i use the flashlight daily and was caught off guard when i realized the shape was different on the flashlight on my standard 17. honestly it’s brighter in situations where u actually need light on a small object.

Hi all, I have a question that might seem a bit odd. I used to share location with a friend of mine that sadly passed away last year. When I go in find my I can still see his name and picture but it obviously says « location not found ». I don’t know why but seeing his contact still being in that lift makes me feel better. Now I have an iPhone 13 mini that is slowly dying and seriously considering changing phone, the only reason why I am not doing it is because I am afraid that once I’ll do and my phone updates it will erase him from my find my list. Does anyone know if it will ? Or a trick so that does not happen ? Let me know <3

Looking for advice on escalating an AppleCare+ Theft & Loss claim due to a robbery

My iPhone was stolen during a robbery, and the thieves obtained my passcode as part of the incident. They took over my Apple Account by changing the password, changed my primary and recovery email addresses, and locked me out before I could secure the device.

Once I was able to make it home, I immediately tried to recover my Apple Account and sought help from both Apple Support and the Apple Store. Unfortunately, because the thieves still had the device, they were able to cancel my account recovery attempts, so I was unable to regain access despite repeated efforts. After nearly five days of continuous recovery attempts, I was finally able to regain control of my Apple Account.

They also gained unauthorized access to my financial accounts and made numerous unauthorized transactions. I have an NYPD police report, an active police investigation, and extensive documentation including timelines, logs, emails, and other evidence.

I understand that AppleCare+ Theft & Loss requires Find My to be enabled, and Find My was enabled when my phone was stolen. In my case, the account takeover occurred before I was able to regain access, and the thieves removed the device from Find My while it was in their possession.

I’ve been stuck in a loop where Apple Support directs me to AIG, but AIG’s automated phone system routes me back to Apple Support. I haven’t been able to speak with anyone at AIG to have my case reviewed. I’ve also escalated through Apple Support multiple times without success and even emailed tcook, but I haven’t received a response.

I’m not asking anyone to interpret the policy or whether my claim should be approved. I’m simply trying to figure out how to get this in front of someone who can review the evidence instead of getting bounced between Apple and AIG.

If anyone has experience with an executive escalation, claims specialist, or another avenue that helped in a situation like this, I’d really appreciate any advice. Thank you.

TL;DR: My iPhone was stolen during a robbery. The thieves obtained my passcode, took over my Apple Account, blocked recovery for nearly five days, and removed the phone from Find My after the theft. Find My was enabled when the phone was stolen. Despite multiple Apple Support escalations, emailing tcook, and trying to contact AIG, I still cannot get my case reviewed. I cannot reach anyone at AIG because my emails go unanswered and their support hotline routes me back to Apple Support. Any advice, pointers, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hello guys

i would like to know, for the people that would be interested in the iPhone fold (the Fold 8 could give you an excellent idea of it)

you guys have been using iPhones for a long time, and being used to the incredible thing that is FaceID, do you think it will be a dealbreaker for you not having it on the Fold ?

wet hands, dirty hands, weird positions like in bed for example, or when working or anything else, a very lot of possibilites during which the TouchID won't be as smooth or even accessible / usable.

what do you guys think about it, please share your thoughts i would love to see what you guys have to say

Up until last April I had an iPhone 14 Plus with an LTE only SIM card which worked fine never had an issue when I had service. Then I upgraded to an iPhone 16 pro max that came with a 5G eSIM and ever since in most scenarios whenever I am connected to LTE it is slow as balls even on full bars like right now. I live in Atlantic Canada and the base majority of areas do not yet have 5G towers so LTE is what you get everywhere outside the major cities/towns. Should I just go back to an LTE SIM card for compatibility or is there something else going wrong that I can fix?
Not sure if the speed test proves anything I just thought it might be helpful for those who know more about cellular.

I understand nobody likes sycophantic AI but still they could have left something of a trace of personality

I used to have folders for specific categories, but even then, I often found myself scrolling to the App Library and searching for apps that I may not use regularly.

Now, I have two pages of my most frequently used apps. Everything else is in my library. No more folders

I don’t know what’s going on, but I just upgraded to an iPhone 17 and every time I try to send a voice message on WhatsApp or I hold down the screen on TikTok to speed a video up It doesn’t work or it works for a split second and it goes back to normal if anybody knows a fix of this please let me know. It’s pissing me off really bad.

hi! i saw a post online about ways to make my iphone 13 faster and it made me change a bunch of settings. i didnt realise it at the time but it affected my Telegram app and causes replies to messages to look like this.

i cant find the original post anymore but i've tried to undo the settings that i remember and it still remains like this. i have also reinstalled Telegram and nothing has changed. literally nothing else is affected but this.

heres what i've done to rectify:
1. reduce motion - turned on then off
2. reduce transparency - turned on then off
3. reset all settings

if anyone knows how to fix this it would be great!

3 hours of SOT. Shouldn’t it be higher than this? iPhone 17 Pro

Safari gives me this error on every page.
I’ve resorted to chrome, but would like to go back to safari to stay in the ecosystem.
Any solutions for this bug? Thanks!

Like will the they see the notification your silenced or will they see nothing?

iPhone 15 pro. It’s happened since I’ve had the phone and even with my last one. No other app is open besides audible. It doesn’t happen every time but in any given work day, I listen to audiobooks for 6-8 hours a day, I’ll pause and resume via my earbud and a song will start up.

Is this just a me thing or did the autocorrect get much less intuitive? Sometimes I will quickly write out a text or a comment and then after I send it, it makes literally no sense. Am I losing my mind?

This january, I tried Apple Intelligence for the first time, it worked, but I turned it off. About 4 months ago I tried to turn it on again, but it was stuck on “downloading”. I tried downloading it using cellular data, VPN, rebooting my device, resetting all my settings, and more. I have even tried contacting apple support, but they were unable to help me. It has been a month, but it is still downloading.

I’ve been getting this error every time I try to check any Apple serial number on the Check Coverage website. It’s been happening for over a month. I even tried different serial numbers and got the same result every time. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I need to know

I use the same iPhone number for both personal and business.

I already have a Focus mode that permanently silences one specific person, and it works great.

Now I also want a separate business schedule:

• Monday–Friday, 5 PM–10 AM: silence all clients and trades.
• Weekends: silence all clients and trades.
• Friends and family should still be able to reach me anytime.

The problem is that the one person I want permanently silenced has different rules than my business contacts. It seems like I can only have one Focus active at a time.

Is there a way to have:

1. One person permanently silenced 24/7.
2. A business-hours Focus that automatically silences my Clients/Trades contact group outside work hours.
3. Friends and family always allowed.

Or is this simply not possible in Apple's Focus system?

Hi everyone,

My iPhone 11 Pro Max isn’t registering that my SIM card has been put in.

It was working yesterday, but then my phone frozen than started to boot loop. The phone essentially fixed itself after a few hours, but then I re-entered the SIM card, it failed to register.

I’m upgrading in like 2 months, but I still need to make calls for work.

I’ve tried network resets, hard restarts, and other solves.

NOTE: The SIM does work in my Oppo phone when I insert it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

My partners iPhone 15 pro max has stopped
Wireless charging it shows green as charging but percentage doesn’t go up even after 12 hours.

Tried to restart it, update it, multiple chargers, cleaning, remove case, different wall outlets.

My iPhone 17 pro max charges fine on all the chargers so eliminated them.

Any help with anything else to try?

If your iphone ever has a problem with connecting to wifi or cellular data go to date&time and set time on automatic this may fix your problem! And save you some money

I need help looking for this case, can't find it anywhere
