Clubul iPhone & iOS

Nici dupa update la iOS 17.1.1 nu au rezolvat problema asta. Tot ce fac cu aceste updates e sa repare probleme pentru iPhone 15 si nu le pasa de ceilalti utilizatori

Unora le merge daca au in home screen tot poza din lock screen, dar la mine nu e cazul.

[MonkY]

@razvanrazy: incearca man sa intri in contact cu cineva de la Apple Support.

[razvanrazy]

Nah, asta nu e problema de intrat cu ei pe support (chat sau telefon) doar ca sa spuna sa dau restart (care nu rezolva) sau sa aleg altceva (ceea ce am facut).
Astea sunt chestii de postat pe diverse forumuri ca sa intre in atentia lor si sa incerce sa rezolve cu update de software.

Oricum nici nu au sectiune pentru general iOS problems sau ceva pt wallpaper sau settings.
Dar am intrat oricum si astept sa vad ce zice - revin cu info

LE: m-au pus sa dau reset la home screen (refuzat, desigur, pentru ca nu am timp sa stau sa rearanjez toate aplicatiile in foldere si widgets si tot ce am pe home screen) iar apoi reset la all settings (Settings > General >Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset then tap reset all settings) - (refuzat si asta, desigur, pentru ca doar adaugarea cardurilor pt Apple Pay a durat o vesnicie, nu mai zic de restul setarile pe care le-as pierde) si a zis ca intelege ca e frustrant pt mine, mai ales pt ca a aparut dupa un update de iOS dar nu au ce sa faca mai mult

Deci exact cum banuiam - o pierdere de vreme pentru ceva ce efectiv nu merge, iar solutia gasita de mine este mult mai usoara decat orice alta interactivitate cu oricine.
Absolut penibil pentru ei sa strice ceva ce merge, cu un update de iOS pentru un dispozitiv recent, dar nu numai.

Pentru a se conforma DMA, Apple vine cu niste schimbari in EU din martie:

Changes to iOS
- New options for distributing iOS apps from alternative app marketplaces — including new APIs and tools that enable developers to offer their iOS apps for download from alternative app marketplaces.
- New framework and APIs for creating alternative app marketplaces — enabling marketplace developers to install apps and manage updates on behalf of other developers from their dedicated marketplace app.
- New frameworks and APIs for alternative browser engines — enabling developers to use browser engines, other than WebKit, for browser apps and apps with in-app browsing experiences.
- Interoperability request form — where developers can submit additional requests for interoperability with iPhone and iOS hardware and software features.
- Notarization for iOS apps — a baseline review that applies to all apps, regardless of their distribution channel, focused on platform integrity and protecting users. Notarization involves a combination of automated checks and human review.
- App installation sheets — that use information from the Notarization process to provide at-a-glance descriptions of apps and their functionality before download, including the developer, screenshots, and other essential information.
- Authorization for marketplace developers — to ensure marketplace developers commit to ongoing requirements that help protect users and developers.
- Additional malware protections — that prevent iOS apps from launching if they’re found to contain malware after being installed to a user’s device.

Changes to Safari
Today, iOS users already have the ability to set a third-party web browser — other than Safari — as their default. Reflecting the DMA’s requirements, Apple is also introducing a new choice screen that will surface when users first open Safari in iOS 17.4 or later. That screen will prompt EU users to choose a default browser from a list of options.

This change is a result of the DMA’s requirements, and means that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them. The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage.

Changes to the App Store
- New options for using payment service providers (PSPs) — within a developer’s app to process payments for digital goods and services.
- New options for processing payments via link-out — where users can complete a transaction for digital goods and services on the developer’s external website. Developers can also inform EU users of promotions, discounts, and other deals available outside of their apps.
Business planning tools — for developers to estimate fees and understand metrics associated with Apple’s new business terms for apps in the EU.
- App Store product page labels — that inform users when an app they’re downloading uses alternative payment processing.
- In-app disclosure sheets — that let users know when they are no longer transacting with Apple, and when a developer is directing them to transact using an alternative payment processor.
- New App Review processes — to verify that developers accurately communicate information about transactions that use alternative payment processors.
- Expanded data portability on Apple’s Data & Privacy site — where EU users can retrieve new data about their usage of the App Store and export it to an authorized third party.

New Business Terms for Apps in the EU
- Reduced commission — iOS apps on the App Store will pay a reduced commission of either 10 percent (for the vast majority of developers, and subscriptions following their first year) or 17 percent on transactions for digital goods and services.
- Payment processing fee — iOS apps on the App Store can use the App Store’s payment processing for an additional 3 percent fee. Developers can use a payment service provider within their app or link users to their website to process payments for no additional fee to Apple.
- Core Technology Fee — iOS apps distributed from the App Store and/or an alternative app marketplace will pay €0.50 for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold.

Schimbari majore la Apple:

• Apple is bringing sideloading and alternate app stores to the iPhone.
• Apple opens App Store to game streaming services.
• Apple is finally allowing full versions of Chrome and Firefox to run on the iPhone.

Si ceva explicatii despre sideloading: Ce este sideloading și cum va fi implementat în iOS 17.4?

Tbh, eu credeam ca nu se va mai aplica limita aceea de maxim 3 aplicatii .ipa pe care le puteai avea cu cont de developer.

[paul]

S-a rezolvat și cu sideloadingul, să ne vedem de treabă acum.

Stai ca inca nu s-a pronuntat Comisia. De-abia a anuntat Apple propunerea lor.

Pozitia Epic & co.:

“Apple clearly has no intention to comply with the DMA. Apple is introducing new fees on direct downloads and payments they do nothing to process, which violates the law. This plan does not achieve the DMA’s goal to increase competition and fairness in the digital market – it is not fair, reasonable, nor non-discriminatory,” said Rick VanMeter, Executive Director of the Coalition for App Fairness.

“Apple’s proposal forces developers to choose between two anticompetitive and illegal options. Either stick with the terrible status quo or opt into a new convoluted set of terms that are bad for developers and consumers alike. This is yet another attempt to circumvent regulation, the likes of which we’ve seen in the United States, the Netherlands and South Korea. Apple’s ‘plan’ is a shameless insult to the European Commission and the millions of European consumers they represent – it must not stand and should be rejected by the Commission.”

CAF Statement on Apple’s DMA Non-Compliance Plan

[razvanrazy]

Pai da, Apple cere o taxa pe nimic, iar daca se merge mai departe cu asta, prost o sa fie ala care o plateste.

Faza e ca Apple nu au cum sa stie ce cumpara userii pe site-uri, prin 3rd party payment processors si deci ii forteaza pe aia sa le trimita extrasele de cont si sa caute ei tranzactii.

In prezent fix pe asta mizeaza Apple, ca sunt prea mari si nu isi permite nimeni sa suporte cheltuieli de judecata si de imagine ca sa ii cheme in instanta.

Iar dpdv developer e prea mare bataia de cap, timp si cheltuieli inutile, ca sa caute un alt procesator pentru doar 3% "discount" la Apple, dar probabil ceva asemanator platesc la procesatorul de plati, si sa iti mai dai si tot extrasul de cont al firmei catre altii - asta e cam inacceptabil pt orice companie.

Today Apple announced an upcoming enhancement to existing repair processes that will enable customers and independent repair providers to utilize used Apple parts in repairs.

Beginning with select iPhone models this fall, the new process is designed to maintain an iPhone user’s privacy, security, and safety, while offering consumers more options, increasing product longevity, and minimizing the environmental impact of a repair.

Used genuine Apple parts will now benefit from the full functionality and security afforded by the original factory calibration, just like new genuine Apple parts.

Apple to expand repair options with support for used genuine parts - Apple

iOS 18:

The release introduces all-new customization options, the biggest-ever redesign of Photos, powerful updates for staying connected, and Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system

iOS 18 makes iPhone more personal, capable, and intelligent than ever - Apple

AirPods Pro update:

This fall, AirPods software updates will transform the way users respond to Siri, take calls with friends and loved ones, and immerse themselves in their favorite games. Delivering a seamless, hands-free experience, Siri Interactions allow AirPods Pro users to privately respond to Siri with a simple head nod yes or shake no. For even clearer call quality, Voice Isolation comes to AirPods Pro, helping ensure the caller’s voice is heard in loud or windy environments. AirPods updates also significantly reduce audio latency while gaming, and add Personalized Spatial Audio for even more immersive gameplay.

Guys, stiti vreo aplicatie care sa ofere live activities in lock screen + dynamic island de la EURO 2024?
Am incercat aplicatia oficiala de la UEFA dar ori nu au, ori nu gasesc eu optiunea sa o activez.

Anul trecut am avut o aplicatie, dar nu mai stiu daca asta oficiala sau alta si vedeam in timp real ca live activities orice meci imi selectam eu

LE: am gasit-o - FotMob se numeste. O aplicatie simpla - apasati pe steluta si aveti live scrore atat in lock screen, cat si la insulita

[paul]

Daca dati Follow Romaniei, da steluta (cu Live Activities enabled) la toate meciurile Romaniei.

Daca dati Follow la EURO, apasati pe clopotel si puteti alege pentru toate meciurile campionatului aceleasi setari.

Vreau sa cumpăr iPhone 16 Pro și îmi amintesc că anul trecut au fost întârzieri la comenzi/livrări pentru 15.

Nu știu dacă îmi amintesc bine, însă în general trebuie sa dai comandă imediat după ce este anunțat sau nu e bătaie atât de mare precum a fost la PS5?

[razvanrazy]

Cam asa ceva, da. Eu la 14 Pro am dat comanda la eMag la cateva minute dupa ce a fost disponibil si mi-a venit telefonul acasa, day 1.

Din experientele mele de pana acum, the faster you pre-order = the faster you get. Vorbesc de distribuitorii autorizati mari.
Also, anul acesta Apple am inteles ca are planuri mari de vanzari, prin urmare cred ca stiu ei ceva si vor fi cereri pe masura asteptarilor...

Un alt hint: In prima runda de livrari, mare grija la culorile "speciale" si la variantele cele mai vandute. De exp. ai mai mari sanse sa primesti varianta clasica, black, decat varianta speciala, verde, albastru or whatever. Iar la "variantele cele mai vandute", ma refer la cele care sunt considerate "best buy". In Romania, as spune ca acestea ar fi variantele cu 256GB storage. Sa ma explic: probabil daca vei lua varianta de 1TB, te vei "aseza la o coada" cu vreo 200 de nebuni ca tine. In varianta cu 512GB, vreo 2.000 de doritori. In varianta cu 256GB, vreo 10.000 or more...

[JohnnyUSA]

Si ceva extra: baga precomanda la Altex.

Din experienta personala a ultimilor 3 ani, pentru mine, Emag, a fost o dezamagire totala. Intarzieri foarte mari in onorarea precomenzilor la Iphone datorate in principal nerespectarii ordinii pe listele "de precomenzi"(cel putin asta este concluzia, raportandu-ma la ceea ce spun oamenii pe online), sau precomenzi acceptate peste stocul alocat.. samd.

Dezamagitor la 16 pro. Asta e anul in care fac jumpul de la 11 pro-ul meu si speram sa pluseze ca lumea pe camera, ultimul samsung galaxy e mindblowingly good, mai ales zoom-ul ala imens, m-am jucat un pic cu el vara asta de la un prieten si imi ziceam in gand "lasa ca scot astia ceva misto pe 16" dar de unde... Asta e, o sa scoata pe 17 si o sa ma oftic

[MonkY]

Ca in fiecare an, mi-am facut frumos lista de upgrade. De ce trec eu de la 15 Pro Max la 16 Pro Max? Uite d-aia:

Daca vrei doar pentru zoom, mergi pe Samsung, ca altceva nu au

Lasand glum deoparte, ia-ti un 16 Pro pentru tot restu si un Samsung de ultima generatie, la cateva luni de la lansare - astea scad ca jocurile Ubisoft si-l iei cu banii de seminte

Revenind putin la iPhone 16 - care e faza cu sticla aia? Chiar au zis ca e de 2x mai durabil decat "toti restu" care stim ca folosesc gorilla glass, cand de fapt ecranele astea se zgarie in ultimu hal de la orice mizerie din buzunar si se sparg la fel de usor la socuri mecanice?
Urmaresc anual toate testele de tip "drop test" si stim foarte bine ca toate se sparg la fel.

[eagle-eye]

Au zis ca e de 2x mai durabil decat first version, naiba stie ce inseamna asta
