    Get Overcast for podcasts. It is way better imo.

    My battery has been crap on both my iphone and watch for a while now. Normally I end the day with half my watch battery left and now it dies in the evening.

    I'll agree with everyone. Go with Overcast for podcasts.
    Mine was a little clunky the first day, but yesterday and today it's felt great. Some of the animations such as in control center still feel a little slow but besides that it's been great.

    Am I missing something or did they do away with being able to turn off auto brightness?
     
  7. Still in settings. Search for it.

    Thanks. Weird that it wouldn’t be under display and brightness now.

    So it looks like some apps are adding features to be compatible with the “smart invert” full on dark mode would be nice

    Apple kinda has to get their own apps fully working with it first. Some of the apps looked terrible with it on, but some are promising.
     
  11. iPhone 8 Is World's Fastest Phone (It's Not Even Close)
    If you’re wondering how all this translates to real-world performance, we have more good news for iPhone 8 shoppers — and bad news for everyone else. To really put the A11 Bionic chip through its paces, we put the same 2-minute video, shot in 4K by a drone, on the iPhone 8, Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8+, and then added the same transitions and effects before exporting and saving the video.

    The iPhone 8 finished this strenuous task in just 42 seconds, while the Note 8 took more than 3 minutes. The Galaxy S8+ took more than 4 minutes.

    The clock isn't displaying on my lock screen since updating, any ideas how to change that?

    Phone still shows as pending this morning. I'm going to a store this afternoon on lunch to see what I can pick up. Sprint has botched this preorder for the 8/8Plus, good luck to anyone who tries with the X with them.

    A week and a half ago I was pretty set on upgrading my 7 Plus right away so I removed the slick wrap skin I had on it for the past 10 months. Jesus this thing is slippery. Could really use a glass-backed phone right about now...

    What if you use it with the apple leather case? That's what I have to give me some minimal protection + grip.

    Let's hold our breath until we disappear

    Happy release day to all iPhone 8 buyers!
     
  20. The glass back on this feels amazing - makes the 7 feel cheap

    Yeesh. The first day I updated the iOS was fantastic. Now I’m on day three and it keeps on freezing and is incredibly sluggish. I’m on a brand new 7+. Guess I just need to wait for a patch :/

    So because of the crazy amount of podcasts I listen to, I'm already a bit annoyed with the watch showing my audio instead of the watch face when I go to look at it. Just went into the app on my phone though and going to General > Wake Screen lets you turn off the auto-launch on audio apps.

    This is also using up my battery a bit more. It's been in the red by like 8-9pm. Guess that's what I get for putting it on the oldest watch haha.
