Which ipad do you recommend for someone that has never owned one before? Just for surfing the web, Youtube, and Twitch. Just grab the latest model?

"Update on supply of iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max"
https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/11/update-on-supply-of-iphone-14-pro-and-iphone-14-pro-max/

"COVID-19 restrictions have temporarily impacted the primary iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly facility located in Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain.
We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products.
We are working closely with our supplier to return to normal production levels while ensuring the health and safety of every worker."

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Folks need some help.

Whenever I click on an embedded YouTube video on the forum with my iPad it won’t play anymore.

If I click on the view this on YouTube it’ll open the app.

I don’t know if this is a forum issue or an iPad issue? Anyone else having issues at all?

iPad Pro. 3rd Gen.

Thanks.

Well, the newest Air is $599 with a pretty lame 64 GB storage. A 256 GB model is $749.

The new Pro model is $799 with 128 GB. I think I would go Pro at that point.

Does it seem like my battery is draining too fast? iPhone 12 Pro with 89% health, had it since launch day:

Lately it seems like my phone gets hotter than normal and the battery drains faster than normal too. I'm guessing it's a bug with the latest version of ios? If I close all background apps and then charge my phone to 100%, then unplug it and go to bed, it will be down to like 80% when I wake up in the morning.

To go from full at noon and be that low by 3pm is very weird unless you're playing games. I have a 12 since launch, my max battery is at 90% so not far from you. I barely touch my phone over the weekend so it's a bit skewed but here's my battery curve with minimal usage:

Thinking of getting the watch 8. Maybe midnight black but it's difficult to choose the size and type....
I have a huge 220mm (8.66142 eagle inches), soo.... most bands end up either at 210 or 220mm so it would barely fit.
I found that fabric sport loop midnight has and XL size up to 245mm, so that would fit.
And the normal clip sport band in mdnight also goes up to 245mm. Sadly only these two bands are offered in XL size.

What about loop and braided loop? Size 12 is still too small but I see that they stretch a lot ? Maybe that's ok?

I want the solo loop but won’t get one until I can actually make it to an Apple Store to try for myself. I’ve read that they do stretch so it might be best to get one that is slightly tight.

yeah I should probably go too.
I just noticed that Braided is twice the price of solo loop here.. oh jeez.... Not suer about that. But solo loop looks like a sweaty one.
I should probably just go for the 245mm fabric sport loop if I decide on anything

Thought I had my phone set to manual update, but it updated overnight the other night. It's asking me to agree to billions and billions of microscopic letters, or I can't use iCloud. Am I good to go?

Is it normal with this new update that when you try to edit the text of an alarm that the text only shows to a certain extent to the right, and that's it -- you can't edit beyond that, though there is more text?

Don't mind so much the stuff they added (which I don't think I will make use of), but I'm literally having to make two tries each time I try to open my phone. It just isn't recognizing my thumb, I guess. It'll light up the screen, but after that nothing, not even a denial with a request for my passcode thingy. And like I mentioned before, the alarm is all borked. Siri talks like a robot at times -- like something from the 50s or 60s. Seems like a bit of a hairy mess. It's bad enough they put this update out there, but to find my phone already updated one morning after I explicitly turned off auto-updates shortly after buying the phone about a year ago. I just don't get it.

Try redoing/adding another print. You can get pretty extreme with the sides of your thumb if needed. I set up a couple of profiles for my thumb & index finger back when I had touch id.

Set up Touch ID on iPhone

Use Touch ID to unlock iPhone, authorize purchases and payments, and sign in to many third-party apps.

So, stupid, out-of-touch me didn't know there was such a thing as an "NFC" built into phones. I have an iPhone SE, not sure how to identify what generation it is (got them last year), and when I checked under Control Center/More Controls, there's no NFC option listed (that I can see, anyway).

Long story short, I wanna disable this fucking thing, stat! Can I? If so, how?

You can’t.

If you remove all cards from Apple Pay it’ll stop appearing to prompt you to chose and use a card.
