    iPhone 16 Pro “Popping” sound from iPhone 16 Pro speaker when changing volume.

    Have anyone else noticed their iPhone 16 Pro speaker “popping” when changing volume. I get it occasionally when changing volume. Especially on YouTube. Since it’s not happening every time I’m wondering if it could be software related?

    Bullstrap cancelled iPhone 16 PM Case w/o any reason

    Disappointed with Bullstrap! Last week BS was running a site wide 20% off and I placed an order for a Terra 16 PM case. They cancelled and refunded the order without any reason (no email / no text). Did anyone had a similar experience? Was hoping to get my hands on the new case, however, this...

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Sell iPhone 16 Pro Max or stick with it?

    I got the 16 Pro Max from the 15 Pro on launch day. The screen and battery is so good. But, after a month, I realized that I spent so much on this phone, I got 512gb of storage, since I only use 30gb. And because there are hardly ever a big difference between this years 16 Pro and Pro Max...

    Other Which two to daily? iPhone X Pixel.

    I am in a position where my work (or I would like to think it) requires me to carry two phones, to be able to test and use our mobile apps on both iOS and Android. I previously mostly carried an iPhone as my primary phone and a Pixel as a secondary, only exceptions were HTC One, Pixel 2 XL...

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Bug or Defect? Try this test - iPhone 16 Pro Max

    My iPhone 16 Pro Max’s screen has been intermittently flashing pink and I’m worried it may be a hardware issue and I’ll miss the return window. Of note, I bought it to Apple and after running tests, they don’t believe it is a hardware issue. They also didn’t have my exact phone in stock to...

    iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro/ProMax - Storage Speeds

    Recently came across this thread on Reddit: Apple did switch to QLC for the larger storage iPhone 16 models. Likely means a hit to performance and reliability compared to the TLC versions previously. With that said, I can't honestly tell as my 16 Pro 512GB just zips right through everything I'm...

    Just got a iPhone 16 Pro max for my wife and it is overheating when charging. It overheated when i was transferring from her previous phone and again when she was charging it the next day. Not hot enough to burn or shut off but enough to be uncomfortable. Should i exchange it? Anyone else seen this?

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Why I’m Upgrading from iPhone 14 Pro Max to iPhone 16 Pro Max (Even Though It’s Not a Huge Leap)

    So, here’s the deal - I’ve been rocking my iPhone 14 Pro Max (256GB) for a while now, and honestly, it’s been great.

    CarPlay - wired - broken with iOS 18.0 and iPhone 16

    I know this is probably similar to the issues iPhone 15 owners experienced last year. But my wife and I have 2 new iPhone 16 Pro Max with iOS 18.0 (moving from iPhone 14 Pro Max) and while both can initially connect to our 2018 Mazda6 via CarPlay, the CarPlay interface in the vehicle becomes so...

    iPhone 16 Pro Max Unbelievable In Store Time

    Now grant it, some of my problem was American Express having an error of some sort processing to my bank and not being able to fix it (they reported the issue up line).
