Will Apple do anything about paint peeling away on the sides of an iPhone XS Max? It seems to be a reasonably prevalent problem but unsure if they'd actually do anything about it.
You should have 2 accidental damage exchanges with Apple care for a small fee. Just smash the phone and take it in. I think you won't have to even smash it. Just say you dropped it and it scratched the screen. In the end, im sure staff are not stupid and know what people are doing before the end of a care plan. Just take advantage of if. I would just smash it so you are guaranteed an exchange for a refurb that's looks like new. If you take it with the scratches only, they might just replace the screen and you are left with the same frame and battery.does anyone have experience with a screen replacement via applecare?
my iphone x is quite heavily scratched on the front panel which i don't think is covered by applecare+, but my applecare+ runs out at the start of december and i haven't made any claims. i would like to get the screen replaced because it will increase the resale value of the phone now that i've moved on.
do i need to smash the screen and take it to an apple store to get it replaced or will they replace it just due to the scratches?
thanks. i'll feel quite bad doing that but it sounds sensible. 😅You should have 2 accidental damage exchanges with Apple care for a small fee. Just smash the phone and take it in.

Just double check because I think the fee is smaller changing a phone with screen damage, compared to other damage.thanks. i'll feel quite bad doing that but it sounds sensible. 😅

does it need to be a traditional computer? for the things you listed an ipad pro with keyboard case would probably be fine. it might last a bit longer too.I need a new computer and want to keep the cost as low as possible, which would be me getting the new MB Air base model. Just not sure if it will last me years of casual usage (web browsing, photo/video viewing, text editing) and I don't really want to spend extra to get the Pro. What should I do, all you wonderful people?

I need a computer and an iPad, which will probably be the new Air or the 2019 model with A10 processor. The thing is I don't need a MBP (had the 2015 model) as long as all my pretty basic needs will work fast and without problems in 5+ years of usage. Just a little scared that the MB Air will struggle with them after couple of years.👏 thanks!

ah ok. as the above person said, i'm just not sure that buying a dual core machine is a good investment atm, especially with that price, if longevity is what you're after.I need a computer and an iPad, which will probably be the new Air or the 2019 model with A10 processor.

I'd say always get at least 16.
if they're not doing anything other than browsing, watching media etc 8 is definitely fine.
Fixed that for ya ;)
Has anyone else been able to get the "reply without confirmation" to work on iOS 13.2?
I'm using my powerbeats pro. When i get a message, siri reads it to me, and then if i speak, whatever I was listening too stops playing, but then a message never sends. What am I missing with this?
You can just operate your AirPods or other Apple wireless headphones with your Apple Watch if you've got one.
I figured this out. You have to say reply, then your message. Siri will then send it without confirmation, but you can't just say your reply without saying "reply" first.

Same here. The only way I figured it out is Siri actually activated with a message saying "did you know you can reply by just saying reply?"
Mine took a couple of days and a few restarts for it to load all of my album artwork. It got there eventually though.Finally sat down to do some work tonight and launched Music for the first time since Catalina's launch.
A whole bunch of artwork is missing. Like a third of it. How frustrating. It's there if you click "Get Info" but otherwise doesn't appear in the library.
Man I miss iTunes.

What are impresiona of Apple TV 4K?
Looking for a streaming box for Hulu TV among other things. The ability to pair AirPods with it for when my wife goes to sleep is pretty appealing.
Overkill for a streaming box but that's a good thing. It's fast and works well.What are impresiona of Apple TV 4K?

like, hardly ever?I have a silly question for those without a screen protector - how often do you guys clean/wipe your iPhone's screen? Everyday, as soon as smudges appear, once a week?
Wish I could do that. My OCD makes me clean the screen every other day ;) Hate smudges.
Hmmm - when the screen is on, you don't really see them though. And with raise-to-wake, as soon as you pick up your device, the screen does turn on. So those moments where you'd notice some smudges should be super rare.Wish I could do that. My OCD makes me clean the screen every other day ;) Hate smudges.
The thought of them being on the screen is enough to start irritating me. Guess it's just me ;)Hmmm - when the screen is on, you don't really see them though.

I hated the Apple TV remote. Just so awkward to use compared to your standard dpad. Also too thin and kept getting lost.
What most people don't realize (because it's not communicated ... at all) is the fact that you can use it like a dpad - like, you don't need to swipe and all that, you can just click(or tap?) the sides of the touch area to navigate the UI
