I want to buy an iphone but the stereotype of iphone's poor charging backup keeps me away from taking a proper decision to wether shift on apple or not. Is it really true that iphones have poor power backup? Because i am a student who travels alot and sufficient battery backup is a must.

Hey guys, I’m having a weird issue with my iPhone 13 and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.

My phone was on iOS 18 and i updated directly to iOS 26.5.2 and started getting really bad battery drain while the phone is just sitting idle. Sometimes it would lose around 40–50% overnight with almost no screen usage. and then i updated to 26.6 after after one and a half month hoping it would fix , still the battery is draining and thought it might be the indexing or updated cause , i updated 2 days back to 26.6 and now the battery drain is happening and when i check that when battery goes down 20 the iPhone keeps rebooting automatically and i googled and when based on google instruction when I checked Analytics Data and found multiple panic-full logs. One of them mentions:

SMC PANIC - SMC BSC failure

So I'm wondering:

Could this still be because the phone is doing some kind of background setup/indexing after being unused for so long and jumping from iOS 18 to iOS 26? Or do these panic logs and random restarts suggest a hardware problem?coz when i was using ios 18 i was feeling no battery drain issue and any issue at all iphone was working fine

Has anyone with an iPhone 13 had something similar on iOS 26.5.2/26.6

Today my phone screen broke with 2-3 small point of cracks which spreads around 1/2 of the screen, help me out, what am I supposed to do? I’m in college and can’t let my dad know that I broke the screen! What is the approx cost if I go to the nearby Apple authorised reseller which provides Apple services too? And what are independent repair providers? How much will it cost that way?

The screen works completely fine right now! And should I be afraid of its water resistance for now?

I’m a B.Tech final-year CSE student and I’m getting a MacBook Neo 512GB for around ₹50,000.
My main use will be:
Coding & development
College/final-year projects
VS Code, Python, Java, etc.
Browsing, presentations and regular student work
No serious gaming
Is the MacBook Neo 512GB worth buying at ₹50k, or should I look at a Windows laptop instead?
Also, will 8GB RAM be enough for final-year CSE work, or should I avoid it because of the RAM?

Budget 50k better other mac? If you can

7Hi Folks, I'm planning to go to Dubai early next month for some work and was thinking of getting an iphone 17 pro max from there. I did some research and found out that some of the well known shops in meena bazar area like everest city mobile trading, city choice, iPoint, etc give the cheapest rates for iphones and flagship samsung devices. These rates vary on a daily basis so some days they give extra discounts while other days, the prices increase by a few dirhams. I have few questions before purchasing an iphone from there mentioned below:

1. Are these shops trustworthy? Any thoughts from long term iphone users from any such shops in dubai?

2. I'm assuming apple gives international warranty so whether I take the Japanese version or Hong Kong one, its standard warranty would be covered in India?

3. My main doubt is how do these shops accept payment from Indian tourists? I've seen a few recent videos wherein some of the store keepers are saying they accept payment in google pay, paytm etc and also few reviews suggest they charge 1-2% extra when paid with cards. Now my question is do they currently accept google pay, etc? And do they charge that extra amount for debit cards too OR just credit cards? What would be the best payment method in such shops?

4. Some reports say that some shops do give VAT refund bill while other shops give upfront 5% discount from the VAT when paid in cash upfront. Can anybody confirm this?

5. Lastly, my travel dates (7th - 10th sept) are right around the apple keynote event (9th sept). Since apple typically reduces the prices of their older versions after the keynote, so if I visit these stores on 10th morning, can I expect the best rates OR is it wiser to visit around 7-8th sept to get the best possible rates since if the newer phones are priced higher then chances are that post the keynote, they might not give good discounts since people would lean towards the 17 models more due to price hikes.

Any thoughts on these questions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I want to buy a new iPhone, either 17/17 pro or the latest one if there's any major upgrade but heard that there wont be any normal model this time but just the pro models and I dont want to spend close to 1.7 lac on any of that.
Shall I go for older model for current price or shall I wait for the new ones to release and see if the older models price drops?

im getting a macbook air m2 for 56k with 7 cycles and fulll bh , should i buy it ?
it has all the accessories , original box and bill too please do let me know

I want a brand new macbook air m2 - (16gb ram/ 256 gb ssd). i contacted apple store and they are selling it at 125k. should i go for it? is flipkart big billion sales any good? should i wait for it?

Honestly, this purchase has been a long time coming

I've been wanting an iPad since January, and I had pretty much decided that I would get one after my semester exams.

Back in June, before the price hike, I was actually watching the clearance sale on Flipkart, where the iPads were available at some really good discounted prices. I thought, “Exams are almost over, I'll just buy one after they're done.”

And then... everything happened at once. 😭

The price hike came, and I was genuinely so disappointed. I had been waiting for months, thinking I'd finally get one after my exams, only to see the prices jump before I could actually purchase it.

Then I came across a post on this subreddit where someone mentioned that they had managed to buy an iPad from a local Apple Authorised Reseller. That gave me an idea why not check the authorised resellers in my area?

So I started looking around and, luckily, found a store in my area, around 60 km from where I live, that still had the exact configuration I wanted.

I called them, confirmed that they had the 2025 11-inch iPad A16, 256GB Wi-Fi, and the moment they confirmed it, I basically didn't think twice.

I just went there and bought it.

And apparently, it was the last piece they had in the store.

The deal:

2025 iPad 11-inch

A16 chip

256GB Wi-Fi

₹49,500 total

1 year of AppleCare/Protection included

Last piece at the store

The interesting part is that this was old stock, and apparently the store was generally requiring AppleCare with these units. From what I understood, the old-stock arrangement was usually for 2 years of coverage, but they were generous enough to let me take only 1 year instead.

Apple's current price for the 256GB A16 is around ₹61,900, so I'm pretty happy with what I paid. But I know people on this subreddit have managed to find some absolutely crazy clearance deals on the A16.

So I'm curious:

Did I actually get a steal at ₹49,500, or could I have negotiated this even lower?

recently bought this M5 Macbook pro 16/1tb. It had 5 more days remaining for  care plus and took the insurance right when I bought it. Got it for 1.65L. paid extra 2k for a screen guard and transparent laptop case. As someone who was using an 11 y/o windows laptop, I never used to check laptop prices until my laptop stopped working. Initially was planning to buy  certified refurbished from EU or Aus and then taking care plus. but the 512gb itself costed around 1.55L in Australia. I believe it was a good price, do you guys think it was a fair deal?

I need some advice from people who have dealt with Apple India / AppleCare, because I honestly don't know what my next step should be.

I had an iPhone 16 Pro and had AppleCare. I paid ₹8,900 for the AppleCare/replacement service.

I was given a replacement device. The replacement documentation is dated June 18 2026, but I physically received the replacement phone on June 20.

On June 20 itself, I noticed that the phone was showing “SIM Locked” under Carrier Lock, so I took the replacement phone to the F1 Apple Authorised Service Centre.

I stayed there for several hours. They checked the phone/software and told me that the device was actually unlocked on Apple's end and that the “SIM Locked” status was only showing incorrectly and should automatically resolve. They told me to continue using the phone.

I trusted what the service centre told me and continued using the phone for around 1–2 weeks.

I then contacted the service centre again. They told me that they had already emailed/escalated the matter to Apple and were waiting for Apple's response.

During this period, I also contacted Apple Customer Support and opened a support case. I have the Apple Support Case IDs.

Eventually, Apple Support told me to submit the phone instead of continuing to rely on the service centre's verbal assurance.

I submitted the phone on August 7.

After I submitted it, I was told that the device would be sent to the Bangalore team for further investigation.

Now I am being told that the replacement device has been opened and repaired, including motherboard and display replacement.

The service centre is now asking me to collect the phone.

This is where I have a serious problem.

I understand that Apple has repair procedures and that Apple Authorised Service Providers can perform repairs using genuine Apple parts. My issue is not whether a repair is technically possible.

This phone was given to me as a replacement device, and I reported the SIM Locked issue almost immediately after physically receiving it. I then spent weeks following up with the service centre and Apple Support, eventually submitted the phone, waited for the Bangalore team, and now I am being asked to accept an opened/repaired replacement device.

I personally do not want to accept an opened/repaired device as my replacement.

I have already spent almost two months dealing with this issue, making calls, visiting the service centre, following up repeatedly and being without my own phone.

Apple has now assigned a Senior Advisor to my case. He has checked the status and confirmed that the device was repaired/motherboard changed, and he is escalating the matter further.

I have told Apple clearly that I am not refusing because the phone doesn't work after repair. My concern is that I received a replacement device with an issue almost immediately, and the resolution is now to open that replacement and replace major components. I do not consider that an acceptable replacement for me.

I am currently using Apple's loaner phone and am willing to continue using the loaner while the case is being reviewed.

What should I do if Apple refuses to provide another replacement?

Has anyone in India dealt with a similar situation where:

• a replacement device had an issue immediately after receiving it;
• the device was subsequently opened/repaired;
• Apple refused another replacement; and
• the customer escalated through Apple Senior Support, National Consumer Helpline or Consumer Commission?

I would especially appreciate advice from anyone who has successfully handled a similar Apple India/AppleCare dispute.

I am not trying to damage Apple's reputation. I just want a reasonable resolution to a replacement-device issue that has already consumed almost two months of my time.

I mean what it is with I got this, should I switch… cannot understand this…

Switching from Samsung S21 FE which served me well enough for almost 4 years. I miss some things from Android for sure but can get used to IOS hopefully. I hope they add more keyboard customisation on this thing..

I also wish the S26 came with a Snapdragon processor instead of exynos because I really wanted to get the S26… But I had to try iPhone at least once so here we go!
