    Which iPhone is your favorite?

    What’s the official capitalization for iPhone XS?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 08:13 PM PDT

    The iPhone XR is an absolutely amazing phone.

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:47 PM PDT

    I switched from the iPhone SE to the XR and I'm absolutely astonished by this phone. I've been ogling over this phone since it was announced since it was finally a "decent" price but I've never had the money to buy it (I'm 14) and I finally decided to get it. This thing is amazing. As much as people crapped on the notch when the first announced the X, I actually kind of like it. Also, portrait mode is my favorite feature I've had on a phone. Overall, this is an incredible device and I hope Apple keeps this "budget" style phone every year.

    Apple, please change the screenshot sound to avoid public embarrassment.

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 05:50 AM PDT

    First off, I don't know why Apple insists on having a camera shutter/screenshot sound that can't be disabled in settings. The only way to turn it off is to silence the phone and I can't tell how many times I've missed important calls because I forgot to take my phone off silent after taking a few screenshots. If you must have a sound, why make it the same as the camera shutter? There have been times where I've taken a screenshot in public with the phone unintentionally pointing towards someone and gotten dirty looks because they thought I took a picture.

    iPhone X (XS): Apple Pay without power button

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 03:53 AM PDT

    Hi, I'm thinking about buying the iPhone XS. But I'm not comfortable with the new way to use Apple Pay. Is there a way to use it without the double press on power button ? Like assistive touch or wallet shortcut on control center ? On my iPhone 7, when I launch Apple Pay trough assistive Touch it automatically launch Touch ID. Is it the same for the X ? Will it launch Face ID without having to press the button ? Thanks in advance !

    Best Graphically Intense Games for XR

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 06:33 PM PDT

    I love graphically intense games and now that I have the new XR I'm looking for a few games that will blow me out of the water with their graphics. I'm also looking for simple yet fun games that are not pay to play/win. I'm a huge fan of the Kingdom Rush series and the Infinity Blade series. It seems as if most games I'm looking for are not listed so it's hard to find fun games. Any recommendations?

    Is there any reason, outside of privacy, to avoid Google products on an iPhone?

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 06:31 AM PDT

    I see people frequently say they don't use Google services on their iphones, but the main reason seems to be privacy. If someone was getting an iPhone and had no issues with the privacy side of things, would there be any real reason to avoid Google? App performance, look, functionality, all of that type of stuff....is it all on par with Apple or Microsoft apps? Can a person with an iPhone live in a Google world without missing out on what makes an iPhone great?

    Has anyone with an IPhone X or higher experienced their ‘Battery health’ percentage drop?

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 06:18 AM PDT

    I have a new iPhone XR, and I noticed there's a battery health menu now.. obviously mine is on 100% but I was wondering if anyone's has dropped, how long did it take to drop, and what did you do about it if it dropped?

    Text Message Forwarding - Any tips?

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 02:27 AM PDT

    I have text message forwarding on for my iPad, MacBook Pro and an old iPhone 7 I'm using now as an iPT pretty much. Now I'm able to receive and respond to SMS on every device BUT the iPhone 7. I can see the SMS that is coming in, but when I reply back, it doesn't go through.. and it's only that device.

    I have tried all of the troubleshooting steps. Signing out of iMessage, signing back in, making sure both my phone number & email are checked, etc.

    Any idea why the iP7 is the only device that I can't send a regular SMS text to, but the Mac and iPad I can with no issues? Is it because the iP7 is supposed to be a "phone"?

    Question about default apps

    Posted: 16 Jul 2019 12:19 AM PDT

    Hey all, I'm about to pull the trigger on an XS and I'm switching from Android to iOS, just wanted to know if I uninstall Apple Maps, will Google Maps become the default?

    Overall what's that like to deal with? The preinstalled apps Vs your preference?

    Cheers!

    How many fingers does the iPhone XS touchscreen support at once?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:28 PM PDT

    Is it 5? 7? Maybe 10?

    I remember being able to find this info on android phones back in the day. Can't really find info about it now, which is understandable but there must be a max.

    Also I'm in the mood for an odd questions(like this) thread.

    New phone instead of new battery?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 07:59 PM PDT

    I made an appointment to get the battery replaced in my iPhone SE this weekend. For some reason (which seemed to surprise the employee), they said it needed to be sent in for repair rather than being done at the store. They gave me a loaner phone, so no big deal.

    Two and half hours after they received the phone at the repair center, the status says my 'Replacement Product will be shipped to you soon.' Is this typical?

    I'm perfectly happy to get a new phone, but it was pristine besides the battery.

    Fun or Useful things to do with old iPhone hardware?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 11:05 AM PDT

    I've got quite literally 200 iphones sitting on my desk. Most are 5s, some are 6s. They are in remarkably good physical condition as they were used professionally and not as someone's primary device.

    I'm looking for some ideas on what we can do with the hardware? Little tech projects or something. They will not be activated again so wifi-only. Thanks for ideas.

    Is loop disease inevitable

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 09:12 PM PDT

    To those knowledgeable of the topic in hand, and to those who have owned or still own a "few year old" iPhone 7/7 Plus, is loop disease bound to happen on these iPhone models?

    Reading online, loop disease is due to drops and applying pressure in a bending manner (putting in the back pocket and sitting), but if one applies a heavy duty case like an otterbox or catalyst, would this still may happen?

    To those who still sport or used to have an iPhone 7/7 Plus, would like your input!

    Really have to use to this iPhone. Had iPhones in the past but dang Samsung is also very good with android. So will see if I keep the iPhone 8 or the Samsung s8. Any tips? Like file transfer between windows laptop and iPhone? Oh and iTunes on windows 10 is not working at all for me so...just love the easy file transfer on Android because it's just an sd card.

    Do iPhone add-on lenses scratch your iPhone lens?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2019 06:11 PM PDT

    I'm seeing many ads from companies on social media for these wide angle or telephoto lenses, but I have always wondered if they scratch your lens because you're often mounting, adjusting and removing.
