    iPhone 6(S)/Plus Sound stuck in headphone mode?

    So today, me being me, I dropped my phone in a fairly large puddle today. And again, me being me, I thought nothing of it. So when I went to play music through my phone (without the headphones) it says that it is still stuck in headphone mode? Once I actually put the headphones in, the music...

    iOS 9 vs 12

    I've held out on iOS 9 on my 6 Plus for several reasons, but I've read the reports that iOS 12 does not slow down older phones. Has anyone tried the upgrade from 9 to 12 on an iPhone 6? If so, what were your results? Slower? Thanks.

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus GPS Not Functional - iPhone 6

    You probably groaned when you saw the iPhone 6 part of the title, but I'm not in a financial position to upgrade to a new iPhone yet unfortunately. I'm aware of the iPhone 6's age, but a problem arose around roughly February that has been absolutely ridiculous and has caused major problems for...

    iPhone GPS on iPhone 6S intermittent with 11.4.1

    I use several apps for tracking hikes. My iPhone 6s has been brilliant at this until upgrading to 11.4.1. Now the dreaded GPS problem that seems to plague iPhone 8 and later seems to have migrated to my iPhone 6s. I’ve reset network settings, validated location services settings, switched...

    My phone froze and wasn’t responding to anything so I reset it and it seems like everything got deleted.... I can’t tell because when I try to put in the WiFi password, it tells me it’s incorrect. Even though when I tried it on my iPad, it was correct. Also the data won’t work so I have no idea...

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone 6 battery left on over time

    Now I thought I’ve heard that putting your phone up for a long time (like 2 years) can insta kill the battery if left on. Is this true? I’m buying an iPhone 6 off someone and they said that they never turned it off and it’s put up for quite some time. How bad will the damage be?

    General iOS 12 VS Android P 9.0

    So iOS 12 just came out. Both iOS 12 and Android P are incremental updates with optimisations and performance improvements. iOS 12 is said to double the speed and performance across all Apple devices starting from iPhone 5S, that’s crazy as the 5S was launched back in 2013. It mainly optimises...
