Here are my posts about iPhones.
In all relevant video recording apps on iPhones and Android phones, as same as in modern real cameras, there are video recording quality settings featuring resolutions such as 1080p and 4K and frames-per-second (fps) rates such as 24, 30, and 60. Here I’ll try to explain simply what they mean in practice.
(more…)In Safari browser on iPhones, the default file download folder location is iCloud Drive / Downloads. Yes, downloads from Safari are by default saved on remote iCloud servers, as opposed to the iPhone’s internal storage memory.

Here’s how you can resize or reduce dimensions of photos and images from your iPhone’s Photos and Files apps and consequentially reduce their file sizes. You can do that using Shortcuts scripts – simply, for free, and without installing 3rd party apps.

Today I tested how much different resolution and frame rate settings in video recording affect the battery life of an iPhone. The comparison was done on an iPhone 11. Video recording was done using all current resolution and frames-per-second (fps) settings available on the iPhone: 4K Ultra HD at 24, 30, and 60 fps, 1080p Full HD (named 1080p HD on the iPhone) at 60 and 30 fps, and 720p HD at 30 fps.
In order to turn automatic display brightness changing off, novice iPhone users usually go to the Display & Brightness section of iPhone’s Settings. However, the auto brightness switch isn’t there. It’s actually in the Accessibility section since iOS 11 version.
Switching between the Light and Dark modes on iPhones should be easy. You can toggle between the modes simply by opening Settings > Display & Brightness and in the Appearance section and tapping on either the default Light or on Dark. But you can encounter a problem when you try to switch back to Light mode from Dark mode, when iPhone won’t let you switch to Light mode. Selecting the Light option in the phone’s Settings (or via the Light / Dark switch in iPhone’s Control Center) doesn’t do anything in that case. And, there’s no any kind of warning to let you know what’s the problem.
If you can’t change the alarm volume on your iPhone, here’s what you should pay attention to.
Here’s a quick tip on how to disable clicking sounds while typing on the iPhone’s keyboard.
Unfortunately, the Gmail app on Android doesn’t let you permanently set All Inboxes as the default view when you open the app. Instead, the default is always the Primary inbox. If you set the view to see emails in All Inboxes, close the Gmail app at some point, and open it up again, the app will forget your choice and take you to the Primary inbox view instead.

(more…)Chrome is my iPhone and PC web browser of choice. For some time, I was looking for a solution to automatically sync bookmarks of Safari and Chrome web-browsers on my iPhone. Unsuccessfully. When using iPhone’s default Safari iOS app, I had had to manually send web pages (I wanted to keep and open later in Chrome) to Chrome bookmarks using the Safari’s share option.
