    Flashlight - AAA vs 18650 Batteries

    Finally upgraded the flashlights in my house after the ones we had got a wee bit old. Decided on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FK5XYN4?psc=1&smid=A2N4P33Z7UPC2W&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp to replace all the ones we had (failing rechargeable lantern, 2 rechargeable Anker flashlights from 2016, etc)...

    Background Processing: Messages, Calendar, Home Accessories, Flashlight

    There is one other potentially related post on this, but it only covers the Messages app. I do think this post is important I hope the mods leave it up… I find that for every hour I have messages app in the foreground it’s accompanied by 20-30 minutes of background processing. Not crazy about...

    Flashlight and Camera gone from lockscreen - iOS 16 - iPhone SE 3rd Gen 2022

    The title sums it up. My flashlight is fully functional, and shows up in the control center just fine. But no more button (for the camera either) on the lock screen. It's been like this since day 1 on the iOS 16 update. Can't figure out what I'm missing, or if they simply removed them for...

    iPhone Iphone SE 1st gen on ios 13.5 dimmer flashlight

    Anyone noticed it? After i updated to 13.5 from 12.3 i have noticed that my flashlight is not bright as it used to be on IOS 12. Because now i can even stare at it with eyes wide open, which previously was not even possible on my 1st gen SE.

    iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max flashlight is green?

    So I’m in my room, all the lights are off and for whatever reason I decided to test the flashlight to see how powerful it was compared to last years’ iPhone. The flashlight on my midnight green iPhone seems to have a very noticeable green hue. I’m assuming it’s reflecting the green from the...

    iPhone XS Max My iPhone Xs MAX Flashlight gets HOT, does yours?

    I usually walk my dog at night and use my phone's flashlight to see. Tonight, after walking the dog, I forgot to turn my flashlight off on the phone and put the phone in my front pocket with the camera side facing my leg, a few moments later I felt my leg was burning up. I quickly got the phone...

    "Hey Siri - turn on the flashlight"

    I discovered that when I say this "turn on the flashlight" to my AW, the light turns on there instead of on my phone. I'm already finding this handy. Even though the AW flashlight mode isn't very bright, I've already found it useful on several occasions.

    No flashlight on 2 iphone?

    Hi, I searched the iOS 10 forum and didn't see this topic come up, so sorry if it's already there. I upgraded my iPhone 6S to iOS10, wife too. Now, when we "swipe" up to get the flashlight icon, mine is totally not there anymore! It's like they removed the flashlight from my iPhone. On my...
