It sounds like you might be missing the point of this trick?

I understand what you are saying though. It’s important to always focus your gaze on the lens of the camera so that in the photo that gets taken, it looks like you are gazing directly towards the audience.

If I want to get the photo from directly in front of my face, the phone would be blocking the view in the mirror

I sometimes take mirror selfies of myself to track my own personal fitness progress. No one sees them but me and maybe some close family members.

This trick never popped into my head until today though!

Yes, you have the right idea, except you wouldn’t actually be looking at the camera lens in the mirror in this case. Instead, you just look at the camera lens that you are holding in front of yourself.

The mirror is only used to line up the shot at the beginning and to make sure your finger is over the camera button.

I’m someone who loves good tech, regardless of where it comes from. I own and regularly switch between Mac, PC, and Linux computers. I have owned both Android and Apple phones, sometimes even using both at the same time.

Over the years, as I have purchased and tried out whatever the latest and greatest headphones were available, I have accumulated over 20 pairs and easily $3000-$5000 worth of various headphones/headsets/earbuds. Bose, Audiotechnica, Sennheiser, Logitech, Astro, Apple, etc…

I love gadgets and electronics. In fact, one of my alt Reddit accounts was actually an admin/mod on /r/gadgets for quite some time.

My problem is that I have very small ear canals, and all of the earbuds that rely on ear canal pressure to stay in (the vast majority of earbuds on the market) are painful and uncomfortable for me.

The thing I dislike the most about Apple AirPods is the fact that their batteries are not replaceable. I really wish they would put the batteries in the stems and then make the stems so they could be screwed on or off to easily swap out the batteries. That would be awesome.

They aren’t superior. The Sony earbuds are big and bulky and are not comfortable in my ears AT ALL.

Apple AirPods are the ONLY earbuds on the market that fit my ears comfortably, AND stay in, and sound good.

Edit: I’m ignoring all the Apple AirPod knock-offs, because they don’t count.
