How do I turn off these little numbers on the notifications? They look AWFUL!

Andy Carolan :prami:

@maique Is that on iOS though? Just wondering where those notifs are appearing

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt @maique Oh, right sorry... I didn't know that.

I have only just set my phone to update lol

@andycarolan @maique haha it’s really new so nws

fair it also has a lot of apple intelligence stuff in today’s update

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan iOS, yes. 18.1, I just cropped it to show the numbers more clearly

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt @maique I won’t see any of the Apple Intelligence stuff on my current iPhone, it's the XR. Due to upgrade it in the next few weeks.

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan Not sure if I’ll get them as well. A mix of 13 Pro, and EU country, we might not get it until much MUCH later

@jglypt

@andycarolan @maique yeah you won’t. Although interestingly, my iPhone SE 2 has the “Reduce Interruptions” focus mode since my Mac mini is an Apple Silicon one, I think it just used that processing power, which is interesting. but yeah, I don’t have any of the other AI stuff.

Andy Carolan :prami:

@maique I was under the impression that the Apple Int stuff will only be coming to the 16 and 16Pro? I'm probably completely wrong lol. @jglypt

@andycarolan @maique yeah so the Apple Intelligence features work on any Apple Silicon iPad & Mac & the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max + all iPhone 16s (base models included).

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan @jglypt Thanks. No worries, not in a rush to update. Phone would be nice, I guess, but not too sad I won’t get the AI stuff.

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt Hmm, that's interesting. I know off topic a bit, but I've been enjoying iPhone mirroring on MacOS Sequoia/iOS18. It's brought a whole new dimension to Pokémon Go @maique

@andycarolan @maique yeah iPhone mirroring is honestly one of my most used parts of this update, I think even a year from now I can see myself using this more than the Apple Intelligence stuff, even if less exciting haha

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt It's sooooo useful. I keep going to grab my phone to do something, then remembering at the last moment, and opening it on the desktop instead lol @maique

@andycarolan @maique haha same

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt I'm part of the way there... silicon mac and iPad... but ancient phone and prehistoric series 3 apple watch haha @maique

jack - more active on 🦋

@andycarolan @maique haha yeah my only current supported device is my Mac mini, but I think I’ be upgrading to a base 16 in a few months…

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt Nice! I am still undecided whether to go for the 15 and save a few £/$ or get the 16... I mean, it's not like I upgrade my phone every year (hence still using my XR lol) @maique

jack - more active on 🦋

@andycarolan @maique Yeah not sure tbh, I mean I’m mainly going for the 16 for the battery + AI. same as you lol, I’ll most likely end up keeping the 16 for 5-6 years, i’m currently on a 2020 SE, but the battery is soo bad and it’s so slow on iOS 18 at this point.

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt Oh nice, it will be a huge upgrade over the SE! The things I'm looking forward to most is magsafe and USBC lololol. The battery on my XR is still pretty good, so my son will get that when I upgrade @maique

jack - more active on 🦋

@andycarolan @maique Yeah it should be! Yeah, USB-C will be useful. I’m not sure if I’ll find it useful for now since my iPad & AIrPods use lightning still, but overtime I guess things will change (already they are in the newer iPads and AirPods).

Yeah nice! Battery life is one of the things I care about more from a phone I think, I just looked it up the XR has nearly 3,000 mAh, the SE (2) only like 1.8k — so yours has got quite a lot more juice haha
