I have an iPhone 7. From what I can tell, there’s not much benefit for those with 6s and 7 iPhones. I am used to waiting until November or December to upgrade so major problems are fixed. Others can have the grief, particularly when I am not getting big changes with an older device. Kelly On

Re: What are the pros and cons of a previous iPhone to new iPhone wireless data transfer setup versus setting up a new iPhone from an iCloud backup of the previous iPhone?

2021-09-26 Thread Kelly Pierce
In the past, the downside of restoring data through iCloud was that iCloud did not back up music. A wireless or computer backup was the only way to move everything from one iPhone to another. Now in iOS 15, Apple has created three weeks of extra iCloud storage for moving all data from one iPhone

I would definitely have them turn off automatic updates until before iOS 15 is installed in a few weeks. Folks do not understand that Apple needs to release the new iOS before it sells the new phones, whether or not the software is fully ready. No, the company will not sit on millions of iPhones

I do not answer third party questions. These sighted individuals should listen to Rob at today in iOS. He does not recommend anyone update iOS for at least one week, preferably two on all major iOS releases to ensure any undiscovered bugs can surface and solutions found for them. For additional

Every year, Apple continues to develop a new version of touch ID. The rumor mill says the company actually created a prototype of the iPhone 13 with touch ID. Somehow, the new touch ID does not meet Apple’s standards and the team continues to develop the technology. I am not holding my breath over

the rumor for the end of the Mini is extremely strong. Apple confirms almost nothing. Apple is planning a big upgrade to the camera system for the 14, increasing to 48 megapixels from the current 12. They do not want to put resources trying to figure out how to cram this into a phone that is just
