    Stuck in Booting Loop

    I am on iPhone 13, iOS 16.3.1 (fresh out or warranty). I noticed my iPhone started rebooting by itself this morning, and when rebooting, the phone would stay stuck in a rebooting loop for a min or two (going through 6 or 7 reboots) before fully booting up. I looked at the Analytic logs and found...

    Why can't I whitelist Safari during Downtime?

    This is so stupid. I really am baffled at Apple's software decisions nowadays. To try and cut down my night time phone usage, I've enabled Downtime, so that I can restrict apps usage (mainly social media) and make sure I can wind down and get ready for sleep easier than before. Yeah, all great...

    dismissing notifications globally

    All the notifications I get to my iPhone (reminders, chess games, wallet purchases, etc.) also get mirrored to my Mac. That's fine I like that. No problem there. Now, lets say I dismiss them all on my Mac because I've dealt with them. Then I go pick up my phone to leave the house, and there they...

    Logging into App Store on old devices after turning on Advanced Data Protection

What happens when you try to log into the App Store (on iOS or macOS) on an older device (e.g...

    Possible malware through Lightning to HDMI adapter?

    My friend bought some random no-name Chinese Lightning to HDMI adapter off of Amazon. Without thinking, I was the first one to test it out with my phone to connect it to a TV.

    This YouTuber has actually made Siri useful.

    For eons, Siri has been arguably one of the worst voice assistants on the market. For eons, your queries have either elicited the responses "Here's what I found", "Just a sec" or "Something went wrong." Ladies and Gents, this goes on no longer. I implore all of you to check out IDeviceHelp's...

    iPhone 14 Pro Is there any way to disconnect the black area between the face id sensor and the front-facing camera on the dynamic island?

    Am I the only one finding the punch-hole display fascinating? I don't know why Apple doesn't give users the freedom to choose whether they have a 'pill' or 'mark' notch. I kind of like the disconnected style to remind me of the technology behind the OLED screen, which IOS 16 has those 'islands'...
