    iOS 12 & iPhone Megathread [December 04, 2018]

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 05:23 AM PST

    Have a question? Need help with iOS 12? Problem with your device? This is the place to ask.

    Starting now, we won't be approving posts that are questions or anything help-related resulting from iOS 12. Keeping everything in a megathread reduces the amount of help posts and one-sentence questions on the front page.

    Posts critisizing or praising iOS 12/iPhones are fine. Feature explanations/requests are fine.

    There'll be a new thread every week. If anyone has questions, please leave them below.

    We also have a Discord server you can join if you need assistance with your device or have questions regarding iOS/iPhone in general, we have experienced Apple support staff & enthusiasts with vast iOS/iPhone knowledge.

    These apps were mentioned here last week: "iOS apps used Touch ID feature to trick users into paying hefty fees"

    No-one has posted that long-pressing space bar lets you move the cursor on iPhone XR for at least 60 minutes. Is everyone OK?

    This is the last time Siri tells me to make a turn on to a Do Not Enter street.

    I'm switching to Google Maps.

    Goodbye Apple Maps.

    Is everyone else having issues scrolling through conversation Details in iMessage?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 06:56 AM PST

    It's very jumpy, laggy, and unusable for a long time now.

    Apple has opened an online store for active military members and veterans

    Had my ‘Black Friday’ iPhone X delivered today from Verizon via FedEx while I was at work. It was left outside my apartment door on a semi-busy street without a signature. What the hell? Is this normal?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 03:52 PM PST

    The phone was originally supposed to be shipped out in January so I'm both grateful and pissed. I got the shipping info this past Friday, so I was tracking it pretty regularly. Today it was out for delivery while I was at work so I was hoping I'd get home in time to sign for it. I check again and it says delivered - no signature required. I got worried, jumped in my car on my lunch break, pull up to my apartment and lo and behold - a little box sitting outside my door very visible and out in open. I live above a store so there's a decent amount of foot-traffic as well as cars. Unbelievable. Someone could've literally walked 2 ft out of their way and swiped it. If someone had, would I have just been screwed?

    You think this is Verizon's fuck-up or FedEx's? I'd call both, but I feel they'd just blow me off and say "yeah, won't happen again etc."

    Love the phone by the way, upgraded from SE.

    How can I make it where my iPhone will stop asking me to to choose between safari and chrome when opening browser?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 09:55 AM PST

    I don't even have Chrome installed. It ask me this all the time. I cannot figure out how to stop it. There is a button to click, something a long the lines of "always use this choice." I click it for Safari every time. It still asks me next to choose Safari or Chrome. Any ideas?

    iPhone X Battery Replacement Experience

    Posted: 03 Dec 2018 12:04 PM PST

    Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience getting my battery replaced yesterday.

    My girlfriend and I scheduled an appointment at our local Apple Store to get replacement batteries while they were still $29. After about an hour, the associate comes out and says the battery put in my phone was stuck too tight with the adhesive, and he could not remove it. He comes out with a BRAND NEW iPhone X, free of charge.

    My girlfriend then gets her iPhone 7 back, and they had messed up the functionality of her home button. Because the touch ID can only be used with that specific phone, they came back out with a brand new iPhone 7 for her too. Great Day for us both!

    TLDR; Went in for 2 new batteries, walked out with 2 brand new iPhones for free

    Edited to remind everyone to get your batteries replaced while they're cheap and save yourself money on rising phone prices!

    iPhone 6s Plus battery drain

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 07:07 AM PST

    Hi,

    I have my iPhone for more then 2 years now. Since I went from iOS 10 to iOS 11 everything went from great to worse actually. Phone became sluggish, alot of battery draining. I updated my iPhone to iOS 12 in September, hoping that the problems would be fixed, luckily it's a bit smoother but I'm still having an issue. An example of today, my phone was 100% in the morning, really fast, really smooth, feels like a new iPhone everytime the phone has not been used for a while (at night for example) and is at high battery %. When using the phone more and more, the phone becomes sluggish, not as smooth anymore and the battery drains like hell, for example now, after some hours of normal usage like messenger and facebook, etc... My battery percentage has gone down to 63%.

    I've tried so many things to fix this, the basic stuff like turning battery killers off like location services, background usage, ... I also changed my battery when I was on iOS 11, so now I'm using an non-Apple battery which gives me no way to see the % usage per app in the battery settings unfortunately. Also tried to reset my whole phone in iOS 11, bit that didn't help at all, and I guess to do that again now would just give me hope and won't give me any result.

    I know my phone is getting older, but to have this much draining and this performance loss after a bit of moderate usage it looks to me that this is really strange. I was also considering to go to the Apple Store and replace my battery for 30$ but I'm not really sure if that'd help, my self replaced battery is maybe a year old, and ofcourse it's not from Apple but I guess a battery is a bettery, right?

    Do you guys maybe have some thoughts to maybe fix this issue because it's really frustrating to be honest... I'm sadly enough being almost forced into buying a new iPhone...

    Thanks in advance,

    Tony

    Turning off iMessage when trading in an iPhone for another?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 06:54 AM PST

    I know you're supposed to turn off iMessage when changing to an Android device but how about to another iPhone? Is there any harm in turning it off on the iPhone you're trading in?

    Received an invoice for a purchase on an old, inactive account

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 09:05 AM PST

    I received an invoice from Filmmaker Pro stating I've been charged $89 for a subscription. I don't remember ever buying this app (or buying anything on that ID), but I used the account over a year ago so I may be forgetting. To cancel the subscription I get asked to sign in to my Apple account, after which I get a prompt for security questions as it's locked. I can't remember the answer to one of the questions, and then it says there's insufficient data to reset them. That's where I'm stuck.

    FWIW I haven't been charged yet, but the invoice states it may take up to two days to charge so I'm trying to cancel this before. I'm pretty skeptical about any of this because as I said, I don't remember ever getting this app but also because I receive this warning when trying to open the site via the link. Does anyone know if this is normal for the site? Also, what options do I have for resetting the account?

    Edit - Thank you guys, I should have paid closer attention to the sender's email. Promptly reported to Apple support.

    iPhone XS vs Full frame Camera : Bokeh Test

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 07:37 AM PST

    Return to home screen after lock

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 10:56 AM PST

    I've been working to optimize my iPhone usage (iPhone 8, latest iOS) so that I don't get "sucked in" but can still use it to its fullest potential. Part of this was going through the Coach Tony Medium article (https://betterhumans.coach.me/how-to-set-up-your-iphone-for-productivity-focus-and-your-own-longevity-bb27a68cc3d8). I pushed all of my occasional and tempting apps to the second screen and only have four essentials on my first screen.

    My issue is that after I've been on my second screen, whether I hit the home button to exit the app, or let my phone lock, the phone always opens back up on the second screen. Sort of defeats the purpose of having a "home screen". I'd like every "session" to be fresh and start on the sparse screen.

    I GET the benefit to some of going back to where you left off, but is there an option that I'm just not seeing that allows me to at least go to home after lock?

    iPhone Xs Max dust under the camera lens

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 04:58 AM PST

    Today I noticed a small white dot on my telephoto lens. At first I thought it would be on the outside but after trying to clean it it turned out to be under the lens. Since I got my iPhone since launch day, am I still entitled to a replacement unit?

    My wife and I recently purchased iPhone XS Max' at an AT&T store. Both underwhelmed. More me than her. Payment plan.. Options?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2018 10:50 AM PST

    Hello!

    My wife had it in her head that she wanted an iPhone XS Max and the new watch. I was skeptical-- but for some reason, I let logic fall through and said "yeah sure, let's do it then". Anyway, it's all on her account. They gave me a new phone number, and she is making payments for both of our phones. These were purchased in late October. I don't mind going back to an iPhone 8+ or even something older-- or even a Samsung (god I miss swiping). Our carrier is AT&T. What options/choices do I have? Thanks for any advice. Appreciate it!

    I'm in Canada and while I've looked at Amazon.ca for battery cases and see a few, does anyone have any recommendations for a good slim battery case for the iPhone XS? Not the max.

    Thanks.
