    How do I block unwanted phone calls?

    About a year ago, I bought my first-ever iPhone. It sees light use as a voice-phone and texting device. Lately, I've seen a noticeable up-tick in unwanted phone calls and text messages. This one phone number from a distant area code, that I had never seen before recently, called me at least...

    Cellular Connection Issues - U.S. Mobile

    This past Spring (2022), I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation) direct from Apple. My previous cellular service provider (CSP) was pre-paid, minutes-based Tracfone.

    Is my iPhone dead?

    Just this past spring, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation) direct from Apple with AppleCare. Just before bed, I decided to plug-in my iPhone for recharging overnight. When I plugged it in, nothing happened. It didn’t respond. I tried to wake it. I could not get it to do anything...

    Apple Contacts and multiple online databases

    A few months ago, I switched from Android to iPhone. I am still getting used to doing things the iPhone way. One nagging minor problem eludes solution for me: Apple's Contacts. I am accustomed to using Google Contacts. One great thing I like about making new contacts in Google's Contacts...

    My iPhone won't ring

    I bought my iPhone SE (2022), having never had an iPhone before. For some strange reason, incoming calls trigger only a vibration. The phone does not ring. How do I set this up so the phone actually rings during an incoming call?

    Uploading photos - lack of options

    I apologize in advance if my questions seem ignorant, but I am totally new to iPhone and to IOS 15. I purchased my first iPhone (an SE 2022; iOS 15.7, Model MMX83LL/A) a few months ago and I'm having difficulty learning how to operate it. It seems like everyone assumes that everyone already has...

    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...

    Several weeks ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation / 2022 vintage). It currently uses iOS 15.5. I have a question: will this always-on clock feature of iOS 16 work on my SE, assuming I update its software? TIA

    Noob Question ....

    I'm really excited by the new SE, and although I've been an iPad user for over a decade, this will be my first iPhone. As such, I don't have a phone-based carrier account, so I can't order the "PREPARE FOR CARRIER ACTIVATION NOW" option. I'm gonna use a different carrier for the "SE" [Verizon]...

    iPhone SE (2016) To iPhone SE users. Was 12.4.1 better in terms of battery compared to 13? If so. How many minutes /hours extra did you get?

    See title. I came from iOS 10.3.3 and 13 drains my battery really fast. So I might downgrade to 12.4.1. Also, another question. How does one reset the screen-on time and screen-off time numbers? Do I have to charge it to 100% for the numbers to become 0?

    Why is the very same iMac being shown twice and how do I delete/remove the "extra" one? It won't let me get rid of it. My iPhone's running the latest version of iOS 11.
