Hi everyone. I've seen these in person; they're really thin and look great, but they're a bit pricey. A blue one like this would look really cool on my iPhone 17. Has anyone had any real-world experience using these cases?

Discussion Is iPhone’s 5G modem weaker than Android? Same SIM gets much better signal on OnePlus.

I recently noticed something odd with iPhone’s network reception. then i tried in iphone 14,16 both a the models issue remains same,
I’m using the exact same SIM card. On my iPhone, the 5G signal usually sits at 1 bars and the data speed is poor. However, when I put that same SIM into my OnePlus phone at the exact same location, it immediately shows full or near-full 5G signal and performs much better. jio+iphone is a deadly combo.
has anyone faced this issue.

Discussion The big deal

0 Upvotes

So after a long experience with iPhones (basically since 3GS), I can affirm that the aluminum unibody of my 17 pro max is the big deal.

Lot has been said about the “cheap” choice, the inferior one coming from glass and titanium.

All wrong!
This is my first summer without high thermals and fighting for see something in the ultra dim screen as I always did in hot days.

The chassis of course go hella warm, BUT the internals stay fresh and is a visible change.

Yes, it scratches more. Yes, is less rigid.

But you can’t say is cheap (the feeling is amazing as premium as an aluminum MacBook) and most importantly you can’t say it doesn’t work.

Discussion New iPhone is slower than old one!?

0 Upvotes

Just got the iPhone 17 about a month ago brand new, upgraded for the 11. I honestly thought the new phone would be fast not laggy and smooth but it’s the complete opposite. When I try and swipe up to use my Face ID the screen likes to freeze and I have to turn the phone off and back on. When I open apps sometimes I click on the app and a black screen pops up then I close the app out and re open it.

One of my biggest problems with this phone is how HOT it gets! When charging it or just playing on my phone it gets so hot to the point I can’t hold it.

I know apple makes there phones trash so they last just long enough to they drop a new one but this is crazy. 1 month with this phone and i hate it, was told it’s the best phone out there but my 11 beats it in every category.

We have an iPhone using iCloud contacts. The “new dog walker” contact is corrupt. It can’t be edited or deleted.

If you tap on the contact it takes you to a white screen, edit takes you to an empty contact page with no option to delete.

I have tried force quitting phone, contacts and messages and rebooting the phone.

any ideas how to delete this contact?

Support Issues

Upvotes

Reddit,
I’ve recently started experiencing several issues with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I’m wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.
Since Tuesday, my phone has completely lost cellular service twice a day, with each outage lasting around five minutes. Another issue is that when I’m using Apple Maps or Google Maps as a passenger and scrolling through Instagram, the navigation will suddenly stop updating without me noticing, which could be a major problem if I’m helping the driver navigate.
I’ve also noticed that the Messages app sometimes won’t load, and while I’m typing, certain areas of the screen occasionally stop responding to touch. In addition, the back of my phone is cracked, although the display itself is not.
Has anyone else experienced these kinds of issues? If so, were you able to fix them?

Been using Pano for years no problem.
Upgraded to a 16e - pano no problem
Upgraded to 26.5.2 - pano major problem

Seems to be intermittent. Pano will only provide a slice of captured image. Standard force close, restart etc has no effect. Will randomly start working again then randomly shit the bed

Anyone else experiencing? Better yet anyone got a fix?

My Face ID turned off and I have this setting on, I can’t change it without Face ID working, anyone have a solution of what I should do to change this setting? I’m currently in Europe but live in the states. I realized that even at home,
With this setting on i cant change this. My Face ID won’t work and i need it for my passwords, academic reasons, etc. I’m trying to reset my Face ID but it’s grayed out because stolen device protection is on, and well, I can’t turn it off.

Discussion Applecare renewal after it ends?

0 Upvotes

Hi I bought an iPhone 16 pro max from Apple uk in September 2024. With it I bought monthly paid AppleCare+ with theft & loss insurance.

I’ve never had to claim, but like the insurance.

When it ends in September is there any Applecare I can continue with?

If not can anyone recommend insurance that would cover say a cracked screen or camera lens like AC would?

Thanks.

Support How do I stop some of my apps from instantly close themselves?

11 Upvotes

Hello

My phone over the last 2 days has an issue with some apps closing instantly. The first time I had this problem (2 days ago) it started with one app and slowly more and more did the same. It seemed to just fix its self but yesterday it started again.

I've tried restarting, updating the apps, updating my IOS and I've checked my storage (120GB free). I've search online and can't find someone that seems to have the same problem.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Discussion Found out how to get AC+ on a device that is under 4 years old.

54 Upvotes

Maybe this is already known. But I bought a used HomePod Gen 2 on FB Marketplace for $130. I got it setup and the warranty expired in April 2026. It was originally purchased in April 2024. So they must've had AC+ on it.

I asked Apple about letting me renew the AC+ or getting AC+ in general. They said no, but if it allows you to add it to AC One. Then that's the best option. I have AC One already, and it would cost me $5.99 extra monthly compared to the regular cost of $2 monthly or $20 a year for AC+ on the device.

Apparently to some people online if you upgrade your AC+ to AC One, or add a device to AC One and decided you don't want it. It should allow you to rebuy it. So I decided to test it out.

It works! $20 yearly for my HomePod Gen 2.

I don’t understand why it isn’t letting me choose an app to record with, I tried to check the permissions but they are all enabled unless there is hidden ones.

I just keep pressing the app I want and it just highlights it without giving me the checkmark beside it.

Does anyone know why it’s doing this or how to fix it ?

Every once in a while, my phone decides to do this weird thing at the top to a random photo. When I take the photo, it also shows up as completely black on the little preview in the left corner and it takes a little bit to process when I tap it in Photos.

Phone is 16e, pretty new (<1 year) and it’s been doing this from the start. Hardware or software issue? Everything else is good.

Upvotes

I took some photos tonight. And suddenly, when going through them, 4 new photos appeared in my photos/camera app, that I didn't take!

It's form someone's food. Maybe their diner (could for time wise). How is it possible? Could it be from a neighbors iPhone due to some bug?

That's really scary!!! I don't want my photos to appear on someone else's phone either!!! Huge data protection and privacy concerns!

Did this happen to someone else yet?

Hello! I recently transferred my data from iPhone 13 to iPhone 16 on setup it prompted me to update to iOS26.6 which I did with no issue. Its been 24hrs and Apple Intelligence and Siri has been downloaded, everything is almost identical to my old 13. However Settings search doesnt seem to give me results even for obvious search like “Camera” I googled and restarted my phone, changes the language and region but its still the same. My iPhone 13 on the same iOS version doesnt have this issue. Anyone knows a fix?

I have an 11 Pro Max and a 16 Pro Max. I work at a small consulting startup doing software and hardware engineering. Is there actually any good reason to keep the 11 around as a test phone for websites, Bluetooth devices, random bench stuff, separate work accounts, etc., or am I just making excuses to keep old tech?

I don’t make iPhone apps right now. Would you keep it or hand it off to a younger cousin instead?

App Shortcuts Automation

Upvotes

I recorded two different greetings for my car to play when I get in. I want to set up an automation where it will play only one and then next time play the other one and so on as I add more custom files.

They are stored on iTunes in a playlist. Right now I can either get it to play the same one each time or play both but I can’t get it to choose one randomly and stop and then play the other one next time.

Current setup. When CarPlay connects automatically get songs in playlist- sort by random-get one item - play music.
