    iPad Air Can’t have crap in the desert, I guess.

    Brand new iPad Air 2022, not even a month old and already have microscopic hairline scratches about as wide/deep as the thin hairs on my arm. Worst part is, they occurred whilst cleaning my screen to install a screen protector using the wipes that they gave me. I’m upset. I have heard that it’s...

    MacBook Pro 2016 15 Inch Fan Noise

    Is there anyway I can open the macbook and clean the fans myself or should I get it serviced? I noticed that even when idling that it makes more noise as opposed to when it had a year for example. I suspect it may be due to dust. Thank you in advance.

    Dust stuck on 2018 13" MBP screen - Weird

    Hi everyone, I bought my 2018 13" MBP in October 2018 and recently (actually, for a couple of months but it was almost invisible before) I've noticed an horizontal line of dust on my screen. It seems to be caused by some keys applying pressure on it (especially the space bar). I have to admit...

    XS Max Rear Camera Lens - Speck/Dust appearing in pics

    Just noticed this today when I took some quick photos of an Osprey plane flying over - 2, 3 specs in every shot, same spot with the overcast sky. Anyone else have (or had) this issue? Main question, does Apple Care take care of this? Thanks! ** It's minimal, I realize that...but it...

    Dust

    Let’s say that after 6 months I want to clean my MBP(2019) from dust. Will I void any warranty when I open up de back to clean it? I read this was okay with older Macbooks, but I’m not sure with the new ones. It would suck if it voids warranty.

    iPhone X IPhone X camera dust

    I've notice a small speck of dust spear on my bottem camera. It wasn’t there to begin with so I’m slightly worried there’s something wrong with the seal around my camera. Is this normal on the X?

    Other Why dust inside your camera housing doesn’t matter

    A few days after picking up my sg256 iPhone X I too noticed a few really tiny specks of dust under the outer camera glass. At first I was starting to worry thinking I’d have to go through a bunch of exchanges to get it replaced and find one without that issue, (did this with dead pixels on an...
