Technology and the Times

I took my car into Manhattan tonight for a photo run, since I hoped some Chinese New Year windows would be up. My car made it through, though the last two times I started it in the city it sounded weak and scared me a bit. I took some shots at Bergdorf and Saks, which had some stuff I liked but nothing that knocked me out

What model iPhone is it?

[viridian5]

The 5S. I'm wondering if the recent iOS update made it even worse. I also currently have a ton of Documents & Data sitting on my phone, something that happened when I updated to iOS 10.

Then I'm not sure. If it was a 6s there was a recall on the battery for a number of them (mine and Toby's had the issue), but it seems not.

It might be a battery issue, though.

That was me.

I keep the selections separate per device by syncing them with different playlists.

You're lucky you can still do that. iTunes won't even acknowledge my old iPod exists. My old iPod is now my new alarm clock, since nothing on it will update anymore (it says the iOS is too old, but it won't let me update the iOS either). I hate built-in obsolescence. It's so wasteful.

That sucks!

Agreed. I also resent that you can't change the battery on Apple iProducts. I spend so much time charging my devices these days.
