    Iphone 12 series apple silicone case photos, how does it age?

    Does your case show any signs of wear and tear yet? I tried different colors before choosing the black one, for whatever reason it's way smoother than the other colors I tried and attracts way less lint, not sure why

    iPhone 12 Pro Max nitpicking here, lose mute switch on my iPhone 12 PM?

    Compared to the iPhone 11, which took a bit of force to move the mute button, my 12 pro max seems to way more easy, I'm just wondering if this is normal with the new 12 series or did I just somehow break my mute switch? How do you know when it's broken?

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Okay, so for whatever reason, I see a lot of frame drops when I play a game (like PUBG) and this did not happened before

    for background info: same wifi, same room and same settings When playing PUBG (which I normally use to test this device’s power) everything was smooth until recently, when I suddenly noticed heavy frame drops at the start of the gameplay especially, and then disappear as the game goes along. No...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max this might make no sense, but can magnets on iPhone 12 get weak over time?

    I am not a physicist but just curious, can magnets actually get weak over time? In this attached image it states: "Several factors can weaken the magnetism in a magnet. If a magnet is stored close to heat, strong electrical currents, other magnets, or radiation, it can lose its strength...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max Sweat while sleeping and iPhone 12

    This might be an exaggeration but lately I’m falling asleep and I do so by watching YouTube videos hence holding my iPhone very tightly. However I wake up in the middle of the night with my hands dripping wet and my iPhone covered in sweat, a lot. This of course isn’t the place to ask for...

    iPhone 12 mini Extremely loud lock sound

    This is a weird issue. iPhone 12 mini and iOS 14.3. The lock sound is extremely loud, sound like a thud instead of the subtle click. Doesn't matter the volume setting, it dies it every time. Sometimes putting it in silent mode and back will fix it for a while but the problem would return after a...

    My trusted iPhone 6S stopped working during the weekend and all of sudden I had no other option but to buy a new phone. I liked the old form factor, and settled on the 12 mini.
