    IOS data recovery tools? Hot or Not?

    In the process of factory resetting a couple of iPhones to sell, i came across a number of tools claiming to be able to recover deleted data from iPhones. Is this actually possible? Some of them are quite expensive, so i presume they must offer something. As i have had everything from credit...

    I want to create a shortcut that disables all notifications when I open an app (including banners (so dnd is not what I want)), and when I close that app the shortcut enables back all notifications. To do that I need to change the value of "show previews" in the settings. How can I do it?

    Other Which phone did you buy in the last year and why?

    Hi all, would love to know everyone's choice and why. Do people like the new redesign? What do you think of it compared to other phones you've owned? I, myself, got a Mini as I've got tiny hands and had been waiting for a small phone ever since the iPhone 5! 😄 (my favourite iPhone I've owned)...

However, it is also true that none of my previous iPhones were as expensive as this one. Are there any good counter arguments as to...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max can I have possibly loosened the mute switch on my iPhone 12?

    I had to put my iPhone on and off into silent mode using the switch about 20 times fast and continuously for a reason, the switch works as it should but can this have weakened something inside? Something that would make it break quicker?

    iPhone 12 Pro Max this might make no sense, but can magnets on iPhone 12 get weak over time?

    I am not a physicist but just curious, can magnets actually get weak over time? In this attached image it states: "Several factors can weaken the magnetism in a magnet. If a magnet is stored close to heat, strong electrical currents, other magnets, or radiation, it can lose its strength...

    Other Iphone 13! In the new iOS update the Face ID unlocks with the mask so what reason do we have to believe that the new iPhone will have the Touch ID?

    It would have made sense if they re-introduced Touch ID using COVID as an excuse, however now they have managed to make Face ID work with the mask.. Secondly, as someone else said, apple implements one feature at a time so I find it hard to believe that they will include 120hz (the most likely...
