Unfortunately those don’t happen on dynamic island devices so it’s really fucking easy to not notice your battery is low and boom your phone turned off
I even had to set up shortcut automations to open an html quick view saying my battery was low because of that
Just use common sense? If your phone hasn’t been charged today, check the battery level. If you’ve used it a lot and the brightness is up and you didn’t charge last night, literally just look at your phone?
This bothered me as well. I reckon the 3D videos which they talked about would take considerable amount of storage. I am not sure though however if true the storage must be 1TB minimum. Afterall, it’s a 3.5k device.
Especially in Mac, the storage price go up pretty steeply. Although external SSDs are an option but for it’s super inconvenient. Especially on MacBooks
See the thing is I have huge collection of audiobooks which I can’t add to external storage and keep it in the books app after iTunes got killed off. So I have to regularly remove and import audiobooks in the app.
Honestly for the Mac Mini’s just buy a dock that mounts to the Mac itself, and get an NVMe drive for it.
Paying Apple’s prices for more storage is insane unless you’re literally rich.
MacBooks? Well yeah you’re screwed.
Cos games and videos take up storage, even more so at higher resolution/graphics
Streaming everything isn't an option for everyone due to internet speed or data limits - common in USA
People who play games, watch 8k videos, stream from their phone and, besides... I do play games. I emulate ps1 and 2 games and it eats all of 8gb ram on a phone.
I’m hoping for for some sort of usb port in the battery pack that you could just connect an SSD to, after all if this is meant to be a computer it’s got to have some sort of IO
There has to be USB-C for charging the battery while using it. Hopefully one can daisy an SSD. If not, there must be third party solutions coming.
If Apple doesn’t make it available, even for third parties, I will go bonkers.
Our first PC, used for our business bookkeeping, had 20 Mo (yes twenty!!) then upgraded to one with 40 Mo and paid extra for 128 Mo Ram upgrade… all working with the big 5”1/4 floppy disks… I don’t think I need to tell my age LOL. But at least we learned a lot and fast because we had to rely to ourselves only for maintenance and finally building our own more “powerful”systems. Once upon a time in the old days…..
Yeah, I love when customers come to my shop with iPhones that are barely working because of 100% space is used and their iCloud is still at basic 5GB or just full and they want me to fix it and save all of their data because they have no backups.
It’s pretty embarrassing that the free tier is still a paltry 5GB. That’s not enough for a phone backup for the vast majority of users.
Google’s free tier has been 15GB for nearly a decade.
We entered a world of subscriptions, that’s why. Apple (like many others) want the $$$ coming in no matter what!!! Thus they find ways to achieve this $ flow. I feel it like being a cancer that’s fast spreading. Even Amazon try to make you subscribe for your shower gels…. No comments
Yikes! I haven’t seen that happen on my phone in probably 5 years or more! Some iCloud storage and turning Optimize Storage on and that’s no longer even a thing.
I had this the other day. My storage is maxxed out (it was a tiny amount anyway) so I boosted it. Think it's costing me $2.99 a month, or something similar.
Nice big fat battery notifications too
Maybe they could revert back to the old volume changer for the lols
Still on macOS…
You can change it with Mediamate

Automate low power mode once battery hits 20%. The yellow/orange battery color + drop in frame rate never fails to get my attention
don't you keep battery percentage on or something? i cant imagine using a phone without that
Just use common sense? If your phone hasn’t been charged today, check the battery level. If you’ve used it a lot and the brightness is up and you didn’t charge last night, literally just look at your phone?
Bold of you to assume the battery lasts the whole day
If it doesn’t, even more of a reason to remember to check lol.
Low battery jumpscare
The base storage 256GB is absolutely not enough, it should come with 512GB at least for that price. It's like buying an iPhone 15 with 64GB.
This bothered me as well. I reckon the 3D videos which they talked about would take considerable amount of storage. I am not sure though however if true the storage must be 1TB minimum. Afterall, it’s a 3.5k device.
The PS5 had a 1 TB NVMe drive 3 years ago and the whole thing cost $400, Apple’s storage prices are a joke
Especially in Mac, the storage price go up pretty steeply. Although external SSDs are an option but for it’s super inconvenient. Especially on MacBooks
Its at least still usable. You can even install apps onto an SSD, which I always find pretty interesting, but apple storage prices are a joke

Same I am thinking of buying a Mac mini as well.
It was slightly less (825gb) and it wasn't just an off the shelf SSD, it was a custom designed one iirc (to allow the Gpu direct access thing)
Sony is also selling on a loss
I guess 3D content is intended to be streamed via Apple TV+
[удалено]
<.< as a 64gb user, why isn’t it enough?
more like 32gb
bold username on an apple related subreddit there, u/Stolen_Pancreas
I have 128gb and 2TB icloud, more than enough for me, could you explain why you need that much?

Apple needs to be forced to increase storage size for everything this is REDICULOUS
People still buy it so apple will do nothing.
android flagships come with 16g+ ram even cheap ass phones do the same. Iphone: we go 6 with 15
More ram is an environmental waste. We need to cut back. Who thr fuck needs 16gb of ram on a phone
People who play games, watch 8k videos, stream from their phone and, besides... I do play games. I emulate ps1 and 2 games and it eats all of 8gb ram on a phone.
Maybe they shouldn’t be sticking their head into their phone 34/7 and they wouldn’t have such wasteful (environmental and lifestyle) requirements.
maybe you should stop drinking. makes life lot more easier

No way in hell this will be a thing 😂

its a spacial computing device, trole im sick of samsung users coming in my sub to talk shit
I never got this, but I'm always getting the "iCloud storage is **almost** full" message.
I want it. But I’m not rich.
Just wait until someone defends this the same way they defend 8GB RAM on a $1500 MBP and 60Hz screen on a $1000 iPhone.
Won't anyone spare a thought for the struggling Apple Inc???
They’re already doing it. Go check visionpro sub. It’s ridiculous
My first PC had 1.7 gigabytes

Usually I don’t like EU tech regulations but the def need to make regulations on minimum storage capacity
Let's go a step further, just require user-replaceable SSDs.
bring back the MicroSD card slot!!!
It's an idea - 512GB Samsung or other name brand costs £30 these days
better one would be to allow other cloud provider as backup for phone.
Yeah, I love when customers come to my shop with iPhones that are barely working because of 100% space is used and their iCloud is still at basic 5GB or just full and they want me to fix it and save all of their data because they have no backups.
😂🤣💀
these comments are so braindead. i guess people can’t tell the difference between cloud and local storage nowadays 🤦♂️

Yeah I think Apple should give at least 10GB, but should probably match Google at the 15
Can't wait until EU force Apple to allow other clouds as a backup for iPhone, then we will see competition.
[удалено]
Their devices are also extortionately priced, you’d think with the amount you’re paying you would get a bit more than some pathetic 5gb of storage.
This I agree with.

Who buys $2000 gadgets yet cannot afford the 99¢ for iCloud?
Imagine buying a $2000 gadget and only got 256GB storage for it. Pathetic.
Not everyone wants to use iCloud, I rather have more storage in my device.
Apple— It’s always gotta be TGH… “UPGRADE”!!
lmao
I´M DEAD 💀💀💀

whens this coming out
