Mobile Phone Discussions (Apple)

I’ve been using Apple Pay exclusively for nearly 5 years, google pay for a few before that. I travelled abroad many times without ever taking my cards with me. (Looking back that was stupid regardless)

Crazy that we’re going back in progress here
When I go abroad I always take my wallet but I usually left it at the hotel and went full mobile

Didnt have to use my Wise card at all when in France, entirely Apple Pay.

I can nearly max out my gigabit connection using WiFi on my iPhone 15, never used to be able to max it out before on the 14

I find the iPhone pretty frustrating on WiFi, rarely connects using 6E even when in the same room as the router.

The Samsung on the other hand…

Yep, my 14 Pro could only pull 600-700 max, 12 can barely get to 500

Glad they are improving, the 14 was a brick too.

Out of curiousity what plan are you on with EEbb?

Busiest Home - it’s supposed to be 1.6Gbps down but I connect at around 2.0 to 1.8Gbps (upload is trash though 120Mbps)

Likely something to do with your router as Wi-Fi 6E shifts a lot of responsibility for roaming decisions onto the AP instead of leaving clients to make uncoordinated roaming or band-switching decisions.

My iPhone 15 Pro has absolutely no problem connecting and remaining connected to my UniFi 6GHz network even in different rooms of the house.

My iPhone 15 Pro has absolutely no problem connecting and remaining connected to my UniFi 6GHz network even in different rooms of the house.

I’ve been through a ‘few’ routers in the last 18 months a couple of them WiFi 7.

Velop MX10600 Tri-Band
Hydra Pro 6E
Velop Pro WiFi 6E
Google Wifi Pro - Wi-Fi 6E
NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi System (RBK853)
TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro AXE5400
TP-Link BE9300 Tri-Band 3-pack

The constant in all of it is that the iPhone 15 PM attaches to the 2.4Ghz channel and gets stuck on it. Various other work devices are fine and switch up or connect to 5 or 6ghz quickly.

Currently using the Velop Pro 7 Mesh WiFi 7 which aside from randomly dropping out 1-2 times a day seems to be better. The latest firmware fixed an SSL download error which caused larger downloads to fail.

This just by itself is bad, but could be much, much worse if this reddit post is true. Old content being "restored" on a sold device?

But for this to be true, wouldn't the whole encrypted drive thing they breach have to be BS?

Yeah, it's a weird report. Wiping the device should at the very least make the data unreadable as the encryption should change/reset for the new user, unless Apple messed up somewhere.

Unless it's related to iCloud and it "restored" files from the old account to a device ID that was associated with that account? A lot of iCloud content doesn't use end-to-end encryption (eg: photos and videos). That would be a huge problem...

It's also possible this was made up or a mistake from this person.

The other problem seems to be real though. It doesn't affect everyone, but multiple publications reported it and there are threads on reddit and hacker news with people saying some of their old pictures came back.
 
iOS update 17.5.1 has landed today resolving quite the security issues.

This update provides important bug fixes and addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted.
 
WWDC24 kicks off this evening (BST) where we’ll get to see a preview of iOS 18 with a developer beta to follow afterwards.

If the rumours are true and they usually are can’t say I’m expecting more than this…

Finally a native calculator app for iPadOS 🥳

Ai powered Siri?
"I can't do that Hal."

It’s catching up to Android which is good I guess?

Doesn’t seem to be much of the flashy stuff they announced in beta 1 at a guess they’ll happen later. Siri couldn’t get any more useless so any improvements welcome and desperately needed.
 
Apple dropped iOS 18.1 beta, beta will run alongside iOS 18 beta and was expected based on online rumors.

It brings Apple Intelligence if you’re in the US after some time on a wait-list.
