    Resolved Is iOS 16 still supported?

    Once again, we have to wonder if the iOS version we use is still supported or not. As iOS 17.1.2 has been released today and I got a persistent notification for it on my iPhone SE 2 with iOS 16.7.2, one might guess that iOS 16 will no longer be updated for the devices that support iOS 17.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 Pro Max Front Camera Random Failure - Or so the Apple Store and I thought

    Last Friday night (I was not drinking too many shots nor did I kiss anyone and forget) I was FaceTiming with a friend when suddenly the front camera on my 15 Pro Max went completely out of focus. I tried to gently tap the front of the phone to get it to regain focus with no success a few...

    iPhone 14 Pro Getting back to iOS 16 from iOS 17 on iPhone 14 Pro

    My iPhone updated to iOS 17 and the battery started draining terribly fast. I tried formatting it and restoring it from a backup from before the update to 17 to get back to iOS 16, but unfortunately to no success. Is there any way to get back to the previous system?

    Lighthouse Nightingale Extension on iOS?

    Hey all, I'm trying to debug an issue on my iPhone 13 Pro, running iOS 17. I am using developer mode to examine system processes. I found this obscure process called Lighthouse Nightingale Extension. I've tried googling it. I find information on a macOS Lighthouse extension, but nothing...

    Hi all, I’d like some help please. Running iOS 17.2 beta 3. When I activate a focus mode such as sleep or do not disturb, my calls are not diverting to voicemail, and callers are instead just getting the busy tone. My carrier setting are active to divert calls to voicemail when busy...

    Notes app scanned document

    In iOS 17.x there is no more option to select text in scanned documents. It appears only a kind of magnifying glass. If a photo is inserted, it works as in iOS16.x - text can be selected, copied, etc.

    Resolved Contact Photos Getting Switched After iOS 17

    My wife's phone (iPhone 15 Plus) and my phone (iPhone 12) are swapping photos somehow. Let me explain. I notice when I login to my Mac each day, my avatar is the one my wife uses. I also see my (her) avatar on my phone in Messages and in Contacts. I try to switch the photos back on my Mac or...

    Sound Recognition: Personalized alarms and door bells

    Hey everyone, I am not sure if this feature has been mentioned in any roundups but to me it's new and rather helpful. So if you go to Settings > Accessibility > Sound Recognition > Sounds you can now add personalized alarms and door bells. You then need to play the sound 5 times and the device...

    "Mute/Unmute" pop-up when connecting AirPods?

    Has anyone else been seeing a pop-up on their iPhone instructing on the usage of Mute/Unmute when connecting AirPods? I have the latest version of iOS and AirPods Gen 3. I noticed the pop-up started appearing after updating to iOS 17. I thought it was a one-off, but I still see it every now and...

    Apple Maps have been updated in Denmark. Finally!

    I’ve been wanting the “Street view” and “Bicycle route” feature for quite some time. Today I discovered that it’s suddenly available for me here in Denmark. I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere? It looks like the new detailed maps also is available out of the blue. Nice surprise but I’m curious...

    Was there a UI change to the airplay icon in control centre?

    Just updated to ios 17 yesterday. I was fixing my settings for control centre, and noticed that the airplay icon has a faint white circle situated as kind of a background of the icon. Was that always there or is that a change? I thought it might mean I'd enabled it accidentally, but I always...

    iOS 17: Why do the new Home lock screen widgets require passcode / FaceID ?!

    This doesn't make any sense. Unless I'm missing something... Am I ? For ages I've been using the Home controls on the lock screen trough the Control Center without having to unlock my phone. Since iOS 16 I've also been able to create widgets pointing to shortcuts to control my HomeKit devices...

    New Photos Randomly Not Saving iOS 17 on iPhone 15 Pro Max

    I'm not expecting any fixes from the forum, but putting this out in case others experience the issue. I took several photos yesterday throughout the day. At dinner, six photos in a row did not save. I noticed after the second attempt that it wasn't saving. I showed my wife and tried a few more...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Very sadly returning - so many issues, it's like a beta phone

    I actually really love my new iPhone 15 Pro Max - the new photo capabilities and lighter design have me won over...I really want to keep it and use it as my actual phone. After a week of use though I think the software, from my experience, is a buggy mess which has spoiled the user experience...

    Photo won't send - stuck 'Preparing'

    FB13210816 I have a bad bug with iOS 17.0.2 on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This occurs quite often and I have tried to resolve it by doing a fresh install of iOS, not using my iCloud backup. This doesn't fix it though. A lot of the time, when I go to send a photo from the Photos app to someone via...

    iPhone 13 mini Hot iPhones are a software problem with iOS 17.

    After upgrading to iOS 17 my 13 Mini gets unusually hot while running specific apps (mapping apps in my case). I’m convinced the “Titanium iPhones are too hot” issue is software related and will be corrected by a ”bug fix” update from Apple. Anyone else experiencing a warm/hot device that was...

    Standby Mode is Bad

    My hot take about iOS 17 is that Standby mode is bad in it's current state. This weekend I 3D printed a MagSafe stand for my desk. Been using it all day with my new 15 Pro Max. The photos it displays aren't very customizable. I can't seem to find a way to just pick my family's shared photo...

    StandBy Mode & Battery Health

    While I like the idea of StandBy mode on the phone, it seems at odds with battery health. I was under the impression that leaving a phone charging for long periods of time can contribute to quicker degradation of the battery, so with having the phone needing to be charging for StandBy mode to...
