    Is it possible to use a strange computer to update iPhone without syncing?

    I have always backed up and updated my iPhone using iTunes. With the recent security issues it seems like it's time to finally update to iOS 16 (I'm still using iOS 15 at the moment...). The problem is that the computer I usually sync with (which still uses iTunes) is not available to me right...

    Why no volume control on lock screen (iOS 16.3)?

    So, in iOS 14 and 15, there are two sliders on playing media on the lock screen (Volume and Scrubbing). In iOS 16, that went away, and I'm kind of upset. it was super convenient for when I don't have the time to unlock my phone using FaceID or use the volume buttons. Anyone know why it went away?

    Is iOS 15 no longer supported? (on iPhone SE 2)

    Yesterday I wondered into Software Update and it no longer displays Up to date and iOS 16 in the lower part. iOS 16.1.1 is now displayed in the main area and a notification appeared. Is there any confirmation from Apple that iOS 15 is no longer supported? I have iOS 15.7.1 installed.

    iPad mini Update iPad Mini 4 to 15.7.1?

    Hello guys! I am debating whether I should update my iPad Mini 4 to 15.7.1 or not. Please note I rock iOS 14.8.1 on it and it’s working just fine, good standby times, pretty decent performance given the A8 chip. The thing is that to my knowledge the iPhone 6 (that has the same A8 chip) didn’t...

    Loud constant whine instead of ring tone when making an outgoing call.

    Just had this happen to me. Made a phone call and instead of the regular ringing sound before it's picked up, I head a loud, high pitched whine. It stopped when I hung up, and the second time the audio was the expected ringing sound. I've never had this happen before, so I am a little concerned...

    What are wifiLQMmetric logs in analytics? Does anyone else have them?

    I first noticed wifiLQMmetric logs in my analytics after updating to iOS 15 back in december. Got one the day of the update, one about 10 days after, and then that was the last one until last night. They are binary files, so you can't open them, and I can't find any other information regarding...

    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...

    Updating ancient iPhone 6 Plus to iOS 15??

    There are lots of videos on Youtube showing people updating iPhone 6 Plus's from iOS 12.5.5 to iOS 15. Anyone on here done this? Did it brick your phone? If not, how does it work? Thanks!

    What prompts apps to ask for local network access?

    For example, Tinder just did it this morning, for no particular reason, having never done so before, and I can't think of a reason it would need it, or what could trigger it. I think Signal did once but that was specifcally for transferring messages I believe.

    If your iPhone is overheating on iOS 15.5 or 15.6 Beta. A daemon process called “duetexpertd” might be hogging your resources (in my case using 99% or more of my CPU constantly, and my phone overheated).

    A Few Annoyances.. Keyboard, Siri Annoyance, Phone Calls and Alarms

    I’m just venting to be honest but what annoys me: Phone Calls: Taking a phone call whilst on AirPods leaves my phone screen on. What a waste of battery. Even when I turn it off, one slight tap and it remains on until I manually turn it off again. Not great if notifications activate that if I’m...

I know it was left unencrypted for ios 10, however I couldn't find any information on whether they went back to encrypting them or not. Any...

    Am I the only to be annoyed by the safari animation ?

    To me, upgrading to iOS 15.4 was so horrible !!! I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro Max and one of the many bugs I am annoyed by is the safari animation. As you can see on the video, when I swipe all the up to show all my tabs there’s on more tab showing briefly and this is really making me so sick ...

    iPhone Shortcuts app: Listening for input

    I am trying to create a shortcut that's akin to a music sleep timer. I'd like to have a way to have it pause right before it's supposed to pause the audio and ask if the user would like to continue it. Ideally, there would be a beep or vibration to cue that the device is listening and if the...

    iPhone keeps asking me to sign in to an account I've signed out of when I reboot my phone

    I don't use my apple ID much, so I only sign into it when I need to update apps. I am signed out of it at all other times. However, every time I reboot my phone, as soon as it connects to wifi, it asks me to sign into my account, with the account email address displayed, which I find weird given...
