GM's rationalization on removing Carplay is BS. I had a 2023 Chevy Tahoe for 11 months. It cost me $800+/year to get the same capabilities that I have with Apple Carplay which cost me about $900, once, for my iPhone 15 Pro Max in my new Ford Expedition. I do pay $12/month for Fords streaming...

I downloaded Sonoma ver 14.0 yesterday. so far it looks pretty good with the exception that when I sign in either from booting or when the computer is sleeping the 5 folders I have on the desktop are move around from where I have them placed. This is not a dire problem but an annoying action...

Well I upgraded from a 14 Pro Max to a 15 Pro Max. Tim Cook said the 15 Pro Max was 28 grams lighter than the 14 Pro Max. Personally I can't tell the difference. But then again 1 paper clip weighs 1 gram so if you pick up 28 paperclips that's the difference. :LOL::LOL::LOL: Other than that my...

I've always had problems on preorder day for the iPhone but never like this morning. 20 minutes is accurate. BUT I did get my order in and it will be delivered next Friday.

Touch ID now works. The problem was that when the instruction states double click the power button you have to make the clicks a lot fast than what I was doing. I found the solution from a Google search and someone had the same problem. So a word to the wise, when it says to double click the...

I just setup my new MAC Studio, M2 MAX. I'm trying to setup the Touch ID which is supported by the new keyboard. i go into systems setting and Touch ID when I hit add fingerprint the dialogue box comes up and I double click the Mac's power button as instructed but nothing happens. The Studio...

iOS for iPhone. I am not a real power user on my iPhone. I do use it for work plus it is our main phone at home. But before the IOS 16.3.1 update, like I stated, would last at least 5 days, maybe 4 days if I was using it heavier than normal. I contacted Apple support and they had me reload the...

Has anyone noticed a decrease in battery life with 16.3.1? Before this update I could go a week without charging but now maybe 36 to 48 hours then I need to charge. I shut off the "Clean Energy Charging" but that has not helped. All of the other settings are the same as they were before the update.

IPADOS 6.1 will be released Monday 10/24.

I’m using a screen protector that I used on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. The static island is partially covered but it does not affect the dynamic island functions any. Camera works fine. Face ID works fine.

Who is your cell provider? ATT had been having issues with cell to landline calls for months and it peaked this past week. I called them and after about 4 hours the problem was gone. The problem was that calls to landline phones were garbled. I thought the problem was just in my area ...

I'm using a screen protector that I used on my iPhone 13 Pro Max on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. The protector's cutout covers about 1/2 of the island BUT everything seems to work fine. I use Power Support antiglare screen protectors.

I just started using a fast charger for my iPhone 14 Pro Max. As I sit here at the computer I started wondering about something, what affect does fast charging an iPhone have on it's battery verses regular/slow charging? I know Li/ion batteries have a limited charge/recharge life, I think about...

The problem I have is getting confirmation messages from companies like FedEx and UPS always trigger the box. I receive messages from my credit card company and again it’s a bit annoying to me. It’s just like when I go to delete a message from my wife who is a person in “Find my” I keep getting...

Since IOS 16.0.1 every Message I receive then delete I receive a "Report Junk" dialogue box. This happens if the sender of the message I am deleting is not in my "Contacts" list. Is there a way to turn this off?
