Fragile 5.1/Atmos anytime now...
Bite me
My husband got me the blue iPhone 12 Pro Max last night, I traded in my 7 Plus (they gave us $130). I spent all night messing around with this phone.
I love it.

Got my son the 12 mini because he said he didn't like the size of my XR and preferred his 1st gen classic size. He loves it, especially since the battery actually lasts for longer than a couple hours.

That's interesting, I've never heard of this before. Is it only for the AirPods?
RA-MEN ROPPAI
Airpods (Regular, Pro, Max) and the Beats3 line. It should also work on the speakers for an XR or later, and on the speakers for 6th gen iPads (3rd gen on the larger sizes).Originally Posted by ickyvicky

I don't see how it would work on built-in speakers since it's, you know, spatial, and those are pretty much direct-fire from the source.About spatial audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music
If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can listen to select songs in spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. Get a multidimensional experience that goes beyond just listening to music and makes you feel like you’re inside of it. And listen on any headphones, the built-in speakers on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and with Apple TV 4K.
Just read this part, I guess that's what I was experiencing?Supported songs automatically play in Dolby Atmos when you're listening with:
AirPods Pro or AirPods Max with spatial audio turned on. Go to Control Center, touch and hold the volume button, then tap Spatial Audio.
AirPods
BeatsX, Beats Solo3 Wireless, Beats Studio3, Powerbeats3 Wireless, Beats Flex, Powerbeats Pro, or Beats Solo Pro
It was an album that was released as a visual album/movie with Atmos so that makes sense.Is spatial audio with dynamic head tracking available for music?
We are excited to announce that spatial audio with dynamic head tracking is coming to Apple Music in the fall. Dynamic head tracking creates an even more immersive experience for spatial audio. It brings music to life by delivering sound that dynamically adjusts as you turn your head. And you can experience spatial audio with dynamic head tracking on AirPods Pro and AirPods Max with a compatible iPhone or iPad.

Just tickles my balls!
Is anyone else having trouble with the pinch/zooming in/out part of their iPhone since installing iOS 15 in Safari? Ever since the update (on my iPhone X), sometimes it will zoom and other times it won’t. I did change the setting so that the search bar is back at the too rather than the bottom, but I doubt that’s causing it.
Hopefully they fix it with a patch later on. Hope I’m not the only one experiencing this? Annoying as hell.
@allegate - that’s good to hear re: battery life. My iPhone X battery needs a replacement badly. It’s down to halfway after a few hours. Especially if I’ll be relying on my phone a lot more to give COVID shot proof and whatnot.

Answering my own question about the zoom issue, but, yes, it appears it’s an iOS 15 bug:

Switching to an iPhone after refusing for such a long time. It's mainly for iMessage and the ease of use since I don't need all of the customization of Android anymore...I just want things to work smoothly.
Has anyone switched before, and if so are you happy about it?
Active Member
^ switched earlier this year, I was an Android guy since day 1. after having the iphone 12 mini since about March of this year, I can easily say it's the best phone I've ever had and plan to hold on to it for a few years.
Speaking of minis, I just ordered the new ipad mini. It'll take about a month before it ships, but I can't wait! Looks like the perfect size. Reminds me of the Nexus 7 tablet I had way back in the day. I had a regular sized ipad and thought it was just a tad too big. I don't use it for anything other than casual use.

I switched back in April, and I'm kind of mixed on it.
On the plus side, it runs much more smoothly and doesn't stop or stutter like my Android sometimes did. And I really wanted the apple watch, which only works with apple phones right now.
On the downside, Siri is not as good as Google Assistant. And sometimes when I press the home button to try to switch apps, it does other things instead and I don't really know why or what I'm doing wrong, just that I sometimes have to press that button 4 or 5 times before I can switch to the app I want.

Hey so i've had an iPad now for 3 months and something really is annoying me, there's a widget that's ALWAYS on screen that give you access to shortcuts (home, gestures etc) and i just want it gone but i can't find the option to remove it. You can move it around the screen but as i'm using the iPad to draw i normally end up using all the screen and it just keeps getting in the way. Anyone know how to remove it (i have tried goggling it and i just cannot seem to find what it's called to search correctly)

hi, is there nothing in the “control centre” settings?
i don’t own an ipad, i’m just guessing maybe turn off “access within apps” if you have an option like that? there’s an option like that in iOS.
but as i say, just guessing
wanna share a screenshot of the problem?

It could be assistive touch? Tell Siri to turn off assistive touch.
Or:
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch.

does anyone have firsthand information on AirTags, are they worth the cash?

My husband and I have been marveling over them, as well. They SEEM awesome!

The part I like the most about the Airtags is that they tell on you if you try to use them for nefarious purposes. Granted it only works if the person has an Apple phone but it's still neat.AirTag is designed to discourage unwanted tracking. If someone else’s AirTag finds its way into your stuff, your iPhone will notice it’s traveling with you and send you an alert. After a while, if you still haven’t found it, the AirTag will start playing a sound to let you know it’s there.
Of course, if you happen to be with a friend who has an AirTag, or on a train with a whole bunch of people with AirTag, don’t worry. These alerts are triggered only when an AirTag is separated from its owner.

Why would you have to pay for this? This already doesn't work across systems??

I am also confused by this....I have google home speakers, and if I tell them to play music, they play my spotify music.
And I have an iPhone, if I'm in the car and I call up Siri, I can say "play my driving playlist" and it plays from spotify. Would it not do that if I was using apple music?
i used to be someone else
yup it does

Oh, here it is, this explains it a bit better:
https://www.macrumors.com/2021/10/18...or-4-99-month/
You can only access it with Siri on this plan. It's a discount for dealing with Siri. You don't get to use the app, or a web browser, or anything else to control your music, it's Siri ONLY.

so it's like the Alexa-only music subscription that is only good for the home speaker and isn't portable at all. well, that's not terrible I guess.

Is there a way to make this keyboard on iPhones less bad. I like my phone but this is one area android wins. Maybe it’s the phones actual touch pad whatever which is not the best. It’s the ‘21 SE.
Active Member
You can use other keyboards like GBoard. That's what I use.
