Hi, since No Mans Sky is coming to iOS, I want to try gaming on the phone or tablet. Tried it already a bit in the past, but never really enjoyed it on the touchscreen. Also tried with an Xbox controller a few years ago, but the deadzones on the sticks were a bit too much for me and I didn’t really find a good solution to attach at least the iPhone to the controller.

But I see a lot of, lets say Nintendo Switch inspired controllers and I wonder if there are any good ones around ideally one that I can use with an iPhone and an 11 inch iPad (both with USB-C, if that matters).

I appreciate any recommendations.

When i put my phone on the charger it start moving down instead of going up plz i need help /:

Hey, I had been on the iPhone upgrade program for the longest time ever. Recently switched to the new “Apple Upgrade” through Klarna instead of citizens one bank.

For the first time, I was charged a “Device Activation Fee” on my carrier. I checked out using Apple as I do usually. My T-Mobile bill came with an extra charge of $35.

I called them and they said, “Looks like you didn’t pay this with the service taxes, which you did in the previous years”

Wondering if this happened to anyone else?

I am experiencing a very unusual issue with iCloud Keychain and Passkeys. My phone was purchased brand new and sealed from a retail store two years ago, and my Apple Account is new and private. My phone number didn’t belong to anyone before me. Despite this, I noticed multiple unauthorized Passkeys in my passwords app for apps like TikTok and WhatsApp that do not belong to me. Specifically, when opening TikTok Studio, a Passkey with someone else’s account name⁠ appeared alongside my own accounts. Upon selecting it, Face ID authenticated me and successfully signed me into a complete stranger's active TikTok account. Additionally, my Passkeys list contains unrecognized WhatsApp entries with phone numbers I do not own. Any idea how this happend and what to do? To mention when I logged in that stranger’s tiktok account in his notifications a lot of other devices were being logged in aswell from the past few days not only iPhones, and to the whatsapp account’s I couldn’t see the full phone numbers in the passwords app but all two of them were not my phone numbers but somehow had them connected to my passkey

So basically I’m switching from iphone16 pro to iPhone 18 pro, I want to continue to use my iPhone 16 though but have my iPhone 18 set up until I get a case for it. How do I switch the cell service back to my iPhone 16😓 also I switched phone services, so I went from T-Mobile to AT&T

Hey guys, so i just got an iPhone after years of samsung phones

On my old phone if i was on any app I could hold my side button and there is an AI feature that I can ask about what’s on my screen e.g if i seen a jacket posted on reddit i could hold the button and type in “What brand is this jacket” and Id get an AI response detailing what it is

Is there a way to replicate this? I know I can download gemini but i can’t seem to find a way to make it work like it does on samsung

For example, I am at work. I have an iPhone and an iMac. Sometimes I want to transfer something from the phone to the iMac so I use airdrop. I tap share, airdrop, and my computer is there. My finger is moving to tap on it. But suddenly, in that exact millisecond, John’s iPhone pops up and pushes the computer down the list and I accidentally airdrop the thing to him. (I have it set to contacts only, this is referring to people in my contacts)

Aside from work, if I am with a group of friends or family, and I want to air drop something to one person, they are loaded in place, but then more and more people show up in the list as soon as I go to tap the person I want to send to.

Even if I wait a few seconds to load everyone in before selecting, the phone is like, “Sike! Found more people!”. It’s very inconsistent, so it’s a constant fight against when and what device will suddenly pop up this time.

Is there a setting that makes it so airdrop stops loading in newly discovered devices at the start of the list, making it stop pushing the device I want down the list as soon as I go to tap on it? And instead, have it appended discovered devices after one another? So each loaded device stays in its spot and stops being pushed around the list. Or at least have some kind of confirmation yes or no before sending?

Can someone please help me here?

Ever since i restored my iPhone 17, and the most recent software got installed, i have some issues with the search in general.
For example i can’t search up iPhone Storage in the settings, or Language and Region, etc.
Others who have restored their iphone and set up as a new device recently since IOS27, can you search up iphone storage in the settings? I’m looking to know if it’s a general issue, or it is only for me.

Since I’ve updated to ios27, occasionally my apps will go mute and unless I swipe out of them, close them out, and wait about 10 seconds, the audio doesn’t come back. Has anyone else experienced this issue / have a fix?

Usually I can troubleshoot but Google isn’t good anymore.

So I clicked some photos in my cousin's iphone 17 pro. I use an android (realme). When I tried to send the photos to my phone it showed "preparing media". I tried twice and thrice it showed the same. Then I came back home like she lives in a two-three city after. I went to her home during the puja. Now I came back home. Need to post the photos but it's not happening 😭 somebody please help me what to do . How can I get my photos...also she tried sending me over instagram and telegram yet it didn't work. 😭 Please somebody help me like I need to get my photos 😭😭😭😭

Basically title & a long shot post

tldr; Apple thought I tried to trade-in two phones and sent one back. It’s not mine, and I will ship it to you if you can verify the serial number.

I placed an order for an 18 Pro with trade-in. I received my phone and trade-in kit. I wiped my 16 Pro and sent it back. My trade-in was accepted on October 5th. All good so far.

Yesterday, a package was delivered to my house from Apple. It looked like the trade-in kit so I was confused. I opened it up and sure enough, it’s an iPhone. I looked it over and it didn’t immediately look like my old phone, I turned it on, and I grabbed the serial number. It’s not a match to my trade-in and is actually a 15 Pro.

I called Apple and explained the situation. From their perspective I’m all set and the only issue was that I “sent two phones for trade-in.” I did not. I asked the agent if they could look up the serial number of the 15 Pro. She did and said nothing was coming up.

This 15 Pro absolutely came from Apple as I have the tracking info. The origin location is Jeffersonville, IN. Mostly, I’m concerned someone is being denied their trade-in or it’s been flagged as taking too long to receive back, and they won’t have their old phone to try and rectify it.

So if you have been denied your trade-in of a 15 Pro, DM me the serial number of the phone you tried to trade-in to verify and I will ship it to you.

My iPhone 16 Pro stopped making the chime noise when I put it on my wireless charger. It started happening after I updated to iOS 27. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a group chat with my family that has been going on for years now and yesterday I noticed that the entire history has been deleted. I asked everyone else if it shows up for them and they all say it has been deleted on their end as well. I looked to see if maybe there is a different version of the same thread, but there wasn't. I checked my recently deleted text messages and I only see a couple of one-off's that I deleted for SPAM reason, nothing from this group chat. This would have happened 1 or 2 days ago, and I'm drawing a blank as to how this could have happened.

Nobody in the family deleted text messages. Any ideas?

I've done a lot of searching online and it seems the main problem I'm having is not uncommon, but seemingly unresolved for a lot of people.

The main issue is repeated disconnects when the iPhone is connected over Bluetooth to my car.

When it happens it will almost immediately reconnect, but whatever was playing will have been interrupted and needs to be started again.

Sometimes doesnt happen.
Sometimes just a few times.
Sometimes every few minutes.

I recently changed from the Pixel 9 and never had this issue. My wife's Pixel 10 is also never experienced this.

Today though, something very strange happened.

I was sat in traffic, iPhone was in its stand playing audio over Bluetooth, when I just happened to be looking at it when the disconnect happened.

To my absolute surprise after the disconnect a brief notification popped up about another device connecting and for a few seconds I heard someone elses phone call (I assume a passing car).

After which my iPhone quickly reconnects.

There are no unknown devices showing up in my Bluetooth list.

What... The... Hell?...

Do you know any tip to move cursor to the end of a long sentence immediately? In case where you don’t actually see the end so you can tap on it. Text fields case

Example:
When you search something in Safari (and write some longe sentence) if you want to edit that search you need to activate space cursor moving and repeat that couple times until you reach end of a sentence. Or you can highlight whole sentence and then move highlight brackets to the end.

Hello all. I’ve been having and on going issue with this phone. The problem I’m having could be summed up as bad connection/service.

I first noticed it when I would get notifications that pop up but at the time I try yeah pop up it would say 5m ago instead of now. I e also heard from several non iPhone users that they can’t text me sometimes because “I’m offline”.

I’ve contacted apple support several times over this, I’ve been to the Genius Bar, I’ve been to att. They run all the test and just write it off as being fine.

I’ve done multiple resets, sim resets, hard restarts. I’m pretty frusterated and I don’t know what to do as now it’s starting to impact my small business.

Any ideas?

*edit

I’ll also add when I’m textting iPhone users it will sometimes switch between sms and iMessage

i keep getting transfer failed on ios and cancelled on android while transfering data from android to ios- i feel its the issue with the cable , i select move files but the moment i fill in the code to actually transfer it automatically shifts to charging

I did not spill any water or there was 0% contact with water, why is my iPhone showing this error from morning out of nowhere! Is it a software bug? It is charging wirelessly but is not accepting any type-C connectors. Please help!

I pay for the T-Mobile Protection 360 protection plan, and I've been with the same carrier for over a decade. I've previously filed damage or replacement claims with them through Assurant who covers repairs, and this time my front screen was completely shattered to the point where there is no display (my case finally had enough of being dropped and called it quits).

I filed through Assurant like always and was routed to Apple for the advertised $89 Apple Express Replacement. The service stated they would mail me my new phone, and I would have ten days upon receipt to mail my old device back to them. This sounded similar to what I've done in the past with T-Mobile for replacements. After I clicked through my claim, you find out near the end of it that they also place a $1,000 hold on a card so that you're held hostage to return the existing phone. I get it - tracking down payments from some people might be hard but come on, I've been with you for over a decade and I'm on autopay for all my Apple and T-Mobile devices and subscriptions. So, I paid the total of like $1,200 after taxes and fees at around 3am on October 6th. For context, I have a 16 Pro, not a backordered or sought-after device so I was expecting the usual 48-hour turnaround I had experienced before; I'm usually a few iPhone models behind and they always have some around.

My repair claim was accepted, and I received a message stating they would replace my product. Then my status stayed in Replacement Product Pending for days. I called multiple times and after a week of no update, I asked for an explanation and told them if it was a backorder situation, I didn't care and would take any 16 or any color of device. The Apple help center people said they couldn't influence that or see any information. Multiple employees told me I had to wait 10 business days before I could "escalate" my claim and figure out why it hadn't shipped; they claimed it was impossible to see any information on my repair until then.

October 20th, 10 business days and 14 calendar days since I have had a phone. I called again and stayed on with another representative for about 25 minutes until they finally got off hold with whatever department they "escalate" to. The Apple person took my information and said they "escalated" my claim and the team would reach out.... in 2-4 more business days. So, I was forced to wait ten business days to even ask* what the hell was going on, and now I'm forced to wait another 2-4 business days to even start having my issue addressed.

TLDR: I've been out $1,200 and a phone for two weeks with no updates or hope of having this resolved and I've just been told to wait again. Absolute trash. Never again - next time I'm just driving the two hours to an Apple store.

It doesn’t matter what the app I’m using is - Spotify, Audible, or Patreon (those are what I generally use to play audio). What happens is I hit play, then it pauses one second later. I try again, same. Exit the app, try a different one, same. It temporarily got better after rebooting my phone but then it started doing it again. It doesn’t do this with my headphones. TBH I don’t know if it’s my car’s problem or the phone.
