I have a new Mac, and the braided charger cable keeps twisting and turning into weird loops like in the picture😭

I have tried straightening it out, but it keeps folding back on itself. I am worried the cable might start to break around the folded areas. Is this problematic in the long run? How do I stop the cable from tearing or breaking?

Would appreciate any tips! Thanks!

Hola a todos. Quiero saber si alguien más está experimentando estos problemas con su iPhone 17 Pro Max, porque no sé si se trata de un error de software, un problema de procesamiento de imagen o un posible fallo de hardware.

1. Error al cargar fotografías

Al abrir algunas fotos en la aplicación Fotos, aparece el siguiente mensaje:

«No se pudo cargar la foto. Ocurrió un error al cargar una versión de mejor calidad de esta foto».

La imagen queda visible en segundo plano, pero el teléfono no consigue cargar su versión de mayor calidad.

2. Problemas con la cámara frontal y Retina Flash

He notado que, al tomar fotografías con la cámara frontal utilizando Retina Flash, el rostro aparece desenfocado o excesivamente suavizado. El cabello también pierde mucha definición y se ve borroso, como si el procesamiento de imagen eliminara demasiado detalle.

Pruebas realizadas:

• Tengo aproximadamente 110 GB de almacenamiento disponible.
• La sincronización de Fotos en iCloud estaba pausada, pero el problema persistió.
• Desactivé Live Photos, pero tampoco solucionó el inconveniente.

Me preocupa que pueda existir algún problema con el procesamiento de imágenes del dispositivo o con el sistema de la cámara frontal.

¿A alguien más le sucede esto en su iPhone 17 Pro Max? ¿Creen que ambos problemas podrían estar relacionados o que el error al cargar las fotos es independiente de la pérdida de nitidez con Retina Flash?

Me gustaría conocer sus experiencias, especialmente si alguien ha encontrado una solución o ha tenido que acudir al soporte técnico de Apple.

Adjunto una captura del error para que puedan ver exactamente lo que aparece en pantalla.

Hey everyone,
I recently got an iPhone 17, and I’ve noticed something strange with the battery.
When Low Power Mode is ON, the battery backup seems pretty good. But as soon as I turn it OFF, the battery starts draining much faster, and the phone gets slightly warm even during normal usage.
I’m wondering if this could be related to the 120Hz ProMotion display or the higher refresh rate consuming more battery when Low Power Mode is disabled.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue on their iPhone 17? Does the battery drain noticeably faster and the phone get warm when Low Power Mode is turned off?
Also, should I update to iOS 26.1, or is it better to stay on my current iOS version for now? Has the update improved battery life and heating for anyone?

I’d really appreciate your suggestions and experiences. Thanks!

My iPhone has been hacked. The eSIM has been changed to a physical SIM on the iPhone the hacker is using. The three people in my home have all had our accounts compromised. The hacker has our passwords and access to everything from Social Security to DMV.

Ho visto molti dispositivi apple in vendita all’asta giudiziaria sotto il tipo di procedura “COSE DEPOSITATE”(art 1789 c.c)
L’assistenza apple mi ha confermato che con debita fattura e garanzia di acquisto è possibe eventualmente sbloccare il dispositivo qualora fosse bloccato(essendo dispositivi persi credo che il povero cristo in questione lo blocchi subito) ma la mia domanda è. Farei un buon acquisto?

Hi everyone. I’m trying to understand what happened to my Apple Account and whether anyone has successfully resolved a similar situation.

I have used this Apple Account for roughly 15 years. My remaining $1,470 balance is now inaccessible, and support says my Media & Purchases access cannot be restored.

My wife and I traded in our phones together at an Apple Store before the iPhone 18 launch. We each received a $720 Apple Gift Card.

We have just checked the cards and realized that we mixed them up:

• My wife redeemed the $720 gift card issued for MY phone on HER Apple Account. She also redeemed five purchased gift cards. Her account works normally.
• I waited longer because I was planning to get the iPhone Duo. Recently, I redeemed the $720 gift card issued for HER phone on MY Apple Account. I also added $750 through eight purchased digital gift card codes.

We bought the additional gift cards from the same seller. My codes redeemed successfully, and the funds appeared in my balance.

On October 13, I discovered that Media & Purchases had been disabled. I couldn’t even download a free app. My online reactivation request returned “Not eligible for reactivation.” My Apple Account balance was also deactivated: the full $1,470 remains visible, but I cannot use it.

Support initially escalated the case and told me to try again after 24 hours. On October 14, a supervisor said the Media & Purchases restriction would remain permanent and would not disclose the specific reason. They offered to help create a new Media & Purchases account, but that leaves the existing funds unresolved.

Could accidentally redeeming each other’s trade-in gift cards have triggered an automated fraud flag? Does Apple associate these cards with the original device or its previous Apple Account? Both phones belonged to us, and we traded them in together.

Apple has not confirmed that this was the reason. It’s simply something we have now discovered.

I have already filed a BBB complaint and emailed Apple executive contacts. I have trade-in documentation, gift card purchase confirmations, and bank payment receipts.

I’m especially concerned about recovering the $720 credit for the phone we already handed over.

Has anyone recovered access to their balance after a permanent refusal, particularly when it included official Apple Trade In credit? Which team or escalation process actually helped?

There's nothing like havin an iPhone in your pocket, an AWU at your wrist, headphones on and telling Siri to call someone, calling, talking, hanging up and then asking Siri to call another person inly to hear "You need to unlock your phone first!". Well, I choose to direct my anger and frustration at all the product managers, designers and programmers that have Apple stock and live their lifes in Silicon Valley luxury while being totally bad at their jobs.

Finally
Updated my phone and noticed this icon on my finances work phone location. Anyone know what this means?

I am looking to set up multiple iPhone Duo “get ready to pre-order” iPhone Duos to maximise my chance of getting 1 early.

I plan to soon load a gift card to my Apple account.

I will eventually purchase 1 Duo but I want my pre order thing set up so whichever one I end up using, that one uses my gift card credits.

Can anyone confirm this is possible?

Until yesterday I was slowly advancing in the seemingly impossible task of freeing up 24 GB on my iPhone for the IOS update, which I have to do as WhatsApp will stop working without the update soon.

Today, somehow iCloud Drive was the second name in the list of apps taking up space, it was not there yesterday. I have deleted the deletable

Any advise? I am not super savvy when it comes to phones and syncing etc, what matters to me is that I won’t lose WhatsApp message history and photos.

Thank you for any help,

B

Всем привет, столкнулся с такой проблемой, что когда записываю голосовые сообщения/видеосообщения появляется статичный шум, но когда записываю видео через приложение «камера», шум пропадает. Так же шум появляется при звонке

Using base 17, my battery dies much quicker since the ios 27 update. 80% used to last me the whole day, now I have to charge it midday.

Anyone else facing the same issue?
