    My iPhone XS Max has lag, hot SoC and battery problem

    Hi guys, I've got this 256GB phone 3 weeks ago. I'm happy because I came from Mi8 (a good Android smartphone) and I was expected for great improvements and performance. Well, I was wrong. I've already got a XS Max for my mother in the past months, and her device is really good, the touch is...

    iPhone XS Max Haven’t Charged my Phone Since Friday at 11 PM. Is this Acceptable Battery Life?

    So, meant to type this earlier. Phone was taken off the charger, at 100%, on Friday night. As of earlier today, Sunday, at like 1 PM, it still had 6% left. I had purchased this phone earlier this week. Was stuck between the XR, because of the battery, and the XS Max, because of what that phone...

    iPhone XS Max Missing photos in backup

    Update: For those of us happy taking many photos and using iTunes to back them up, don't believe that they are safely stored there - just check that your backup matches the images on your phone and that all are viewable in your backup / restore. You may see the message 'file type not supported'...

    iPhone XR Question for XR owners

    How is watching movies on the XR in terms of screen brightness (and just generally) compared to the Max or a plus phone (any of them)? I did compare my 6s+ to an XR and Max in store playing various videos via youtube and found that the XR looked better than my 6S+. But I've read that the XR...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone ‘burn-in’ question

    So, I’m delighted with the super-sharp OLED screen on the iPhone XS Max. A few times a year though, I find myself presenting an 8-hour seminar from my phone using the PowerPoint app and a projector. The static slides layouts are all the same and are in the company template of bright and...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS Max freezes

    Sometimes my iPhone XS Max freezes when I try to unlock it by typing my passcode (because FaceID doesn't work good as well) or using some app it just won't respond for about 5 seconds. Does anybody else have this issue?

    Bose soundlink micro problems

    I just got a brand new iPhone XS max. I’ve used my Bose micro sound link with my galaxy S9 for seven months with no problems. It works with my XS max but I find that many times I have to press the button two or even three times to resume an audiobook or YouTube video. Sometimes I have to pull...

    iPhone XS Has anyone noticed a slight greenish hue on their XS max display?

    Or am I the unlucky one? I did a gray image test on my phone after noticing that the display has this weird greenish hue sometimes. Especially noticeable on dark grays. I know OLED has its quirks but just wanted to know if you guys think this is normal? For example, the dark keyboard when...

    Other Apple sends email inviting online Personal Session Xs - but...

    If you get an email from Apple the day after you purchase your Xs inviting you for an online personal session, the first thing you should ask the Apple Specialist is: are you going to be demonstrating on the new Xs? Just went through 20 minutes before mine admitted she did not have the new...

    iPhone X Schedule Reoccurring DND by Location

    The iPhone XS Max is my first iPhone and I am loving it. I am a switcher. I love being able to set DND until I leave a location by way of 3D touch. This is great for going to restaurants, movies, etc. I also use this feature for work. But instead of having to set it every morning I would...

    iPhone XS Max iPhone XS XS Max battery life

    Apple always claims better battery life for new phones. How's your battery life in the real world? XS Max that I have here has worse battery life than 8 Plus.

    iPhone X Off button delay

    I'm getting a delay when pressing the off button before the phone actually goes to sleep. Happens even with the Apple pay side button shortcut disabled. Is this now a "feature"?

    iPhone X Max creaking. Poor quality and surely not conformance to requirements.

    I am really disappointed with the quality control of the XS Max. Mine makes a very distinct creak when even slight side pressure is applied - which makes this over $2000 AUD device seem like a cheap phone. I understand that people on this forum may ask why I am concerned about this or question...
