Test having it on versus having it off.  If it isn’t helping, it may be draining your battery unnecessarily.Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

After doing more travel and wanting to consolidate the number of charging bricks that I had to take with me, I finally invested in a GaN charger that has been wonderful. The only downside is the process I had to go through to learn about all the wattage requirements, my specific USB needs, and all the port configurations for charging. But I finally landed on the Anker 737 Charger and have been quite happy. Jeff’s iTip: I was excited to upgrade my Mac to the Ventura operating system so that I could finally use the Continuity Camera feature which let me use my iPhone as a webcam for Mac. I’ve propped up my iPhone behind my Mac and pointed the camera at me, and the difference has been absolutely tremendous in using my iPhone camera. Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

I’m starting to like it, but still working through all the different options and confusion. I like using Command + Tab to switch between apps … and that works if the apps are open in the same “Stage.” But if it’s another “Stage” then it will switch to that Stage. I also can’t see apps “behind” apps in a Stage unless I re-size them. The 4-finger swipe gesture still works, and a new 1-finger at bottom of the screen gesture is there, but that seems to only switch between “Stages.” Jeff’s iTip: Customize the Mail Toolbar on the iPad. In iPadOS 16.1, you have control over the icons that appear at the top of the screen in the Mail app.  Tap the circle with three dots at the far right, select Customize Toolbar, and then move icons around and drag additional icons on or off. I immediately added the mark as read / unread icons up there.  More recently, I added the Later button (to remind you of the email in an hour, tonight, tomorrow, oSupport the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

My Apple Watch gets a separate phone number but that’s just for billing purposes. The Apple Watch actually “shares” the same phone number as your iPhone. Each carrier calls this something different, but on AT&T it’s called “NumberSync” (Verizon calls it “Number Share”).Jeff’s iTip: You can set a favorite timer on your Apple Watch for quick access. Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

I really like the new Search box but many people seem to NOT like it - fortunately you can turn it off by going to Settings - Home Screen. If you do keep it, it’s easy to tap on it to access the search function, and you can also tap and hold to quickly get into jiggly mode so you can move your apps around or delete them.Jeff’s iTip: Turn on Wi-Fi Calling–or Turn it Back On … It’s possible when you upgraded to a new phone or upgraded your current phone to iOS 16 that Wi-Fi calling might have turned off. If this is something you use, go to Settings - Phone - Wi-Fi Calling and make sure it’s on (you might have to verify your home address for emergency call purposes).
