    iPad How can I watch the Spectrum live tv streaming app on my iPad from my iPhone?

    While I'm driving in my car I can watch live tv on my iPhone, streamed on the Spectrum app. I works great! I wish there was a way to display and watch the app on my iPad via cable or wireless transfer from my iPhone. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? I could probably go and buy...

    iMessage vrs SMS

    This is an "I give up" query. My brother has had an iPhone for many years, as have I. For whatever reason, texts between us always go via SMS. He recently got a second iPhone, and that one also only "does" SMS. To see if the problem was on my end I deleted my brother's entry from Contacts...

    Why Do I Get Charged for a Grindr In-App Feature That Fails to Activate

    Grindr, a gay dating app, has a new 'Boost' feature. Subscribers can pay a one-time $14.99 fee to boost their profile for two hours. I often boost my profile by double-pressing the side button, which says, 'Purchase successful. You're all set.' However, the Boost does not happen. It can take 3...

    iPhone as an appliance, with clear boring UI

    As an iPhone user, who is really into photography both on the phone and various other cameras, I want my iPhone to be a very powerful tool where the UI ‘gets out of the way’ as much as possible whilst I perform my desired tasks. The UI should be a thin, minimal layer that I notice as little as...

    What are some underutilized features or uses of a modern iPhone?

    In the modern world, your smartphone is essentially your passport to everything you do or need on the daily -- your alarm clock, your wallet, your map, and well... your phone. And for the average user, that is what they remain limited to. But these are highly capable and advanced devices with so...

    DSL Reports refugee looking for Apple forum home

    Hi all! I used to enjoy discussing Apple and Apple products on a now-deactivated forum site called DSL Reports. I enjoyed going to the section called All Things Mac, later renamed All Things Apple, to talk about my Apple purchases and ask for help. After the owner decided to close...

    iPhone Does Safari on iOS automatically access to all bookmarked websites secretly?

    Does Safari on iOS/iPadOS automatically (secretly) access to bookmarked websites when I open Safari in background? If so, for what purposes? Having checked the macOS' Safari activities with a third-party app, it seems that when I open Safari on macOS, Safari automatically connects (sending...

    iOS 18.5 Mail blank screen, frozen

    Starting yesterday (June 4), when I open the iOS Mail app, the Inbox (and other mailbox folders) does not populate, remains blank. I can go to the Mailbox list, and enter Inbox, but after a few moments it locks up, and the only recourse is to force close Mail. I’m not alone - friends started...

    Iphone Mirroring on Mac

    Hi, I was really looking forward to the iPhone mirroring function - but this functionality just seems so scrappy - great when it works but most of the time it fails to connect with one or several errors. Is it me, or is there a knack to getting this setup and working reliably. Thanks

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 MaxPro lost 50% of its value in just 18 months - rediculous!

    Hi there, I bought a brand-new iPhone 15 ProMax back in November 2023 for around $1,380, and now, in May 2025, it is only valued at $630. This is absolutely ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone 15 ProMax, but a devaluation of more than 50% in just 18 months is just not acceptable...

    iPhone 16 Pro Is it a problem if the SIM tray on my iPhone 16 Pro doesn’t sit properly on one side?

    Hello! I have a problem with the SIM-card tray on my iPhone 16 Pro. When I insert the tray, one side sits perfectly flush with the frame, but the other side sticks out just a little. It’s a bit noticeable and you can feel it under your finger, which is somewhat annoying. Is this something I...

    I think apple's software quality has declined significantly

    I have identified some bugs and reported them in the feedback app. There are more than 10 cases reported, but apple chose to neglect it and set the resolution to "open" which means they are not gonna fix it what so ever. I have reported another bug and they say it will probably get it fixed in...

    iPad Dolby Vision HDR playback on iPad 6 (A10) vs iPhone 7 (A10)

    Neither the iPad 6 nor the iPhone 7 can record a Dolby Vision HDR video, a feature introduced in iPhone 12 series. While both have A10 as the SoC, why is it that only the iPhone 7 can show/play the video with the correct colors unlike on the iPad 6 (and I think even the iPad 9) where the colors...
