Carolyn, 
I understand that, but I still don't see how anyone can say that is weird 
though.  Regardless who said it.  Smile!

Hi Carolyn,
I really don't understand why anyone would say that is weird to unlock a phone, 
as we as blind people unlock the phone with face id the same way as sighted 
people, so I'm really lost on this one!  LOL!

Not really sure what the argument is here. Nothing wrong with people choosing 
not to use their smart phone eyes free for whatever reason.
Also, once someone told me that others might think I look weird using my phone 
in my pocket then I'm free to do whatever I want and it's really no one else's 
business after that.


BTW, one of the things I liked about my Nokia running Symbian with Talks and 
using the T9 interface was how easy it was to use with one hand and without 
ever having to pull it out of my pocket.

Lenron, 
You definitely have the wrong idea about this face id.  Now, I can understand 
if you just don't like it, or you just don't want it, as that is your right, 
but Spin your head around hop up and down to unlock your phone, not so.  You 
are blowing this all out of proportion!  LOL!

RE: face id opinions wanted

2018-12-18 Thread janet gross
Hi Simon and All, 
Wow, so you think someone should be shot!  LOL!  Smile!  I think this face id 
issue is well blown out of proportion.  Some people are thinking they have to 
move their head around and around to unlock their phone, this is not the case 
at all.  The only time someone will have to move their head around is during 
the face id set up process , and then just look at the phone when you want to 
unlock it.  If you want to unlock the phone while in your pocket, try lifting 
the phone out of your pocket, and look down at it, and place it back in your 
pocket.  Just a thought, so please don't shoot me, just trying to help.  I do 
have face id set up on my xr phone, and I did set it up myself.  The face id 
feature will walk you through the set up process, meaning it will tell you to 
turn your head to the right or to the left, or to look down, or to look at the 
screen etc. When I unlock my phone, I press the power button, and look at the 
phone, and the majority of the time it will unlock, but I've noticed if I don't 
look directly at the phone, it will not unlock, and I tried that just to see if 
it would really unlock if I wasn't looking directly at the phone.  Now, it does 
annoy me rather I look directly at the phone or not, and it will still ask me 
for my security code, but from my understanding from Apple, this is how the 
face id feature is set up, and the reason is for security purposes, in which I 
can appreciate, but still annoying at the sametime though.

phone, although, this will be the second time doing this, but I’m willing to 
try.  Since I set up the phone last week as a new phone, I haven’t downloaded 
any of my old apps.
Janet

Hi,
This might be a long shot but I’m wondering if you erased all content on your 
phone set it up as new and redownloaded your apps if it might not clear itself 
up.  I only ask because once upon a time I had an app that I’d purchased before 
an Apple ID change that was still somehow causing a dust up because it was 
still somehow looking for the old ID. Not sure if that helps oar not but might 
be one way of tidying things up.
Good luck with it all.
Robin

Sieghard,
I think it is asking me for my old Apple id in which I don’t remember.  Now, I 
have no problem signing in on my phone using my current Apple id, or my current 
password, but I’m sure the phone is asking me for my old password which is 
assigned to my old Apple id.  So if I reset my current password,, I will still 
get the message to enter my password, but again that is to my old Apple id.  
I’m having the same problem with iTunes on my PC regarding the password issue.
I don’t even know why would my old Apple id even be on my phone any more 
though.  I’m going to try and call Apple, and if they can’t fix this over the 
phone, I will have to go to the Apple store.

Hi Janet,

OK, I'm pretty confused now, you say you can sign in with the link I provided 
but you say it won't accept your password.
If it doesn't accept your password then you can't sign in.
You need to start the process to reset your password by going to the following 
website:

Recover your Apple Id<https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid>

This is a site off the main AppleID.Apple.com, there is a link you click called 
"Recover my Apple Id or Password", but in order to make it easier you can just 
click on the above link and it goes straight there.
Start by entering your Outlook.com email which you say is your current Apple 
Id, then click continue and follow the instructions.
If you can't successfully reset your password I strongly recommend you go to an 
Apple Store and ask if they can help because if you do this often enough it may 
lock your Apple Id down so much that it could take an even greater effort to 
get it going again.

Regards,
Sieghard

Janet,

Try entering the password that you use to unlock your iPhone. When installing 
IOS updates the iPhone will restart once the update is complete. If you have a 
passcode set for restrictions it may be requesting that passcode be entered. My 
guess is it wants your unlock password though. If you have forgotten the 
password to your first iTunes username; when logged out of all iTunes accounts, 
enter the old iTunes user email & swipe to I Forgot. You should have had to 
setup secret questions when originally setting up the old iTunes account. You 
will be given 2 of the questions, just type in their answer. If the questions 
are   answered correctly, you will be prompted to enter a new password & 
confirm the new password.

my Apple id settings, but when I enter my current password in order to update, 
I get a message saying wrong password, because it is asking me to update to an 
old Apple id, and I have no idea what that password was because I haven't used 
that password in over 3 years.  I was quite surprised to see this as well.  
Matter of fact, I have the exact same problem with iTunes on my Pc, and that is 
the reason I can't use iTunes on my Pc because I don't remember the old 
password.  I'm not even sure how or when all these changes came about, or 
unless when I changed my Apple id 3 years ago, and I didn't update certain 
settings.  I'm not sure.  I also can see on the phone my current Apple id as 
well, so this is rather confusing.  In short, I don't remember the password to 
the old Apple id as I said I haven't used that for at least 3 years.  I've had 
several problems with my old phone 6, and this could very well be at least one 
of the problems, or maybe the culprit.  LOL!  Now, the question, can I change 
the old Apple id to my current Apple id, just so I don't have to start changing 
all these Apple id's and passwords? If that makes any sense!
This is getting to be quite annoying.
Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sieghard,
This current issue I’m having has nothing to do with just downloading a

because my new xr phone has the old phone 6 settings.  I will have to set up my 
xr phone once again as a new phone.  Even though, an Apple rep and I set the xr 
phone up as a new phone last week, unknown to myself, the phone 6 was connected 
to my xr phone, and the reason I say this is because my new xr phone is working 
exactly like my phone 6, in which is very poorly.

If you are talking about an app update I assume the problem is that you may 
have originally purchased or downloaded the app with the old Apple Id. If you 
know what app it is I would simply delete it and redownload it and all should 
be good.

Hi All,

Ok, I followed the instructions by signing out, and signing back in, and that 
was successful.  I am still getting the same message though.  On the home 
screen, it says there is one update available. So I go in to the setting's app, 
and tap on the update Apple id settings.  It says I have to sign in to update 
my Apple id settings, or some services will not be available until I sign in 
again.  When I tap on the update Apple id, I'm asked to sign in using my 
password, so I enter my password, I then get a message saying wrong password, 
and then I get a message saying I need to enter my Apple id and password, but I 
don't get an edit field to enter my Apple id just a field to enter my password. 
 Although, I did enter my Apple id in the only edit field, as well as my 
password, but I still get the same message saying wrong password.  This is 
crazy.  Any other suggestions?

Thank you all so much.

I'm really lost on this one.

Signed out of both iTunes and iCloud on your iPhone. Then try to sign back in 
again. Another option is to clear you’re  cache. The last suggestion would be 
to call Apple accessibility. Unfortunately, there is no way to merge you’re old 
and new Apple ID. Concerning iTunes, you should just be able to sign out on the 
PC. If not, ensure your library is backed up, uninstall then reinstall iTunes.

RE: Passcode issues

2018-11-22 Thread janet gross
Hi Marie,
I’m sorry to hear about your problems with the face id.  I had the same 
problem, and wow, can that be annoying!  It was actually driving me crazy!  Did 
you ever call Apple? If so, can I ask you what they told you? Have you tried 
going back to the home screen when the face id doesn’t work, and when it 
continuously asks for your passcode? I now find when it asks me for my pass 
code, and if I swipe up from the very bottom of the screen just a little until 
I feel the first vibration, and lift my finger, I can then try the face id 
option again, and the majority of the time it will unlock the phone.  I’ve also 
noticed if I hold my phone up to my face with my left hand, the phone will not 
unlock, but if I hold up the phone with my right hand, I have a much better 
chance of unlocking the phone.  Strange I know, but it is what it is!  Smile!
Matter of fact, I also had a difficult time when I was setting up face id 
myself, I was setting up the face id feature holding the phone in my left hand, 
and VO kept telling me face id is not available on this device, so I thought ok 
I’m going to try this for the fourth time, and I used my right hand then, and 
sure enough, the face id feature was accepted.  Who knows, but I must not be 
holding the phone directly in front of my face when using my left hand.  Go 
figure.  Smile!  I would like to know how your phone is now working though.

It seems to recognize the fingerprint fairly consistently but even so, the

that phone. But I recently got an IPhone X and if not in decent light, the face 
ID does not work and it seems that it requires a code or ID every time the

to enter the code so often? In the passcode setting there is a section about 
when it is required and the one and only option is “immediately”. why is that 
the only selection and is there any way to change it?
Please help me with this before I lose my mind totally. LOL

Thank you, Janet, and everyone else concerning the radio apps. As I was saying 
there was a radio app that I had heard about that was just called radio, and 
when we searched the app store we found radio.com and radio.net. We did try 
radio.com, but we weren't too crazy about it. Maybe we'll look into radio.net. 
The radio.com app is free. It would be great to find an app that you could go 
to different radio stations, not just locally, but all over the world, as you 
could do on the computer with sites like radio locator. I was just wondering if 
there are any free radio apps where you could go to radio stations, as you can 
on tune in and now I can't think of the other app that will do that? The 
radio.com does have podcasts too, if anyone would like to try it, so that part 
was interesting too.  thank you.

I've heard about the radio app just called radio, but in searching for it

RE: Face ID: how to initiate second scan with Voice Over?

2018-11-18 Thread janet gross
Hi, 
I'm reluctant to enter my pass code when out in public or around some people 
who I might not know very well, for the simple fact, I use vo, and if I can 
hear vo, I'm sure others can hear it as well.  As far as entering my pass code 
while my phone is in my pocket, again, if I can hear vo, I'm sure others can as 
well.  I Wouldn't buy ear phones just for that reason.  I will now use the home 
gesture for unlocking my phone.

To each their own, but I wouldn't be as reluctant to enter in my pin. You can 
do so with your phone still in your pocket or purse or if that's too awkward, 
then just enable the screen curtain so if someone's actually taking the time to 
watch you for the 2 or 3 seconds that it takes to punch in 4 or 6 or whatever 
digits, they'll see you tapping away at a black screen anyway. If I'm out and 
about, I always use a blutooth earpiece. Be it my Trekz Air or Plantronics 
5500. Having Vo just chattering away like that feels awkward and it's hard to 
hear anyway. I like my privacy too.
I do prefer the old touch ID method, but ho well, so goes technology.

Hi Maria, 
 Unfortunately, that won't work for me.  If the face id doesn't recognize my 
face the first time, I don't get a second chance, so in order to unlock the 
phone, I have to enter my pass code.  Smile!  Now, if I have to enter my pass 
code to unlock the phone when I am out, I don't feel comfortable entering my 
pass code when out in public though.  I don't think that is a smart thing to 
do, as one might not know who is around.  I know when I power down the phone I 
have to enter my pass code.  
Although, I have to admit when I unlock my phone using face id, I'm quite 
amazed that the face id can still recognize my face even if I'm in the dark or 
even if I am wearing my sun glasses, as when I set up the face id feature, I 
wasn't wearing my sun glasses, and I was in a bright setting, and I even had 
the screen curtain turned on as I usually do, but I forgot it was on when I was 
setting up the face id.  I think this alone is quite amazing though!  I'm 
actually blown away by this!  It doesn't take much to please me!  Smile!

Try doing the Home gesture again; it should scan again. You can also lock and

Hi Anna, 
Thank you again for this.  So, trickle charge mode, I didn't know this,

Subject: Re: Lightning Connector With Phone XR Question Please.

Hi Janet,

In the last few percents of charge, the phone goes into a trickle charge mode 
where charging is slow so the battery won't overcharge. That's probably why you 
saw it take a while for the battery to go from 99% to 100%.

There was a bug in the software when iOS 12 first came out that meant devices 
sometimes didn't charge if they were locked when you plugged them in. that bug 
was fixed in an update. It's possible that you ran into the bug with the 
charger that came with your phone, and that all of the hardware is actually 
working. Make sure you have the latest version of iOS 12.1, and try the new 
hardware again the next time you need to charge.

Best,
Anna

RE: Lightning Connector With Phone XR Question Please.

2018-11-18 Thread janet gross
Hi Anna, 
De, I can't believe I didn't even think of that!  Woe, I'm losing it!  Smile!  
Ok, I did switch the old and new cables, and the wall bricks, and now, both old 
and new cables say charging in the status bar on the home screen.  Although, it 
took all this time for the batteries to finally charge from 99 percent to 100 
percent.  This doesn't sound right.  Since I've had the phone I used it with 
the old charger, and it would charge to 100 percent, but now it seems like the 
batteries are having a hard time charging with the old and new cables and 
bricks.Any thoughts? 
Thank  you so much.  
Janet

Hi Janet,

Try the new cable with the old charging brick, and vice versa. See which 
combination doesn't work.

Lightning Connector With Phone XR Question Please.

2018-11-18 Thread janet gross
Hello Everyone,
Does the Lightning Connector that comes with an iPhone xr charge the phone? I 
recently bought the xr phone, but when I plug in the Lightning Connector, it 
does not charge the phone.  So, I've been using the phone 6 charger that came 
with the phone 6 in order to charge my new xr phone.
Any help with this issue will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Amazon Strikes Deal With Apple.

2018-11-10 Thread janet gross
Hi All,
Well, I've been reading the news again, and I thought some might be interested 
in knowing this.
Janet

Amazon strikes deal with Apple to sell new iPhones and iPads
The products will be sold directly from Apple and Apple-authorized retailers
By
Chaim Gartenberg
@cgartenberg
Nov  9, 2018, 11:37am EST
Amazon has made a deal with Apple that will see the Cupertino tech company sell 
its products - including iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches - directly on
Amazon, according to a report
from CNET.
Amazon has sold Apple products before, but those have been from third-party 
sellers, which means that the prices are often variable (and wildly different
from the "official" Apple prices) and that sourcing isn't as reputable.
Apple products will start rolling out on Amazon sites in the US, UK, France, 
Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and India over the next few weeks, including
both Apple's devices and those sold under the Apple-owned Beats brand. The deal 
doesn't include every Apple product, though. For example, Apple's Echo-competing
HomePod is notably not going to be sold on Amazon.
In a statement released to The Verge, an Amazon spokesperson commented, "Amazon 
is constantly working to enhance the customer experience, and one of the
ways we do this is by increasing selection of the products we know customers 
want. We look forward to expanding our assortment of Apple and Beats products
globally."
As part of the deal, only Apple or Apple-authorized resellers will now be 
allowed to sell Apple and Beats devices through Amazon's site. Any companies
that are currently selling Apple products on Amazon will see their listings 
taken down starting on January 4th, and they'll need to apply to Apple to become
official resellers before they'll be allowed to sell them again on Amazon.

Update November 9th, 11:44AM: Added Amazon statement given to The Verge.

We Might Finally Know Why Apple Cut XR Phone Orders.

2018-11-10 Thread janet gross
HI All,
I just came  across this as I was reading the news.  So, I thought I would 
share, as some might be interested in this.
Janet

We might finally know why Apple cut iPhone XR orders, and it has nothing to do 
with slow sales
Yoni Heisler
@edibleapple
November 7th, 2018 at 2:20 PM

Earlier this week, a somewhat sketchy report surfaced claiming that Apple told 
its manufacturing partners to reduce iPhone XR production due to lower than
anticipated demand. Even more alarming, the report claimed that overall 
production might drop by as much as 25%. Naturally, many took the report as 
further
proof that the iPhone has hit its peak, even though the report seemed to raise 
far more questions than answers.
For starters, the claim that iPhone XR demand is exceedingly below expectations 
runs somewhat counter to a previous report from reputed analyst Ming-Chi
Kuo who just recently raised his iPhone XR sales estimate for the December 
quarter. Further, it seems odd that Apple would drastically cut production ahead
of the busy holiday shopping season. So just what, exactly, is going on?
Well as it turns out, Apple may have indeed ordered a rollback in production, 
but not for reasons pertaining to demand. According to a research note from
analyst Jun Zhang (originally brought to light by Philip Elmer-DeWitt's
Apple 3.0),
there may have been some quality control issues involving the iPhone XR's 
printed circuit boards that led to a reduction in production output.
Zhang's note reads in part:

We also believe component pull-ins are slowing down this week. We believe some 
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) supplier shipments of HDI boards were quickly
dropped this week. This may be attributable to quality issues from Skyworks 
PAs. We believe this potential round of iPhone XR production cuts by Apple
may be attributable to the recently found PA quality issues.
In short, the sky isn't falling and iPhone sales aren't about to drop 
drastically. Far from it, it stands to reason that Apple during the current 
holiday
quarter will see a huge boost in iPhone sales due to a wide selection of 3 
brand new iPhone models. Of course, with Apple no longer keen on releasing 
quarterly
iPhone sales, we really won't be able to know how iPhone sales fared relative 
to previous quarters.
Broadly speaking, the original report regarding a drop in iPhone production 
illustrates why Apple understandably wants to keep iPhone sales close to its
chest. As we saw here, a report regarding a drop in iPhone production can 
easily be interpreted in a completely misleading manner and not accurately 
portray
the vibrancy of Apple's business. Similarly, with iPhones no longer launching 
on a set schedule these days (with last year's iPhone X launching in November
and the iPhone XR launching in late October of this year), a random 12 week 
snapshot of iPhone sales is not nearly as instructive as it was years ago.

So in your case since it's just a typical reboot, do as I suggested by 
just turning the phone off and back on. You don't need to force reboot 
for what you're wanting to do.

HI, 
Yes, I agree with you this shouldn't cause VO to change, but it does.

This shouldn't cause VO to change at all since you're turning the volume 
up one and back to where it was when you hit the volume down. So here's 
how to do it, press volume up and quickly release, then press volume 
down and quickly release. Then hold down the side button and count to 
12. This should give you your reboot.

Hi, 
Ok I once again tried to do a typical restart, by pressing the power button and 
wait for the option to shut down, but that only just brought up Siri, not a 
restart though.  
Any other suggestions? 
Janet 
Thank you.

Yes, press volume up and release quickly. then press volume down and 
release quickly. Then press and hold power button and count to 12. Your 
phone will reboot and come up like you're wanting. This is something you 
would want to do if the phone is stuck or other things like that. If 
you're just wanting to do a typical restart, power down by holding power 
button until voice over says power down. Then choose the on screen 
button to shut it down. then just turn your phone back on.

Rebooting a xr phone question please.

2018-11-04 Thread janet gross
Hi Everyone,
I want to reboot my xr phone, and I was told by Apple to first press the up 
volume and then press the down volume and then press the power button, and the 
phone will reboot.  Now, when I do this the only thing that I know is happening 
is lowering the vo voice so I can't hear anything, and the phone does not come 
back on automatically either like I was told it would, but if it does, I can't 
hear anything.  I know I can turn vo back on, but I can't believe this is the 
way to reboot the phone.
So if any xr phone users know how to reboot the phone, please share?
Thank you in advance.
Janet

Hello,

It depends if you back up your keychain to iCloud. If you do, it backs
up your wifi settings and passwords. If you are concerned about
network security, unchek the keychain backup in iCloud settings.

RE: 10 ways the iPhone XR is worse than the iPhone XS [

2018-11-02 Thread janet gross
HI Cristóbal and All,
Yes, I have to agree with you when you say: you do notice a difference in 
overall performance between your new Xr and your old SE, but it’s not like it’s 
night and day either.  I’m coming from a phone 6 to a xr in which the phone 6 
either over heated or caught fire because the total front screen was completely 
coming off, and whenever I opened an app, aw man, my phone would get extremely 
hot, to the point I wouldn’t even hold it in my hands.  Matter of fact, I had 
to keep putting my phone on a cool  surface, and wait for several minutes for 
the phone to cool down.  Matter of fact, my phone carrier at the last minute 
decided they didn’t want my old phone because it was so badly damaged, but they 
still gave me a $250 credit.  No one wants my old phone!  LOL!
Now, don’t get me wrong, my new phone xr is a nice phone, but I just don’t see 
a huge difference or not as of yet, but I’ve only had it since yesterday, so I 
am still trying to get used to it though.

With the newer phones we’re probably dealing with the diminishing returns issue 
on processor performance. Especially with VO users like ourselves who don’t’ 
use graphic intensive games or apps.

As usual, Sieghard, you display imminent sense. I'm probably happier than Apple 
really wants me to be with my 7. It took until this generation to even reach 
this point of mild interest. Processor speed is the only area where I'd really 
have to disagree with you. I noticed some fairly large improvements going from 
4 to 5S and from 5S to 7. Processor speed makes a noticeable difference when 
you're listening to music, have email, word processing and social media all 
going. They usually check for updates in the background. I found that I could 
have more happpening without things locking up on me which used to be a far 
more frequent occurance. I think part of that is VoiceOver placing demands on 
the processor. I also suspect it might make a difference with navigational apps 
but haven't made good use of those for a long enough period to judge.

Due to a couple of unfortunate business failures, we don't have some of the 
more intensive audio games that used to exist. Papa Sangre and Audio Defence 
really put iPHONEs through their paces. There are some over-priced arcade style 
games around but nothing like what Something Else Ltd brought to us. Story and 
statistic-driven games like Six Ages don't demand much from processors despite 
their complexity.

You're absolutely right when it comes to being caught up in the upgrade frenzy. 
There have been hinge points though. Going to the 64-bit 5S certainly made a 
big difference for me. My 7 was certainly a noticeable improvement but more in 
terms of stability and quicker app switching, openning and closing. A lot of 
little things.

Hi Michael,

Here is my take on some of what you said:

“I have an iPHONE7 and am pretty happy with it. However, I would jump at the XR 
if money were no object.”
I still have my 6S Plus with 64Gb of storage and only using about half. If 
money were no object I’d get an iPhone XS Max with 256Gb or 512Gb, I mean, 
heck, money is no object, right?

“Things have reached the point where I'd actually be interested in the 
improvements to the processor and camera” and “If the camera results in better 
OCR and object recognition, that would also be very helpful.”
The difference in the camera between the iPhone 7 and XR or for that matter 
even between the iPhone 6S and iPhone XS may be of importance when it comes to 
doing fancy photography, but they won’t make a hoot of a difference when it 
comes to OCR. At least that is my opinion, even the camera of the 6S is already 
so good that for simple OCR it is just fine and in fact I sometimes wonder if 
too much detail isn’t actually having a negative effect.
As for processor speed you may notice this in processor intensive games, but 
for every-day tasks the faster processor makes a negligible difference. I have 
often noticed that when I upgraded, e.g. when I upgraded from a 4S to a 5S or 
the 5S to the 6S which always were two-generation jumps that for almost all of 
the day to day stuff I do the increased processor speed was not all that 
noticeable.

RE: Question about charging the phone

Hi Dave and All,  
Ok, now this sounds much better.  I just couldn't imagine to get a full charge 
it would take that long.  I think I had mentioned to you before I didn't know 
if I would get the phone 8 or the phone 10r, but I did feel the size of the 
10R, and it wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be meaning to large for my 
hands.   
Besides, the 10R felt even better in my hands when I got a $250 credit for a 
trade in of my old phone, even though my phone is as old as it is, and the 
front screen is just about completely off from the batteries over heating, and 
I still got $250 as a trade in.  LOL!  I couldn't believe it, so I took the 
deal!  Smile!  

Thank you so much.

RE: Question about charging the phone

2018-10-30 Thread janet gross
Hi John, 
I never use my computer to charge my phone.  I am pretty curious to see just 
how long this 10R will really take to charge.  I will be quite surprised if it 
really takes that long for a full charge, when my iPhone 6, I  guaranteer a 
full charge take only 25 or 30 minutes, and the iPhone 6 is old now!  Wow, it 
looks like I just might miss my old phone.  LOL!

   Connecting your phone to a computer is always going to be a much slower 
charge. I would plug it into the wall instead. It should only take an hour or 
two to fully recharge from a  low to completely dead state back up to 100 
percent.

Hi Rena and All,
Rena, this is a good question in which I would like to know as well.  I just 
bought a new iPhone 10R, and I asked the rep from my phone carrier why would it 
take about three hours for a full charge as this is what he told me.  Although, 
my phone carrier ordered the phone for me in the color that I wanted, so I 
don’t have the phone as of yet to actually check that.  I do currently have an 
iPhone 6, and I can get a full charge with this phone in 25 or 30 minutes, but 
not with the new 10R? I don’t understand this one though.

telephones as a computer is like an electronic calculator. I still have my 
Sharp talking calculator and watch bought around 1985, shortly after I became

 I suppose what ‘m about to write here can be attributed to my “Long in the 
Tooth” age, but I find it so very amusing when it’s suggested that the smart 
phones (any brand) will last a long time - meaning maybe 5 or 6 years.  I 
readily recall when a telephone was designed and manufactured to survive all 
but a nuclear blast.

In fact, one of the first quite interesting bits of information I learned when 
I first began working at AT&T Bell Labs was that the company had a concrete 
platform at the base of a 10 story building in New Jersey; that concrete 
platform was used as a proofing ground for new AT&T telephone designs.  A 
prototype telephone would be repeatedly dropped from the 10th story onto the 
concrete platform until it continued to function properly after that 10-story 
fall.

Times, and customer expectations, certainly have changed over the past  60 or 
so years.

And, yes, I understand that these smart phones do so much more than the old 
POTS telephones.  But ultimately, I believe that the principle purpose of 
having a phone of any kind is to make telephone calls.  I certainly appreciate 
the “pocket computer” aspect of the modern smart phone, but I do get a chuckle 
when I hear about how they are designed to last a long time; again, meaning 
maybe 5 or 6 years!  ;-)

Hi traci,
I’m also seriously thinking about taking the same approach getting my batteries 
replaced on my phone 6, and not upgrading right now.  Although, I do have a few 
unwanted flakes with my phone that I am going to try and correct.  I will then 
update to iOS 12, and the phone just might be like new again, and that wouldn’t 
surprise me!

I don’t have to have the best or the newest phone, just as long as it does what 
I want it to do, I’m fine with it!  Smile!  Hey Traci, I don’t think Apple will

 alt="iPhone XR vs iPhone 8: What's the Difference" />

Despite its size suggesting otherwise, the iPhone XR replaces the iPhone 
8<http://iphonehacks.com/iphone-8> in Apple’s iPhone lineup. This is more 
because of the way it has been priced as it is the cheapest newest iPhone in 
Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup. There’s a huge size difference between the two but 
given how Apple has priced the iPhone XR, it is likely going to be the most 
popular iPhone of all the three handsets.

What is the difference between iPhone XR and iPhone 8?

So, how does the iPhone 8 compare to the iPhone XR? Is the latter really that 
much better? Let’s find out in our comparison.

Design

  *   iPhone XR – 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm and 194g, IP67 certified
  *   iPhone 8 – 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and 148g, IP67 certified

The iPhone XR is substantially larger than the iPhone 8. This is largely due to 
the former coming with a bigger 6.1-inch LCD display. Despite the 1.4-inch jump 
in screen size, the iPhone XR is still relatively compact since it features an 
almost bezel-less display. Both phones are IP67 certified. Unlike the iPhone 8, 
the iPhone XR is also available in a bunch of colors including Red, Yellow, and 
Orange.

Display

  *   iPhone XR – 6.1-inch True Tone Liquid Retina LCD display, 1792 x 828 
pixels (326 ppi), No 3D Touch
  *   iPhone 8 – 4.7-inch True Tone Retina HD IPS LCD display, 1334 x 750 pixel 
(326 ppi), 3D Touch

The iPhone XR comes with a bigger and higher resolution Liquid Retina display. 
Apple claims it is the most color accurate LCD display in the market right now. 
However, unlike the 4.7-inch display of the iPhone 8, the iPhone XR lacks 3D 
Touch.

Processor

  *   iPhone XR – A12 Bionic, 7nm chip, 6-core CPU which is 15 percent faster, 
50 percent faster 4-core GPU, 8-core Neural engine
  *   iPhone 8 – A11 Bionic, 10nm chip, 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU, Neural engine

Apple’s A11 Bionic chip from last year is still a powerhouse when it comes to 
performance. With the iPhone Xs though, Apple is taking things to a different 
level altogether. The two performance cores in A12 bionic are up to 15 percent 
faster, while the 4 efficiency cores consume 50 percent less power when 
compared to the A11 Bionic. The 4-core GPU also offers 50 perce

Kenny,
I think the older the phone is the less you might get back in a trade in 
though.  I could very well be wrong, and maybe someone else will chime in here 
regarding this.  When I bought my phone 6, I asked Apple one year later what 
would they give me for a trade in, and they said $100, and I paid $815, and 
only had it for a year.  I told them not a chance!  It’s not going to happen.

If anyone knows of a trade-in deal being offered by Verizon, ATnT, Tmobile that 
offers more than $529 for an iPhone 8 (In pristine condition,) please let me

That would be cool, only they have to be in sync with a phone, but the phone

whatever we do with the things. It's hard to think of opening the news or

maybe by next year when Apple brings out another new phone, maybe they will 
increase the size of the iWatch just a little from what they are now, and Voila

I don't know anything about the iWatches though, but by the looks of things, we

Hi,

You can also open the Books (formerly iBooks) app, choose Library, then Search, 
and search for iPhone user guide.

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a downloadable version of the SE manual? 
Apple support doesn't appear to offer one, and I didn't find anything that 
actually worked on Google.

Hi Kliph,
Thank you for this.  This does make sense when considering the size of a phone 
one might want.  Maybe there’s some hope yet for me to get the XR though, as 
that is what I wanted, but I’ll see.
the screen sizes and the edge to edge is something I didn’t even think about.

Let’s be clear here.  The screen size is bigger, not actual size.  Remember the 
XR is going to be edge to edge.  The screen size of the X is 5.8, and the 6, 7, 
and 8, are all 4.7.  But the x is actually smaller then all of those because of 
being edge to edge, really nice phone too, just sole mine this morning to get 
the max, or XR, not sure just yet.

Despite its size suggesting otherwise, the iPhone XR replaces the iPhone

because of the way it has been priced as it is the cheapest newest iPhone in 
Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup. There’s a huge size difference between the two but 
given how Apple has priced the iPhone XR, it is likely going to be the most 
popular iPhone of all the three handsets.
What is the difference between iPhone XR and iPhone 8?
So, how does the iPhone 8 compare to the iPhone XR? Is the latter really that 
much better? Let’s find out in our comparison.

  *   iPhone 8 – 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and 148g, IP67 certified
The iPhone XR is substantially larger than the iPhone 8. This is largely due to 
the former coming with a bigger 6.1-inch LCD display. Despite the 1.4-inch jump 
in screen size, the iPhone XR is still relatively compact since it features an 
almost bezel-less display. Both phones are IP67 certified. Unlike the iPhone 8,

Carolyn, 
When I do get a new phone, I will keep my current phone, and use it for other 
things though.  I don't have any plans on trading in my phone.  Although, I 
don't even think I could get a trade in even if I wanted to.

It does sound like a nice phone.

Right now, my plan is to wait a year or so, see if I can trade my phone up to 
an XR. I doubt I'll get anything really for my phone, but $10-$25 is better 
than nothing.

iPhone XR vs iPhone 8: What’s the Difference

 

 
iPhone XR vs iPhone 8: What's the Difference

Despite its size suggesting otherwise, the iPhone XR replaces the 
iPhone 8   in Apple’s iPhone lineup. This is 
more because of the way it has been priced as it is the cheapest newest iPhone 
in Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup. There’s a huge size difference between the two 
but given how Apple has priced the iPhone XR, it is likely going to be the most 
popular iPhone of all the three handsets.




What is the difference between iPhone XR and iPhone 8?


So, how does the iPhone 8 compare to the iPhone XR? Is the latter 
really that much better? Let’s find out in our comparison.


Design


*   iPhone XR – 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm and 194g, IP67 certified
*   iPhone 8 – 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and 148g, IP67 certified

The iPhone XR is substantially larger than the iPhone 8. This is 
largely due to the former coming with a bigger 6.1-inch LCD display. Despite 
the 1.4-inch jump in screen size, the iPhone XR is still relatively compact 
since it features an almost bezel-less display. Both phones are IP67 certified. 
Unlike the iPhone 8, the iPhone XR is also available in a bunch of colors 
including Red, Yellow, and Orange.


Display


*   iPhone XR – 6.1-inch True Tone Liquid Retina LCD display, 1792 
x 828 pixels (326 ppi), No 3D Touch
*   iPhone 8 – 4.7-inch True Tone Retina HD IPS LCD display, 1334 x 
750 pixel (326 ppi), 3D Touch

The iPhone XR comes with a bigger and higher resolution Liquid Retina 
display. Apple claims it is the most color accurate LCD display in the market 
right now. However, unlike the 4.7-inch display of the iPhone 8, the iPhone XR 
lacks 3D Touch.


Processor


*   iPhone XR – A12 Bionic, 7nm chip, 6-core CPU which is 15 
percent faster, 50 percent faster 4-core GPU, 8-core Neural engine
*   iPhone 8 – A11 Bionic, 10nm chip, 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU, 
Neural engine

Apple’s A11 Bionic chip from last year is still a powerhouse when it 
comes to performance. With the iPhone Xs though, Apple is taking things to a 
different level altogether. The two performance cores in A12 bionic are up to 
15 percent faster, while the 4 efficiency cores consume 50 percent less power 
when compared to the A11 Bionic. The 4-core GPU also offers 50 percent faster 
performance when compared to the A11 Bionic and it has been optimized 
specifically for Metal 2.

The 8-core Neural engine is getting a massive performance boost as 
well. It is now capable of processing 5 trillion operations per second, while 
the A11 Bionic’s Neural engine tops out at 600 million operations/sec. This 
allows the A12 Bionic to complete certain system tasks faster and also greatly 
helps in quickly completing complex calculations for Memoji and Animoji.

2018-09-17 Thread janet gross
Hey Carolyn, 
I'm beginning to think if we want the smaller screens, we might have to buy an 
iWatch, because Apple is coming out with these larger and larger phones.  So 
maybe by next year when Apple brings out another new phone, maybe they will 
increase the size of the iWatch just a little from what they are now, and Voila 
 there's the new SE phone back, for those who like the smaller screens!  Smile! 
I don't know anything about the iWatches though, but by the looks of things, we 
might have to learn about them!  Smile!  I'm also beginning to wonder about 
these larger phones, maybe those are going to take the place of the iPad Minis! 
 LOL!  Just my personal  opinion.

Kenny, 

Maybe talk to your phone carrier about a trade in.  I think most if not all 
phone carriers are doing some kind of trade in promotion.  My only concern 
about the xr phone in which is what I would like, it might be too large for my 
hands.  From my understanding, the xr phone is much larger than my phone 6.  I 
will have to wait to go to a store and feel the xr for myself.  

But then again, I just might take a watch and wait approach.  If I update to 
iOS 12, and maybe get the battery replacement before December, I might not even 
need to update, but I’ll see.  

A lot to think about.

RE: face id question

2018-09-13 Thread janet gross
Hi Mary and all, 
Well, I have to admit, if I'm walking down the street or sitting in a 
restaurant and I want to unlock my phone for whatever reason, I would feel like 
a real idiot pulling my phone out of my purse, and just holding it up to my 
face, so now, I've unlocked my phone so someone can just walk right pass, and 
grab the phone, but who knows, they just might say thank you!

Hi Sieghard,
Yes, I am upset about the security ramifications of face ID. In my own personal 
use case, living where I do and with my current mobility limitations, thank you 
chemotherapy, it’s not a huge deal for me. But I can’t see it being a big deal 
for others. So it’s not all about me.

RE: IPhone X

2018-09-13 Thread janet gross
Hi Everyone, 
Well, I have to admit, I'm quite disappointed in Apple with their so called new 
phones for 2018.  The iPhone x has been discontinued as well as the iPhone SE 
and the iPhone 6s.  that is probably why you don't see it on Apple's web site.  
Marie, no you're not the only one who is curious.  Why discontinue the iPhone 
x, but bring out the iPhone xr which is supposed to be the same as the iPhone x 
from last year!  Go figure!  
Oh yeah, one can buy an iPhone 7 or 7s as well as the iPhone 8.  This makes no 
sense at all.  I bought my iPhone 6 in 2015 for $799 with a charger as well as 
iPods, so where is the budget phone!   
Janet

They did this so they could force you to buy this years model. Making
you spend more money of course but you can still purchase they 8 or
8plus from last year or buy used.
