People reply with this anytime this topic comes up but it was never an issue for me. They left the remote sitting right where they used it which is on the couch or 6 inches in front of the tv.

Why would you use your remote which can only control the volume instead of using your phone that can control the volume and the music? If you are using the remote, you have to be in the room with the TV to see the screen.

I usually start thinking about replacing the battery or the phone at the 3 year mark. You could easily replace the battery for $100 and get 2 more years out of it. I kept my last phone for 4 1/2 years.

Where did it go that it took 20 minutes to find it? If mine is not immediately visible on my couch or on the table next to the couch, then it fell in the couch cushions. I know this because I only use it the couch. Why would I remove it from the room where the TV is?

No, 6 iPhones over the past 15 years with no case and no apple care.

Insurance for a relatively inexpensive repair is not worthwhile for me, especially knowing there is a virtually 0% chance I will ever use it. It's not like I'm insuring a $40,000 car or a $300,000 house.

It’s a great idea but incredibly unreliable and frustrating. I had to turn it off.

Why did you miss the appointments? They are displayed in the calendar. You can have them displayed in a Home Screen widget. You get the same sound, banner, badge, Lock Screen, and Notification Center notifications in all iOS apps.

  • Marvis Pro in addition to Music
  • Fantastical in addition to Calendar & Reminders
  • MultiTimer instead of the timer function in the Clock app
  • Google Maps in addition to Maps

Most of Apple’s apps are lacking advanced tools and features. I have to look for those things somewhere else.

If I was a heavy or even moderate email user, I would be using something other than the Mail app. It handles attachments worse than any other app I have ever seen. It’s a disgrace that it can’t return to the inbox after deleting a message. The only reason I use it is because I can’t scroll the full length of an email from the lock screen notification banner without opening the app. No other mail app can do that. I delete 80% of my mail from the lock screen.

Other companies are not relevant. I own an Apple product, not a Google or a Samsung or a Dell product. I expect my hardware and software to work in a certain way. My expectations are based on the product I own, not products that someone else sells.

I went from an SE to a much bigger and much heavier XR. That took maybe a week to adjust. I went from an XR to a slightly smaller and noticeably lighter 12 Pro. That took about a day to adjust.

It didn’t break or crack, and it still works fine? Sounds tough enough to me.
