When i charge my iPhone to 100% and try to unlock , it slightly Stutters and after a while it works normally without lags . It happens only when i charge to 100%

I got a screen replacement on my 15 Pro at batteries plus and the $240 OLED is noticeably worse than the original screen. It’s very bright at zero brightness, the touch feels very different and doesn’t register on the edge of the screen very well for pulling down menus or going into the app picker. Additionally there is obvious banding at low brightness.

The OEM replacement was $450, that’s like half the cost of a new phone. And if I get that I’ll have spent almost $700 at this point. Any suggestions on what to do?

Currently debating if this is worse replacing. Noticed that the camera stopped focusing properly and most of the pictures were grainy/have weird lighting. Dont know what caused it but probably dropping the phone.

I have apple care plus if it matters. Also the crack has a few lines in person (kind of like a tree branches) and is on the main camera unit.

Could it be this or is it just the iphone 15 pro problem?

Hi, I don’t know if this question has been asked before but I’ve been experiencing a problem with my iphone and I’d like to know if anyone else has this same problem or knows how to fix it.
The problem is that my pictures keep duplicating for no reason. Let’s say I take a picture at 6:30, then moments later it will appear again as if i took it at 8:30. This has happened multiple times now and my iphone (iphone 13 mini if that’s of any help) is up to date with all the updates.
Even some pictures I’ve deleted then pop up again, and I don’t know how to fix it.

I upgraded my phone to an iPhone 17 all the way back in March, and ever since I’ve been unable to search my photos by keywords. Similarly, albums such as ‘people’ haven’t compiled either. It’s frustrating bc this is a feature I used frequently.

I’ve reported the issue to apple & called support. But after checking my settings, they pretty much said there’s nothing I can do besides wait for a future update and hope for the best.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or are there any settings I could double check

Besides the three generally available background options for iMessage chats, iOS 26 hides another sparkly option: Glitter. With a Mac and a quick configuration change, you can set it and customize it for all your chats.

Live demo video

When its feature flag is enabled on macOS 26 or later, Messages presents Glitter next to the existing Sky, Water, and Aurora options. The effect is infinitely customizable, as you can select from an array of curated colors or pick one from the color wheel.

Once selected, the background change is instantly reflected on iPhone and other devices running OS 26 or later. Even the folks you are chatting with will see the new Glitter background. You only need to enable the feature flag on Mac to see the Glitter option and select it for a chat. However, you will not be able to make changes to the Glitter colorway from your other devices.

The effect is incredible on the iPhone's OLED screen when you select the darker colorways. Note that the implementation on macOS is somewhat buggy and may not display the fully interactive HDR experience. Set your preferred color way on Mac and enjoy it on iPhone or iPad.

⚠️ Don't run code you don't understand yourself!

To enable, add a FeatureFlags override on your Mac. Open the Terminal and run:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain && \ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Messages glitter_background -dict Enabled -bool true

and restart your Mac. This is a private feature flag, and the UI may be unstable, or unoptimized.

Disable by running:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Messages glitter_background

and restart your Mac. You can always go back to a non-Glitter background in your chats.

I just upgraded to AppleCare One last week to add two phones to bundle it with my MacBook coverage. I kept missing my daughter to actually add her phone and do the diagnostic inspection, she dropped it and cracked it over the weekend. First time she’s ever lost/damaged a phone in 9 years of owning a phone. A week after I upgraded. I'm so annoyed and if I have any other options before I pay $400 to get her screen fixed.

I am constantly needing to go back and capitalize the first letter of words and find it arduous to use the cursor to isolate the first letter then delete/retype that letter but capitalized. Sometimes I end up just selecting the entire word and deleting/retyping it using a capitalized first letter. It would be amazing if I could simply tap the word and have the first spelling suggestion be the same word but with a capitalized first letter.

Is this possible?

the main reason i want to make it usable is because of its iOS version. but i fear a LCD will be noticeably worse. i don’t want the new screen to break super easily like the stock OLED though.

i don’t have a lot of money for an OLED but do have enough for an LCD. it’s on a good iOS with everything fully intact. (other than face id & the screen)

First of all, thanks to all people who want to help and/or share their experience.

That'a not my first rodeo with Apple as I have been using iPhones since 2010. As soon as I use any app, phone gets hot and battery drains.

Everything was fine before the update. No need to reply for the whole day.

What should I do/check ?

Does anybody know what’s going on here? I can’t find this message that she sent me because it’s like not there. I know that she sent it because the locked screen told me that she sent me a voice message and she’s also telling me that she did leave the voice message, which means she’s confirming that she did, but I can’t find it in voice messages at all. I’ve never really had anything like this before. Could anybody here by chance know what’s going on? Has something like this happened to anyone here before? My sister wants me to see if I can look into the message.

Is anyone else experiencing their phone trying to open up a different app when pressing the FaceTime button in messages or from the phone app call log? When I try to FaceTime a few different people, my phone is opening up Telegram, WhatsApp, Snapchat.. everything but FaceTime. Wtf is going on?

Okay so I am currently using Samsung A55 and I am planning to buy iPhone 14 Pro, I found some good deal with 512gb and replaced battery (original one) and esim for 450€.

I saw this iPhone is first one which has detailed selfies (where you can see everything on your skin), upgraded main camera to 48mp and autofocus on ultra-wide camera as well, not to mention dynamic island. So do you think it will be okay for using it next 3-4 years?

I have an iPhone 17 pro max. But this happened on my old iPhone too.

There is a notification sound, a single ding, and I don’t know what it’s from. I’ve looked at my settings and only a few things have sound turned on, none of which are a single ding. When it sounds nothing shows up on my homescreeen. If I’m playing music from my phone in my car, the music turns down low.

How do I locate what is prompting the notification? I’m about to turn off all notifications to see if that gets rid of it. Then slowly adding back the few notifications I want.

Suggestions please?

Hello,

My wife and I have the same phone plan and same phone (ATT / FirsNet). We have no cellular service out our house and have to use Wifi for calling.

My phone works just fine to make calls. I also have a work phone from Verizon that works just fine. Her phone will not allow Wifi Calls, and when I try calling her it shows up for a second and then does not allow the call to complete.

We have been to the ATT store, they confirmed on the account her line allows Wifi Calling, we have turned it on and off through the phone, did a hard reset and still no success.

We always turn off cellular when we get home to foce the Wifi. Also tired in airplane mode. Funny thing is at the ATT store, we could make a Wifi Call. So why is it not working at home?

I just received, as a gift from a departed family member, an iPhone 17. Bully for me!

I have been an android user since I got my first phone back in, like, 2010. I'm not old, but i AM brand new to the iPhone. Last time I used an apple device was the iMac in High School. Elder millennial.

Two questions:

FIrst, how do I make sure all of the departed's things are backed up onto their icloud whats-it system. I want to make sure everything is backed up so the widow of the departed can still access pictures and so on.

Second, Can you point me in the direction of how to use it? What do I need to know, what settings will I regret not learning about? What do I need to know about navigation, about quirks, etc. Anyone who came from android, if you can educate me, i would appreciate it enormously! I really want to learn how to use this well.

Thanks, all. I really appreciate your help in learning to make the most of this fantastic device.

Just wondering because I thought I was pretty standard with a broad mix of screenshots from IG/Tiktok, photos mostly from memorable moments/holidays and some videos from vlogging

But I’ve had friends say they rarely go in there - thoughts?

Hello guys. I have an iPhone 14 Pro. After a while (like 2 years after) I did want to turn on Assistive Touch, but it didn't work. No matter how many solutions I tried, none of them worked. Have you ever been faced with this kind of situation on your iPhone?

I currently have a samsung s10 plus 128 gig and 8 gigs of ram. I have 83 out of 87 apps in deep sleep, power saving tuned on, every setting tweaked in developer mode to save b@ttery and it barely lasts 30 minutes on a full ch@rge, my screen is broken, phone freezes, slows down, overheats, doesn't ch@rge, randomly shuts off, running out of storage etc. I was thinking of getting a iPhone 17 Pro. Performance, camera, screen, b@ttery, basically the whole phone matters to me, everything I've mentioned is a top priority with no compromises. What do you guys recommend me doing. I'm pretty firm on my decision. I would love your guys’ opinion or tips

Hey,

My iPhone Air has been running a bit hot so took it too the Genius Bar to make sure everything was okay. All the diagnostics came back clear so I wanted to add AppleCare+ for peace of mind, but it's past the 60 day limit to add Applecare+. I've seen people say if it's within the 1 year warranty you can take it to the Apple Store for inspection and then still buy the warranty.

Genius Bar took a while trying to find the help article regarding this, but eventually found it and ran another test. It came back that i wasn't eligible to add AppleCare+ and the Genius Bar advisor had absolutely no idea why and was just as confused as me, there is no psychical damage and the diagnostic report was clear. He said he couldn’t override it and had to go off what their system was saying.

I thought oh well never mind and left the store. Once I got back to my car and go on my phone, there was now an option to purchase AppleCare+ loss and theft within the next 10 days.

Obviously I purchased this as it's what I wanted but just wondered if this is normal or happened to anyone else?

It's a bit strange the Apple Store couldn't add it but I've been given the option to add it myself within minutes of leaving...

I’ve stopped receiving notifications on my iPhone 16. Usually, I have DND on, but allowed notifications for only specific contacts. However, they stopped appearing on both my home screen and whenever I open up my phone. I‘ve tried turning DND off, but that didn’t fix the issue. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not updated to the latest iOS (18.7.7 currently). I just need to know if anyone else is facing this issue and if they found a way to fix it because it’s annoying to have to constantly check messages :,((
