in my motor home in a...
