    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...

    iPhone 14 Pro Setting 17 Pro to silent

    I’ve just bought an iPhone 17 Pro as an upgrade from a 14 Pro. I’m delighted with it but find that the only way to set it to silent is with the Action button. If I use the Control Centre to set silent, I still get notification and keyboard sounds. This would be fine but I’d like to use the...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max Nobody talking about the 7MP selfie photos of the iPhone 17s?

    Playing around with the new selfie camera, I have noticed that if you take photos with the normal view, not the wide angle one, the selfie camera shots 7MP photos which are obviously worse then even a lot older iPhones and nobody seems to complain about this thing, I often feel that the full...

    Orange! It's everywhere!

    Ever since the announcement of an orange iPhone, I have noticed the color orange popping up everywhere. What the hell? Orange car. Someone wearing an orange shirt. Orange this orange that. Maybe I just never really noticed that color until now. I'm sure there's a psychological explanation for...

    iPhone 17 You can buy only one this year, either the iPhone 17 or the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Which one would you choose?

    You can buy only one this year, either the iPhone 17 or the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Which one would you choose? Well, of course, you are just an ordinary person, not an extreme athlete. I'd like to have the Ultra 3, as I wear a watch all day long, but I don't really need to get rid of my Xiaomi...

    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...

    Other [UK] Transfer iPhone purchase to upgrade program?

    I bought a 17 Pro outright (pre-order) from the Apple Store in central London last week and now I want to transfer it to the upgrade program. When I went to the store yesterday, they said I’ll have to return my current phone and get a new one, but there’s no possibility to reserve it online and...

    iPhone Air Had iPhone 5 days - website says items not elligible for return?

    Just went to the Apple website and my iPhone air and MagSafe battery I collected on the launch day are showing as not eligible for return? The AirPods that were delivered the same day are showing as eligible though. Glitch on their system? I’m way within the 14 day return window, not sure if...

    Carrier Want to Exchange iPhone 17 Pro Max 256 GB and get the 512 GB—How to Keep My AT&T Bill Credits?

    I bought a iPhone 17 Pro Max 256 GB at my local Apple Store a few days ago and used Apple’s AT&T carrier financing/trade-in deal. My old iPhone 13 Pro Max was traded in on the spot, and I’m getting $1,100 in AT&T bill credits spread over 36 months. Here’s the twist: since purchase I’ve taken up...

    iPhone 16 Pro Battery Life Now TERRIBLE with iOS 26

    Has anybody else with an iPhone 16 Pro noticed that battery life is terrible since updating to iOS 26. The battery drains so fast now. I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 on the first day that the software was available. So it's been well over a week. This can't be the new normal in terms of...

    iPhone Air Help from USA Verizon users pleas.

    I travel frequently to the USA from the UK. I have a US mobile sim on their Verizon network. On my iPhone 16p I had it in the sim slot and my UK sim was eSIM. When I ordered the sim I had to give my iPad imie because they said the iPhone wasn’t compatible. I guess they have a database of imie...

    Is it better to update using Finder/iTunes vs over the air?

    Just curious. What method do you all use to update your phones to the new iOS? iTunes/Finder or over the air? I'm a bit old school and still update my phone using Finder on my Mac. I usually wait about a month or so after the release to update and opted for 18.7. There have been several...

    Show us your iPhone ios26 home screen

    I’ll go first. I16PM.
  18. Mostly Adequate

    iOS26 is an actively hostile user experience for disabled and/or visual impaired users.

    This iOS26, on the iPhone 16 at least, is very very bad for disabled people and anyone with visual problems. It obviously hasn’t been trialed with disabled people, or taken any of a wide range of disabilities into account in its design – if they had, most of the Liquid Glass and “frosted glass...

    iPhone 17 Pro USA iPhone 17 Do Not Use Carrier Deals

    Carrier deals are not great because your monthly plan usually costs more since you have to choose a higher plan. I have the T-Mobile Essentials plan, aka the cheapest unlimited plan, and I would rather just buy my phone outright on the Apple site and trade in my iPhone each year at Apple and...
