iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta
  • Genuine question: Would the caching/reindexing have been different between the later beta releases and the final release? Would those incremental beta releases not have triggered the process each time? If not, then this explanation makes sense, though the one thing that doesn’t make sense is that I’m still seeing lower life after a full week.

    Regardless, it seems like a nuke and pave is probably in order to see if that corrects the issue.

    iOS17 - Battery Drain Worse Than Recent Beta
  • I’m certainly suspicious of them intentionally not fixing some performance bugs until later to encourage people to upgrade now that the new phones are launching.

    The fact that the battery drain has gotten worse with the final iOS 17.0 version is what really made me suspicious and why I wanted to see what others have experienced.

    The joke is on them (or, really, me) because I have a 15 pro arriving tomorrow anyways.

  • Has anyone else seen a dramatic drop in battery life after updating to the final release of iOS 17?

    My 12 Pro was doing fine on the last few beta releases and the battery life has tanked in the last week or so. I’m not doing anything different, so I wanted to see if other beta users saw the same change after updating.

    How easy is to get a prepaid SIM-card in the US for travel?
  • T-Mobile will issue an E-SIM for their prepaid service. I have used it as a secondary network within the past year to supplement the poor Verizon coverage in certain areas. Check their site for details

    YSK: How to protect yourself against Etsy’s plan to prevent class action lawsuits
  • Re: enshittification - I totally agree that they’ve ruined what Etsy was actually good for and now they’re just milking it dry. It’s all generic, mass produced crap now and the search result ads within their site are incredibly obtrusive.

    Yeti
  • Walmart’s brand, Ozark Trail, makes great stainless cups/tumblers and rotomolded coolers, too. But we all know half the appeal of Yeti is the branding flex, so other brands just won’t do for a lot of folks.

    A Rivian owner was in a fender bender. The repair bill was $42,000
  • It’s things like this that make me think the big automakers will eventually come out on top in the EV space.

    Also, I wonder whether the extreme weight of electric vehicles has been factored into insurance premiums yet. I would think they would cause a lot more damage in collisions due to being so much heavier than other vehicles.
