    iPhone 13 iPhone 13s are a bit overrated

    So I think this year is an easy pass to anyone who has an iPhone XS/XR or newer because ngl I believe that next year the whole lineup will have ProMotion and better batteries… I think this year for Apple was a mehh and next year will be the ground-breaking announcement. Even the iPad mini (which...

    “Hold on a sec…” automatic reply

    Something is replying automatically with “Hold on a sec…” and also ”I’m driving…”. I assume it has something to do with Focus but I can’t find where to customize it (if it is even possible). Note, I also have an Apple Watch with watchOS 8 — so it might be coming from there but I didn’t see any...

    iPhone XS Max and AW Series 6 owner here. I have been using the function Unlock with Apple Watch since its inception and have loved it, but something has changed since the update to iOS 15 and watchOS 8. There is a Face ID feature that I consider very important to keep my iPhone secured...

    Can Lock PDFs, but Not Remove the Lock

    I just went through and locked several PDFs stored in iCloud via the Files app. I attempted to remove a lock using the same method and there doesn’t seem to be a way to unlock them. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I hope this feature is forthcoming.

    Apple TV + HomePod Mini Stereo Pair - one one speaker working

    Maybe it’s just buggy but I’ve spent some frustrating time on it and have come up with nothing. First, I updated everything to xOS 15. I then paired my HomePod minis and AirPlay works fine to listen to music from my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. They all work great. Apple TV works great, too, when I...

    Is it possible to edit or rename Focus groups on iOS 15?

    I see here that it's possible to rename and edit the icon for a Focus Mode on Mac OS Monterey (pics attached). But I'm not running Monterey and see no such options on my iPhone running 15.0. Anyone else have any luck? Thanks in advance! Wills

    iOS 15 device backups with macOS High Sierra 13.6 & iTunes backup?

    Will I still be able to backup my iPhone (with the new iOS 15 upgrade) to my ol' MacBook Pro with High Sierra 13.6? Has anyone tried this, and been able to confirm? Usually iTunes downloads a little update to make it compatible with the newest iOS, but I'm worried that Apple will soon leave we...

    Notification Summary and Focus reduced in usefulness until popular messaging apps don't implement "Direct Messages" and Focus Status Sharing

    Hi everybody, I just updated to iOS 15, still I think a huge drawback to Focus and Notification Summary, which are two big improvements to iOS 15, is that only iMessage (AFAIK) supports them. The two main messaging apps I use (Telegram and Whatsapp) don't seem to be implementing it yet. What...

    Upgrade to iOS15 before new iPhone transfer?

    To ensure the speediest transfer of my current iphone to my new iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is arriving 9/24/21, should I upgrade my current iPhone 11 Pro to iOS 15 before then?

    Are you updating to iOS 15 today?

    Curious to know how others approach this. Me, I always wait for the first incremental update to save myself the trouble I've occasionally had in the past. Feel free to post and motivate your choice, and to prevent the thread from sinking. Thanks & happy updating, whenever (if) you do!
