HEIC takes up less space and is a better quality image. iPhones should be saving in that format as standard unless you’ve changed the format setting?
Yes, I changed it to jpg. Having read that there could be compatibility issues when sending photos to non apple user like they can't use see it and app issues as well. Don't know if this is still an issue? and if the change to HEIC is noticeable?
I read of complaints of being a fingerprints magnet : is that true?
It look beautiful though
My iphonePro in Pacific blue gets delivered Tuesday. Last Friday I went to best buy just to hold and see an actual iphone12Pro. They had one in gold. I was a tad underwhelmed with the Gold one. Had tons of fingerprints on it, but I guess I'd expect that on any of the colors. The back was creamy....just did not do it for me. I'm thinking I will like the PB better. I have a second one ordered also, just in case this first one has the "Yellow" problem. There is no way I'd be comfortable with the contact tracing thing, so i'm glad it does not seem to work well on this new phone, as I have it turned off on my current phone, and old iphone6+. I plan on using a clear case on my new iphone12Pro. Going from an iphone6+ to this new phone, I expect to notice a huge difference. I'm actually more excited to be able to start using my new iwatch6 that is gathering dust waiting for this new phone, as it does not work with my current iphone.
These type of comments make me laugh.The reality is you are already be tracked by a plethora of organisations and the contact tracing app is open source and the API is developed by Apple and Google in partnership. If you are worried about tracking you probably should get rid of any devices you own.
Out of interest is the app pre-installed on your device then with the latest iOS update? I ask because here in the UK you have to specifically install the app from the App Store.

Please don’t call it an iwatch. It makes me cringe.
As a person who has owned at least 6 watches that Apple has made, I believe that is what Apple calls them. What name would you prefer...? I have owned a few phones that Apple has made also....can I call them iphones..?
I see....so they are now just called "watch" or "Apple watch".....but phones are still iphones.....hummmm.....
I called Verizon earlier today and found out there was an issue with my activation - somehow the 5GUW wasn’t active for my line. They fixed it and I found that I now have this from my porch
Yep. Some products still have the 'i' such as iPhone, iPad and iMac but the others don't. I hear people say iWatch all the time. I think that's because it's been synonymous with Apple since the launch of the original iMac.
Apparently Apple gave the iMac that name because the 'i' referred to Internet.

Similarly disappointed with mine. Not as bad as yours, but I lose about 8% of the battery per hour with light-to-moderate use. If I'm using it consistently, it's more like 20% per hour. My iPhone 11 (not Pro) was noticeably less than that.
Have turned off 5g, hopefully it at least matches the 11 now.
Also shut down any social media account and most of the online services that happens to be in the form of an “app”.
At least on this side of the pond, no states had came up with any third party app. There is, however, the contact notification API and basic settings on the Settings / Exposure Notifications for each iOS 13.7 or higher device.
Firstly beautiful shots of the pups! So I must of missed this. You can now get portrait shots of animals?! That’s so awesome!
I found that Airdrop was causing poor battery performance as well. Since I never use it I turned it off and my battery life improved a good deal.
I understand.....and I did watch "The Social Dilemma". Mind you, with my old iphone, contact tracing is something that is in the ios...(I have ios 12.4 currently for my phone6+) and you can turn it on or off. I know Covid is a serious thing worldwide...where I live, (rural) it is not something folks think about 24/7 and cower in fear. Of course, some do. It is a volatile issue and it falls outside an Apple conversation...and many are quick to shame you if you do not have the same mindset as they do....let's just say many around here turn that part of the phone off. I am assuming that I will be able to do this with my new phone....hopefully.
I ordered a super similar case for my Pacific Blue 12 Pro. Very happy I went with the black colour over the fully clear case, this looks awesome!

Yep, my husband has to call in the morning for his as well. He’s get LTE speeds although signal says we are on 5G. Figured it was an activation issue. Easy enough to fix I’m sure. Glad that you posted this.
The Stainless Steel sides are a fingerprint magnet, but not anything to worry about with a clear case that still shows its style and protects it from finger prints.
