Couldn’t be farther from the truth. Apple has never been about revolutionary change after revolutionary change every year, but the iterative improvements do make big leaps over time. For iPhones, the cameras and photo quality improve a lot at least once every two or three years. It’s because you don’t care that you don’t know about the leaps, not the other way around.
- massysett 4y agoAs someone who went from an iPhone 7 Plus to a 13 mini, I see GP’s point. 13 mini is certainly a better phone. Better cameras, better battery life, bigger screen but smaller device. But I could see why someone would say this “isn’t worth keeping up with” and not “big leaps.” My 7 Plus photos were fine. It did everything I needed to do. On a daily basis the only benefit for me is that 13 mini is smaller. It was definitely worth the price to me but I see why someone would say it’s not a big leap. And 7 to 13 is many years worth of upgrades.
- ProAm 4y agoYou can't copy music onto the iphone with a USB cable connected to your computer.
- mr_toad 4y agoYes you can.
- ProAm 4y agoWith any PC? It certainly doesnt work with linux or windows.
- mr_toad 4y agoOn a Windows machine you need iTunes to sync music and transfer files according to the docs. (You don’t need to use the iTunes store, but you do need the app to sync music). It’s been a while since I’ve used a windows machine of my own. I doubt it works on Linux unless maybe it works with WINE.
- ProAm 4y agoYeah wine doesnt work with USB. It's crazy you need iTunes (which is being discontinued) to copy music to a device you have access to and can connect to your computer. It's the only hold up I currently have to getting an iPhone. I have a lot of music that just isn't sold or available on any streaming platform that I'd like to copy over but I dont have a windows or mac available. I do have several linux machines available though. I bought a 13 Pro but had to return it. So bummed because Im over Google/Android.
- mr_toad 4y agoI guess the only other solution would be to upload the files to iCloud Drive (not the music library) and play them with a third party app.
- ProAm 4y agoI checked that too, I couldnt find software that would import into the music library from iCloud either. Id be very interested if you know of one that works? I'll keep searching. Or if I wander into an extra $1000 bucks I can buy a mac soley for the purpose of getting music on my phone that I own.
