How to stop camera going to live photo

Hi all,
the subject field is the question.
Every time my wife wishes to take a photo the camera goes to live photo. She 
does want all photos saved as .JPG. I have set the settings that I thought the 
camera would always save in this format, but no such luck.
Can anybody tell me what settings to change for this to happen?
Thanks for any help.

RE: Poll: What is your favorite iPhone of all time? 9 to 5 Mac

Poll:  What is your favorite iPhone of all time?
 
Even though some people say that iPhones look the same year after year, I beg 
to differ. Now, yes, if you go from an iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 14 Pro, there 
is going to be very little change in the design and form factor.
But what about when we went from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4? Or if you are 
someone that waits years to upgrade, and you go from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 
14 Pro? Those upgrades or differences become much more drastic.

Depending on when you got your first iPhone, your choices may differ. I am 
lucky enough to have owned pretty much every iPhone since the very first iPhone 
back in 2007. Little did I know that 16 years later, I would be using the same 
brand.

The iPhone has gone through several design evolutions over these 16 years. I 
began to ask myself which iPhone was my favorite iPhone of all time: Was it the 
OG version, the iPhone 4/5 series, or one of the newer ones? What was your 
favorite iPhone?
iPhone design over the years

I do not want to get too detailed, trying to review everything single design 
change Apple has made with its iPhone lineup, but I do want to highlight some 
of the big changes they made as the iPhone lineup matured.

Original iPhone
This phone has many names: the iPhone 2G, the iPhone 1, or just the OG iPhone. 
But this is the one that started it all. The iPhone was released in June of 
2007 with its two-tone look. It was a nice silver aluminum with the bottom 
fourth made of this black rubber-feeling material. It was small, had rounded 
edges, had that famous physical mute switch, and had the headphone jack that 
caused so many issues with third-party headphones because of how far the 
headphone input went into the phone.
 
iPhone 3G & 3GS
After the OG iPhone, Apple really changed the look of the iPhone 3G. It was 
called the 3G because the original iPhone only had EDGE data connectivity, and 
iPhone 3G was the first to give us better 3G data support. But the design did 
change. It was now made of this reflective black plastic (or white, if you 
remember that one). It had more of a bubbly feel to it, and I remember it used 
to rock on the table a lot because the back was not flat. I personally liked 
the white one better, but this was the first real design change Apple gave us.
 
iPhone 4/4s/5/5s
This was peak iPhone design time. Apple got rid of the cheap-feeling plastic 
casing from the iPhone 3G lineup and went to glass and metal for their entire 
iPhone. This is the phone that made you feel like you were using a piece of 
jewelry. We got front and back glass for the iPhone with a metal frame to hold 
it all together.
A few things to note are that the iPhone 5 was the first iPhone to give us a 
larger display and the first to get the lightning connector. We also had 
antennagate during this time, where users would complain about a dropped signal 
when covering the antenna band with their hands. We also got a selfie camera in 
these iPhones, and touchID came to the iPhone 5 lineup. Apple also gave us the 
iPhone 5C lineup during this time, which was a forgetful offering.

iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 Plus
This period of iPhones covers a wide range of iPhones. This was the time we had 
bendgate because the iPhones were just so thin. We also had the first-ever 
camera bump and our first dual camera setup with the iPhone 7 Plus. Lastly, we 
also got our first plus-sized model iPhone. These phones were ultrathin, 
especially when you compare them to today's iPhones. Apple was in a state where 
thinness was considered a premium feature - so the thinner, the better. These 
phones got rid of the back glass and went all aluminum for the casing. In my 
opinion, these were nice, but it was a very safe design that peaked with the 
matte black iPhone 7 Plus
 
iPhone X to the iPhone 11 Pro Max
During this period, Apple went back and innovated again. This was the magical 
introduction of Face ID and the iPhone X. Gone was touchID and the forehead and 
chin bezels. This was the first iPhone that was truly bezel-less with its 
all-glass casing. Gone was the headphone jack; AirPods really began to take 
over during this time.
We also got the iPhone 11 lineup this time around, which included our first 
triple camera array on the 11 Pro Max. I remember thinking that this camera 
bump was insanely big when I first got it. The iPhone 11 lineup was also the 
first time Apple separated its iPhone offerings into Pro and non-Pro models.
The gold 11 Pro Max was one of my favorite iPhones ever.

RE: Instructions on how to set up Apple Card high-yield savings account

[Alan Lemly]

Well, that sucks and I wish I could convince Apple to make the Apple Card 
available everywhere. I will, in the future, make sure if I post anything about 
the Apple Card to include a disclaimer line that it does not apply to non-USA 
subscribers.

Another year has gone by without Apple expanding Apple Card availability 
outside the US

Tom Sykes

POSTED ON 01/01/2023

 

Another 12 months have gone by without Apple expanding Apple Card availability 
outside the US, over three years after the service first launched in August 
2019. Apple Card, created in partnership with investment banking company 
Goldman Sachs, allows users to track spending and help manage bills within the 
Wallet app on iOS – completely fee-free, and with lower interest rates compared 
to traditional banks.

Users can make purchases using their Apple Card with Apple Pay on their iPhone, 
iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, or with the optional titanium Apple Card banking 
card, which features no printed card number or security code, making it the 
world’s most secure credit card.

Since its launch, Apple has kept Apple Card exclusive to customers in the US, 
although at one point there were rumors that an international expansion was on 
the table after 

Apple acquired Credit Kudos, a UK open banking startup earlier this year, 
suggesting the service could arrive in the UK, as well as the iPhone maker 
receiving trademark approval for the name Apple Card in Canada in 2021, 
although nothing ever came of the two developments.

The credit card industry works differently in the US than the rest of the 
world. The fees companies charge to merchants whenever they take a card payment 
are relatively low elsewhere compared to the US, making it hard for Apple to 
offer the same Apple Card perks that it does in the US, such as Daily Cash 
back. With there being no expansion to the availability of Apple Card over the 
past three years, it seems like at least for now, Apple is happy with having 
the service limited to users in the United States. There is no word from Apple 
on if an international expansion is planned, but many users are hoping that the 
New Year sees the iPhone maker expand the availability of the service beyond 
Apple’s home country.

Poll: What is your favorite iPhone of all time? 9 to 5 Mac

We have made it to the current generation of iPhones. Apple went back to the
iPhone 4/5 design by giving us flat sides, a more industrial look, a glass
back, and much more. They introduced 5G with these phones and gave us
MagSafe for charging, and each year these camera bumps got bigger and
bigger. From a design standpoint, I actually love these models of iPhone. It
brings the best of the old design

Tom,Excellent, I think I've just set one up! just to be clear for other people, it seems that if you choose media your options for videos comes up, I didn't do this, I was thinking that might mean social media and I just didn't want to get tangled up. instead, having chosen to set up a shortcut, I put in the search box the word video and I got the option of "take a video" and I accepted it and it works!Thank you so much, now I shall be quick to catch those magic moments…Thanks again, Sandy NZ Sent from The dark side of the moonOn 21 Apr 2023, at 13:24, Thom Spittle  wrote:Hey sandy, I am jumping into this thread to see if I can help.

Re: what are good calendar apps

['Mervin Keck III' via VIPhone]

I use the native Calendar app as well, Richard. On both my iPhone and iPad Pro 
as well as my MacBook Pro. I like the way that all three devices sync up 
immediately. In fact I also have a watch and that syncs up along with my other 
three devices. Nicki, my wife, and I have a shared Calendar in addition to my 
other calendars and her four devices and my four devices all sync up 
simultaneously when one of us enters something into the shared Calendar. Which 
we do often. 
I generally have something going daily on the Calendar as well as eight or ten 
reminders going in a variety of shared categories. I have both Calendar and 
Reminders as complications on my Apple Watch.
I would have a difficult time spending $56 on a third party app when VoiceOver 
works so well with the Native apps Calendar and Reminders.

RE: what are good calendar apps

[Dennis Long]

My problem with Fantastical besides its $56 a year price is it seems poorly 
designed for voice over.  It says month picker item.  Wonderful after that how 
do I find the months?  Could you maybe do a demo as a audio file and walk 
people through how to use it?  It is possible I’m doing something wrong.

I use an app called Fantastical. The developer has made it very accessible with 
VoiceOver and it handles events quite well. Also, it includes any reminders you 
create and integrates them into the calendar. Apple treats calendar events and 
reminders as two different things even if reminders have due dates on them. You 
do have to pay a subscription to use Fantastical but I've found it to be worth 
that cost. Apple's own calendar isn't terrible either but I've come to 
appreciate how good Fantastical is at understanding even really complex events 
just by you typing in a sentence like you were explaining the event to someone. 
I think it still does a better job at that than Siri does.

Re: initiating a video recording?

['Sandy Tomkins' via VIPhone]

Sieghard, thanks for all your efforts on this, I'm still failing though… I can find in case of emergency and I can get a sort of set up shortcut that will indicate to all my friends and family and carers and what not that I need help, although that's not what I want, so I said that Home but no where can I find reference to starting off a video, I shall do some googling too…Thanks again, Sandy and ZSent from The dark side of the moonOn 20 Apr 2023, at 17:48, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:







I probably set this up at some point in the past and called it "Emergency Video" instead of "In case of emergency" which seems to be what it is called in shortcuts.
, here is a bit about how to find it and below this I am including the link to the full article:
 
Featured snippet from the web
How to set up the In Case of Emergency shortcut on an iPhone
Tap your Shortcuts app to open it.
A menu of your existing shortcuts will appear. ...
Swipe through the top banner until you see "Shortcuts for Accessibility," then tap on it. ...
Select "In Case of Emergency." ...
On the intro page, scroll down and tap "Add Shortcut."
 
Keep in mind that this shortcut will also text a person of your choice, but I assume this is something you can possibly remove or simply put in your own phone number or a landline which can't receive text messages if you don't want this.
 Hwere is the full article, if you do a Google search for "In case of emergency iOS shortcut" you find a lot of articles about it and I believe there are other shortcuts like it, one is called "I am getting pulled over":

first of all, thank you, I didn't know I had a Shortcuts app, I was just looking in settings… however, after perusing the Shortcuts app, both in Shortcuts and gallery, I can't find reference to anything like emergency video or anything
 about a Videos! I wonder if I need to update or anything… Getting there, slowly, thanks for the help thus far, Sandy and Z

 if set up correctly you can just say "Emergency Video" to Siri and it will start recording.

RE: Sound Bar Recommendations Wanted

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Why would you want a soundbar instead of a set of speakers which would give you 
much better stereo sound?
Could you provide an upper price limit, it would really help in making 
recommendations

Hi, all.


I'm wanting to get a reasonably priced yet good sounding sound bar to use with 
my phone.  I don't have a TV, so using my phone and Bluetooth would be the only 
way i would be connecting the sound bar.  This would be for mostly music and 
DVS content if that helps.


Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.


TIA

RE: Instructions on how to set up Apple Card high-yield savings account

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Not at this point:

Another year has gone by without Apple expanding Apple Card availability 
outside the US
Tom Sykes
POSTED ON 01/01/2023

Another 12 months have gone by without Apple expanding Apple Card availability 
outside the US, over three years after the service first launched in August 
2019. Apple Card, created in partnership with investment banking company 
Goldman Sachs, allows users to track spending and help manage bills within the 
Wallet app on iOS – completely fee-free, and with lower interest rates compared 
to traditional banks.
Users can make purchases using their Apple Card with Apple Pay on their iPhone, 
iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac, or with the optional titanium Apple Card banking 
card, which features no printed card number or security code, making it the 
world’s most secure credit card.
Since its launch, Apple has kept Apple Card exclusive to customers in the US, 
although at one point there were rumors that an international expansion was on 
the table after
Apple acquired Credit Kudos, a UK open banking startup earlier this year, 
suggesting the service could arrive in the UK, as well as the iPhone maker 
receiving trademark approval for the name Apple Card in Canada in 2021, 
although nothing ever came of the two developments.
The credit card industry works differently in the US than the rest of the 
world. The fees companies charge to merchants whenever they take a card payment 
are relatively low elsewhere compared to the US, making it hard for Apple to 
offer the same Apple Card perks that it does in the US, such as Daily Cash 
back. With there being no expansion to the availability of Apple Card over the 
past three years, it seems like at least for now, Apple is happy with having 
the service limited to users in the United States. There is no word from Apple 
on if an international expansion is planned, but many users are hoping that the 
New Year sees the iPhone maker expand the availability of the service beyond 
Apple’s home country.
