Got a new iPhone 16 this weekend. Putzing around the yard it fell out of my pockets. Cut the grass, hit something, and I noticed where the thing landed. Yep - it was my iPhone. I did NOT get the insurance.

I got a smart watch, so I carry my phone around a lot less, and thankfully drop it less

I got my wife a new iphone.
Our little one loves using it for music.
Problem is you need a pasword to unlock. She got mad and did it ten times in a row (this took some time as the iphone gives you a time out after 5x)
New security feature in iphone basically bricks your phone if you get the password wrong so many times.
A visit to the Apple store and £250 later…
We managed to get the phone un-bricked and the data re-uploaded from secure back-ups in the cloud.
My wife was not amused.

I have a 16 Pro, one thing I noticed is how good the audio is using the built-in speakers. I mean, you have to set expectations, it’s not hifi, but there is usable output down to 150Hz or so I think.
No idea how they do this. I wonder if they are using a tactile transducer to turn the screen into a speaker to add surface area for bass. Or maybe they’ve just brute forced it, adding power to the amplifier and using some EQ.

This is more what I thought this thread would be about.
GF got really upset with me. I went to pick up some stones from her back yard to place around some flower beds at my house. I brought Audie, my dog, with me without telling her. Her dog didn’t like him and I scared the GF. Awe FLICK!
long story short… he didn’t get his rocks off
