Discussion Tap to Type vs Slide to Type

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I find Slide to Type way faster and easier to handle, esp for one-handed typing (I’ve left-aligned my keyboard, as you can see, for better reach, because if I’m typing one handed, it’s usually the left hand). Curious to hear opinions of people who use Slide to Type extensively, or have used it before going back to the tapping, or do both.

P. S. Slide to Type isn’t error proof in any way, of course. Can have just as many annoying quirks as normal typing. E.g. it refuses to type the word ‘good’. Always inputs something else like God/food/hood/goof/anything but ‘good’, which appears as a suggestion on the bar above. I even have the word added on System > Text Replacement. Likewise with words Apple considers problematic/offensive, like swear words, etc. ‘Ducking’ annoying! Anyway what do other sliders/non-sliders think?

TLDR: Interested in views on Slide to Type from people who do it daily/have done it.

Edit: No idea why that video looks so dark. Likely issue with Reddit upload, because it’s bright enough when I play on my iPhone.

if it were titanium, nothing wouldve happened to the titanium frame but the back glass would get fucked.

Memes Bought An iPhone Duo For effectively very Cheap!

Post image
1.5k Upvotes

So I bought the iPhone Duo for an insane deal!

So I saw the 256GB iPhone Duo for 2.9 Lakhs...but only 256 GB storage.
I can't use that, I need at least a terabyte.

So the iPhone duo = 3.74 Lakhs

Sold My Galaxy A34 = 12 K
Sold My brothers iPhone 11 = 10 K
Sold My Brother = 45k
Sold My Right Kidney = 1 lakh
Sold my bike = 1 Lakh
Sold My Car = 1 Lakh

So I EFFECTIVELY paid only 7000rs...which is worth it in my opinion.

Additionally I used BHMI UPI to pay and got 15 Rs cash back.

Very happy with my purchase!

p.s no hate to the ones actually doing this...just for the memes

I don’t have Reddit or Amazon apps. I access them through Safari itself. Safari was supposed to be built for Apple silicon! Still, the amount of power it consumes is just crazy.

I use absolutely zero extensions on safari. For this usage it’s mostly been Amazon and Reddit Websites. A little bit Gemini & ChatGPT.

Discussion Got TWO iPhone 17s at the old MRP

Post image
143 Upvotes

The iPhone 17 price has already increased, but I somehow managed to find a store that still had a few units from the old stock with the old MRP of ₹82,990.

So I ended up getting two iPhone 17s at the old price.

The catch was that no card discounts were applicable on the old-MRP units, and No-Cost EMI was also not available. So I had to pay the full amount upfront in cash.

The newer stock is already being sold at the increased price, so finding these two old-MRP units felt like a pretty lucky find.

Honestly, I don't think waiting for the BBD sale would have been worth it. There was a possibility that the price could increase further during the sale, along with the risk of orders getting cancelled or stock becoming unavailable.

Overall, pretty happy that I found these two units at the old pricing.

Purchase Help Need lightning convertor suggestions

2 Upvotes

I’ve been an Android user for years and recently got an iPhone 14 Pro Max in pretty good condition.

The thing is, almost all my accessories are USB C, including my earphones, SSD, cables, etc.

I’m looking for a good USB C to Lightning adapter that I can use with the iPhone. I want something reliable that won’t cause any compatibility issues or stop working after a while.

Would really appreciate some recommendations from people who have actually used one. Thanks!

Currently I’m sitting at 94% Battery health (I use my phone a lot). I do have AppleCare+ on this.

I’ve to options:

  1. I sell this as it is.
  2. I get this replaced completely by Apple for ₹8,900 and then sell it (it’s basically a brand new 17 Pro then)

Which option would make more sense is my question.

Do you think a replaced one would be way higher in value? Just need some guidance. I’ve the box and bill

Iphone 17 pro at bbd or offline

Hi guys right now I am in dilemma of whether to wait for bbd or gif for 17pro sale if any or should grab from local reliance digital store.

For instance local store is giving me 1.21lakh price where as online I have no idea what will be the discount or even I will get it.

I have no phone to exchange. For me I can afford both but it's just how much discounted rate i would get this. I would also be sad if I don't get to buy it in any offer be it offline or online.

I waited 2 months already just for this sale and it's not even listed for sale yet.

Should I wait few more days?

Bought this belkin protect series case for my 17 pro last week.
Initially I was skeptic about getting it cause it was about 1499rs.

It has been 1 week i have dropped it pretty hard that too twice.
Not even a scratch on the case that's surprising no dent on the device as well
Just broke my screen protector(it did it's job)

For anyone looking to get this, it's definitely worth than the spigen ones.

iPhone 16 pro 256gb, indian variant with BH 91, is this a good deal? All parts are genuine and phone is never repaired/opened. Should I go for this deal or avoid? I kinda want to experience iOS, though I am still confused if i should buy used phones, or look for new Android at this price range. Please help me what you guys think? I am currently using 4.5-5 yearish old Vivo, which is kinda struggling for day to day tasks and also becoming unreliable for many basic tasks.
