I’m guessing the earliest they’ll bring over Face ID is when they redesign the Pros. Luckily I don’t notice the notch much after using it. It disappears for me just like it did on iPhones.

Touch ID on MacBooks does make sense because of the built-in keyboard. The current way Apple implements Face ID still requires an additional user action. When you unlock your iPhone with Face ID you still need to swipe up to enter the Home Screen.

If Apple brings Face ID to MacBooks I’m guessing they’ll implement something similar like a swipe up on the trackpad or key press.

I don’t think they do the auto-login like Windows Hello.

How different is the 5x optical zoom on the 15 PM vs whatever the 15 Pro has?

I’m considering the 15 Pro so I can pass down my XS to my mom. The one thing that sucks about the XS is the inability to take low light night photos. I can’t take pictures of the moon or night sky. Zoomed phots look pretty bad too.

How much better are the 15 Pro cameras in low light? How do the cameras on the Pro vs PM compare? I don’t understand all the jargon with camera lenses and lengths.

I’m considering upgrading my XS to a 15 Pro so I can pass it down to my mom. It’ll be a nice upgrade from the 7 she has. I already know I’ll miss 3D Touch for typing and editing text.

Do you notice the better cameras or battery life? What about the 120hz display? There’s been so many times I wished my XS could take low light night photos or just better zoomed photos in general. Taking a nice photo of the moon or night sky is impossible.

There hasn’t been a drastic change in iPhones since the intro of Face ID. The UI has been the same forever.

In the US there’s definitely a distinctive standardized cardboard box Apple ships their devices in. There’s usually a perforated tear away cardboard tab to open the envelope style box.

Also in the US it’s required to put a combustible battery warning label on the box. It’s pretty obvious there’s some sort of electronic device inside.

Huh I wonder why a scammer would replace it with a real sealed iPhone 14 Pro Max vs a cheap copy like in OP’s case. Your phone wasn’t blacklisted or anything right?

I wonder if in your case it was an honest mistake made at the Apple warehouse depot level vs an actual scam. I believe all of these packages and devices are serialized so mistakes like these shouldn’t happen.

So in their investigation Apple basically thought you were trying to scam them by trying to swap for a newer model?

I’m curious to see how Apple handles the situation.

In the tracking info, was it shipped from their warehouse overseas in China/India or from somewhere closer? I remember the iPhone 12 I bought came directly from China.

I’m guessing it had to have been switched at the delivery level, maybe at the shipping warehouse or by a courier. The cardboard boxes Apple uses to ship their products are pretty standardized and obvious to people who’ve seen them before.

What did Apple say? Did Apple have you bring the fake phone to the Apple Store or ship it back to them for investigation? Did they give you a time frame on when they’ll get back to you?

Yeah I wondered how well a game like this could perform in devices as small as an iPhone.

Has anyone played the Mac version? How did you like it? Does it play well with a DualSense controller? Recommended or no?

I have a base 2021 MBP 14” and was wondering how well it runs. I see it’s on sale for $16 on the App Store right now.

Apple has historically been so incredibly cheap with storage and memory.

The 1st generation 2012 Retina MacBook Pro started at 8GB RAM. 11 years later they still ship a $1600 USD MacBook Pro with 8GB.

From 2017-2019 the $1000 USD iPhone X to 11 Pro had a measly 64GB of storage.

Even more disgraceful was Apple selling a 21.5” iMac with a 5400RPM spinning hard disk drive… in early 2020.

The only thing that seems to get Apple to change their stubborn slow moving ways is a combo of bad media press, class-action lawsuits that worked with their butterfly keyboards and low sales.
