I'm considering buying an apple watch. Just curious as to how you managed to break the screen? |

Try typing 100 words on both phones and you will see what I mean. The screen may itself be the same size, but smaller bezels mean your thumbs are closer together for those of us who hold the phone on its side and type with both thumbs. | |

XR is also much thicker at 8.3mm compared to the 12 at 7.4mm, in the phone world that’s a massive difference. Last edited by AJ56 : 3rd January 2022 at 02:02. | |

Also note that Google does not honour the 1 year warranty on Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in India. It will be valid only in countries where it is actually sold. Whereas the iphone comes with international warranty. This point is seriously making me reconsider the Pixel. I am also a lifetime Android user who has been very happy using the stock Moto G series, Nexus 6 and now OP 7T. Can't find any good flagship Android devices in India hence waiting for a friend to get me one from the US. Do let me know which way you go with this! | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Try to source a Pixel 6, but due to current omicron situation my friend cancelled the travel plans. As I invested heavily on the Apple ecosystem : AirPods , Watch and Mac decided to stay with Apple again. Ordered iPhone-13. |

Your friend really let you down, it was easy to order and get it delivered. But, coming to you point, i would suggest getting the 13 pro. (Upgrade to max if you’re comfortable with the screen size, it has great battery life) And also please do wait if someone comes from US if you can wait that is. Otherwise, you may go ahead and buy one of the numerous USA billed iPhone's from the grey market. Getting gadgets from US is a waiting game. I myself bought the 13 Pro Max from USA. I wanted it since it came out but waited a long time for it to come from the U.S. So, i would suggest waiting and if you can’t wait, pay 20-25k more and get one from the grey market. (The warranty works for them) Last edited by Schneller : 4th January 2022 at 08:23. Reason: Typo | |

| ![]() Lots of us are holding our old iPhones due to various reasons. However, some older models have pretty average battery life- like the one I have- the 6S. Jokingly in many circles, they say that 6S stands for 6 seconds of battery life ![]() So, I would like to share a small but neat trick to increase the battery standby time on any iPhone. I have deployed this trick to both my phones which are 6S & 12 Mini. Check & try if it suits your usage pattern. I have used the shortcuts app and have created an automation to turn lower power mode on at 11 in the night. Moreover, another automation scheduled at 12:30 in the night turns off the cellular data, WiFi and Bluetooth connections. This is followed by another automation that kicks in at 7:30 in the morning and turns the WiFi back on and reactivates the normal battery mode at once. Using these automations, I am able to stretch my 6S battery to 24 hours between charges. On the 12 Mini, I am easily able to go 48 hour plus! This is with moderate use for both. Previously, the 6S would drain anything between 12-17% battery overnight in standby. But now it drains just 5% at max. So, you can also try these automations and improvise the timings/ actions as per your suitability. Trust this will help some. Also, if you have some good and creative automations/ shortcuts created on your phone, please share so that we could unlock the potential of one of the least used but powerful iOS built-in apps.

Nice one! I have done two automations, when I connect my phone to my Apple car play, I have enabled an automatic WhatsApp message to my wife stating that “I’m driving, so please call me if anything and not WhatsApp”. Second automation triggers the opening of my office attendance application everyday morning at 9:45am as well as in the evening at 7:30pm. I think much more can be done through shortcuts and automation, but I’m yet to explore. | |
