What are your thoughts on keeping an iPhone till it breaks. I have the original iPhone SE 64GB. The storage is so full that I don’t even know when I last got an ios update. It works well, except for an occasional crash. Battery isn’t the best, but I have chargers in key locations and when I’m out I don’t use it, so I rarely run out.

Everyone keeps telling me to update, but I don’t resonate with their arguments. So, good people of Reddit, should I just update now, or ride this one out and buy a new one when this breaks? Money is not an issue, but I don’t want to buy something I don’t need

I recently bought an iphone 16 pro. I have gone through ALL the settings, ik how to turn off HDR, the auto macro camera is off, that weird thing that takes a slow pic and randomly shows a plus sign on the screen (and then the pic comes out worse than anything ive ever seen in my life)...everything people say will help the quality of the pics. and make it easier to take them.

but there's no reason a pic of a dog sitting perfectly still should come out like this. my phone takes fucking forever to take a pic, it always comes out blurry, the camera ONLY focuses on the background (that in particular pisses me off beyond belief let me tell yall).

I take a lot of pictures every day constantly and this is genuinely ruining that for me

what the hell is wrong with this camera I paid so much money for😭😭

New ios 18.4 bug?

When looking in a folder, how does one know which app has the notification?

In this image, it seems like it is Apple TV, but believe me, it isn’t. I had the Apple Podcast app, and before it had the one on it. Then I deleted it and the one moved to the Apple TV 😳

How is this not set to fast by default. I just discovered you can set it to fast and its so good.

Took my 13 Pro in on Friday for a battery replacement, tech dropped the phone, chipped the sides and the screen whilst repairing.

It was an out of warranty repair so they charged me the price of the battery for a new handset. Took it away on Friday and noticed yesterday evening there was a dead pixel on the screen. I scheduled another appointment this morning and just got back.

The technician said they didn’t want to replace the screen as the phone was only a day old and would swap it out again. He went into the back and said they didn’t have any in stock and they would call me when they did to replace.

He was adding the notes to the case and he said the device was flagged and were not able to approve a new device likely due to it only being a couple of days old, but the senior technician wouldn’t carry out the repair. He said he would request the flag be removed and once it was they would order the new phone.

I asked how long it would take and he said maybe a couple of days or maybe a couple of weeks. I’ve checked the case number and it’s showing as closed. I’m getting a strange feeling I’ve been fobbed off. Anyone have any experience of something similar when having a phone swapped and what would be the best way of chasing this up if I don’t hear anything over the next week?

I spent around 3 hours in the store on Friday setting up the new phone because their WiFi was so slow and had a pretty poor experience with them so far.

After 8 years of using my iPhone 7 Plus, I finally bought the base iPhone 15 for inr ₹58k. I held onto the 7 Plus for so long because it is still fine for texting, calls, emails, and social media. Got the battery replaced locally and it easily lasts 7 hours. Also, I liked the home button and Touch ID.

Initial thoughts on the iPhone 15:

Display: it's a huge difference after coming from LCD. Deep blacks, vibrant colors, and the overall clarity is way beyond what I was used to.

Size & feel: Took time getting used to the size and new gestures of closing and switching apps.

Camera: Night and day difference. Low-light shots, sharper details, and more natural colors. It’s like I finally caught up to 2025.

Performance: Everything is super fast. Zero lag, smooth multitasking, and app switching is instant.

Battery life: lasts me all day with moderate usage

Dictation is turned on for everything but the little microphone in the corner is gone. I’m not very tech savvy, and googling hasn’t been helpful. I’m using an iphone 13 pro. Does the update require I have siri turned on to use speech to text? I have always had siri turned off and prefer to keep it that way, thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’ve read similar posts but with no solid answer, hopefully someone can help!

Every time I text my sister it goes as green, our settings are set correctly. This only happens when I text her. When she texts me, it goes as blue, her text activates the iMessage. This is frustrating because there are times the messages I send her that turn green, actually send or are followed with a red exclamation mark. I’m not sure what setting i’m missing or what I did wrong but it’s really annoying because it only happens when I text her, not anyone else! She has the iPhone 16 and and I have the iPhone 13.

I attached a picture of our chat to show what I mean, thanks in advance!

I'm thinking about buying a 16 base, mostly because it has 2 new buttons. I want to change the action button from silent switch to something else. How can i toggle the ringer without using the button? I have never muted/unmuted my phone using anything else but the silent switch

It’s been happening a few weeks ago and it goes back to normal after a second. The worst part is I can feel it popping back to normal in my ear. Does anyone have advice🙏

Got my new iPhone 16 pro last November. Never got wet or anything. Couple days ago it woke me up at like 3 am beeping like crazy due to liquid warning. So I unplugged it and checked the USB-C port next morning. Everything perfectly dry an clean. By now it keeps giving me this warning randomly when conneceted to a charger by USB-C cable. Tried different cables and bricks, including original Apple stuff. Tried switching the phone off and leaving it off for 30 min. Worked one day but today I got this warning again. For now I am using a MagSafe charger to avoid this. What could cause this issue? 100% sure the USB-C port of the phone ist perfectly dry and clean…the connectors of all used cables are perfectly dry as well. Is this a known issue caused by iOS 18.4 update which I installed last week?

Hi guys I bought a second hand phon. Brand new because I got everything repaired off the phone and my phone just randomly start turning off it’s like 1-30 times a day and sometimes get really hot. I went to a a repair shop and said there is nothing wrong with it. And I went to my analytics Data and always get the same pop up.

When I’m playing YouTube videos on my iPhone, or when an alarm rings on my iPhone, I sometimes have controls that pop up on my Apple Watch, but other times don’t. They’re not far away from each other, so I’m not sure what the conditions are for when I can and can’t control the phone from the watch. Thanks

Hi, I’ve been using Spigen cases for years and am currently using their Ultra Hybrid S case with my 16PM. I’m looking to get something else because of one main issue and another minor one.

The case doesn’t have much of a lip past the screen and in 2-3 months of usage, I’ve already broken the screen protector that came with my phone.

So, what I’m looking for is: something minimal/not too bulky but with more of a lip over the screen. I’d also like a case with a kickstand (both vertical and horizontal usage) and of course MagSafe.

Is anyone using something like this?

I recently changed my phone to USA and Siri as well (I’m Dutch) and doesn’t matter how I say hey siri it won’t answer just won’t anyone else have this?

There is a serious problem with accessibility mode. I made the font larger, but it seems to apply everywhere. Somehow my font became huge and unusable. The unlock screen only showed 2 numbers due to the zoom. Trying to shutdown and restart the phone ended up calling 911. The slider was also zoomed in such that I couldn’t swipe it far enough to turn it off. It was basically unusable, and at a time I really needed to use it. Eventually, by some miracle, I was able to power cycle it. Anyone experienced something similar?
