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

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😭😭

So I’ve had my phone since November. Been in a case and screen protector since day one. Never had any crazy drops or water damage at ALL. I baby my phone and it’s in mint condition. However it’s developed a black spot at bottom edge of screen.

Since there’s zero physical damage to the phone this is something they will replace the screen under warranty correct?

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 😳

i'll change my phone in august, which model should i get? also what other stuff do i need to get with the phone (accessories and shit), lmk cuz its my first time switching from samsung to apple.

New ios 18.4 bug?

I updated my iPhone 15 to the latest update earlier this morning and I’ve been getting this message all day, I’ve restarted the phone, reset all network and so forth and still can’t pick anything up. If it helps I’m on a military base but I usually get service from T- mobile anyways on the base, but it’d just be considered T-maybe depending on what part of base.

I met this girl at a festival 11 years ago and for some inexplicable reason her email always comes up as a suggested email address. I have no idea why as I’m not sure I’ve ever even contacted her. How can I remove it?

I had my phone stolen in Colombia about three weeks ago. Back home now, have a new phone so have no need to get this one back but someone is calling and messaging me on whatsapp saying they have it (they sent a photo and it is my phone). He said I gave him my number when I lost it (in the area I did have it stolen), I don’t remember doing this. He said that someone handed it in to his business with a passcode to unlock (the password was wrong)? I am quite suspicious that they’re trying to scam me in some way, get me to send money to get it back or something? Is this a common scam? It just seems a bit odd and like a lot of effort… I tried to erase it too but it still says erase pending, I also got multiple Facebook notifications when it first happened saying someone was trying to log in using my phone number.

iPhone 13 mini screen

On Friday, I was using my iPhone 13 mini and randomly the screen started to glitch, and then went black. Two days later, this is what the screen does. The indicator shows no water damage, and the battery was at 78% capacity. I have no idea what the problem is, and if anyone has any helpful insight I would greatly appreciate your input. I live about 200 miles from an Apple Store, so the only option would be to send it in for repair, but we don’t even know what repair to ask for. We have tried to hard reset it, put it in recovery mode, and nothing has worked. I believe the battery is dead now, but before that, you could feel vibrations, phone calls would go directly to voicemail, you could see it on find my phone, and if you held down the power and volume button, the 911 alarm would go off. Is this something that would be recoverable, or is my phone done for LOL?

Thinking about getting an iPhone 16e, all the reviews complain about slow wireless charging (Qi vs. Qi 2).

How often do people even need fast wireless charging, though?

Almost everybody I know charges their phone overnight while they're asleep. Does it matter if the phone takes 4 hours to charge instead of 2 hours, or whatever?

For the occasional situation where you need a quick top-up during the day, surely most people would be happy to plug the phone in to get even FASTER charging than what you get with "fast" wireless charging... ?

I’m trying to adjust the camera settings for when I record videos but when I go to adjust this is the screen I get. There’s no options to change anything just a bunch of apps currently using the camera.

It gave me this notification then I had downtime even tho it’s not enabled

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

I don't even regularly use this app but it stocks up on storage this much. It's annoying to have and for years I've tried removing it myself but it just doesn't work.

Anyone got a clue on how to deal with this?

I am wondering if anyone else has this issue or a fix. The album art for my music on my phone is never right. It is another Artist, podcast cover, sometimes a random music video still but never the artist or album its supposed to be even when its correct on my computer. Its only correct only works for music downloaded directly from iTunes but not ripped from CDs. It's really frustrating to organize everything on my comp for it to forever and a day be a mess on my phone. It's been messed up for years and across different phones.

I've been searching for a way to transfer whole folders not files from to PC to iPhone because moving files and organizing them all over again will take too much time, I searched everywhere for a way from "Apple Devices" but I couldn't find any though I didn't think the answer would be that easy so I'll share it with you since I didn't find it anywhere here..

1-Download Apple Devices and open it.
2-Connect your phone with a USB cable.
3-Your device should show up then go to "Files" section.
4-You must have an app that have an Application Folder in your Files app like Spotify, Outplayer or anything like that then you just have to choose it just like I've chosen Spotify here.
5-Open your windows Explorer side to side with the Apple Devices and just choose the folders you want to transfer and drag them into the Application Folder you've chosen in the last step.
P.S: Make sure your phone's auto lock is "Never" so you won't face any problems.

This way is pretty easy forward and you can move multiple folders or just one by just choosing them and dragging them, I've moved over 20 GBs of Pictures and Videos Folders and it worked flawlessly.
I hope this post could be of any use to someone now or later.
