In order to get my iPad to connect to my phone I have to take the phone out of my back pocket. I don’t have to unlock the phone or anything. Just take it out. If my phone is in my back pocket the iPad can’t detect the phone. Once the two are connected I can put the phone back into my bank pocket, and use the phone as a hotspot
Water is an excellent blocker of that signals frequency. The human body is like 80% water? Ergo you rear end where your back pocket is, will be good at blocking signal on the other side of you where ypur ipad is. Try a pocket in front of you to test that.
Who the heck puts their phone in their back pocket??
Young adults.
I’m 36, so thanks for calling me a young adult. Wallet left, phone right. Keys front right cash front left.
Same age, I don’t put anything on my back pockets, ever. It’s awfully uncomfortable and you risk breaking whatever you put there sitting on it. It also protects my hip and lower back.
Oh yeah I don’t sit on them. Had an S4 at one point and broke the digitizer sitting on the phone, so now it’s very habitual, remove phone and wallet, place phone on table, place wallet on phone. Obviously it’s situationally dependent. If I ride a rollercoaster they go in front pockets.
