    Hi all, 10 days ago we returned home after a 4 week trip. On three of our iPhones, two FaceID models that we had on the trip and one TouchID model that had been turned off for four weeks, trying to change some settings invoked the stolen device protection "secure delay" procedure (the FaceID...

    Thinking of switching from Android - how is the experience of Windows + iOS?

    Hi everyone, I'm a long-time Android user (9.5 years) who is, for the first time, seriously considering switching to iOS - not through any shortcomings of Android itself, but because I really like the iPhone 17 and Liquid Glass (yes, really, I'm surprised by how much I like it). I'm also a...

    iPhone 16 Pro Battery Life Now TERRIBLE with iOS 26

    Has anybody else with an iPhone 16 Pro noticed that battery life is terrible since updating to iOS 26. The battery drains so fast now. I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 on the first day that the software was available. So it's been well over a week. This can't be the new normal in terms of...

    Universal Call Ranger: Pattern-Based Call Blocking

    Hello macrumors folks! I want to share something for those dealing with spam calls that bypass call blockers by just changing the last few digits. We have an app for that called Call Ranger, it's a powerful call blocker that blocks by pattern rather than full numbers, which is way more...

    iOS 26 Settings app search function seems unstable

    Searching for EQ for apple music in the Settings app makes it quit immediately. Actually searching for any setting related to the Apple Music app in Settings has this effect on the latest 26.0 version.

    Apple Music Why can’t we tap the album cover in iOS Music to go straight to the album?

    Has anyone else been annoyed for years that in the iOS Music app you can’t just tap the album artwork while a song is playing to get to the album? Instead, you have to tap the artist name, then choose “Show Album.” Two steps for something that should be one. It’s a clunky design choice, and I...

    26 will be a stinker

    The RC is still a mess, carrying over bugs even from the very first beta. I recently had to reinstall 18 and then update to 26, and my hopes that some of these bugs may be gone were shattered the moment I started using the phone, because I even encountered visual issues I only ever read about...

    Where are the IPSW files stored after an iOS device has been updated?

    Hello! When I update my iPad on my MBP, a complete IPSW file of almost 10 GB is downloaded and stored on the SSD. But where? Many older posts mention the iTunes folder, but this does not exist in Sequoia, and a search for IPSW also shows no results. So, in which directory can I find the IPSW...

    Hi everyone, I’ve been a long-time Mac and iOS fan, and this summer I decided to try something new — building my very first iOS app. The result is Mathintosh: a calculator, tip calculator, and unit converter in one, with a bunch of retro and colorful themes. I grew up loving the look and...

    Apple Music Apple Music Needs Granular Notification Controls for Favorites and Collaborative Playlists

    I’ve noticed that to get new music notifications for artists on Apple Music, they must be marked as favorites, which muddles my ability to curate my true favorite artists. The Podcasts app allows separate toggles for “Following” and “Notifications” for shows—why not adopt this granular control...

    Other iPadOS 26 was getting ready for the foldable iPhone

    I randomly got an idea, and maybe it does make sense. Apple is apparently gearing up to release the foldable iPhone next year, so they started preparing now. iPadOS 26 might have just been a plot to get developers to update their apps to support free window resizing, since that seems to be a...

    Some planned features for iOS 12 were delayed or pushed back. Do you think there are still some planned features that were delayed now with iOS 26?

    iOS 11 seems to be one of the most buggy release despite receiving updates up to iOS 11.4.1 Several articles prior to iOS 12 announcement or WWDC 2018 seem to mention that planned features to be released have been delayed to focus on stability and bug fixes. One year later with iOS 13, Apple...

    Apple Music Add Decade-Based Browsing to Apple Music Library

    I’ve been thinking about how helpful it would be if Apple Music let users filter or browse their libraries by decade — like 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. Right now, there’s no way to quickly pull up all your saved music from a specific era unless you manually create playlists or use workarounds with...
