    Other 16PM to 17 - has anyone given up the telephoto?

    I currently own both the 16PM and the 17. I have a young son so I do sometimes use the telephoto but damn I would be remiss to not acknowledge how amazing 17 feels in the hand. ONe handed use is perfect, it isnt too heavy. I am contemplating letting one device go but can't seem to make up my...

    iOS 27 battery life thread.

    Hey everyone, how’s WWDC 2026 treating you? We’ve heard a new iOS is coming out, and it’s time to dive into the iOS 27 battery life thread!

    Why did iPhone Mirroring suddenly appear in Europe after macOS 26.5.1?

    Hey everyone, I’m in Europe and I’m a bit confused. As far as I knew, iPhone Mirroring was never available here because of EU restrictions, and I’ve never had access to it before. Yesterday I updated my Mac to macOS 26.5.1, and suddenly this appeared on my system. The weird part is that it...

    iOS 26.5 “Pride” Luminance Wallpaper Collection Not Installing

    I downloaded the newly released "Pride" Luminance wallpapers collection from Apple for iOS 26.5. It's showing a ✔️ mark on the "Add New Wallpaper" page, but I can't see the actual wallpapers. I downloaded iOS 26.5 just for these wallpapers, even though I read it has battery life issues! Also...

    iPhone photo quality (improving or getting worse) through continuous iOS update/upgrade using only Apple Camera app

    This is a question for iPhone users who keep their iPhone for about 2 years or longer and upgrades the installed iOS version. My question is, is there a noticeable upgrade or downgrade of photo quality from the initial iOS version on your iPhone as you go through several iOS updates/upgrades...

    iPhone 17 Pro Max Possible Carplay maps issue, has anyone had anything like the following?

    Hi! So far I've enjoyed my return to iPhone (17Pro Max, using iOS 26.4.2), but in a trip of recent, and I had 5 cellphone bars, Apple Maps via Carplay stopped responding when tapping on the car's dash screen but became responsive a few moments later. Completely random. I quickly closed Maps...

    Other Size vs Telephoto: help!

    Considering downsizing from the 16 Pro Max to the 17 base model and wanted to hear from anyone who's actually done it before I commit. My reasoning: the 17 base in hand feels like the right size for how I actually use my phone. Day-to-day, I don't notice I'm "missing" anything on the Pro Max...

    Displaying an iPhone?

    I’m finally getting an iPhone 2G. I thought I’d 3D print a stand or something, but there aren’t many good 30-pin docks. How do you display iPhones? I don’t see this collection getting much larger anytime soon, so I don’t need room to scale it up.

    iPhone 8/Plus Goodbye, old friend. You were a good iPhone.

    I was keeping the 8+ as a backup phone after I bought the 15 Pro Max. To me, the 8+ was the best of the old school iPhones. By that, I mean the old form factor with a home button, TouchID, big bezels, and no notch or hole punches with marketing names like dynamic island. It was a very good and...

    Other Folks who moved from 16PM to 17, worth it?

    I have been contemplating moving to iPhone 17 from the 16 PM. Althought I have no issues with the size it is quite big. Now that the 17 has pro motion - the gap is further reduced. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to use the telephoto lens on the 16PM. If anyone has made...

    Can I use Parallels to run an older iTunes to manage my iPhone/iPad?

    Older iTunes would manage iOS devices with being able to see the screens on your mac, go thru the individual screens to easily rearange icons or delete apps. I'm wondering, CAN I use Parallels to run an older OS, so an older iTunes, and use that to manage my current iOS devices? (also, if so...

    Battery cycle count lagging? (1 cycle logged at 120% discharge)

    Hey everyone, I’m seeing some weird logic on my iPhone Air. After some initial troubleshooting and resets, my cycle count was at 3. I started monitoring the cumulative energy consumption in the analytics to see when it would flip. Mathematically, it should have hit cycle #4 at 100% discharge...
