iPhone15のケースには注意

新発売されたiPhone15は着信／サイレントスイッチからアクションボタンが採用されました。

ところがこの変更は事前にケースメーカーサードパティーには伝えられておらず、発売当初穴になっているのが売られていました。

現在、多くのメーカーが早期に対応したためボタンが押せれるようになっていますが、中古、オークション、安物の中には穴になっているのが売られている可能性があります。

ちなみに、穴があるものでもメーカーが交換修理など何かしらのサポートをしてくれることがあるので、製造元商品ホームページで確認してください。

Can we please normalize not posting fanart on the most unknown and diabolical sites ever???

Use tumblr, twitter, TikTok, fuck even deviant art bro what I’m about to say YES it’s my fault I’m an idiot but dude I’m gonna lose it

I’m on safari priv browser and I’m looking for some TD pfps and junk, I know lame shit. So I’m srolling scroll scrolly scroll and I come across some cute Gwen fanart and I’m like aw. Nothing nsfw, just some cute art..

But the quality was shitty, so I click ‘visit’ expecting it to take me to yk deviant art ((since sometimes people post undevious stuff there) or tumblr and instead it doesn’t load the page and it takes me to something like staka whatever I was kinda zoned out, and then the Www changes to like ‘sexy change’ or something and I’m like uhm I shouldn’t be here!!!!

I’m like man it’s some stupid site nobodies heard of so it’s gonna be full of nsfw and gross shit and ADS and I start spamming the back arrow because I don’t need to art that bad bro so just as the back button registers my screen fucking flashes

‘Your iPhone has been hacked! Emergency action is needed!’ But the pop up disappeared because I clicked so fast I went all the way back to safari and now I’m freaked and I’m like bro if I show my mom she’s gonna be like what were u on?! And I’m gonna have to say somehow I ended up on sexychange or something?☹️ and then I’m like there’s no way I got hacked that fast right? So I searched it up and safari called me a moron and said your phone doesn’t send shit like that and the pop up is a scam or the hack itself or whatever

But basically I’m a moron and my phone is fine but like. Stop using these dog shit porn infested sites to post your art you losers I will update u guys if anything does happen with my phone but I doubt it

tumblr will always be my favorite social media platform :') i love the tag organizing system, i love the mixed formatting where you can post either pictures or text posts, i love the way the profile layout is, i love that it isn't so heavily regulated so i can post whatever i want without issue, i'm able to show both sexual and nonsexual sides of my littlespace so it's more authentic, everything about tumblr is so perfect for me. the iphone 15 pro series has an action button you can set any command to, and mine is literally set to take me to tumblr since i'm most active here. tumblr >>>

hi!! i love your animatics! i wanted to start making some of my own and was wondering, if you dont mind me asking, how do you get the audios for the scenes you animate? i tried a couple of yt clips to mp3 converters but like its not really working for me for some reason :')

Thank you so much Anon! :D there are a couple different ways I scrape my audios, the first way that I did it was literally opening the entire several hour audio file downloaded from Patreon with Adobe Audition and cutting the part that I wanted but I don’t recommend that one XD

The ones I do recommend v

The way I get audio from anything YouTube is by using Y2mate WITH ADBLOCKER. This is important because without adblocker it only downloads correctly like 30% of the time and sends me to a new page to get a virus like 70% of the time. It likes to play games like that. But you can beat it with adblocker then it will give you what you want 100% of the time. I’ve got Ublocker origin but unfortunately idk how to install it cuz a friend installed it for me XD

Idk if you have tried this converter yet but it’s worked great for me so far and can download a video with visuals or only audio and everything.

(Link : https://www.y2mate.com/en899)

The second way I clip audio is the one I use the most because you can turn screen recordings directly into audio, but I’m not sure if it works on every phone I think it only works on iPhone.

If you don’t have an iPhone or this Shortcuts tutorial is just being annoying and not working skip this and just upload your screen recording video to YouTube as a private video to your own channel, and then rip your own audio off YouTube with the previous Y2mate method XD

Shortcuts Extract Audio tutorial below

If you wanna skip my scuffed screenshots here is a video version tutorial.

The two apps you need are Google Photos and Shortcuts.

Step 1. Screen record the clip you want.

Step 2. Open Google Photos and press the Share option on your video. We will be using a shortcut we make to rip audio. Once you make it you can always use it here at the bottom of the share options.

Step 3. Idk why I’m numbering these steps, basically this is where you start to make the shortcut lol. Open the app and make a new shortcut.

Step 4.

Rename ur new shortcut there is no preset Extract Audio shortcut available you have to make it. Then press the i at the bottom.

Step 5.

Flip the Show in Share Sheet toggle. Then press done

Step 6.

Click the “Images and 18 more” (it may also say “any”) input thing and clear all the toggles and flip only media.

Step 7.

Now go to add action button and search for Encode media.

Step 8. Press the down arrow on Encode media and toggle for Audio Only

Step 9. Press the down arrow on Save and toggle on Ask where to save.

Okay now you are done! Press done. You can leave the app after this.

Now you have a button in ur Google Photos share option to rip audio!

You will find your saved MP3’s wherever you sort them in your files from here. I usually toss mine into a folder in downloads. Then I go ahead and send myself the MP3 to my computer and put them into whatever software I’m using to animate from there!

Hopefully this made sense. If that doesn’t work just go back to option 1 : Y2mate with Adblock. Good luck! I am sure there are many other ways,, this is just the way I do it…

P.S. if you do make your own animatics I would love to see them so feel free to send me a link sometime! :D

Magic Box

Kai Smith x OC

Azalea(OC) belongs to me

༺This is my first time writing about Lea so please go easy on me, I’ve been wanting to post about her on tumblr but I’ve been a bit nervous and my writers block has been killing me༻

"what are you doing?"

Azalea looked up from what she were doing and averted her gaze towards her brunette boyfriend "whatever do you mean?" she would reply with the same questionable tone.

Kai would slowly walk towards her and gently take the device from within her grasp "I was looking everywhere for my phone, what were you doing babe?" he leaned down a bit and pressed a soft kiss to her head.

The queen tilted her head a bit as she smiled at the feeling of the small kiss "Phone? Is that the labeled name for this magic box?" she slightly pointed her finger towards the iphone within Kai's palm to which Kai gave her an amused expression "magic box?" his tone sounded as if he were about to burst out laughing.

Azalea didn't let the tone and body language go unnoticed tho "is my lack of knowledge amusing to you?" she frowned a bit to which Kai quickly paused and lightly shook his head "no no baby I just think it's...interesting" he tried to word it right without offending her.

She squinted as she inspected his facial expression "I see." she simply nodded in understanding "what is the purpose of this..phone?" she added. Kai's smile would grow at her question "well, you can contact friends, family, lovers." Kai started as Lea listened intently with the intention of learning. "You can also take photos-" "pho..tos?" "like this" Kai would turn the phone on and open up the camera app, each action amazing the kitsune further.

Kai then used his free hand to snake around her waist until he had a gentle hold on her hip, his other hand lifting the device to face them, the screen's camera showing them both as if it were a little mirror. Lea's eyes slightly widened with amazement "is that a magic mirror?" Kai laughed at her question "just smile okay?" he instructed to which she nodded slowly and looked up at the 'mirror', smiling softly at it as Kai did the same. His finger slightly moved to press a white button causing the screen to flash for a second.

Kai got out of his little pose to which she also relaxed, he shifted his finger to a little square at the bottom left of the screen as he lowered his arm. As he clicked it, the photo he just took of them opened until it were the only thing on the screen, Lea's eyes were practically sparkling "what is this wonderous magic? Oh how lovely it is!" she slowly reached forward and touched the screen with her finger to which the border of the gallery popped up, catching her off guard.

The entire time Kai was staring at her with so much love and admiration in his eyes, a soft smile on his lips as he kept her close "this is called a camera and we use it to take photos" he lightly explained to which Lea nodded before accidentally sliding the photo on the screen to let another pop up.

"Huh?.."

It was a photo of Lea staring at the sunset from the bounty "is that me?" Kai felt his cheeks heating up a bit due to embarrassment "I'm sorry, you looked so beautiful and I couldn't help but take a picture.." he said with a slightly shy tone. Lea looked at the photo then at her him, her expression turning from surprise to a soft, loving look "you thought I looked beautiful?" she gently used her fingers to turn his head to look at her.

Kai's eyes finally met hers as he nodded a bit much to her happiness "oh you are so lovely.." she cooed and tip toed a bit and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek "thank you.."

Kai slowly slipped his phone into his pocket before wrapping both of his arms around her body, holding her in a gentle embrace as she snaked her arms over his shoulders. He gently pressed his forehead against hers as she closed her eyes and smiled wide, he then lowered his arms to her thighs and lifted her up a bit to which she automatically started swinging her legs happily.

"You're the best you know that?" He finally spoke up to which she let out a soft giggle "I believe you also deserve such a title" she cooed. As they both pulled away, they locked eyes in a loving gaze "I love you.." "I love you too" their lips got closer and closer as they leaned in but as they say every good thing has to come to an end as JAY swung the door open "hey ka-" he paused upon noticing he interrupted a tender moment.

Kai slowly placed Lea down and gave a passive aggressive smile to the blue ninja before cracking his knuckles "I'm gonna give you five seconds."

"Kai-"

"One."

"Kai list-"

"Two."

"shit-"

"Three."

Before Kai could say 'four', Jay already backed up and ran out of the room and down the hall to which Lea covered her mouth with her hand and laughed quietly "must you injure or scare him every time he does that?" "absolutely."

do you edit your photos and what do u take them with? they're really nice!

thank you!! & i do edit my photos!! i just take them with my phone (it's some kind of older iphone i don't know what kind... it has a home button but no headphone jack. that's the age we're talking) and edit them with apple image editing. i like to edit my photos not so they look realistic but so they kind of evoke the way the place actually felt at the time.. cause the actual picture doesn't usually do justice to the emotion/scene/action/whatever i'm trying to capture.

visually impaired gaming

"how are you doing that so fast?! You can see that?!"

my morher asked me this a while back, while i was claiming dailies on Elnea Kingdom. She was surprised because normally i work at a snail's pace when Googling and such, because the screen has to be very close to my face for me to see it and i can only actually look at half the screen in focus.

The thing was i memorized my game dailies.

as long as i know whwre i am on the screen, i can leave my lhone at a normal distance from my face while i claim things. The claim system for Elnea Kingdom hasn't changed in years and i've played sk many hours that i memorized the buttons. i trained myself to have a fast memory. This is why i suck at real time games like Genshin but i can keep up on Honkai Star Rail. I can't judge real time action because i can't see what's happening, but i don't need to aim March 7th's bow to land a shot on the enemy. I just click buttons that never move.

i memorize my keyboards, i still hate my iphone one because the keys are just a bit too small. I memorize which icon colors belong to what and i memorize url shortcuts. I memorize where the apps are on my phone. And i scream when HSR switched where the servers are in the main menu and i accidently log into the Taiwan server instead of the Europe server. I memorize which character icons go for what character so i can just look for black hair or red hair facing left or whatever.

and that, folks, is why i only ever play strategy and minecraft.

edit: "bvosually impaired" well my phone spelling's 10/10....

[zenathered]

I’m getting a new phone tomorrow. My iphone 6 (got my money’s worth out of it) got stuck in a low battery screen and no matter how long it was charging, it wouldn’t leave that screen.

The story should’ve just ended there. But I decided to look up “solutions” to fixing it. A lot of them were practical common sense solutions, like hold multiple buttons for resetting it. Those didn’t work. Then I saw one, that seemed... crazy to me. But my phone was dead, I was going to get a new one tomorrow. I have nothing to lose, I decide I’m a rebel, and any action I do from here is to spite fate and god. 

SO, I see the one “fix”. “Blow dry the back of your phone for 2 minutes.” I shrug. I’m getting a new phone tomorrow anyways, I decide, let’s get nuts. 

After about 40 seconds the phone might as well cook an egg on it, so I decide whoever wrote this was crazy, 40 seconds is enough. 

I plug in the phone and it BYPASSES the dead battery screen and it reboots. I can’t believe it, the phone springs back to life. 10% battery and it’s recharging again!

I Dr. Frankenstein’d my corpse of a phone. IT IS ALIVE!   

IT   IS    A L I V E ! ! ! !

So tomorrow I’m getting a new phone, but the blow dryer? Unexpected fix.

Sept. 2023 Apple iPhone Event

This year we are expecting the biggest change of all to be the transition from the Lightning port to USB-C ports on all iPhones and some iPhone accessories. The Pro models will see thinner bezels, a titanium frame, and the replacement of the mute switch for a new action button.

Let’s get started!!

Starters

Starting off with a typical video showcasing how Apple’s hardware improves lives, health and people’s connection to each other

Showing actual stories of people who’s lives have been saved by Apple Watch and iPhone features

Bets they show the people saved by the satellite feature during the Maui fires?

And right over to Tim Cook who confirms this event will revolve around iPhone and Apple Watch

Oh but first we’re starting with…

The Mac?

Recapping the introduction of 15" MacBook Air and Mac Pro earlier this year

macOS Sonoma launching on 9/26

Oh also mentioning the Vision Pro which still doesn’t have a launch date other than early next year

And that’s it I guess for Mac? Random.

Apple Watch

OH ITS pink

Oh HAND GESTURES TO CONTROL IT

SERIES 9

New S9 chip with faster CPU and GPU (this is the first actual big chip upgrade for the Watch since the Series 6)

Still sticking to 18 hours of battery life

Siri now processes requests on the Watch instead of relying on the Phone

Siri can also reference your health data for you on the Watch. Think “Siri, how long did I sleep last night?”

(Also reminder that Apple is removing the “hey” in “hey, siri”)

Watch can now more precisely tell you where your iPhone is using a new ultra wide band chip

Media suggestions pop up on the Watch when you approach a Homepod

Display is 2x as bright as the Series 8 and can get even darker for when you’re in environments like a theater

Double Tap

Series 9 can now recognize hand gestures to control the watch

Double-Tap controls the main button in apps. You can double tap your fingers together to answer or end a call. Scroll through widgets. Snooze an alarm.

It sounds like a small feature but actually expands the amount of time you can use the watch exponentially

Double-tap available next month

Series 9 Aluminum available in Pink, Starlight, Midnight, Silver and Product Red

Stainless Steel available in Gold, Silver, and Grahite

Starts at $399 for Aluminum model

Pre-Order starts Today, Available on 9/22

Environmentality

Environmental goals updatge. Starting with a cute video of Mother nature, played by the wonderful Octavia Spencer, visiting Apple Park and everyone (including Tim Cook) being very nervous.

Apple states they’re eliminating all plastic in their packaging by the end of next year.

No more leather in iPhone cases

Operating on 100% clean electricity in offices, data centers and stores

Y’all should watch this video once its uploaded just because the acting by Octavia is hilarious (2030 Status | Mother Nature | Apple - YouTube)

Net zero climate impact from Apple by 2030

Tim Cook and Octavia Spencer staring each other down for 30 seconds was not on my bingo card for today

Sport Loop is now 80% recycled materials

Apple will match 100% expected energy use of Series 9 with investments in clean energy projects

Series 9 packaging is 100& fiber based and smaller packaging so they can ship more with less effort

Claiming the Series 9 is apple’s first “carbon neutral” product

Apple no longer using leather in ANY of their products, starting today

New material called FineWoven that feels “suede-like”

Even Hermes is launching new environmentally friendly bands

Apple Watch Ultra 2

Also getting Double Tap feature

Display now goes up to 3000 nits, 1000 more than the Series 9

Very minor improvements across the board for this one

I think they mainly just needed to add the new chip and call it a day

Ultra 2 is 95% recycled titanium

Ultra 2 starts at $799

Pre-Orders available today; Available 9/22

All new models are carbon neutral depending on what band you get

iPhone 15

Dynamic Island makes its debut on the base model

6.1 and 6.7” OLED displays

Display can go up to 1600 nits of brightness for HDR Photos and videos, or 2000 nits in direct sunlight

Available in pink, yellow, green, blue and black

Now has c urved aluminm edges instead of the sharp edges of the 13 & 14 models

Has “ceramic shield” which is tougher than any smartphone glass so its built to last longer

100% recycled cobalt in the battery

They haven’t shown the bottom yet… it’d be hilarious if they just don’t tell people about the change in charging port

iPhone 15 Camera

New camera is 48mp. This was previously limited to the pro models last year.

Depending on the mode, it will be adjusted to 24mp

Pixels also allow for a 2x telephoto optical zoom option with 12mp resolution

Portrait mode getting improved colors and better performance in low light

If the camera detects a person or animal, it’ll automatically capture the data for a portrait photo without you switching modes. You can choose to make the photo portrait later on.

You can also switch the portrait photos subject after the photo is taken

Improved Night Mode & Smart HDR as well

iPhone 15 is getting the A16 chip, the chip used in last year’s iPhone 14 Pro; but with only 2 cores instead of last year’s 4 for the Pro

Battery size increased from last year but no specifics

OH TIME TO TALK ABOUT “CONNECTIVITY”

2nd Gen Ultra Wideband chip so it can connect to other devices that are farther away and make it easier to find your friends in crowded places

Better noise cancellation on phone calls so your voice stands out

Emergency SOS Satellite now available in 16 countries

Now adding Roadside Assistance via Satellite, partnering with AAA; free for AAA members

TIME TO TALK CABLES hehehehehe

Confirmed: iPhone 15 has USB-C

Earpods and AirPods Pro 2 also updated with USB-C

Confirming FineWoven iPhone and AirTag cases going on sale now to replace Leather accessories

iPhone 15 starts at $799; 15 Plus starts at $899

Pre-Orders start Friday 9/15; Available on 9/22

iPhone 15 Pro

iPhone 15 Pro now made out of titanium and Action button also confirmed

Lol “the most pro iphone we’ve ever created”

Titanium means these are the lightest pro models ever

New countoured edges and thinnest borders of an iPhone

Dimensions of phone smaller with the same display sizes as the 14 Pro models

“Toughest glass based materials in the industry”

Available in white, black, blue and “natural”

New architecture inside makes the device more repairable

Action Button

Still ring/silent switch by default but you can reprogram it to do things like open the camera, turn on the flashlight, start voice memos, etc.

A17 Pro Chip

The first 3nm chip in the industry

First iphone with USB-C speeds of 10gbps

They can do ray tracing on a phone now…

Kinda crazy to me how they always talk about how good gaming is on a battery driven iphone chip and they’ve made absolutely zero push to make gaming a bigger feature of the Apple TV

iPhone 15 Pro Camera

Camera time babbbyyyyy

Bigger 48 MP sensor to enable better low light performance

“equivalent of 7 camera lenses in your pocket”

Reduced lens flare (finally)

You can now choose a default lens size, including 24 mm, 28 mm and 35 mm focal lengths

2x better low light performance

Nightmode and Smart HDR seeing big improvements

15 Pro Max now gets 5x optical zoom; regular 15 Pro still at 3x optical zoom

Periscope lens utilized for the first time in Pro Plus to achieve that better zoom

USB-C allows faster transfer speeds and the ability to shoot video directly to an external device

The 15 Pro can record spatial video that you can then view only on your Apple Vision Pro… lol

New 6TB and 12TB iCloud plans announced to store more high quality photos and videos (at $29.99 and $59.99 per month, respectively)

iPhone 15 Pro starts at $999 for 128gb

iPhone 15 Pro Max starts at $1199 for 256gb

Pre-Orders start on Friday; Available on 9/22

Takeaways

That's a wrap on this event and rumors are saying it was Apple's last one of the year! If they do have anything else in store (there's a possible iPad Air refresh in the works or more devices with USB-C) it'll most likely just be done via press release.

For those following the rumor mill, there wasn't much surprising in this event except for maybe some of the camera specs. But if you're reading this you probably heard it all for the first time.

So now the question is, is upgrading worth it?

If you have any of last year's phones or watches my answer is short and sweet: No.

If you have older devices, the answer gets murkier. The iPhone 13 line from 2021 still holds up well against this lineup, but chances are you're noticing your battery doesn't hold up as long as it used to. The watch upgrades this year could be significant too depending on how old your model is.

Also chances are, there are no features on the Pro models of the iPhone or the Watch Ultra that you need. If you want to save money, chances are you won't notice much of a difference other than slightly better battery and display. A normal iPhone 15 model will last you a few years if you take care of it

Personally, I will not follow my own advice and will be upgrading my phone. I do it every year so please don't think this is anything special. I'll be getting the iPhone Pro Max in Blue with the base 256gb storage.

The watch is less of a sure fire thing. I think people tend to believe that I upgrade all of my Apple products often but the reality is I only splurge on a phone upgrade every year. My Watch is a Series 5 from 2019, my iPad is a 2018 iPad Pro and my laptop is a 2012 15" Retina Macbook Pro.

Four year seems like a decent amount of time between upgrades though and my watch's battery doesn't last as long as it used to so we'll see. If I do upgrade, it'll be the smaller silver stainless steel model.

OK. I think that's all. Let me know what questions or comments you have. Interested to see everyone's thoughts this year!!
