1. At least 20% better battery backup than the 17 Pro Max. Lasts 1.5-2 days on moderately heavy usage (no games)

2. Night photography has significantly improved over the 17 Pro Max.

3. The Camera app layout and filters are very versatile and can be tuned to produce excellent results.

4. Glacier and Silver color still seems the safest color choice over Black and Burgundy due to various discoloration issues.

If you would like to know anything else, comment below.

(Sorry for putting owners name out in advance I just don’t have much choice)

I am in healthcare and use Lysol wipes to wipe down my phone, but worry about it damaging my phone in the long term. What do you recommend doing?

What time application do you use on the iPhone?

It pops up every time I open this screen, I hate it

I have this weird issue that when making a video and watching it in Photos, I see this weird grid all over the video. But while filming in the Camera app everything seems fine.

Does anyone have this issue as well…? I’m on iOS 27.0.1 and got this phone a week ago.

Look at the white bulb to see it better.
So the first screenshot is the video, second is a normal photo which is fine.

While I was using my phone it suddenly restarted by itself and displayed a red glitch screen. After I force restarted it, the screen turned blue and got stuck on the glitch screen. I haven’t been able to use my phone since.

Quick update: i went to Apple service provider, The shop said it is a logic board issue. Sadly, my warranty expired at the end of last month. So no freebie.
They said the issue caused by overheating or dropping it from a height. It didn’t happen as far as i remember.Unfortunately, I have to pay 16,000 THB (around $480) to replace logic board. 😭

We just got new phones and our iCloud 50GB is used up between 2 people. I’m thinking of not saving photos/videos anymore. Is there other options to occasionally backup that media? Maybe something to plug into the iPhone and download them?

We have iPhone 18’s. Thanks

I was texting someone and the icon that says they were typing was in this scribble style that I’ve never seen before. I went to go screen record and then it went back to normal.

Does this mean anything in particular?

It was scribbling in the dots and then erasing the previous one.

But how would I go about changing the app icons on my phone to be something like this? I am on a iPhone 11 Pro

Hello, I bought an IPhone 13 like 5 months ago. It worked fine for a while, but it’s begun to struggle. It heats up, sometimes lags out and doesn’t respond for long seconds, and almost crashes every time I open my camera.
I’m not very familiar with technology of this kind, and I’m not sure how to proceed or why this is happening. I’ve heard stuff about Apple’s unnecessary updates to deliberately slow things down to try and push the purchase of a new phone—is there any way for me to mitigate this?
Just looking for ideas and thoughts because I’m not quite sure what to do.

Not sure if it's just me, or it's the new iOS, or this is normal.. but anyone else open a conversation in messages and then press the message bubble and it doesn't open? It takes a good second or two before being able to press the message button.

I just upgraded to an iPhone 17 today and my watch wouldn’t connect. I had to reset my watch to be able to get it to connect. I have an apple watch series 3. I have always used the “favorite” category in my photos to have a changing watch face. There used ti be an option for photos on the watch and the watch app. I cannot seem to find it anywhere.

I have googled this problem but I have not been able to find a solution for this.

Any suggestions?

Edit: For anyone who’s also experiencing this problem, I found a single comment from another person referring to a solution on this.

- Set WiFi, Bluetooth & Cellular to OFF (Do this by going into settings and actually toggle them off)
- Open date & time, then change “set time automatically” to off and adjust it to 6+ months ahead
- You can then turn cell/wifi/bluetooth back on.

That should be it and the ghost accessory should be gone, mine didn’t require restarting my phone and I just toggled “set time automatically” back on!

Hey everyone,

I just bought the new iPhone 18 Pro Max and I'm looking for some suggestions. I don't know which earphones I should buy for it. I previously used the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro with my old Samsung phone, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on new wireless earbuds right now, so I thought about going back to wired.

I was considering the wired AKG ones (ironically, Samsung's brand), but I don't know if they will have good sound quality on an iPhone compared to a Samsung phone.

Do you have any recommendations? I'm looking for earphones with silicone tips, not the hard plastic ones.

Thanks for any advice!

Just got an 18 pro and the wallet keeps opening asking to double-click.

I have no case, the phone is untouched on my desk with the screen on. It is in the same spot as my previous iPhone 12 but this has never happened before. It is next to my work iPhone 13 but if i try to put both together, nothing happens. NameDrop is off on both phones. Turned off most wallet settings that I can find.

To me, this HAS to be an issue with iOS27 or the iPhone 18 pro, but guides haven't helped. Seems there are many reports, but none resolved. If you have found something that worked for you please let me know!

I recently downloaded the Black Spaces app and made some customizations to the appearance of my phone to make it more minimal. I didn't like the widget as the shortcuts weren't working. I decided to keep the app for the auto locking feature but i want to change my home screen back. I cannot for the life of me figure out why my dock is staying solid black. I've tried messing with the invert, glass transparency, home screen customizations. And as you can see, it never changes from solid black even when I select the clear or light theme. Please help!
For reference, I have the iPhone 16 pro max and ios 27.0.1 (up to date)

ANY tips, suggestions, ect are greatly appreciated! I am so frustrated I want to throw my phone against the wall when my microphone goes off or worse cuts off while I am talking. Does anyone else have this same issue? No matter where I am, what app I am using, how strong my signal is, even when I am alone & there is no one or nothing with me to cause background noise it still cuts off while I am talking OR it will not come on!! I have tried so many things/suggestions I have gotten online, but still nothing. I even did the shortcuts option, and the problem is the same.
Can someone please help??
