Got a new job and so I got this wallet to celebrate and I got it on the afternoon of the 13th. It is now the evening of the 16th and the front of the house wallet kinda turned black.

Has anyone experienced this type of discoloration before?

iPhone Handoff allows one phone number to be shared across two separate iPhones. Why would someone use it? Do you have any real need for that?

My iPhone 4S had been sitting in a drawer since forever. It's stuck on iOS 9.3.5 and can't install a single current app. I wanted it on my desk as a small Stream Deck–style control panel for my Mac, and I built the whole thing with Claude Code in one evening.

What it does

8 big keys: 7 Mac apps of your choice, plus a Take note key. Tap a key and the app opens on the Mac.

Take note: dictate with the iPhone keyboard's mic, and it starts a new Claude chat on the Mac with your note.

Now playing: artwork, track, progress, and previous / play-pause / next for Spotify or Apple Music on the Mac.

Internet widget: download/upload speed and ping (macOS's built-in networkQuality), plus a live traffic graph.

Batteries widget: MacBook, Magic Keyboard / Mouse / Trackpad and AirPods, each shown as an icon + percentage.

A big lock-screen-style clock and date.

Hold any key to choose which apps go on the deck.

No jailbreak, no App Store, nothing installed on the phone. The 4S just runs a web page in Safari ("Add to Home Screen" makes it full screen). A small Swift program on the Mac serves that page over Wi-Fi and does the real work: opening apps, reading batteries, controlling Spotify.

I’m seeing these little squares in some of the photos and videos taken with my 18 Pro. I couldn’t find anything about this online—is this a known issue?

good god, please, someone help me. i’m so sick and tired of this feature and i’m not sure if there’s a way to turn it off as i’ve looked everywhere online and can’t seem to find a solution. i have an iphone 13 and no matter what settings i put, when i take a picture it tends to saturate a few seconds later. a good example is my dog. i take pictures of her all the time and they always turn dark. and considering her color, sometimes her face completely disappears and she just looks like a silhouette and it drives me nuts cause 95% of the time theyre the cutest pictures. i’m posting an example here. though you can still her face here, my point is that it saturates. i was able to get the brighter picture by saving the LIVE photo as a video and screenshotting it. and yes, ive tried turning off LIVE photos and it still happens. is this a common occurrence?! can it be turned off? i hate this!

I have an Iphone 14 Pro Max my sim often not working now. It used to be okay and then all of sudden it stopped, I need to restart my phone or eject SIM Tray and put it back. First few seconds it detected then just stop. Is it only me or there is a bug going around? what should i do to fix this?

by the way I tried to put the SIM on other phone it works fine

I am looking for an iPhone 18 Pro case before I buy the phone and I need to preface with the fact that I live a life of chaos. My last phone was in an underwater waterproof bag that still leaked and even though the phone was also 'waterproof' and only under water for like 10 minutes it bit the dust.

I have been trying to search online but keep getting generic low quality options on Amazon and these are the big factors I am looking for:

• A fully enclosed case. I want to put it in once and never take it out again and not worry about sand, water, etc.
• Camera quality, I use my phone for a lot photography and videos and I want a high quality camera protector that doesn't compromise camera quality (as much as possible)

Bonus points for:

• Any type of strap or thing on the back to stop fatigue from holding my phone

Any insights from anyone happy with their current phone case greatly appreciated!

screenshot obtained from app privacy report -> whatsapp. i’ve shared my screen on whatsapp calls for, maybe, 5 mins at a time? but it seems like whatsapp continues to access my phone’s screen recording for days at a time until the phone is shut off at some point.

is this normal? does this mean whatsapp is constantly watching my screen?

for context, no, it doesn’t say anything in the control center after i stop sharing. just wondering why whatsapp is continuing to use this permission. thanks guys!

Does anyone know why my WiFi has two gray bars? It’s Ben happening all week and started with just one. Is this something wrong with my phone or my WiFi.

I’ve been having a really annoying issue with my iPhone 16, since iOS 27. Several times a day, a particular button gets activated when my finger is extremely close to it but hasn’t actually touched the glass. I don't have a screen protector glass nor my screen is broken.

It’s not limited to one app. I’ve noticed it with different buttons across multiple apps, so it doesn’t seem to be an issue with a single app’s interface, but it's usually when the finger is super close to that button, but never touched it.

What I’ve noticed:

• Happens several times a day
• Happens across different apps and buttons
• Also happens when the phone is unplugged
• The screen appears to register a touch before my finger physically makes contact

It’s incredibly frustrating because the phone sometimes does things I never intended to tap.

I’m wondering if this could be a faulty digitizer, an iOS software issue, screen protector interference, or something else.

Has anyone else experienced this on an iPhone 16?

If you’ve had the same problem, I’d love to know:

• Did you manage to fix it?
• Did Apple Support identify a hardware fault?
• Did an iOS update, screen protector removal, or another troubleshooting step help?
• If Apple replaced or repaired your screen, did that resolve the problem?

I’d appreciate any advice or firsthand experiences.

Thanks!

About a year ago, I switched from android to IOS. Something I really liked about my Samsung was the calendar app and the reminders app. They just aren’t the same on my iPhone. Has anyone else been in this boat and can you recommend an app in the App Store that would be similar to Samsung calendar and reminders?

Mine is set to lowest to maximise display space. What is yours?

What happen with my whatsapp, every time if i wanna search a person in whatsapp, its suddenlly go out, and if i enter the whatsapp a second time, it shows like that, what can i doo, please helpp 😭

Hi guys,

I have iphone 16. I bought last year.
That side button which is for camera is not working.
What should i do?

Hi Everyone,

I recently went on a trip with my friends. We all have iphones(16PM, 15, SE). We clicked a lot of photos and videos(close to 1500 or more😵‍💫)

Naturally, after the trip, we wanted to share those photos & videos. Since everyone had IPhones, Airdrop became common tool to share.

When I started sharing photos, anything above 500 items in a single attempt failed. Like, airdrop froze and gave error right away.
sometimes it glitched out. We had to manually batch media in group of 200 to share it.

I would love to hear what I was doing wrong? I understand the quantity of media was A LOT. But, should Airdrop not handle such cases of batching automatically or atleast fail gracefully?

Would love to hear your thoughts on your experience of sharing media using Airdrop.

Note: for smaller transfers, it works like a charm. No issues there. Also, we all had sufficient memory, so that cannot be the issue for failure.

I’ve muted most app notifications, but a few are worth the interruption because timing changes what I can do next. A meeting reminder when I need to leave is different from a badge that can wait.

My take: a notification should prove it’s urgent, not just announce that something happened. Which alert do you keep on even when most are off? What makes it worth the interruption — and what app sends you too many?

Disclosure: I work on an iOS voice-assistant project and think about when an assistant should stay quiet.

quando provo a usare AirPlay l'interfaccia rimane in caricamento, ho già provato a riavviare il telefono e il wifi è connesso. cosa posso fare?

Hi all, I just got an iPhone 18 Pro Max a week or so ago. Everything is working perfectly until I tried to play music on speaker. Somehow, when playing music above 60% the sound coming the top speaker (earpiece) starts to break apart and sounds really muffed. It’s almost sound like those $10 speakers you get on some random stands on the street. This is definitely not what I expected from Apple and their iPhone line. I tried to test different song like Dog Days Are Over and Sunroof, and everything is fine other than top speaker. Before 18 PM, I am a 15 PM user and my old phone definitely does not have this problem. I also went to the Apple Store in my region the other day and pick up a random display model to test it and it also sounds really bad with the top speaker. I still have a few days left within my 14 days exchange period I just wondering should I even bother to exchange it because I also read online that it might be a software issue ? Not sure if anyone else having the same issue or not and if you guys have any solutions ? Thanks !

As you can see in the image (I used Google Translate on the photo, which was originally in Turkish), Instagram is active on the 17 Pro Max—running in the background—even though no other apps are open. Is this normal?

iOS Version: 26.7.1
BH: %100

I keep both "Background App Refresh" and "Location Services" turned off—neither is enabled—yet this issue still occurs. It even happens when Wi-Fi is switched off. Is there a solution to this? What can be done?

Basically the title. I thought StandBy mode was supposed to remember the last view selected. I like to have one of the clocks in particular (the least bright and annoying one). Yet every night I plop it on my Anker MagSafe charger and it pops up with the stupid photo album or calendar or something else I don’t want. This happened before and after the iOS 27 update. Anyone else find StandBy annoyingly inconsistent?
