    iPhone 12 Upgrade for cheap - iPhone 12 vs 13

    Hi, all. I'm a high school student who's an enthusiast and wants to get a nice, shiny new iPhone for their big 18. I watched WWDC during class (kinda sad, innit?), and I was absolutely drooling over a $830 iPhone 16 when it came out. And then, I went to Walmart and found that the iPhone 12 is...

    iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12/12 Pro Owners - Will you finally be upgrading to 16/16 Pro?

    I have been rocking the iPhone 12 Pro for 4 years now and each year I find myself debating on upgrading or not. Needless to say, I have not upgraded (obviously). I am not sure exactly what it is, but maybe it is due to the fact that phones are now like TVs or Laptops and are simply at a mature...

    iPhone 12 Won’t Recognize SIM

    I bought a refurbished iPhone 12 a month or so ago on Amazon. I use AT&T PrePaid. I took the SIM out of my iPhone X and just put it in the 12 when I got it and it worked, but I would occasionally get a prompt out of nowhere saying something like “No SIM detected” The weird thing was I would be...

    I’m upgrading my iPhone 12 this week to either an iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max. I’d love some feedback from people about sizing/weight and people who have sized up. I use my iPhone 12 mostly two handed, even though I’m 6’4 and have average to large size hands. I never use my 12 with one hand...

    OtterBox Defender XT - back protection

    I just ordered an iPhone 12 and the Aneu and Defender XT cases. My preference goes to the latter, as I feel more secure with port covers. The problem however is that I have read multiple reviews about the case offering zero protection to the back when dropped, resulting in easily smashed back...

    iPhone 12: 4 x faults at once, have I got a lemon?

    I've had my iPhone 12 for 2 years from new, and all of a sudden the Face ID, compass, screen lock (when you're on a call) and brightness setting all stopped working at once. This has been confirmed as hardware failures by Apple, but they don't actually specify what's caused the issues, they only...

    PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) on MacBooks compared to iPhones and iPads

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any informations about PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) and how it compares across devices. I have an iPhone 12 and an iPad Pro (m1).
