I always thought it was lame that they didn't just come out and say "pink."
There's nothing wrong with a pink phone. Calling it something else implies there is.

Well, I'm mainly thinking about updates that patch known vulnerabilities. Android phones kinda leave you hanging in the wind for a while after the first year. Indefinitely, after 2 or 3 years. The iPhone 6s was supported for seven years.
But no, they don't reinvent the wheel with each update. Why would they? My wife just got a Galaxy S22 and it got the Android 13 update her S10 didn't. It's the same thing. Granted, Android has a lot more customization, but Samsung's Android 13 update certainly fit the bill of "hardly does anything for the user interface" that you're trying to paint iPhone updates with.

Reply to Weird iOS bug by Paranomac
Imagine thinking people will judge you for your carrier. What are you on, US Cellular? It doesn't matter, my dude. No one cares.
Rotation bug with the status bar. Been around for a few major versions (it was in iOS 15, maybe 14 as well). Usually harmless. Though, I usually see it go down the right side.

Reply to comment by doug_thehead in Best VPN for iPhone by Otherwise_Anteater
Most routers can't use VPNs, though some custom routers can. Most VPN users are using them on each device.
Smartphones and computers make it easier than a router to see if the VPN is connected or not.

2016, 2020, 2022. The SE has never been yearly. 2022 is just a 2020 refresh with 5G; an SE 2.5 if you will. Each SE should be a different design. Maybe the 2028 SE will feature the Dynamic Island while the Pro iPhone is all screen.

“Apparently,” nothing. I installed 16.2 last night (Public beta) and it was included on my second page of apps. Odd because the first page was not filled. Either way, I have it and it works. I’m really not sure what I’ll use it for, though.

/r/MarvisApp. Pro mode for Apple Music. Customize metadata in lists (playlist, album list) and mini player/full screen player; also, smart rules to whittle down lists. So basically what you do is, you make a section for all the songs in your library (boring) and then you use rules to make a smart playlist that changes dynamically.
$8 USD, one time fee (also has a $5 Last.fm add-on, but I don't need/use it).

Just like Chevy and Ford with gear heads. It doesn’t really matter to most people what you use, but there will be jokes from insecure people who use something else.
