| ![]() Got to appreciate the fact that the iPhone has a better Bluetooth system (or chip, whatever you’d want to call that). When connected to the Echo dot for music playback, I get complete coverage in my small apartment. My previous device the Mi A2 used to stutter if I moved to the bedroom. I can also access the entire song library through Bluetooth on my car’s RCD 340 system. The MI A2 couldn’t. It takes a few seconds to access the library and displays the whole list. Was quite surprised at this. |

If there's a phone shop in your area which sells both android and Iphone go there and have a word. Even the repair shops may be able to help out. |

| ![]() We have got a situation where my dad is trying to use my desktop and iTunes to move some songs into his iPhone, which was unsuccessful and the phone would not sync with iTunes even though it was recognised and accessible through the desktop. The end result was that my phone in Germany got all the songs he was trying to add to his phone sitting in Bangalore. Not sure from when iTunes got so complicated and to whether boast or rant about this arrangement. ![]() He did try to log out of my apple id in iTunes and login to his. But whatever he tried to sync landed in my phone in no time, whereas he couldnt add a single file to his own phone. So today I have instructed him to uninstall iTunes on my desktop and reinstall with his apple ID. I hope it works else I have to book a flight back to Bangalore and help him out before he throws away the phone. ![]() Any pointers in this regard would be appreciated guys. And could you help me out with some ways to remote access my PC and help him out? I am thinking of Skype or Teamviewer, but looks like Teamviewer cant remote connect my iPad to desktop for some unknown reasons. |

| ![]() How good or bad is the battery life on the iPhone SE. It's the only iphone within my budget (thinking of switching from android) and I like its compact size. The issue is most reviews say the battery wont even last till the evening with heavy usage. In your real world experience, if the phone is charged at 100 percent at 8am, how many hours of SOT does it give on a full charge. |

| ![]() Guys, has anyone here tried ordering from Nomad.com? They seem to have very good quality leather cases for Apple products but they ship from US. |

I have been using RAEGR wireless charger most of the time and cable in the car. anyone has faced the same issue so far. not sure whether my charging pattern is wrong or wireless charger has done adverse effect on battery. I always keep the Optimized Battery Charging ON only. |

| ![]() My wife gifted me an iPhone 12 pro and Apple Airpods pro on my birthday! ![]() I too faced the problem of getting WhatsApp chats over in the iPhone, but then later on decided to just clear up all the chats in Android and only came over to WhatsApp on iOS with a clean slate. It was much easier that way. I have also used it quite a lot for photography. The problem is that the iCloud storage is a measly 5GB, so I am sure that in the next few weeks I will have to purchase additional storage. The other thing is that I have a Google One account, so is there any way I can link and have the phone upload photos and my documents to the 100GB on the Google storage? With Android it was easy, but I am yet to find a "truly" seamless way of getting the Google storage linked with iOS and have it transfer everything to that. |

If you don't disable icloud photos sync you will use up the 5GB and have duplicate pics on google and apple photos icloud. | |

My usage is around 3 to 4 hours of SOT with browsing the net, Reddit, some YouTube. I don’t think the SE will last till evening then. I’m spoiled by the 7 hours of SOT my android phone brings. |

If it is going to be your only device that you will be using for practically everything, I don’t think the iPhone SE will be any good. The battery backup is no match for even some of the entry level androids. I am ok with it because I use my iPad or android tablet for most purposes that require significant screen time. |

The main appeal of the phone, apart from ios is the compact size. I want something that can fit easily in slim jeans without it being uncomfortable. Last edited by avi550m : 17th April 2021 at 10:24. | |
