    So Few iOS Users Have Upgraded to Improve Messaging Experience

    Not a scientific study, but I'm estimating that only 10 to 20 percent of my Apple using friends have upgraded their OS so that we can mutually enjoy a better texting experience. What are you finding with your Apple friends? Thoughts why so many haven't upgraded?

    To stress, or not to stress; that is the question.

    I disabled them as well. Your point about being delayed is spot on. I found myself stressing about trying to figure out what I was supposedly stressing about!

    Camera protector for Pixel 9 Pro XL

    I dunno.. back in the day when I used a film SLR for lots of photograhy, me and a lot of other pros used an assortment of screw on filters - there wasn't a concern. I can't see how a layer of glass imperceptively close to the lens is going to affect anything....

    Fingerprint reader finally!

    I tend to agree with you. It took me soooo long to register three fingers. Kept promting me to press hard, move it around many many times. Finally got it working sort of OK. But deleted all the prints and did it again. It's OK for me, not great. One thing I've realized it that a rather than...

    Which Battery Charger?

    Keep in mind that the Pixel charger uses a function of voltage and current. So, be aware that chargeres that deliver high wattage may not do so at the voltage required to charge the p9XL at it's fastest rate. PD: 5V/3A, 9V/3A,15V/3A, 20V/2.25A PPS: up to 11V/3A, 16V/3A, *21V/2.25A max 45W*

    No Interest in This Phone in the Forums?

    Just got an 8a for my partner to replace her 6. Works like a charm, she loves it. Suprised that there haven't been any posts here since June..... Is it that good?!

    Initial Impressions 22 hours In

    Transfer from 8 Pro to 9 Pro XL was flawless. I had a physical SIMM in the 8, even transferred that to an eSIMM in the 9. Hint, use the cable rather than rely on wireless. I had a sh!t ton of pics and music, more than a couple hundred apps - didn't time it 'cause I was doing some other work, but...

    Google may finally let you set a manual charge limit on Pixel phones

    I'd appreciate that. I have chargers in my offices, car, and have portable chargers. I like to keep it between 50 and 80 percent. I pre-ordered my 8Pro and got it as soon as it started shipping. Once a month I let it the battery go down to 2% and then adaptively charge it to 100 oernight to get...
