    iPhone XS Max plays Bluetooth audio in car but cannot be controlled from car

    On my 6 Plus with all versions of iOS 12, the communication between the phone and car was perfect with Pandora and Apple Music. Album art and song artist/title always displayed, and I could control the music apps from the car controls. This car, a Tesla Model S does not have Car Play, but...

    Other iPhone availability at T-Mobile stores

    I live in the raleigh, NC area. So, the day before the new iPhones went on sale, I called my local tmobile. They said the phones will be available the next day in store. The next day arrived and they said they had not gotten their shipments in. All area stores had not gotten their shipments...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS Max Unresponsive

    I’ve been using my iPhone XS Max for 5 days. Yesterday I picked it up and found it completely unresponsive. It had been sitting idle by the sofa for about 45 minutes with plenty of battery. The screen was off, did not come on when I touched it, it went straight to voicemail when I tried to call...

    iPhone XS Max Xs Max Screen Poor In Sunlight?

    Was just using my Max under sunlight, and it looked really poor. Away from sunlight it looks as a expect, very nice. But I don't remember the LCD models looking as bad under sunlight, but I might check my old iPhone under sunlight and compare - but the OLED Max doesn't seem great. Even at full...

    iPhone XS Iphone XS Frame Dropping

    Iphone XS and XS Max owners, have you noticed any frame dropping on your devices? It is not too obvious, but when in an app, specifically where there are a lot of images, I've noticed frame dropping, or some sort of lag. This is only if I scroll very specifically as slowly as possible, removing...

    iPhone X Call quality: XS and XS Max

    Last 2 iterations of iPhones--8 and 7--had horrible call quality for the person on the other end, as documented by countless people on the Apple forums. I experienced it myself. In fact, to this day I use the 6 Plus because of its superior sound quality for those getting my calls. Did Apple...

    Other iPhone XS Max seems to fast charge faster 80-100%

    Hey iPhone XS Max owners! I use a 29w USB-C charger, and I noticed that it charges the XS Max faster than it charged my X. On the X, the fast charge was between 0-80%, but it seems that with the XS Max, the fast charge is all the way to 100%! Any way to scientifically prove this?

    Other Post some love for your new XS/XS Max!

    Got my space gray XS today as an upgrade from my silver 8 Plus. I absolutely love it. I love how the screen is about as big yet it’s so much more manageable and lighter. I picked two Apple leather cases, a product red and a black one. Love it all! The iPhone upgrade program worked flawlessly again!

    Other Which color for iPhone XS Max?

    I've always had space gray iPhones, but am thinking of trying a new color this time for iPhone XS Max. I'm not a gold person and inclined to get a silver one, but afraid it would be too flashy for men given its larger size than the X/XS. Which color do you prefer for the iPhone XS Max?

    Other Whats the difference?

    So I purchased a Verizon iPhone from Apple at full retail. On my invoice, it says its model MT6J2LL/A what's the technology difference between that and the MT5D2LL/A which is the model of the sim free. Is it just that the Verizon model ships with a SIM but they are inherently the same devices...

    Other iPhone X resell 'disaster'

    I have been fortunate enough to purchase my new phone every year outright by using the funds from reselling my previous model, and this year I was planning on selling my iPhone X to help buy the iPhone XS Max. I'm not really a fan of trying to sell my devices on eBay and so usually just take...

    Smart Battery Case for iPhone XS

    Hello, are there any details on if there will be a Smart Battery Case for the iPhone XS? I know that there wasn’t any made for the X, but it would be nice if it were one made for the XS becuase it will determine of I get that of the XS Max.

    iPhone 8/Plus Keeping dust and lint out of the speaker grill?

    Anybody have any ideas how to keep dust and lint from collecting in the speaker grills of iPhones? Or ideas on cleaning them? The grills on my current iPhone 8+ are pretty dirty and wondering if I can prevent that on my Xs Max.

    iPhone X Tozo Ultra-Thin Case Compared To iPhone XS Max Case Tozo Ultra-Thin

    Just received a Tozo Ultra-Thin case for my XS Max and was pleasantly surprised at its size. It's practically the same exact overall size as a Plus phone but manages to cram in a significantly larger display. I'm looking at my iPhone X with disgust (not really), now that my XS Max has shipped...
