iOS 13 & Your favourite feature

#28

Nah, it’s been great! It has already blocked a bunch of calls for me. As @Shenoy noted, the caller can leave a voicemail if it’s important, or you can turn the feature off temporarily if you’re expecting an important call.

I am going to turn it on for a while and see if it works for me. Just need to save few regular numbers I get calls from, schools, banks, doctors office etc., then good to go.

The HyperDrive hub works perfectly. Allows me to even connect a wired headphone or powered speakers if I wanted to, as well as charge the tablet simultaneously.

As for the Lightning connection, that would be useless as it doesn’t support fast charging nor fast data transfer speeds, at USB 2.0 speeds.

I’m on the developer beta and I love dark mode and audio sharing.

#32

Audio sharing. What’s that? I’ve been doing all the betas but don’t recall anything about that…

Edit: forget it, I remember what it is. It’s a shame it’s only limited to select Apple earbuds.

I have used this feature while using Roku private listening mode from iPhone sharing audio with my wife’s and my airpods… Works pretty good… but it’s not very easy to set it up though

#35

Yeah, this is another cool feature, if you can figure out how to set it up :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The coolest feature yet on iOS 13 is the Automation in Shortcuts

Tried it but not able to use it, may be just me and what I needed, what do you use it for though, for example?

#38

Oh so another feature that somewhat had been available on android for some time. Way to go apple.

And I’m talking about dual audio, where you can pair multiple BT earphones to a phone and share what your listening to, which btw is much easier and faster than apple’s way of doing it

Apple has some how lost some of it’s mojo, and now playing catch up game… product upgrades also are incremental, and more of a camera company now

#40

Apples not “playing catch up”, they’re doing this intentionally. They could easily add all the functionality of other high end brands in a single year. They don’t because after jobs left they haven’t been innovating. They have add “new features” every hear so they’re just spreading out the features that there are so people will keep buying.

I am waiting for a “wow” device / product from Apple… Not sure what will it be… time machine ( not talking about the Mac backup app here :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: )

#42

The iPad Pro is my wow machine. I use it daily and it is very fast. Will be my travel companion

I’m yet to be convinced to use an iPad to substitute laptop. I don’t find it easy to handle files and folders, usb connectivity (now may be resolved with usb C and hubs). etc.,
Will try the new iPadOS and see if it makes any difference.

#44

Completely agree… Apple has added lot of options including mouse support… But for most things… laptop is still a go to device. I have seen many roam around with iPad Pro only to connect to Windows Remote Desktop to get “some work” accomplished :grin:

No offences @Dez_S

No offense taken @Shenoy

I still own a laptop but rarely use it. My desktop is my go-to workstation that handles everything. When on the go and travelling, the iPad Pro will be my computing device. Can’t take the desktop nor want to take a heavy laptop in those cases :wink:

I agree and I do see practical use of having a tablet. Only waiting for that day when I just use my tablet and say good bye to the laptops.

People are already adopting that approach, With Microsoft Remote Desktop solution available on Azure, lot of users have the iPads and Androids (i believe) connecting to remote desktop for their use and on the go… it is still a walled garden
