Apple Ping!....................
I imagine Apple would prefer you to use Apple Music.
Ha, I started reading this to find out the solution only to remember that I traded in my iphone 6 months ago. I have gone to the dark side (Android).
Getting old I guess.
I had both Apply and Android for years. My old company issued iPhones.
I can say I never want to see an iPhone again. Microsoft Teams is another battery drainer.
I had my first Samsung Galaxy for nearly 5 years before needing to replace it. I’m on my second now.
I’m considering going back to a flip phone.
Not one of the new-fangled ‘retro’ flip phones that just came out. But a real dumb phone.
Popular apes?
Like Clyde or Harambe?
I must be old....Had to look up what Spotify was for....
I do news, sports, finance, no music.
Fortunately I don’t have spotify on my phone
Can’t comment on this but the new iPad IOS adds some really cool stuff.
“I have gone to the dark side (Android).”
So have I. I bought an iPhone X that I never used. Had it for 2 yr and tried to set it up yesterday. It wouldn’t work. iPhone Geniuses at the apple store said it can’t be fixed.
Screw apple. Tomorrow I get a new Samsung galaxyS21 Ultra 5 G, unlocked so I can say screw Verizon too.
Still working on getting an unlocked phone for my wife...with her phone, I may have to stick with apple. Probably an iPhone X or 11. Does anyone have any experience with any of these?
I have a couple of real computers, 2 ipads, and an iphone. My company uses 9 different apps for coordination. They’re working on putting it all on the company admin website....but until then I’ve found its easier to use my ipads when working. And even my iphone when I’m out and about. Took me a few times to get used to 15 but yeah, it’s working well for me.
If you want on or off the Apple/Mac/iOS Ping List, Freepmail me.
“iPhone X that I never used. Had it for 2 yr and tried to set it up yesterday. It wouldn’t work. iPhone Geniuses at the apple store said it can’t be fixed.”
None of that makes any sense whatsoever.
I do use Apple Music and I have unique playlist that mimic what I would play if I still had an Afternoon Drive radio show, I broke format a lot but I did manage to eventually marry my Program Director. (She still thinks my music is weird..)
Huh. It still reads fine to me. I was very precise I thought.
Your English is fine and understandable. I just don’t get how an iPhone can behave the way you describe and especially how Apple couldn’t fix it. I’ve used Apple products from the Apple II days and they have the highest quality, the smoothest upgrades of OS, and the most trouble-free operation of any high-tech equipment I use. I used my iPhone 6 Plus for almost seven years and never had an OS upgrade issue. It finally just didn’t have the horsepower to run today’s apps.
getting ready to change to Samsung....
just waiting for the next trip to Costco
It surprised the hell out of me. The tech said they could replace it for $399.
The problem had something to do with the connection to the battery. The battery couldn’t be charged either via charging cord or wirelessly.
Do I believe the phone could be fixed? Yes. Maybe the tech meant they couldn’t fix it at the Apple Store. At that point, it really didn’t matter to me. I need a phone that works and I’m no longer interested in having an iPhone.
