    iPhone 17 How is the 17's battery life so solid?

    I know battery life is difficult - so many things affecting it on a person to person basis. But I've probably watched 12-15 different battery comparisons now, and I don't fully understand how in so many of those tests (not all) the 17 is actually very close to the 17 Pro, who's battery (e-sim)...

    iPhone 17 iPhone 17 front camera green tinted coating

    Does anyone here know if this is normal or not? I don’t remember seeing on my previous white iPhone 17. Could it be because this one has LG GVC panel where the previous white one has the Samsung G9Q panel? Or it could be just a defective front camera? Already try to compare and both phone...

    iPhone 17 iPhone 17 camera lens different tinted colour

    Can y’all see it too? The mist blue iPhone 17 is manufactured in September while the white iPhone 17 is launch day batch which is manufactured in July. Any thoughts on this? BTW the white one have Samsung G9Q display and the blue one has LG GVC panel.

    Wireless continuity camera not working in a FaceTime

    Hello folks, since already a year I am facing a struggle to get my iPhone camera wireless pop up in FaceTime settings as an option. It works only via USB. Both devices using same AppleID, they are on the same Network. Other continuity features work without hiccups. My Mac is mini M4 base...

    Are you using a screen protector?

    I’ve always been using a screen protector on my 13pm and 15pm, and didn’t really bother because in a case I never felt the edges of them. But now the 17pm just feels so good in the hand that I often like to carry it without a case and the sharp edge of my otherwise brilliant torras screen...

    Micro lag iPhone 17 running iOS 26.01

    Is it just me or you also experience some microlags while slowly scrolling text through pages? I notice it mainly when I’m on Instagram, but also on Safari some pages seem not to be fully optimized. I can’t understand if it’s a problem of my iPhone 17 or just the iOS version, so before calling...

    Here's what happens when you mirror a new iPhone to a non-updated Mac...

    On my M1 MacBook Air, I recently set up iPhone Mirroring with my new iPhone 17. My Mac (I know, I need to update) is running Sequoia 15.4.1, obviously predating the 17s. So I expected iPhone Mirroring to either throw up an error or be really glitched - but it isn't. It works perfectly. Except...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max iPhone 17 Pro Max hot to the touch

    My new, one week old, iPhone 17 Pro Max is almost always warm to the touch, even when it has been unused for a longer amount of time it feels warm when I pick it up. So far I have used it for scrolling the web with Safari, organizing the home screen, some social media, mail, taking a few photos...

    New anti consumer design? - Battery Usage

    So. Stone me for calling it what I did. But only if you can tell me 1. why we needed a completely new design for the battery usage pane in Settings and 2. how it is actually meaningfully better than before. I admit the previous pane wasn’t too helpful either, especially when it was buggy and...

    iPhone Air iPhone Air w/ Telephoto Lens Would've Been Killer

    Looking into iPhones 17 this year to upgrade my 12 Mini. Went to the nearest store and played around with the phones. Overall very impressed with what Apple had done with the 17s. The base model iPhone 17 is solid but alas no Telephoto lens, which makes sense given it's price point. But...

    TechWoven cases no longer eligible for return

    Apple's general return policy is to accept something within 14 days of receiving it. However, when I try to initiate a return for my TechWoven case, Apple's website says it's no longer eligible. Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

    iPhone 17 Base iPhone 17 - the sleeper hit of the year

    Yesterday I visited my local apple store and tried out all the latest iPhones. With all the excitement around the iPhone Air, I feel that the standard 17 is not getting the attention it deserves. While the form factor of the base iPhone 17 lacks innovation (and therefore excitement), there are...

    Does anybody know whether Apple’s latest iPhones (17 line and Air), all using the custom N1 chip (with Bluetooth 6 amongst other things), will work with Dexcom G7 or One+ sensors?

    iPhone 17 iPhone 17 is coming. Are you getting one?

    iPhone 17 is on the way. I still can't decide if I want to upgrade from my 16PM or not. There's no standout reason to, other than why not.
