Not sure if it’s tied to this update, but my iPhone 7 seems to be using up battery power more quickly than before.

Your iPhone 7 battery may be getting old. In your Settings, on the first screen, look in the third set of set just above “Privacy” at the bottom and press on “Battery”. Check “Battery Health” to see what the capacity of your battery is. It will tell you if it’s time to replace it.

Been using iOS 13 since beta. Two words: Dark Mode.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

I love iphone dark mode, just all my yelp pictures are negatives. Oh well. That is what the iPad is for I guess.

[upchuck]

Now Rush Limbaugh will be not be worth listening to for the next few days as he wastes airtime blabbering about how great these new products from Apple are.

Fortunately the weekend is coming. Perhaps he will have gotten this out of his system by next week.

[AFreeBird]

Major update. The little squirrels are busy running around gathering nuts of info, cataloging and indexing it.

Keep it plugged in As much as possible. It will settle down in a day or two depending on how loaded your system is.

[Maskot]

Well, my iPhone was updated yesterday and it is sooooo effed up I can’t even believe it! Zero noise while texting, stupid volume indicator, “great” customizable emojis (dumb freaking millennials!), pics are in weird spots, maps suck, etc. Apple is crap! And they are tracking you more today than yesterday.

[null and void]

This is why I never load an OS from anyone until at least the first update/service pack

[bkopto]

None of your links to MacDailyNews work.

[beethovenfan]

I’ll wait for 13.2.

Try the repost I just made above. I discovered a glitch in a shortcut I’ve been using for years that got changed in the latest update that now doesn’t quite work by causing a problem when pasting a webpage address into it. The issue is that I use the three letters "hrf” to enter the following string into my edit window:

<a href=“”></a>

This has worked fine for the last decade or so, but with the last update, Apple helpfully (not) added an automatically space at the beginning of any paste. Oops. That makes the URL address pasted inside the double quotation marks automatically invalid. John Robinson’s FreeRepublic code parser designed to prevent error messages, intercepts such errors and automatically returns the user to the page where you attempted the invalid link from. Now that I know of this paste glitch I can watch for it.

If he irritates you so much, why do you listen to him?

[itsahoot]

Apple is crap! And they are tracking you more today than yesterday.

Why don't you make a YouTube video and smash it with a Sledge hammer, then brag about how much cheaper and better an android phone is, get lots of clicks.

[BlueHorseShoe]

Also note, you can schedule dark mode. If you like light mode during day you can flip a switch and dark mode comes on at sundown. Back to light at sunrise. OR...you can custom set the time to switch between modes. Just another option.

For those of you that have, I have not experienced any problems so far with this latest update. None.

Chill baby! Your panties are wadded up just a bit 😉
