    iPhone SE (2016) Apple Screwed Up the Keyboard on Smaller iPhones...

    I don't know if this is intentional or if it's a byproduct of less testing being done on smaller phones, but hear me out: the first-generation iPhone SE is harder to type on than the iPhone 5S and 5. I've noticed this and so have friends and family. I own a couple variants of the 5S, all on iOS...

    iPhone 5S on iOS 10.2 or update it to 12?

    Recently picked up a iPhone 5S for my old iPhone collection and it came with iOS 10.2 I’m just wondering if these have any special value like some older iPhones on older versions, or should I just update it to 12?

    Is the S in iPhone 3GS, 4S, 5S, 6S, XS, XS Max Capitalized? On Wikipedia it shows that after the iPhone 4S it becomes lowercased. Just wondering.

    Can't update to Watch OS 5.2 (or later)

    Hi, I just purchased a series 4 watch. It's currently on Watch OS 5.13 and I would like to update to at least 5.2 so I can use the ECG function here in the UK. Admittedly, my iPhone 5s is a grandpa by today's standards. But I don't feel the need for a new phone, and it runs iOS 12.4.2 perfectly...

    I use this 5S as my secondary phone, so I don’t really use it but would it be usable with the latest iOS? In fact, not the worst but not the best, too. :D
