I can't see that there is anything stuck in the port or any gunk that needs clearing out.


I’d get a cocktail stick and see if there is anything to come out anyway. I had a similar issue, headphones kept cutting out as did my charger, couldn’t see anything in the port but got a bit out of there and it’s worked fine since, I do clear it out every few months just to keep on top of it.


Cheers, I've tried that and no joy, the headphone and charging connectors just won't go fully into the port.

Looks like a trip to a bloody Apple store then, hopefully it's a quick fix as I'm only on 53% battery and can't charge :x

I ran over to the Apple store and the bloke pulled an unbelievable amount of fluff from my hole.

It now works again, panic over!

Does anyone use different tips for their AirPods Pro? Loving the connectivity and the ANC/transparency is phenomenal but I don't find them overly comfortable.

I got memory foam ones from Amazon for a few quid. Comes with three different sizes.

I’ve fallen right into the Apple ecosystem now. The device synergy is just too strawberry floating good. In addition to the iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods Pro and iPad Pro I already had, just in the last week I added a MacBook Pro, HomePod Mini, an AirTag for my keys, an Apple News+ subscription and ditched Spotify for Apple Music.

They got me good

Thought I was bad with my MacBook Air and iPhone 12 :lol:

Have you looked at Apple One? It's 14.99 for all of apple's services. Arcade, Music, AppleTV, Fitness, News+ and 50GB of iCloud storage.

Yeah, I have some free months to burn on some of the individual services before I just get the all in one subscription. Apple Music was always the thing to put me off it in the past, because Spotify’s algorithms for discovery are so good. But now, I’m not so sure that’s what I’m looking for. My listening habits were so algorithm-driven on Spotify that any time I had a genre kick for a week, the positive feedback loop just set me on a path further and further down that hole, and I’d find myself both at saturation point with that genre, and I’d also find that I totally miss out on huge new releases from outside that area.

Apple’s service seems to feel more curated, and there’s something about the live stations with DJs that just seems… better? Like, just feeding me stuff based on what I listened to a lot is likely to give me music that I also like the sound of, but it’s not necessarily going to be *good* music, or music that I can enjoy with others.

My list of Apple stuff is pretty shocking:

M1 Mac Mini
Intel MacBook Pro
2014 MacBook Air
iPad Air & Pencil
Apple Watch Series 4 44mm
AirPods
AirPods Pro
AirPods Max
AirTag
Apple Arcade sub
Apple Fitness+ sub

I think Spotify is the one service I'd never ditch due to the compatibility with my TV, Sonos One, PS5, Chromecast etc. Plus I've been on it for years way back when it was invite-only so I've got so many playlists and liked songs on there.

Importing stuff across the services is a piece of cake now, and Apple Music (like Apple TV+) is finding its way in to more and more stuff. Google/Nest Home devices have native support of it, while Spotify refuses to natively support HomePod. But they’ve beat Spotify to lossless audio, and Atmos spatial audio.

The only real disappointment with it I have had in the past is the fact that it’s a little more fiddly to use my watch as a remote for the music playing on another device, but that’s because the watch can also play stuff completely independently with no phone at all. So at the point that you interact with the watch app you have to make a point of specifically telling it where you want the music to play.

The lyric support in the phone app is really something. Timed to perfection for each line, and you can just scrub the lyrics and touch what you want to hear and it will jump to that part of the song. Decent for some rap & hip hop tracks where you didn’t quite catch a bar or two so you want to hear it back again
