Any updates on which iPhones/IOS work, or any other general d:VICE news/thoughts? haven’t used mine since before the shutdown and will be using it soon!
I just ordered one and pre-covid got an ipod touch to use. Anything that supports a recent iOS and has a lightning connector will work AFAIK. I'm looking forward to this upgrade from recording onto minidisc many moons ago. It's been probably 10 years since I taped.

Getting started with a new d:vice and refurbished iPhone SE to use with DPA 4060s, and am trying to think through whether there's any advantage to using a different apple ID than I use for my regular phone. 

 I guess there would be a little bit of additional free cloud storage, but OTOH I already pay for plenty of storage for photos and w/ a separate AID there would be separate purchases for recording apps etc.

Is there anything I'm missing on this decision?  That "hello" setup screen is waiting for me to decide, and I lean toward just using my same apple ID, but maybe one of you has reasons why I shouldn't...?

Also, I am inclined to remove messages, mail, and any other apps that might generate notifications or interruptions of any sort.  Presumably if it's connected to wireless I could always re-download them from the cloud.  With cell service off and in airplane mode it shouldn't be an issue, right? 

If you are using a dedicated iOS device for recording, how do you have it set up?

I try to keep my “recording phone” as free of apps or anything running on it as possible. I don’t know that it’s truly necessary, if you didn’t do that just making sure other apps were closed and the phone being in airplane mode should probably be enough.

I have a dedicated iPod Touch 32GB. I bought it new, installed the required apps, and left everything else as is. No issues (other than operator error) so far.

I have a pair of DPA 4061s terminating in a single 3.5mm jack. Could I use them with the d:VICE if I got some sort of 3.5mm-to-dual microdot cable, or would I have to get the mics reterminated with microdots?

Yes! That's the sort of thing I had in mind. Can anyone see a reason why that wouldn't work?

Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B),

I'm thinking about doing the same thing that you did, buy a new, dedicated iPod Touch, probably a 128 GB version.  It sounds like everything was straightforward in using the iPod Touch for you.  Do you run this in a protective case (Otterbox, etc,)?  Thanks!

I don't run any case. Straight up 32GB iPod Touch. I can see the need to go with the 128GB model if you're going to stealth a multi-day festival, but 32 GB works for me. I know I'll never record more than 32 GB (or whatever is left over beyond the OS and apps) in a day, and then I can dump the files to my laptop at the end of the day.

How many hours of recording 24/96 CAF files does the ipod touch 7 battery get?  Assuming WiFi turned off, screen on but dimmed.

I've never tested it until the battery is dead, but I've gotten 4 hours of audio no problem. I think if I were at a festival or a show with a lot of bands I could easily plug in a USB battery between sets and make it until it was out of storage.

I'm spoiled.  I get 9 hours on an iPhone Xr, that's my target.  Can you get a battery life % left reading after 4 hours?  Six hours total would be comfortable if not ideal.
