    Aesthetics, yeah. The camera bump out and the 'sticker' looking part.

  2. If you don’t like the look of the 17 Pro - which fair - I’d almost recommend getting the 17 over a 16 Pro

    That was another idea I had (plus 17 has black/gray unlike Pro). The camera is what always has me going Pro model.

    How often do you really use the telephoto?
     
  5. I love the 17 Pro and the TechWoven case more and more each day. It feels lighter in hand than my 14 Pro, which can't be true, but it just feels so nice. Camera is so damn good. Scrolling is so nice.

    From being on the fence before, I'm very happy I upgraded.

    Good question, is there a way to search my camera roll? Doesn't seem like it, which is silly since it has so much data each time you snap a pic.
     
  7. I truly think you can search photos and see how many have been taken via telephoto

    Doesn't look like it. You can type in 'iPhone' and it'll give you options for different iPhones you owned and took pictures with, but you can't specify the lens.

    I take about 50% of my photos with the telephoto lens. Never use the ultrawide. I also use the 35mm or 2x crop-in with the main lens more than the default focal length. I actually changed my default on the main lens to 35mm.

    Yeah, I often use 1.5x with the main lens. I don't really use the telephoto

    After seeing the damage from a dropped 17 Pro in a TechWoven (or any soft Apple case for that matter), I'm going to have to be extremely careful with my phone till the Caudabe case arrives in October. I literally just dropped my 16 Pro Max for the last time leaving work yesterday and chipped the screen protector. Wish i wasn't so clumsy. :facepalm:
     
  12. I dunno, I find drop tests silly and not reflective of any of my lived experience. I've dropped a phone with no case, seen it be fine. Seen others drop tank looking cases and the entire back shatter. This case feels solid and perfectly capable of handling a drop as well as any I've ever used.

    I literally dropped my 17 Pro in a techwoven case on the sidewalk yesterday and neither shows any sign of damage.

    It survived the sidewalk (yesterday) but did not survive the asphalt.

    AirPod Pro 3 sound quality is a pretty significant upgrade over the 2s. Picking up little added pieces from songs I've listened to frequently over the past week today on these, bass is noticeably punchier.

    If I didn’t get the AirPod 4s earlier this year I’d make the upgrade even though in the past I’ve not liked rubber tips. The idea of even better ANC to drown out the idiots in my office during song transitions is super appealing.

    I ended up buying the Powerbeats Pro 2 because all AirPods were falling out of my ear, and I am having kind of a mid experience, especially for the price.
    No one can hear me talk when I am walking outside with them. Hoever, listening to music is an 11/10 experience. Pretty frustrating.

    If I didn't just buy Airpods Max over the summer I'd be buying them.

    Do AirPods Pro 3 fit smaller ears better?

    or I should say, will they hurt smaller-eared people less?

    There are (5) sizes that come with the Gen 3 now as opposed to the (3) the first two Gens came equipped with. So I'd like to say yes, there is a representation here for you.

    Got my Ultra 3 with the blue Trail Loop the other day. The band is nice but it's a cat fur magnet.
