    My screen layout that I’ve loved so much. It’s the best functionality I’ve ever had on my phone.

    Just a reminder that if you bought an 11/pro/max at launch your free year of Apple TV+ is almost up and it will start charging you monthly

    Figured many were like me and forgot to set a reminder for themselves I'm just glad I remembered beforehand.

    My Boss from a previous job asked me if I wanted two iPhone 4s’s. It’s been over a year and finally found a cable to charge them. Both are factory wiped! What can I even use them for?

    I seem to really suck at typing (iPhone 11) without error after error. I've had an iPhone for many years and I just am not improving; constantly going back and fixing mistakes. Does anyone have any best practices? Looking for the best settings, typing method etc. Thanks!

    Edit: I have an 11 Pro, not 11.

    iPhone 11 back glass scratches incredibly easily

    Posted: 31 Aug 2020 09:26 AM PDT

    I have on a case that has a sand paper like finish, but only harder silicon and I can already see tons of micro scratches all over the phone. Pretty ridiculous how easily the back scratches

    Anyone still using the iPhone SE 2016 in 2020?

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:41 PM PDT

    Get your battery replaced when it's low, seriously.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 07:09 PM PDT

    Hi! I know the title sounds a bit clickbaitey, but I truly do mean it.

    I got my iPhone X 64gb secondhand from my mom when she upgraded to an 11 Pro Max, and she wore the battery in this thing out. It was at 86% health when I got it in December 2019 (bought September 2018 iirc), and by now, August 2020, it was down to 81%. Well, I got sick of my phone dying during the school day, so I saved up the $73~ to get the battery replaced, and boy was it a process.

    I went to Best Buy on August 29th after finally getting an appointment, and while I know it's irresponsible to unnecessarily go places like that, waiting 2-3 weeks to mail my phone in didn't sound appealing (and I was paying in cash) at all.

    The first thing they did was run a diagnostic on the battery. The Geek Squad dude told me that the test basically checks the battery's cache to look for irregular/short charge cycles, and to test other info. They do this test if your phone's battery health isn't under 80%, as Apple won't allow them to replace a battery if it isn't under 80% or if it passes their testing. Except, mine wouldn't do any of the above. It tested, tested, and tested for half an hour. It got to the point where the technician said that it was going to fail at this point, and they got the manager to override and approve the repair.

    Well, what I expected to be a 5 minute drop off (my fault for having optimistic expectations I guess) had become 45 minutes. Eventually they returned and gave me the papers necessary to approve the repair, and after disabling FMI and removing my passcode, they took the phone and went to work. 15 minutes later and I was done.

    I left the store at around 4:35pm, and by 5:30pm my phone was ready to pick up. I got there, checked in again, and went to Geek Squad, and waited for the technician to bring my phone out. It took him a bit to print out my receipt and to give me the paper authorizing my pickup, but it was chill. After an awkward conversation with my retired highschool counselor, I finally got my phone back.

    This all happened yesterday, and I can't believe how long my phone lasts now.

    This link has a screenshot of my runtimes (the first thing you see when you open the battery tab in settings) and I'm stunned.

    I unplugged my phone at 6:45am (screenshot says 12:30pm because I plugged it into my MacBook to check Coconut Battery out of curiosity, but it hardly affected the charge level.) and only at 8:46pm, at 15%, did I have to plug my phone in.

    I mostly use my iPhone for iMessage and social media, and even TikTok which kills the battery (probably because it's busy doing whatever background stuff) only brought down around 5% an hour. I can't believe my phone actually lasts this long. My replacement SE (first one's battery swelled within a year of owning so they replaced it) made it to around 5:30pm before needing charged, and while I still love that phone (and so does my sister who got it) it can't even compare. My other sister's iPhone 11 probably crushes mine in battery too, which is nuts.

    -TL;DR

    If your iPhone is dying quickly like mine was, please just save up the money to get it replaced. You won't regret it.

    Do you use any 3rd party password app?

    As title says do you? If so or not. Why?

    11 pro Face ID works through mask

    Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    Starting today, my iPhone began to unlock with Face ID even when I was wearing a mask. I haven't done anything to the phone except allow the most recent updates to be installed. My os is currently 13.6.1. I've tried searching for reports of other people find who ran into this but was not able to find anyone. Have this been happening to anyone else?
