    Better battery usage

    For at least a month now, I have noticed my iPhone 15 Pro doesn't use as much battery power despite using it all day. At the end of the workday, I have much more battery left. Did a recent update fix a battery-wasting bug?

    Other iPhone Storage Poll

    Most people I see on here complain about 128GB storage being an option, so what do you guys have? For me, 128 GB is fine since I have iCloud 2 TB I would assume most people buying an iPhone usually choose 128GB, but maybe I'm wrong

    I bought my mother, an Android user, her first iPhone about 7 days ago in the USA from an Apple Store. We bought it with a monthly AppleCare+ plan. On Day 2, my mother dropped the phone and it shattered the front screen. We made a Genius Bar appointment on Day 3 and the phone screen was...

    They love it!!

    Man….everyone I’ve showed iOS/iPadOS and MacOS absolutely loved it… It’s funny how the general public reacts compared to the niche community that we are!! (By general public I mean the people around me that do not care about this as much as us) I think Liquid Glass might be it, in comparison...

    older fingers on iPhone

    My wife is 72 and has arthritis. Today I handed her my iPhone 15 Pro to take a picture and she had to hit the onscreen shutter button a couple of times before it took a picture.

    Sonos and Spatial Audio

    After heavy considerations I decided to go with several Sonos Era 300 devices. Friendly members suggested to install more traditional devices but I opted for a smart device. The reviews on Sonos era 300 were awesome and the devices were said to outshine Apple’s HomePod. The use case were to be...

    iPad How can I watch the Spectrum live tv streaming app on my iPad from my iPhone?

    While I'm driving in my car I can watch live tv on my iPhone, streamed on the Spectrum app. I works great! I wish there was a way to display and watch the app on my iPad via cable or wireless transfer from my iPhone. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? I could probably go and buy...

    iMessage vrs SMS

    This is an "I give up" query. My brother has had an iPhone for many years, as have I. For whatever reason, texts between us always go via SMS. He recently got a second iPhone, and that one also only "does" SMS. To see if the problem was on my end I deleted my brother's entry from Contacts...

    Grindr, a gay dating app, has a new 'Boost' feature. Subscribers can pay a one-time $14.99 fee to boost their profile for two hours. I often boost my profile by double-pressing the side button, which says, 'Purchase successful. You're all set.' However, the Boost does not happen. It can take 3...

    iPhone as an appliance, with clear boring UI

    As an iPhone user, who is really into photography both on the phone and various other cameras, I want my iPhone to be a very powerful tool where the UI ‘gets out of the way’ as much as possible whilst I perform my desired tasks. The UI should be a thin, minimal layer that I notice as little as...

    What are some underutilized features or uses of a modern iPhone?

    In the modern world, your smartphone is essentially your passport to everything you do or need on the daily -- your alarm clock, your wallet, your map, and well... your phone.

    iPhone Does Safari on iOS automatically access to all bookmarked websites secretly?

    Does Safari on iOS/iPadOS automatically (secretly) access to bookmarked websites when I open Safari in background? If so, for what purposes? Having checked the macOS' Safari activities with a third-party app, it seems that when I open Safari on macOS, Safari automatically connects (sending...

    iOS 18.5 Mail blank screen, frozen

    Starting yesterday (June 4), when I open the iOS Mail app, the Inbox (and other mailbox folders) does not populate, remains blank. I can go to the Mailbox list, and enter Inbox, but after a few moments it locks up, and the only recourse is to force close Mail. I’m not alone - friends started...

    Iphone Mirroring on Mac

    Hi, I was really looking forward to the iPhone mirroring function - but this functionality just seems so scrappy - great when it works but most of the time it fails to connect with one or several errors. Is it me, or is there a knack to getting this setup and working reliably. Thanks
