For those of you who have, or had, the mini 4 as a replacement for the mini 3, did you find the 4 to be slower? I heard from one person who says his 4 was definitely slower than the 3 he used to have. I wish to have this confirmed. I am looking into the iPad mini 5 which I believe is

I feel toggling the side or home button is simplest, but whatever works for you is best for you. - Brad - > On Jan 29, 2020, at 11:43, 'Harry Bell' via MacVisionaries > wrote: >  I’ve just discovered that if you turn on voice control (and make sure you are using EarPods or headphones if

I’ve just discovered that if you turn on voice control (and make sure you are using EarPods or headphones if using voiceover), you can instruct your iPhone to turn classic or smart invert colours on or off. Just a thought? Harry > On 29 Jan 2020, at 17:01, Brad Snyder wrote: > > Actually,

Actually, the current situation under 13.3.1 is better than with the previous iteration. While iOS 13.3 fixed some things, it made some things like Safari worse, and toggling Smart Invert did nothing to help. At least with 13.3.1, toggling Smart Invert has returned as an option in most cases.

Hi, Thanks for the clarification Brad. Yeah, I much preferred dark screen with lighter letters way back in the early 90's when I could actually see enough to read a screen. Sounds frustrating indeed. I checked and there doesn't even seem to be an option under the gesture commands to specify

I have tried turning Dark Mode off, and just using Smart Invert like in iOS 12, but once I turn on Smart Invert, Dark Mode is turned on and stays on. I have tried going with only Dark Mode, but there are too many issues for this to be workable for me. For now, I will just keep toggling the

You have put the issues so well, Brad! I have reported this to Apple yet again... Pages documents need Classic invert colours, many emails need Dark mode to get the body of the email to appear as white text on dark background. And with Smart invert on, try going into the App Store, find a new

The issue is so inconsistent across the environment, that I don’t see how this could work. For now, at least I am able to use the side button to toggle Smart Invert on/off as needed. - Brad - On Jan 29, 2020, at 09:07, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries wrote: Hi, I'm not familiar with

The issues continue with the latest 13.3.1 update. Somethings are better than with the last update, like I am able to view Safari web pages with light text on a black background again, but the experience is inconsistent across different non-stock apps. The good news is that at least toggling

Hi Anders, No, the work-out doesn't stop at the end of the specified time. Your watch will just ding--and vibrate, and that's how you'll know you hit the 7 minutes. I think that's how most people want it. For example, I set my elliptical time for 30 minutes. That's the minimum amount of time I
