    iPhone 7/Plus Upgrade now or wait?

    I've got an iPhone 7 256GB and aside from having my original swapped out a year in because of a faulty battery — I have no complaints. To date, I've never gone with the Plus because they just seem massive. But I'm going to India in August for almost two weeks for work and I'll be doing a fair...

    Fast charging a lie?

    I purchased today from Apple the 29W USB-C Power Adapter and the Lighting to USB-C cable to fast charge my iPhone 8 Plus. It took it more than 60min to get from 46% to 100%. Is that supposed to be fast or am I missing something here? I plugged it into a power strip, could that be the reason why...

    iPhone 8/Plus Best way to switch from iPhone (with upgrade program) to Pixel?

    I got my iPhone 8+ in November or October as part of the Apple Upgrade program. I pay around $45 a month for this (instead of buying the phone outright) which is supposed to be for 24 months.

    iPhone 8/Plus Proximity sensor not working during incoming calls only

    On my 8 Plus during incoming calls the proximity sensor fails to turn the screen back on if I raise the phone from my ear. Have to hit home button etc. Yes its fitted with a 3D type/Edge to Edge screen protector but during outgoing calls the proximity sensor sensor works just fine. Any ideas?
