    Apple MagSafe Wallet falling apart

    So I have had this wallet since they came out, about 3 years ago. It’s falling apart now. I contacted Apple support and they said this is normal and it has “had a good run” but I could take it in for a Genius Bar appointment. Has anyone else had this happen?

    iOS 17: Dynamic island?

    I’m finding it funny that the biggest feature of last year’s iPhone hardware update is getting nothing new added in iOS 17. Do you think there will be any new Dynamic Island features this year? Doesn’t currently seem so 🤔

    iCloud "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." but more than 2TB are available

    I want to switch to the Galaxy A54, but how would that work in the Apple ecosystem?

    Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A54 in The Netherlands with sweet trade-in deals and offers. On top of that it received a price cut and it's now a bargain on online marketplaces.
