    iPhone 16 Pro Max Bug or Defect? Try this test - iPhone 16 Pro Max

    My iPhone 16 Pro Max’s screen has been intermittently flashing pink and I’m worried it may be a hardware issue and I’ll miss the return window. Of note, I bought it to Apple and after running tests, they don’t believe it is a hardware issue. They also didn’t have my exact phone in stock to...

    Apple Watch 6 screen came off

    My screen came off on its own. Never used it in water. Never even wore it in the shower. It's just out of the 2 year EU warranty. Apple suggested to send it in to a certified service location at the cost of a new one! Suggested that if I take it there personally that the repair cost could be...

    Question on lens minor defect

    Hi, interested in the views of people used to assessing or repairing iPhones. One of the lenses on new iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to have a slight defect or discolouration at the edge. Seem to have no effect on photos and I am not bothered by it unless there was a risk it could affect lens...

    Blown Speaker on 2017 MacBook Pro 15-inch

    Hi everyone, I have had my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) blow one of its speakers, and temporarily damage another on two separate occasions. It seems semi-reproducable: plug in genuine wired Apple EarPods into the headphone jack on the laptop, play some music in Apple Music, then unplug the...

    Administrative problems with “ghost touch” that are attributed to hardware damage

    I have an iPhone SE that has been exhibiting problems with an intermittently unresponsive touch screen that is sometimes affected by “ghost touch.” I have been advised that the problems result from hardware damage and that they are not caused by remote administrative control enabled by Apple...

    Apple’s “machining tolerances” have really gone down the crapper in recent years.

    MacBook just came out of repair and I noticed that the power button/Touch ID sensor has a small nick on the top edge, and the Apple Store employees and manager said that it was considered within normal machining tolerances. Really sucks because I personally would not tolerate this in the...

    14 inch - faint yellow banding (next to notch) on left of screen? - color uniformity on white not great

    I got my MacBook Pro (14 base) today, however I am noticing that there is a faint yellow or green vertical band (yellow tint area) to the left of the notch, very close to the edge of it. It is extremely faint and hard to notice, hard to take a picture of, yet my eyes are hypersensitive and it is...

    New MacPro 14 inch Keyboard Issue

    I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue and/or if this is normal. In addition to having the keyboard backlight issue that appears to be common, where some keys have some light leakage from the bottom in an uneven way, I'm also having an issue where some keys click or sound...

    Remote IR Plate Misaligned on Apple TV 4K (2021)

    It’s hard to see from the picture below but if you run your finger up the top left of the remote you can feel the black plate is hanging off just a little. If you run your finger down the top right in the remote you can feel that the plate isn’t flush with the body of the remote. And that their...

    Weird USB behaviour on MacBook Pro 15" (Mid 2015): USB 2.0 works, but USB 3.0 doesnt.

    I recently discovered that my right USB port somehow only supports USB 2.0, when I connect a 3.0 device it is not even recognized. I made a little experiment: USB 3.0 flash drive connected to the left USB port: just works. Then a USB 2.0 extension plugged between the drive and the mac: works...

    Magic Keyboard Defect/Tear

    Hi Everyone, I was hoping I could get some guidance/opinion on an issue I’ve discovered with my Magic Keyboard for my 11“ iPad Pro. On the left hinge area (near the USB-C port) there seems to be some kind of bubbling or fraying. It almost looks like it could tear at some point in near future...

    Touch Pad Defect Brand New MBP

    It seems like there's a bright scratch on the top left of the touchpad on this new MacBook Pro that I just opened today. It is only visible from an angle in a lit room. The problem is that it is very distracting and is most prevalent from the angle that the laptop would normally be used from. Is...

    iPhone X iPhone X Screen More Pink than Other iPhone X Screen

    I had a suspicion that my iPhone X screen (with max brightness, no night shift, no true tone, and no auto-brightness) had a color defect. The screen looks overall more pink on a white background. I tested this theory with my dad's new iPhone X and his looks less pink than mine with the same...
