What’s the better phone? I heard that the 13 pro is a better pick due to 120Hz and a bigger battery (?). Also, I can buy a 14 for $700 CAD from a friend which is cheaper than the normal $999, if that makes the decision any different. Currently I have a 12 mini.

Snapchat excluded (from what I’ve found out so far), all my notifications from every app have the same quiet ding sound? I can’t find a way to turn it off, I like hearing the different notifications sounds so I know where it’s coming from just by the sound

Hello,

I’m having a very hard time finding how to turn off Siri as my voicemail.

I run a small business and it’s important for me to have my own message on voicemail.

Is there a way to turn off Siri as my voicemail voice without turning off the new Live Voicemail feature?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me!

my iphone 15 pro running the latest iOS 17 and it will be stuck unresponsive displaying an unknown red background. It vibrates when I toggle the ringer on or off and usually goes away after 20-25 mins. The odd part is that it look like a lake with a grassy shore and an island on the right side but it is not my background. Got the phone in end of September and has done it 4-5 times since has this happened to anybody else? Also can not be reset during its episodes

I am thinking about buying an Apple TV for my dad for Christmas but I have a question. He does not currently have a 4K tv BUT he will likely be upgrading in the future so I wanted to know, will the 4K version work outputting 1080p HD until he gets a new tv. OR does I bite the bullet and buy a new TV too. I'd still like to know about the original question tho, thanks!

i don’t know if this was already common knowledge but you can write on the frosted back of the iphone 15. WITH A PENCIL!!

THIS IS SO COOL

I’m looking to buy a used iPhone. In the past I can insert my current sim into the iPhone to test if everything works. The 14 Pro and Max has no physical slot. How have others solve this issue? Thanks.

After a few updates I’ve had issues with my phone speaker (the top one) during calls. The volume is really low. I’ve tried all tips on the internet so far but no success. I have an iPhone 8. Anyone got ideas? I appreciate the help. Sorry if there are mistakes I’m not native in English.

So I have a bit of an atypical request. For those of you that don't know FaceApp it is an app typically used to alter your face with filters and changes that usually make you prettier. However, I'm looking for something that can do the opposite without being exaggerated, i.e. an app that can make skin slightly worse, eyebags slightly bigger, hairline slightly shorter etc.

Does anyone know if such an app exists?

New Apple Watch owner here. I’ve had my new series 9 for two days, and have had to restart it four separate times due to the Notification Centre’s swipe down gesture suddenly not working. I’ve looked online and see this is an issue dating back nearly three years. Why hasn’t this been addressed by Apple? Is there a more permanent solution I’m not aware of?

Hi, everybody!

I've never had anything other then android (I'm 24 yro so my current phone is my 3rd or 4th) and always a Samsung cause it is very user friendly to me and I feel in Croatia, where I'm from, there's no as many iPhone users as in the U.S. Also, I think I've prejudged the iPhone, not my proudest moment...But honestly, it leaves me very curious every tine I pass the Store at the mall. Maybe I should try it out, to experience something new? What factors tipped the scales for you?

I would maybe go for a base model, but I'm not sure do I go for 128 or 256 storage? (Currently my Samsung used 92% of the 128 gb storage, but it doesn't causes problems or give me warnings; well so far...It's working fine, but do I need more?)

What do I need to know before getting it? Also after I get it?

Do I need to get iPods right away? (I use earphones a lot!) Or I can get by with some non branded ones?

Oh, I also use Lenovo laptop, would iPhone connect to it at all? For a hotspot, for example? Or do I really need to put money on the side right away for a MacAir?

What else should I know and didn't ask?

Thanks, have a lovely day!😊

I am sitting at home wearing the Apple Watch and I'm using the iPad on Reddit to answer a post with my voice. All of a sudden without me saying the word “Siri” or the word “Hey” Siri turns on and sends me a message. I did not able to fully read it. It had a simple comman text and a number of line of zeroes and one. Date 11/29/2023 Time about 5:15 PM EST. I don’t know what it means. I am looking it up, but not finding anything. Did anyone get one?

Recently switched from Google TV to Apple TV, and I don’t see a button or a feature that allows me to change the TV source?

Often after watching videos, I turn on my Xbox, but Apple TV won’t automatically switch TV source, so I have to either find my TV remote, or try to turn off Apple TV and turn on again, hoping it recognizes Xbox.

If you see in this image example I pasted, you can see how my keyboard is predicting what I’m going to say next. On paper this is a convenient idea but in practicality when I’m actually texting it’s quite a nuisance.

Obviously in this situation it actually would make sense for it to suggest supermarket, but I’m only doing that as an example to get the point straightforward. And sometimes it changes my prepositions quite a lot. I’ve checked a lot in the settings app myself to see what’s up but I’m probably just too dumb to know where it actually is.

Additional info: I have an iPhone 12 running iOS 17.1.1, and this feature only appeared after I upgraded to the newest OS (as of 29.Nov.2023).

Hello! Is it worth to get the 15 Pro Max from the 12 Pro Max? I don't have any issues with the 12 Pro Max, but am having a baby and am kind of using this as an excuse to have a better camera for pictures and videos lol

Hi, I have a 2018 macbook pro. A few days ago i went to use it and it said the battery was dead. I was confused because thought it had a good bit of battery when I went to sleep the night prior. I plugged it in turned it on and to my surprise said it had 49% battery remaining. All was well for two days but then today the same thing happened wouldn't turn on plugged it in for like 2 minutes and then boom 42% battery remaining and runs fine unplugged. Does anyone have any clue what could be the issue?

My husband and I recently traded in our 13s for 14s at T-mobile 2 days before Thanksgiving. Now that we received them in the mail, we decided to order 14 Pros 128GB, but now they are no longer available. Did this just happen after Thanksgiving? Only a handful of 14 Pro 256 GB phones are available.

Hi all. Need some help if anyone has had the same idea. Started working a manual job, that doesn’t allow visible jewellery, but I would like my watch to track my output, especially while standing and moving all day.

Thought of wearing a sweatband over it to cover up the watch on the job. So far the watch has kept a log of heart rate all day, but seems to have the activity rings for the hours during my shift blank.

Does anyone know if this idea just won’t work or if there’s something I’m missing?

I got the iphone 15 pro max about a month ago and I'm really trying to preserve my battery life as much as I can after reading about all the battery problems with the iphone 14. I currently have "optimized charging" on and I'm charging it overnight, hoping that the iphone would learn my sleep pattern, keep the charge at 80% and have it ready at 100% when I wake up. But it's been around a month and it still charges immediately to 100% when i go to sleep. I must admit that I'm not going to sleep at the same time everyday (varies by 1-2 hours) but it should be smart enough to know that. Am I doing something wrong? Or does it need more time to learn?

The blue send button is now green. But previous messages I sent few months ago, are blue. I am not blocked. I guess they just turned iMessage off, but it’s been like this for a week, probably longer. All my other contacts send button is still blue.

Hello all, is it normal that the clouds on the ariel screensaver for the one showing earth from space are flashing? Or is my screen glitching out? All the other screensavers are fine. Can anyone confirm? Either it's lighting or my tv is being weird I guess
