I have a fairly new Apple Watch, and just noticed that it's causing discoloration of my skin in the pattern of the sensors. It doesn't hurt, it basically looks like sunspots in a circular pattern just outside each sensor on the back of the watch. I've googled it relentlessly and can't find anything like this. When I contacted Apple ( I want to return the watch as this is concerning to me)....they initially acted concerned and elevated me to Fred in their safety division....and then, radio silence and they refuse to respond to me. Anyone else have this issue with their watch?

Hey, I've got a question about iPhone charging safety. If I borrow someone's original Apple charger and lightning cable, is there any risk of transferring viruses or compromising my data security? Can using another person's charging gear pose any potential threats to my device? Sorry for this (probably stupid) post but my brain doesn't seem to allow me a peaceful sleep until I find the answer. Have a nice day !

So I just bought a new Tucson a week ago. Today, I got the Hyundai Dealer survey. The sale person was talking about it a lot and even sent me the cheat sheet on how to fill it out, but I thought I would rather be fair. I gave the part related to the sale person pretty much 9-10 because he is great. But the survey also ask about dealership and finance department. Those got like 7-8 because the finance was a bit pushy and the dealership force me to take the PULSE thing. Now, after I filled it out, the sale person texted me and said I "screwed" him over the survey and sound pissed. I didn't know the whole survey would affect him that much. Am I doomed now? Should I even still try to get any services from this dealer? I am afraid they would mark me down and not playing fair now. Also, why would the survey not anonymous?

Edit: I probably make it sounds too bad, so this is what he actually texted: "Hey xxx, unfortunately you screwed me on the survey so I will no longer be honoring the free car washes and so forth. I sent you the cheat sheet and said if there is anything that I can do for you, I would rectify it outside the survey because it affects how I get paid.

Thank you for the business XXX"

Edit2: I did apologize a couple times because I feel bad for the guys, but thinking about it again make me realize that it was not professional of him to do that. And I shouldn't feel like I owed him anything else since I was being honest. It is not my fault the survey only affect him even when I gave him some good scores. In the end after a bunch of apologies from me, he said "It's water under the bridge now, send someone my way and when they buy a car, make sure they fill out a perfect survey" And no way I would do it after he talked to me like that. Will try to contact the corporate.

Good Afternoon,

I believe I know the answer to the first part of my question but I’m always open to learning. Is it possible to connect 2 Apple Watches to each other for monitoring?

Secondly, if it is possible, does your cellular company (Verizon) monitor and notify the other watch wearer if the elderly person wearing one of the watches falls and call an ambulance?

For context, I believe my darling sister in law is financially abusing my mother in law, and to me it seems like SIL has convinced MIL to buy each other them a watch in case she falls, she has convinced her that SIL will be alerted that MIL has fallen and that Verizon has contacted an ambulance.

This could be true, and I’m missing out on some great features I’d like to try out :)! I appreciate any and all answers. Thank you!

I know what you are thinking:- 1) Stupid Question and 2) Why haven’t I updated in so long.

Well , the last time I updated an apple device, it was dimwittedly slow, kept deleting and corrupting files, and a while after the Startup disk malfunctioned, it was hopeless and it had to be powered with a USB stick.

I don’t want something similar happening to my iPhone.

I’m a med student, a porn addict and a serious procrastinator. I either chat a lot or scroll mindlessly on my devices.

So I chose to lock away my iPhone and iPad during my prep time. Since I need to study I’ll prefer the old methods but the problem I’ll run into is accessing the internet to know the meanings of terminology used in my text book.

really there’s no google app where I can dictate or there’s no browser app where I can type on my watch. I don’t wanna search in medical dictionary each time I find something hard to understand. I saw a shortcut for accessing Wikipedia web on watch so do help me.

I recently moved to Safari from Chrome on my Mac, and it's very annoying when I open a new tab and need to sign in again while I'm private browsing.

I use private mode frequently for signing into accounts that use my work email, so it gets irritating when I shift+click on a link to open in a new tab and I need to sign in again. Is there any work around to this?

My company uses Apple ID as a means of authentication -- all devices used for work are required to have an Apple ID associated with the company. However, I have a personal apple ID that is already associated with lots of important things (such as my last 20 years of apps, music, pictures etc.), as well as my family account (of which I am the Organizer).

Not wanting to give up my personal Apple ID has meant that I have needed to have multiple devices (2 phones and 2 ipads), which are cumbersome to carry around and which pull my attention in different directions. I am also not able to sync my calendars across them as I would like, and can only attach one to my apple watch. This does not seem like a tenable situation in the long run.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to manage this? As far as I can tell, it is not possible to have two Apple IDs on a single phone, but I don't see any other way to avoid having two devices. Anyone got interesting solutions?

I've recently gotten an iPhone 15 with an always on screen, which I enjoy.

However, when I'm listening to a podcast or a YouTube video or music, the album art/thumbnail is shown on the lock screen, even when it dims in the "always on" mode. I don't really want to constantly broadcast to the world what I'm listening to.

Can I make my phone stop always showing what I'm listening to, without disabling the always on lock screen altogether?

I've tried googling for solutions, but all discussion online is about how you can tap the album art to temporarily make it smaller. I want to permanently disable it for privacy reasons.

Hello. New to this sub and using iPhones in general.

I came from an S22 ultra to 11 pro max (wife’s old phone) to now having a 15 pro max.

I have used Samsungs all my life. And I can say with confidence that I used to thing there’s minimal, if any, difference hardware wise or any other matter. It’s just preference.

Using the 11 pro max was to just test the waters on ios and to be frank the experience was not great compared to the almost flagship S22 ultra.

But man is the 15 pro max something else. I don’t know just what it is but I am in love with a phone after a very long time.

Maybe it’s the novelty factor, maybe it’s what my wife calls “the iPhone charm”, or maybe something else.

Just wanted to ask other people who might have switched if they too feel the same and if yes, how do they describe this feeling.

Thanks.

P.s. I still have my S22 U for sentimental reasons and I’m not bashing any phone, just appreciating.

Hello, so as the title says, my iPhone X fell into water and now it only turns on when charging and only up until the apple logo is shown, then it just turns off again, is it still possible to fix it without taking it to repair center and is it possible to fix it at all?

Thank you so much in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hi all,

So I recently moved to iPhone after 15 years of using Android, loving it so far but I have one small but annoying issue.

When I'm connected to my secondary phone's WiFi hotspot, my iPhone disconnects from it about 15 seconds after I lock the screen, reconnecting about 10 seconds after I unlock.

I don't get this issue when I connect to my home WiFi, but when I connect other devices to the hotspot and turn the screen off, the connection persists.

I don't have any battery optimizations enabled as far as I know, so I'm unsure of what the issue is.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
