iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro: How to Use All the New Features

[ignatius345]

I see, it must do - long press for mute from my understanding.

Just did a little digging. Sounds like long press and short press are both used up if you keep the default silent/ring configuration.

How to customize the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button

Put your new phone’s Action Button to work.

Hoping the custom configurations (perhaps along with Shortcuts) will let it be dual-purposed.

That has been my understanding. I ordered three usb-a to usb-c cables so I can CarPlay and continue using some of the usb-a charging bricks I have around.

There should be cable centers everywhere where you drop off the cables you don't want and see if there are any you need.

I say this becuase I've thrown out multiple USB A to C cables that came packaged with stuff recently because I just didn't need them. And I'm sure someone somewhere is throwing out a cable I could use right this moment.

Nice roundup as always MacRumors!

My Series 4 is finally getting upgraded to the 9 today.
Strangely, battery life has been great — until this week?! 🤔

Cheers to everyone getting a new Watch or 15 today! 🥳🤓

What do you think? I was considering upgrading my 6, but I might hold off..I keep waffling.. 🤔

Coincidentally, I just ordered a battery switch for my Series 4. It’s worked great and the 170 € for a switch is still IMO the best watch deal feature wise. The only problem is that Apple has made dragging their feet an artform when it comes to device life extending repairs / swaps. Going on 4 weeks without my watch 🤦

I’ll buy a new watch when they finally give up and improve battery life.

This is somewhat off topic but I keep seeing the wallpaper on the iPhone 15 that is in this article. I just got an iPhone 15 pro and it doesn’t have this wallpaper. Anyone know where I can find it?

I'm actually liking Dynamic Island, but I would love a future update to give it more flexibility. You have the large oval and then the little circle and you should be able to choose what you want to fill it with. It might be useful listening to music, or podcasts (And using the up next feature).

Go to Wallpapers in settings and go down to collections. It might be there. The wallpaper I was using on the old phone transferred over by this new wallpaper looks great.

Still looking for an answer. My car has USB-A for CarPlay/charging. Will I be able to utilize USB-A to USB-C for CarPlay/charging?

Yes.

USB-C with Finder not working with Ventura for me. I tried 3 different Macs with Ventura with no success. I wanted to see how much faster it would be for transfers using a high speed USB-C cable. Even the included slower speed USB-C cable didn't work.

Maybe they locked it to Sonoma to encourage upgrades and promote landfill.
