My phone 11 is being a complete pain with ghost touch and sometimes being unresponsive like I can’t go past 5 Reddit posts without scrolling back to the top of the page and my phone normally does this but it’s not very often and it’s not very long but it’s been going on for 3 consecutive days and it’s really annoying so if anyone knows anything I can do it would be great

Was going to buy a new 12 from my carrier (straight talk) for $400 but i checked Walmart and I can get this 13 for $8.31/month for 36 months (that’s only $300 total) and I have $150 saved up now and I’ll get the other $150 next month so I’m really wondering if this is a good deal and how the financing works like if I’d be able to fully pay it off all at once (also I’d go with the Verizon version which is on the same deal and has better coverage here, this was just the one I screenshotted)

Idk if it's just to mine but when i'm in a call with my iphone 15 not pro i can i ear what the microphone capture. Just to be more clear, when i'm in a call and i touch the mic near the charging port i can ear it from the earpiece speaker. I tried to do it on my xs max and on a 13 of a friend and they don't do this. Does anyone know why and if i can disable it?

I’ve finally decided to upgrade from my series 4 to an Ultra Watch 2, and for some reason the display is much dimmer on same conditions.

I have the brightness set to max and the ultra requires more light in the room to produce the same effect as the series 4, is there a way for it to be fixed or auto brightness to be turned off entirely? Sometimes I can’t even tell time with how dim it is

Is anyone experiencing lagging issues on iPhone 15 plus (iOS 17.1.1)?

I’ve been having several, especially with slow response to touch (it takes several tries to pull down notifications center) and a website/feed never fully loading (although the internet speed is speeding).

Does anyone know how to solve these issues?

After being an Android user my entire life I finally switched to iPhone. Whenever I got snaps from people with iPhone I was always impressed with the quality, so much so that this was one of my main reasons to switch. I remember reading somewhere that on iPhone Snapchat uses the actual camera instead, while on Android it basically takes a screenshot.

However I had a pretty disappointing experience so far with my 15 Pro. The images I take on Snapchat look grainy and dark compared to the amazing photos you can shoot with the camera app. Also when exporting them to my gallery I found out that Snapchat only takes 2 MP photos apparently. Is this normal?

I ordered a custom MacBook Pro M3 Max, 16 inch, 64gb, 1tb a week ago. The status is still "processing".

I've got a delivery timeline of 30 Nov - 7 Dec. How accurate are Apple's timelines ? Has anyone ordered a custom MBP and gotten it yet ?

It's been 7 days since I ordered and its still processing, hence a bit anxious.

It’s gotten to the point of no return - the entire sides with the “plastic feeling fabric “ is completing peeling like it got sunburnt . It just looks awful now . I treat my phone with care so I’m not sure what caused this . It lasted 6-8 weeks .

Is there an app I can get for the watch which will give me either a watch face complication, or widget with something analogous to this graph from in Settings?

So if someone's a casual mac user who uses their mac for browsing, music, office productivity, streaming... at least, 30 chrome browser tabs and streaming music/ mp3 player and another productivity app all simultaneously...

Is upgrading RAM and storage from the base model, overkill for such a "casual mac user"?

Just curious to see everyone’s organization skills.

Before taking a couple of watches in for trade in credit, I decided we needed a family portrait. Our watch journey started with my wife’s series 3 (bottom left), then the S5. Then I got one with an S6. She got an S7. Now she’s got the S9 and I have the Ultra 2. I guess we are addicted. I don’t know why we’ve kept them all.

Today, I’m taking three for trade in credit. The 3, 5 and 6 are all getting traded in. The S7 will be given to one of our children.

Just got the link bracelet. I can’t believe how good this combination looks.

So I have two unknown AirTags and one pair of AirPods defected WITH me (not even near me). It says Play Sound is unavailable. How worried should I be? I checked my bags and coats. No AirTags to be seen.

I also can’t disable it because well, I don’t physically have it. Also, it only shows up on my iPad. When I go on my iPhone, there’s nothing detected with me.

I live in an apartment complex, so idk if neighbors can connect like that to my iPad. But it looks like the thing was moving yesterday. I haven’t been out yesterday- I stayed in all day.

How concerned should I be?

Hi all,

I'd like to buy an apple watch for my father, for xmas.
He'd use just to watch the hour (no good at all with tech)
I'd use it to control his O2, heart rythm, blood pressure, localize him with GPS, or notified if some crash is detected (he's 77)

He has an android, I have a iphone, I was thinking on series 6 GPS+Cellular, is it ok to sync with my iphone? I read it can't sync with android.

Do you guys has some suggestion on this?

Hi, I'm planning to buy my grandma an Apple Watch Series 8 or 9. However, since functions such as blood oxygen and ECG are not available in the Family Setup, I was thinking of buying her a refurbished iPhone SE (2020) as well. My question now is whether she could lose the named functions as soon as the iPhone SE no longer receives software updates. Thank you!

I finally decided to switch and I got my iPhone yesterday and let me tell you: WOAH.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved my S22U but the smoothness of iOS and just how clean and interactive everything is has no comparison.

There’s still a few things that I think android does better (notifications, I’m looking at you) but overall I am very happy with the switch and I can’t wait to be absorbed by the ecosystem.

I would like to get some of your recommendations for best apps in these categories:

3rd party camera: I like to use advanced features when taking photos so I’m looking for your recommendations

Photo editor: which ones are your top choices? Is Lightroom the best?

Productivity: Notes and reminders app mainly or do you prefer the native apps?

Thank you! :)

I’ve had my watch a little over a month now, my first apple watch and been very happy. One thing I’m confused on is how the optimized battery charging works exactly?

My charging habbits are pretty much like this: in the morning when I shower & brush teeth I charge a little, afternoon when I finish my workout and shower I charge a little and evening before bed as I’m getting ready I charge a little. This way I keep the watch between 20-80% most of the time and it doesn’t take any effort for me.

However, if I forget myself or take longer to shower, the watch always blasts past 80 and charges to full immediately, I never get the optimized charging icon where it stops at 80%. Even though my charging habbits are pretty consistent. What gives?
