    iPhone 11 My iPhone 11 has 4 deep scratches on the screen. I don’t know why.

    Hi All, I’ve had my iPhone 11 since I bought it new when it first came out in 2019. Only in the last 10 months, the screen has developed 4 large, deep ugly scratches – see photo. I can easily feel them with my finger nails. This has never happened before with any previous iPhone (other than the...

    Staingate Removal Procedure

    I just thought I would post here that I had success removing the anti-glare coating off of a mid 2014 mbp with horrendous staingate The way I did it was with Flash All Purpose Cleaner floor cleaner. This stuff works wonders and is very unlikely to scratch or damage the screen as it is purely...

    Just noticed that a rubber trim is starting to come off from around the screen of my 2018 MBP screen. Is this serious?

    Mac Plus screen distortion

    A client of mine brought me a Macintosh Plus with complaints of screen distortion. Device boots fine but the screen flickers all over the place like crazy. I've popped it open and played with the pots to adjust the screen position and voltage but so far no significant improvement unless I lower...

    Weird speckles on new MacBook Pro 14 2021

    Hello, I finally received my first ever MacBook a day ago after three months of waiting. Unfortunately today I noticed a couple of these speckles on my screen, they look like airbubbles from a screen protector, but obviously I don't have anything on the screen. Has anyone ever experienced. Would...

    iPad Pro Apple Pencil Magnetic Charger Bent

    I was charging my Apple Pencil 2 with my Ipad Pro (11 inches 2018) and the magnetic charger just bent by itself cracking the screen. Since my Apple Care+ expired two weeks ago and the support center said there was nothing they could do. They didn't give me an explanation about what could have...

    Broken screen and glitching

    I've had my Macbook Air since 2020 after my last computer broke. It was great in the beginning, worked super fast and had no real issues with it. Now a year and a bit down the line it's starting to act up. Tad slower, overheating, etc. I've always made sure to use it on flat surfaces, so...

Since...

    Shooting on the 13 ProMax through screens - How

    Have run into this a couple of times and have yet to find an easy method. Scene: Looking out my bedroom window and saw a Red Tailed Hawk sitting in the roof of the pool cabana. Whipped up my trusty 13PM, opened Camera, proceeded to take a few quick snaps. Found that AF focusses on the window...

    Is it okay or dangerous to use a screen guard film on a MBP 2021 14"?

    Hi! I recently got this device. As always, I protect my devices very well. Before this computer, I have been using an Early 2015 MBP 13", and I had a screen protector/guard on its display. It served me very well for more than 5 years, and I had never a ghosting/staingate issue thanks to the...

    iPhone 13 Pro Ceramic Shield is the real deal

    I’ve been consistently dubious about apples claims to better screen durability with every successive iteration, and I’ve been correct in assuming it was mostly hype. Every iPhone I ever owned (up to ip11pro) scratched within days of owning it, no matter how I cared for it. I always use cases...

    Podcasts app shows HUGE background activity! Any way to stop it from working in the background?

    So, when I go to Settings and check Battery, I frequently find certain apps, especially Podcasts and Books, showing lots of time in background activity! Yet, I have Background Refresh turned off — both in general and for the apps. For example, just now when I checked, it showed 13 minutes of...

    Swap 2013 iMac screen with 2015 iMac screen - and internal SSD speed difference.

    Hi there, I’ve got a lot out of support from the Mac Rumor forums in the past but this topic was one I wasn’t able to get a clear answer on. So I thought I might share in case it helps anyone else. I picked up a late 2015 iMac (1080p non-retina i5-5575R @ 2.80GHz) cheap as the display glass...

    iPhone 12 Pro Max has foggy Home Screen. Anyone else?

    Hey everyone. I’ve been dealing with this for a little while now. Any time I’m in the Home Screen, there’s a white foggy effect on my screen. When I raise my phone, it’ll shift to total black (because of my background image) and then a second later it’ll light up with that weird fogginess...

    Question about my new Series 7 screen

    Hi, so I upgraded from a series 5 to a series 7. I don’t use the always on screen because I don’t need it and it saves on battery. Since setting it up, i’ve noticed that when I raise my wrist to look at the watch, it lights up very dimly for about half a second and then goes to full brightness...

    Upgrading non-retina iMac with a Retina display?

    My 21.5" 2013 iMac has a decidedly non-Retina (1080p) display. It works great on unsupported Big Sur, but clearly Apple is no longer optimizing visual elements (like Control Center) for non-Retina displays. By using a 21.5" 2015 or even 2017 panel, I am thinking it may be possible to upgrade the...

    Thick Singular Line on Screen

    I’ve attached a picture of the problem, there was a spill and I opened it up and cleaned it up. The colour of the line is washed out but when playing a game (heating it up) it changes until it goes away and then reappears darker. This process of changing happens slowly over 10-15 minutes. What...

    iPhone 11 Pro Screen scratches for no reason

    I bought iPhone 11 Pro some 6 months ago. I kept it away from hard surfaces. Never stuck it in my pocket with keys. Only inside a pocket on its own. I came from iPhone 6s. And I feel like the screen of 11 Pro scratches way too easily. I already have a scratch that I cannot buff out and I can...
