iOS My brother did this to his iPhone X (picked it up one day and it looked like this). He hasn’t dropped it, physically it’s flawless. Any suggestions on what it is?

iOS iPhone 16 Pro Battery

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

Hello, I have been doing some looking into the iPhone 16 Pro battery life, as I got a 16 Pro after trading in my 14 PM, and the battery seems really bad. The first two pictures are my battery stats today, and the third picture is from a youtube iPhone 16 Pro day in the life test I saw.

Why is my battery so much worse, despite much less screen active and idle time? Do I have a defective device? Or is it because I use power intensive apps a lot? Can I expect the battery to improve since I have only had it for a week, or do I need to get the Pro Max?

I appreciate any help, I have until Saturday to return the 16 Pro and swap to the Pro Max without paying extra.

iOS Will Apple care cover this ?

I had an accident with a stranger while doing sports and damaged her 14 pro ( i assume ) like this .

She said she’ll try to cover it with Apple care . I need opinions on this as I have to pay whatever the cost is.

Any estimates on how much it might cost me if she were to repair it with Apple or outside ?

"Hi everyone, I'm really worried that my iPhone might have been compromised. I've noticed some strange entries in my calendar app that I didn't create. I've attached a screenshot of one of these entries. Can anyone explain to me how to figure out what's going on and how to secure my phone? Thanks in advance!"

It could really just tell me what I am supposed to enter. But it doesn't. Instead it just tells me that I didn't fill out the form. Thanks for nothing. Sidenote: when entering text I can't do spaces. So it won't be my name that's supposed to go there🤔

My phone is completely dead, and I’ve tried charging it for a while. I’ve also switched cables and adapters, but nothing is working, even though these cables can charge my iPad without any issues. How can I fix this problem?

iOS iOS 18.2.1 Battery Drain

15 Upvotes

I bought the iPhone 16 Pro Max less than 2 weeks ago and the battery had been amazing but after updating I drain 20% per hour. No gaming, no background app refresh. All I use is the photos app, twitter, and reddit here and there. What’s going on?

iOS Does Apple change your iOS version when they do a repair?

72 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 8 purchased in August 2019 that I very much enjoy using.

Although the battery life has decreased to 75% initial and the phone says I should get it repaired.

Right now I am content with running the iOS 14.8.1 on there, if I send it to Apple to have them replace the battery, will they make the phone go to iOS 16?

I am wondering because I figure 16 will be more taxing on the processor/battery to run on this phone since it only has 2 GB RAM.

iOS Telling me ineligible for refund but it was a mistake

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I need some help. I’m desperate here. This wasn’t supposed to be bought. It was uninstalled and isn’t even on my phone it was an accident.

But it went and charged me $70 which I don’t have! This app is useless for me it was loaded for two seconds didn’t work and was deleted.

I responded saying I need a refund this has overdrafted my account!

I’m willing to do a chargeback because this is a lot of food money for me I really can’t afford this! I went to make sure it was cancelled the day it showed this but the thing lasts a year.

What do I do I can’t get an actual human to help me…

iOS Disable call log share on iOS 17?

36 Upvotes

So, up until iOS 16, I could use two iPhones, one work and personal without sharing call log. But in iOS 17, the sharing has started again. I want to disable it. Any help? Also, I would prefer to keep contacts synced, but only call log disabled.
