    How do I block unwanted phone calls?

    About a year ago, I bought my first-ever iPhone. It sees light use as a voice-phone and texting device. Lately, I've seen a noticeable up-tick in unwanted phone calls and text messages. This one phone number from a distant area code, that I had never seen before recently, called me at least...

    Cellular Connection Issues - U.S. Mobile

    This past Spring (2022), I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation) direct from Apple. My previous cellular service provider (CSP) was pre-paid, minutes-based Tracfone. I learned that Tracfone was acquired by Verizon and was booting some of the existing cellular customers off of Tracfone to...

    Is my iPhone dead?

    Just this past spring, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation) direct from Apple with AppleCare. Just before bed, I decided to plug-in my iPhone for recharging overnight. When I plugged it in, nothing happened. It didn’t respond. I tried to wake it. I could not get it to do anything...

    Apple Contacts and multiple online databases

    A few months ago, I switched from Android to iPhone. I am still getting used to doing things the iPhone way. One nagging minor problem eludes solution for me: Apple's Contacts. I am accustomed to using Google Contacts. One great thing I like about making new contacts in Google's Contacts...

    My iPhone won't ring

    I bought my iPhone SE (2022), having never had an iPhone before. For some strange reason, incoming calls trigger only a vibration. The phone does not ring. How do I set this up so the phone actually rings during an incoming call?

    Belkin's iPhone webcam mount and the iPhone SE?

    I am new to iPhone. A few months ago, I bought my first iPhone, an SE (2022 / 3rd gen.; currently on iOS 15.7) I understand Belkin is releasing a mount so you can place your iPhone on top of a computer monitor and use the iPhone as a webcam for your computer for teleconferencing. Will this...

    Uploading photos - lack of options

    I apologize in advance if my questions seem ignorant, but I am totally new to iPhone and to IOS 15. I purchased my first iPhone (an SE 2022; iOS 15.7, Model MMX83LL/A) a few months ago and I'm having difficulty learning how to operate it. It seems like everyone assumes that everyone already has...

    iPhone SE, iOS 15, iOS 16 and learning the ropes

    A couple months ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation, 2022 vintage) direct from Apple, with AppleCare. I am extremely happy with my SE. It is very compact and fits in a pants pocket. It is fast, like a rocket! This is in contrast to my previous smartphone, the buggy, unreliable...

    iOS 16: always-on clock for iPhone SE (3)?

    Several weeks ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation / 2022 vintage). It currently uses iOS 15.5. I have a question: will this always-on clock feature of iOS 16 work on my SE, assuming I update its software? TIA

    iPhone SE (2022) New to iPhone - charging

    A couple months ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (2022 model) from Apple direct. I enjoy this compact and powerful cellphone, even though I am new to iPhone. (My previous smartphones over the last several years were Motorola Android phones.) Here's a question I have about charging. I...

    iPhone SE (2022) Issues with my new iPhone SE (2022)

    A few weeks ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE w/ 128 GB SSD and AppleCare direct from Apple. I also ditched Tracfone (which was swallowed up by Verizon) and migrated my iPhone and phone number to US Mobile. I am still settling in, having never owned an iPhone before. My sole past iOS...

    Just bought a new iPhone SE... then the trouble started...

    Hi folks! This is an unusual issue, so it doesn't really fit into any specific forum on the MacRumors site. This forum was the closest, so here goes... I just bought a brand-new unlocked iPhone SE (2022) from Apple's web-site. I was thrilled to receive it. In the past, I had bought a couple...

    iPhone SE (2022) Just bought an iPhone SE 3 (2022) - Migrating from Android

    My current smartphone, a Lenovo-Motorola Moto G6 Play, is a disaster. Horrible performance: sluggish, occasional screen freezes, and truly terrible battery life. I've regretted getting this phone since shortly after I got it. What an awful mistake I made. It runs Android 9 and I equipped it with...

    iPhone SE (2022) SE 3 First Impression Thread

    If you've received your SE 3, please post your first impressions here. Thanks. My first impression: It's a keeper. I have a specific use case for the phone, though--primarily as an exercise companion. One pleasant surprise: The white colored model is actually slightly gold on the sides, the...

    iPhone SE (2022) Considering the new iPhone SE (3) - March 2022

    I watched Apple's "Peek Performance" event on 8 March 2022 and saw the new iPhone SE, third generation, using the newer A15 Apple Silicon and 5G cellular. I currently own a very unimpressive Lenovo-Motorola G6 Play, which is bulky, buggy, and suffers from poor performance and even poorer battery...
