    iPhone 8/Plus My new phone wobbles on flat surface

    My new iPhone 8 seems a tad bit warped. It wobbles corner to corner on a flat surface. I've tried many surfaces, and sure enough. Anyone else? I have only had it open 1 day, and it's barely been in my pocket.

    iPhone 8 paint screatches??

    I’m new to this website but have had trouble finding hell elsewhere. I recently bought a new iPhone 8 gold and after a few days I rubbed it against the side of the shower and found that the paint scratched off on the sides! I’m so disappointed. My old Galaxy S6 didn’t scratch at all after two...

    Ghosting/Jittery Video iPhone 8

    I’ve recently noticed while recording video that there is some really bad jitteriness that I think is also called ghosting. I’m not sure if my ois is broken or something and I cannot find anything anywhere online about this. It’s not super noticeable but it’s definitely there and can ruin video...

    iPhone 8/Plus iphone 8 Call issues

    since getting the iphone 8, i have an issue during phone calls. When on a call, the other person sometimes tells me "i cant hear you" "you're breaking up" "you sound muffled" or something similar. On one day this happened three times. On one call the other person said, turn off your speaker...

    Iphone 8 Screen Frozen

    I have the 8 and an app is completely frozen on the screen. I've tried it shutting it down several ways but no luck. I've tried with iTunes but there is a passcode and I can't override it because the app has just frozen the screen completely. I've tried with the home, power and volume...

    Volume Display on Lock Screen

    The volume buttons on my new iPhone 8 control the ringer volume when the phone is locked. While pressing the volume buttons, on the lock screen, the phone displayed the ringer level. Now, for some reason, it no longer displays the ringer level while on the lock screen. Does anyone have any info...

    iPhone X Battery life maintenance

    I saw an article on twitter stating not to charge your iphone overnight, or from low percentages or keep it charging once it hits 100% as it will ruin the battery performance. They say to charge often from between 50-75%. I was told in the past its the opposite, wait until it’s lower and let it...

    White 8 Plus silicone case

    I have read some reviews on the Apple site stating the 8/8+ and X white silicone cases are discoloring after a few weeks. Can anyone confirm? I really want one but not if this is a known issue. Thanks.

    iPhone 8/Plus Much better reception

    Unlike most users, I live in a rural area where the quality of the reception makes a big impact on me. I thought others who live in areas, where the reception is in and out, might be interested in my experience. I recently upgraded from an iPhone 6 to an 8+ (both on Verizon). The difference in...

    iPhone 8/Plus Rainbow Mark on the back?

    I just recently purchased an iPhone 8, so I also bought a case for it. But when I slapped on the case, rainbow marks started appearing on the glass back? I would assume that it’s from the pressure of the case. Will this destroy the phone or damage it? Because if it will, I’ll purchase a new case.

    iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8 64gb v iPhone 7 128gb

    Looking to upgrade my iPhone and can get an iPhone 8 64gb or an iPhone 7 128gb for about the same cost. I'm not too clued up on the models and technology in general, so would really appreciate some advice as to which is a better investment for a 2-year contract. The new model with less...

    How well do the blue leather cases hold up?

    I just got myself a Cosmos blue iPhone X leather case, just worried how it will hold up over time. Will it change colour quickly? Will it look disgusting? My 7 Plus had a black one, couldn’t tell the difference a year later, looked new. Thoughts? Anyone with a blue leather case? Sharing...

    iOS 11 system storage usage

    Upon checking storage today, I noticed my iPhone 8 Plus 64GB was using nearly 16GB of storage for the system. It used to be only 6GB but it jumped up after updating once to 14GB and now to 16GB. Have no iOS updates waiting to be installed. Is this normal and if not how can I rectify this issue...

    Portrait mode on smaller iPhones

    Why dont Apple make portrait mode on the smaller iphone 7 and 8 if their machine learning is "superior" over google pixel? (they said it in their WWDC on the ios 11 announcement) but google is the one with the portrait with only one lens which is sometimes superior over the iphones 8+,X

    iPhone 8/Plus How to use a song for ringtone on Iphone 8 ?

    I hate to admit how upset I am that iphone 8 allows no easy option to use a song as a ringtone or alarm tone. I know it's just a ring tone, but I don't like change that is forced upon me. I really really really don't want to use canned ring tones or buy ringtones from Apple. I want to use...

    WHICH iPHONE to Get?(future planning)

    I have been a long time android user, however, I usually have had budget phones, less than $250. My parents have decided to let me get a new phone for when I go to college. They say they will pay only $500 so that means up to $600 not pass. I have been thinking about either the Galaxy S8 or...
