On the cusp of the iPhone 15 debut, Apple has finally admitted what has long been clear: The industry is facing a smartphone slowdown. Also: Another M3 Mac goes into testing, Apple seeks to downplay its Goldman Sachs rift, and Vision Pro developer labs get off to a sluggish start.
I’m on the other side. I have a 10 and it’s just dropped below 90% on the battery which makes sense because I’m no having to look for charging before the end of the evening. I also have a Synology nas which handles a lot of my “cloud” needs like backup, and your concerns about walled garden don’t really seem to apply to me.
The biggest issue I have is even a decade later my typing speed and accuracy is well below my blackberry days. I’m looking at getting a larger model to hopefully improve things.
I’m not sure about accessing files directly from PC but transferring files via and SMB share folders seems reasonable without relying on cloud storage. I setup a dedicated folder that I share via SMB and access it using the files app.
