    iPad How come the iPad Pro with eSIM is not getting the eSIM QR Code scanner?

    If Apple is adopting the GSMA eSIM standard (QR Code Scan to add a provider) why doesn't the iPad Pro with eSIM support it like the iPhone XS on iOS 12.1 β?

    iPhone XS Complete list of XS versus XR differences

    Every article I’ve read has an incomplete list of differences between the Xs and Xr, so I thought I’d make a list that people can read and add to. What the Xs has that the Xr does not: 1. The Xs has twice the cellular antennas (Gigabit-class LTE with 4x4 MIMO and LAA), so it’s able to go faster...

    iPhone XS Max Wow Horrible Unfair iPhone Xs Review From A Good Youtuber

    I am a big fan of Linus, but this review of the iPhone was so unfair and don't understand how such a reputable Youtuber gives such a hateful review?. I've had my Xs Max for a few weeks now and I am still impressed by it. He said there is hardly any difference between X and Xs, well I bought Xs...

    iPhone XS IPhone XS battery health

    Yesterday I noticed that the battery health of my IPhone XS is at 97% already. When I checked the battery health just a little over a week ago my battery health still was at 100%. Is this even normal? I have my IPhone XS since launch day. I’m on also on IOS version 12.01 right now. Even though...

    iPhone XS Photos: how to turn down/off NOISE REDUCTION?

    Overall, I think the XS camera is better, especially coming from an 8. Better low-light especially. But there are a lot of instances where the noise reduction is way, way over-aggressive. Especially when the shots involve people, faces and skin, but I also see a lot of other instances where...

    iPhone Text message forwarding not working in iOS 12

    Ever since activating my iPhone XS, I either no longer receive SMS messages on my iPad or Mac, or they come in several hours delayed. This problem either began when I first installed iOS 12 on my iPhone 6S, or possibly a few days later when I activated my iPhone XS. I have now upgraded to 12.0.1...

    Looking for some advice. Just received my XS Max, my first FaceID phone, and was wondering what is the most secure way to set up. I don't have anything to hide on my phone, but in these days where officials can and do force people to open their phones for inspection if they have used TouchID...

    i got the iPhone Xs at launch. About once a day since Saturday, I have noticed that while the phone shows great LTE signal, when I try to do something on the internet, the phone says it’s not connected to the internet.

    Ex iPhone Users - Why Did You Switch To Android?

    Hey guys, I know a lot of people come from android to iPhone and never look back. I have always used iPhone from my first phone, and would not consider switching.
