I think this one is:

Settings > privacy and security > location services > system services > significant locations

And turn significant locations off.

They buried this one deep.

But you have to open the case to track then. You don’t need to do that with the 2nd gen pros. You don’t need to have AirPods in the case at all to track the case.

It only makes sense on the new pros since the case has a speaker and doesn’t need AirPods in them to connect. I imagine for older models, it’s for individual buds that got lost in the couch.

It’s entirely possible they’ve never seen a photocopier.

Honestly, if this is true, whatever.

The worst part of USB C is that the quality of the cable is a complete unknown to people at a glance, the only way I can tell my Thunderbolt 4 cable from any other USB C cable is that the TB4 cable has a larger boot around the connector.

But even that isn’t a guarantee to it’s quality, data rate, or power transmission.

If mfi means that it meets a minimum spec, fine by me.

If not though, then Apple can pound sand.

Why would they give you a feature that doesn’t work?

VP9 was for 1440p+. If it was a codec issue, they’d still have 1080p as an option.

It’s to herd you toward the app.

YouTube doesn’t support 120fps. Even if your device is 120hz or 1200hz the video and stream is still 60hz max.

It’s 100% just to make you use the app vs the browser on mobile devices. Not because of any missing codec.

For real, If you have the option of same day shipping. It means there’s an Apple Store close enough for you to drive to without it being an issue for most people.

It’s a custom focus status icon.

Since Apple doesn’t allow HEIF/HEVC separation between photo and video, use high efficiency so that you have all camera features available. You can’t use 4K 60, Dolby vision recording, or cinematic 4K without having it set to heic/hevc.

Because it was a tactic to force the issue and make it mainstream so they can remove physical sim slots from all models internationally. They extra space will get used. Just not yet, next year though I suspect we will see then move the board down a bit in the phone to make room for the periscope camera.

You have to watch where the target is going, not where it is at.

It could be photos trying to upload to iCloud, if you were taking videos at a concert and you had low signal and iCloud backup over mobile, I can definitely see that making quite a bit of heat.

While I can’t answer all your questions, I can say that you don’t need to fully close apps every time you’re done using it. In fact it’s much more efficient to hold it in RAM then it is to launch from scratch every time. You should only really kill apps if you know it’s misbehaving.

As for the heat, try resetting network settings/all settings from the reset menu and see if that fixes anything. After that try doing a factory reset to see if that helps at all.

Because no, it shouldn’t get hard to hold in normal usage, my 14 Pro never gets very warm at all. But do know that you may notice a little more heat than before since the 14 Pro has a larger heat spreader and more graphite film than Apple has ever used before so your phone may feel a little warmer than your older ones where the heat was very concentrated at the SOC.
