Passkeys gonna be fire. Goodbye password managers, credential stuffing, and phishing attacks! (photo deduplication is nice too btw, been a long time coming)
Indeed, but the lock-in potential of passkeys [1] is concerning. [1] https://www.fastcompany.com/90755838/theres-a-big-problem-wi...
The article does talk about how tools like 1Password could allow for PassKey sharing without vendor lock-in.
Looking forward for PassKey integration. Then the wait for my programs and accounts to integrate and allow for passwordless logins.

You can rearrange apps on their screen, you just can't have gaps between them or move them "freely" in a way that they alwasy snap to an invisible grid...which isn't really something I have thought about ever.
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. When I had a Pixel, I had the option to let the OS transcribe what the potential spammer was saying and end the call. It’s puzzling why Apple isn’t doing more here.
Select "Silence unknown callers" and you're done. Last month I had a flurry of spam texts and calls. I moved the slider to the "enable" side a few weeks ago and have had zero issues since.
1) You have a kid AND 2) You're not currently looking right at that kid
Then you need to pick up calls from random numbers basically every time. Just the way life is.
After all of the iterations of iOS, there is still no way to have only the first new/unread message per SMS/iMessage thread generate a notification--particularly the notification sound or tone. I find the feature would be useful in all situations, but would be especially useful in group threads. I don't need to hear a ding every time someone in a group thread sends a message if I don't have my phone in my hand. One d…
Not the same thing by a long shot, but you can turn on "Hide Alerts" for group chats. My wife has all of her long running group chats set to this to prevent alerts all day when her friends are chatting.

Buy a Twilio number that forwards to your real number. Then whoever has that number can call it, and it will ring you from the known Twilio number. Add to address book and voila!
Do spammers not call Twilio numbers?

It is a extremely hard to maintain differential software features across hardware product lines. What ‘sounds lame’ may translate into significantly added complexity to the maintenance process.
I think with all of their resources, Apple of all companies could dig deep and stretch a little bit to make that happen.

E waste, no no don’t throw it out. You can use 99% of the apps even without ios16. It’s only when individual app developers phase out support for ios15 typically 2-3 years after. Facebook, YouTube etc still supports even iOS 12
Actually, you can download the newer version of an app on a newer iphone and then download a version that works on the old iphone from the Purchased page. Apple makes it difficult but keeping my iPhone 5S is still going years after iOS 12 is no longer "cool"
The A7 is dogshit slow - I have an iPad with the A7 (or maybe it's the A9) and it's unusably slow for even simple things like apps from newspapers and library e-reader apps; you can watch the page assemble. Even waking the iPad with the home button is slow. On my A11-powered phone these apps run smooth as butter.
A 5S supports 11 of the LTE bands versus 24 bands of the 8. That alone is worth the upgrade, for the greater chance of being able to make or receive an important call.
How much time are you wasting on silly work-arounds just to be a retro-tech hipster pretending it's cool to use a completely outdated and inferior-in-every-way piece of hardware for absolutely no reason?

I got used to it (especially when things are settled) but when you are fresh from android it can be annoying that you have to fill the top rows before your can place your fav apps within reach of your thumb. It feels very wrong.
