    HELP! Media controls for Apple TV showing on Lock Screen

    When I am watching Apple TV, the media controls for the TV show keep showing up my Lock Screen when it is locked. I keep having to switch it from “Apple TV Media” to “iPhone” in control center to get rid of it. See attached photo. I am not sure of the setting to stop the auto pop-up controls...

    Super weird bug causing blinking camera app (iPhone 13 Max Pro, iOS 16)

    Hey all, For the past few days I have started seeing this super weird bug in the native camera app on my iPhone. The screen will constantly blink/lag rendering it impossible to take photos. If I switch to video mode it blinks faster until it eventually stops and behaves normal again. Switching...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 (ios16) is buggy as hell

    So my voice dictation decided to stop working on the English keyboard apps are duplicating themselves, the Lock Screen rotation gets wonky and more. Messy messy. The one that pisses me off is the dictation. I’ve removed and re-added the keyboard, reset the network settings, enabled/disabled...

    iPhone XS slow for everyone else on iOS 16?

    A few months ago, I was really happy with my iPhone XS, and felt like I wasn’t really missing out on anything compared to the latest and greatest iPhones outside of a few camera features and a slight speed difference. However, ever since I upgraded to iOS 16, and particularly in this last...

    iOS 16 Calendar - still limited to only 2 alerts per event?!!

    I really wish Apple would let us set more than 2 alerts for a calendar event in iOS. For years, we've been able to set more than 2 alerts in the macOS Calendar! This artificial limitation is the only reason I find myself keeping Fantastical on my phone. Is this really asking too much??? How...

    IPhone 13 Pro Max problems since upgrading to IOS 16

    My problems since installing IOS 16 are so many it’s hard to keep track. I thought it was the phone and through the assistance of the Office of the President of ATT I got a replacement phone. But I am having the same problems. It won’t connect to my home Wi-Fi, and in the ATT store when...

    iOS 16/iPhone 14 Pro needs an all-black always on display option

    iPhone 14 Pro needs a toggle within settings to allow only text to be visible when off. There have been numerous times that I thought the phone was on but it was the always on display just being too bright. It does not help that we can see the wallpaper too. I know there are some tricks to get a...

    HomeKit HKSV Streaming Over Cellular

    HKSV Streaming Over Cellular Hi Everybody, My issue: HomeKit cameras at ONE of my homes will not stream over cellular data. This issue occurs within the Apple Home App ONLY, and NOT within the native brand name apps (Aqara, Eufy). Recordings work normally, and are able to be viewed over...

    iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Flashlight

    Has anyone noticed that the new 14 Pro/Pro Max’s flashlight seems narrower than previous models? Like it seemingly is more focused? I think it is amazing!!

    iPhone 14 Pro Why did my iPhone 14 Pro go into Restore Mode?

    Upgraded to the iPhone 14 Pro about a week and a half ago. Transferred via bluetooth from my old phone to this one. I plugged it in to charge last night and this morning it wouldn't turn on. Things I tried: plugging it into a different outlet holding down power button pressing volume down...

    Why does the calendar widget show today’s date??

    When your day is clear and you have no events coming up, the calendar widget shows today’s date above the text saying your calendar is clear… which is such a weird design choice because the Lock Screen literally has today’s date written in large bold letters at the top of the screen AT ALL...

    Dictation in iOS 16 is driving me crazy…

    Now, much has been written about the “fantastic” new way how you can use dictation and keyboard at the same time in iOS 16. However, one “feature” is making it unusable: I have set up two languages for dictation (English and German). In the old world, it was so easy: Show the English...

    iPhone 14 Pro Okay, wtf is this? (Dynamic Island bug)

    The phone was in portrait orientation the whole time. I did try toggling auto-rotation and trying to realign orientation. The only thing which fixed this was restarting the phone. Pretty random and only occurred once, thought it'd be funny to share here. iOS 16 definitely needs some ironing out.

    Was PWM added in iOS 16?

    I’m highly sensitive to PWM (pulse width modulation). Though PWM is mainly used in OLED screens it’s also used in LCD screens such as the recent MacBooks and iPads. The only iPhone I’ve been able to use without issue is the iPhone SE 2020. But ever since I installed iOS 16 I’ve been getting eye...

    iPhone SE, iOS 15, iOS 16 and learning the ropes

    A couple months ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation, 2022 vintage) direct from Apple, with AppleCare. I am extremely happy with my SE. It is very compact and fits in a pants pocket. It is fast, like a rocket! This is in contrast to my previous smartphone, the buggy, unreliable...

    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 14 Pro Max iPhone 14 series release has Software Issues…

    The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a great looking device and the dynamic island is a fantastic add. However all that aside iOS 16 on an iPhone 14 (I have the pro max edition) is the first phone release I’ve noticed many issues. I do wonder if the software was rushed to production. In my experience, this...

    iOS 16 on older iPhones

    Hi, I just wanted to share my (positive) experience with iOS 16 on my iPhone 8. I was a bit scared due to the nightmare experience that the switch from iOS 14 to iOS 15 was for me. With iOS 15 the system became much slower and I also had often bugs like the phone not responding. A major...
