Apple

In some cases of the hand anatomy (I'm the unlucky one), the bulge on the back of the apple watch is perfect shape to pressure/tap a branch of the ulnar nerve, causing symptoms similar to ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist such as:

• Wrist pain
• Tingling in the 4th and 5th finger
• Weaker grabbing force in the arm
• Mild to strong pain when lifting things, with your palms up - this kind of motion:

It is caused, unintuitively when the watch is worn looser, compared to tighter, as in this case it tends to slip over and under the carpal bones, and find its way to touch the nerve continuously.

I know this is one of many of these posts but I wanted to clear some bad advices given in previous posts, and share if someone searches for the info:

• If you feel the wrist pain, change your watch arm. Regardless if it's an apple watch or anything else. Things are not symmetrical, and it will most probably not cause you pain in the other arm.
• Tighten the watch, don't loosen it. Especially during the exercise, or wrist movements. It should stay above the carpal bones.
• If nothing works, reduce the time you wear the watch, try a different brand, or stop. Continuous pressure on this nerve can mess up your hand.

A friend send me a video recorded on Snapchat (iPhone 12). The sound works fine, but the video is black. I don’t know how to fix it, any ideas?

I am a sucker for music and i listen to it all the time, and i am very impressed by the Sound quality of speakers on my Iphone 13. They sound like a mini sound bar. I can hear the low end very well and it gives a great output. I also admire the display and consistency in UI. Apart from this, the audio recording quality is also amazing. You can record a song on your iphone and the Quality of vocals is better than my USB condenser mic worth 4k INR. What do you like about Iphones.

If a little splash of salt water got on my iPhone will it be okay? Sorry I’m paranoid!

Hello everyone,

Although there was no impact or liquid contact on my iPhone 14 Pro Max phone, the screen touchscreen was broken. I sent my phone to a repair center where it was replaced with an original second-hand screen. The light and proximity sensor were also replaced. The phone software was reset. However, since then, I have been experiencing the problem I mentioned in the title. When I receive a notification on my phone, I hear a sound, but the screen light does not light up. Also, the touch and hold feature does not work on the lock screen and notification center. This does not only work on the lock screen and notification center. When I make a call and hang up or change the region in the phone settings, I can use these features as long as the screen is not locked. But once the screen is locked and unlocked with Face ID, this feature is disabled. True Tone was transferred during the screen replacement. Both the proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor do their job very well. I sent it back to the repair center and although different screens and sensors were tried, no results were obtained. I am currently receiving a notification that the screen has been replaced. I know this notification is temporary. Could this notification be triggering the problems? I would appreciate if those who know can help.

I have an Anker 2 in 1 MagSafe charger. Is it safe for long term battery health if I just use that? I’m very reckless with cables so wanted to ask. Thank you!

Anyone know the likelihood this will change? This and the option of icon navigation controls like 3-button are a major hiccup for me when I think about switching to iphone for the features I do like (cameras, better versions of apps, build quality standards, etc). What's the rationale of not trying some features that Android users frequently make use of if they want?

Today my alarm didn’t wake me up. Apparently, it tried to, but silently. On the screen there were buttons for "Stop" and "Snooze", but it didn’t make any sounds at all. I checked another threads regarding this issue, but nothing seems to help me. It did not ask me for my password, my phone was turned on all night. I don’t have anything like Do Not Disturb enabled. Did anyone encounter the same problem?

I ”upgraded” from iphone 8 to iphone 13 MINI and was expecting small phone. To my disapointent, it was BIGGER than the damn iphone 8. Ps we nees home button back

I'm looking at getting a used iphone 12 mini and the seller says it's unlocked. I have t-mobile. Will I have any issues? Or will it just be as easy as inserting my sim card and off we go?

I will be upgrading from iphone 12 to Iphone 15 pro max & thinking whether to transfer data or start over. If i transfer all my data from old phone (which has bad battery life & slow) to my new iphone. Is there a chance that this transfer might carry bugs and make my new phone become like my old phone? Thanks.

I just got both the 3rd gen ATV and the Nvidia Shield Pro to see what I liked with my s90c more. So far I really like how Apple TV feels, the UI is amazing! I have an iPhone and it rules with the combined features. But I’ve noticed how annoying the YouTube app is, and SDR dimming issues have been horrible because I have to constantly switch settings. On the Shield Pro, the UI is kind of ugly but the ai upscaling and motion handling seem to be better? I think SDR has some grain to it which is okay, but it doesn’t have hdr10+ so some HDR content looks worse I feel. Do any of y’all have similar experiences with the Apple TV? I just want something where I don’t have to mess with settings so much. So if there’s a solution I’d love to know.

So I had an earlier version of Apple Watch years ago but I wore it mostly during my health living routine, I deviated a bit so I used to wear it periodically, my nephew noticed so he pretty much asked me for it and I gave it to him. I was without an Apple watch for over a year during that time I have worn other fashion watches. Recently I decided to get back to working out and keeping track of the process so I decided to treat myself to another Apple Watch. I was indecisive on which to order, however, I went with the series 9 45mm, the watch has been in my possession for just under a month. I have worn the watch for a few days but while doing so it sis felt a little tingle but I ignore it and thought to myself maybe it's because I haven't worn a watch like this in a while. As the week ended I noticed my wrist was swollen, I told my mom and she's trying to convince me that it's carpal tunnel syndrome, she had the same issue about a year and a half ago and she stop wearing her watch, the doctor told her blah blah blah. I know it is not carpal tunnel syndrome, I'm not silly. I haven't worn my watch in about 1.5 weeks now and the swelling did went down a bit but my wrist still has a lump.

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? I do plan on going to the doctor this week but I think it is so weird, the lump sits right in the tingle spot, right where my watch would sit/rest.

I have texted a # who blocked me a few times, and some iMessages are remaining blue with no delivery notice below while others are stating delivered but not right away, usually the day after? It seems to be a glitch unless this person keeps blocking and unlocking my number..

I’m thinking of adding a whole language to prevent autocorrection. But when I switch iPhones, would they automatically be available even without backing up the iPhone to iCloud?

I personally don’t know if it’s a screen burn in, but after using tiktok I still can see the for you logo very faintly. Along with the wifi logo and the battery logo

I’ve tried it, it doesn’t work for me for some reason. Here’s what I do.

Camera video is set hdr. File format to high efficiency, 4k/HD but 60 FPS without cinematic mode. I even tried with cinematic mode. But for some reason when I am creating the reel, I see it in HDR while editing, but when it’s uploaded, for the first time when viewing from my own account, it appears HDR, but when I switch to another account to see it, it’s not in HDR. Some posts online suggests to wait to 12 hours to see HDR reflect back in my reels as it takes time to process HDR or something , but it’s been 4 days.

I am using an iPhone 14 base. What am I doing wrong?

I have been running for a few months (34m), and I can feel I have become more fit when it comes to how I feel and achieve while running. Now my session is more than double the time than when I started, and even when I end it, I would still be in zone 2 as my heart rate and breath rate are lower, unlike when I began running and I would always find myself at zone 4 by half the time (similar pace). Even when I try to run faster, I can do so for longer than before.

Yet, my VO2 max has dropped from 39.8 to 37.8! I would get very surprised every time I see it drop. Why would that be?

Hey guys, maybe you already had a similar case: If I use apple care to get my broken rear glass fixed, can I keep the replacement device they send me? Or do they repair my broken phone and I need to send the replacement device back to them afterwards?

Also, what happens to the battery? Mine is already at 90% after a year. Will the replacement device have a new battery?
