Trying to rearrange the icons in control center is mad annoying. Just like in macOS

The new iOS control center customization is one of the most frustrating technology experiences I’ve had in years. This was shipped to over 1 billion people.

Ya fukk with the dark icons?

The dark icons look much better than the standard light ones in my opinion especially if you have a dark picture or wallpaper as your background.

I ordered the 16 Pro Max and Series 10. Coming from an XS Max and Series 4.

I think that the upgrade is needed, but there is nothing exciting or special about this new release.

I still use an iPhone x.

Grabbed the Black 256 Pro Max. My phone is a 13 Pro Max, but the $1000 trade in was too much for me to ignore.

I have same phone thinking about doing this

Or wait til Black Friday


How much hs the phone a month when you go this route ?

AirPods 4 active noise cancellation​

As mentioned at the outset, with the ANC-enabled AirPods 4, I flew from San Jose, Calif. to Atlanta before hopping on another NYC-bound flight.

I spent nearly eight hours with the AirPods 4 in my ears. As I hinted in my hands-on review, the AirPods 4 sounded like honey to my ears — and even more so when ANC was on. While I was at the airport, sounds of coo-ing babies, loud conversations, and rolling luggage were significantly reduced, allowing me to sink deeper into some of my favorite Apple Music playlists.

It was as if the AirPods 4 erased the cacophonous world around me, allowing me to sit in a quiet, empty void, with nothing but myself, my earbuds, and Sabrina Carpenter. "Me Espresso" already sounds darn good, but on the AirPods 4, it sounds immaculate.

Did I hear the airplane engine?​

No headphones are going to completely get rid of engine noise. For example, when I compared the AirPods Max and Sony XM5s, two high-priced over-ear headphones, even they had some external noise leak through the devices. (But the AirPods Max did a better job at handling ANC.)

However, the AirPods 4 did, in fact, significantly reduce the drone of the airplane engine. I noticed the ANC eliminated the high-pitched whine of the plane, creating a much more pleasant listening experience. However, it didn't completely get rid of the lower, rumbling sounds of the engine — it was still faintly noticeable.

It reduced it, yes, but it didn't eliminate it completely, which is, again, par for the course for ANC. Overall, the AirPods 4 did a great job at dampening the sound of the plane as it ripped through the air at more than 500 miles per hour.

ANC is a rarity in open-ear designs​

People may underestimate how unusual it is to get ANC support in an open-ear design like the AirPods 4. As I mentioned in my hands-on, unlike the AirPods Pro 2, the AirPods 4 do not feature silicon tips. As such, it doesn't have a tight seal stuffed in your ears to support ANC technology in blocking external sounds.

However, Apple boasted that it was able to accomplish this engineering challenge by using upgraded microphones (the same ones found on the AirPods Pro 2), the H2 processor, and cutting-edge computational audio.

These are a huge W.

I can't use regular air pods. They fall out my ear when exercising or sweating.

I can't use regular air pods. They fall out my ear even exercising or sweat

Same, I regret buying the 3rd generation AirPods. It falls out just walking. The 2nd generation with the long stem never fell out like that.

Next time it’ll have to be over the ear

New Powerbeats Pros drop next yr. I`m hoping they have ANC as the OG was like the GOAT Gym headphones. Only issue is AirPods get the H Chip and beats don't.

I've been on the 2nd Gen as well as they've been perfect thus far.

I never tried the 3rd Gen because the shape looked funky. Never wanted Pros because I don't anything in my ear.

Gonna take a gamble on AP4 ANC because it seems to be the best of both worlds with H2 chip.

If they don't hit, I'll return and cop another set of 2nd Gens before they disappear.

16 pro max delivered today. Everything transferred over. The display is really nice (coming from 14 pro max). Will keep playing with it some more (pause) to get a good feel for it (pause).
