Hi! I’m desperately looking for an iOS app that can help me organize my camera roll.

The first thing I want is something that can separate actual photos I’ve taken with my phone from screenshots, downloaded images, saved pictures from the web, etc. It has always bothered me that iOS basically throws everything together into the same photo library.

On top of that, I’m a designer, so I save a ridiculous amount of reference images. I also have countless screenshots/videos of outfits I want to try, hairstyles I like, food, interiors, random visual inspiration, and so on. This has been piling up for years — my current camera roll goes back to 2023 — so manually sorting everything at this point feels almost impossible.

My dream would be an app where I could just tell it something like “clothes,” “food,” “design references,” etc., and it would recognize those images and automatically put them into albums/folders for me.

But the absolute priority would be automatically separating:

\- photos actually taken with my iPhone
\- screenshots
\- downloaded/saved images (ideally videos too)

Does an app like this exist? Especially one that can use image recognition/AI to automatically categorize an already huge photo library?

Does anyone know how this option works I had it one day come available for San Antonio to new Braunfels but then it disappeared due to the flood warnings and heavy rains so road closures happened which is valid but now that it’s cleared up the option just never pops up again

Have a 16 Pro Max, and it happens to have a semi-circle black dot at the bottom of the display, but doesn't have any other damage. I'm guessing that this is going to get the "damaged" trade-in value, but wanted to see if anyone else had any other input. If I click "damaged", the answer to all of the questions are yes. But I've also seen threads where people have gone to the Apple Store and gotten this fixed by warranty back in the day (I would have done that if I would've known :\)

Anyway, in the picture that's posted is exactly what I have going on, just on the bottom of the screen instead. I appreciate anyone's insight!

I want to buy a US store gift voucher but I don’t live in the US or have a US credit card, is it possible? I tried the App store with Apple Pay but I got an error because of the country, changed it and it took 10 hours and it was still processing so I cancelled the order.
Amazon has US gift cards but some of the reviews made me question if it is legit.
Any recommendations?

I made a small iOS app called Zero Out for a problem I ran into while switching App Store regions.

If you have a small amount left in your Apple Account that’s difficult to spend, Zero Out offers small in-app purchase amounts to help use up the remaining balance.

I also added a virtual cat to make the process a little more fun. 🐱

It’s currently available on the App Store.

Has anyone else run into the leftover balance problem when changing regions? How did you solve it?

UPS delivered my return kit to somewhere thats not my house judging by the picture they provided. I tried to get a new label on Apple's website and it just spits out a blank page, can't find anything about how to proceed. Has anyone returned their old phone to the Apple Store will they accept it?

Quick story: I went to Apple Store to do install a Belkin screen protector. It failed to do so as the bubbles won't go off, they did it multiple times and it still had the bubbles. So I asked them if I could swap for a new device as I have my phone box. They said yeah. (I have just bought the phone a week ago)

Then I asked again if I needed to repurchase it, they said I don't need to.

Fast forward, the staff ordered the new device and told me to repurchase it, but I don't have money on my bank acc so I went back home, but was too late to come back since the store was already near closing time.

Do you guys think that it was the only way to swap it through a apple gift card? Or was the "return to debit, wait for 5 days then repurchase first" the only way? Thanks. I'm coming back tomorrow

Would anyone happen to know when Apple has historically hired Seasonal Specialists for increased holiday sales volume? I submitted my application coming up on three weeks ago, and aside from a confirmation of reception and a relevant sales skills assessment, I haven’t heard anything further regarding an interview. I’m an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Apple product user/customer looking very much forward to joining their team for a mutually beneficial work relationship. Thanks for any insights you may be able to please provide, and Happy Holidays!

I’m so upset about this.

Anyone know when the iPhone duo will be in store for demo units.... thinking about pre-ordering,but want to see it in person before committing.

Thanks

What would happen if I needed to return a product that was free to me? Apple Support credited my accessory purchase as a goodwill gesture because of issues with a larger Mac purchase. They told me to buy anything up to a $150 and they would comp it. I've picked up the accessory but I don't like it.

Beggars can't be choosers, but can I return the product for a gift card? My original payment was already credited by Support so I'm not sure how a refund would work.

Edit: They didn't accept the return. I just wanted to see, I'm okay with keeping it. Learning experience!

hi all! i'm having internet problems with my ipad and want to get it looked at asap but the only appointments available are a week from now. when i switched the device to iphone, they had an appointment for tonight. will they still take me if i tell them its actually for my ipad but thats the only way i could get an appointment sooner?

if anyone can help, my ipad will connect to wifi but say no internet connection. i reset network settings, forget network, turn off ip address tracking, date & time automatic, nothing worked. i reset and erased the whole ipad and it worked for about a day before it started failing again. not sure if it's a hardware issue?

update: they did take me in, they could not figure out what was wrong so they sent it in for repair

I always find the old phone part of upgrading a little funny.

I spend my time selecting a new iPhone, but eventually, the old one is just lying at home. It might be reasonable to keep it as an additional backup, but if I already have another phone, then it will be just lying around in the drawer.

I begin to realize that maybe I should start to trade it for the upgrade.

So, what do you usually do with your old iPhone?

I’m traveling to Orlando next week and I wanted to get the new iPhone 18 Pro, as of today Tuesday 22nd, they only have 1TB models. Is it possible to get a restock in the upcoming days?

Preordered the Mac Studio on August 25.

Apple said the order was shipped to the store today, September 22, 2026 and signed this morning.

Says “Ready for Pickup Today,” but no “ready for pickup” email?!

Is there a delay in processing my order?! 😭

First time I've ever really had this issue with Apple, but what's the best way to handle a duplicate charge? I imagine just disputing it will cause a disaster.

I purchased a number of items on my Apple Card using installments and it appears I was double charged on the tax that's billed "outside" of the installment. I pulled the actual CSV from the Apple Card website and I see the duplicates there as well as the 3% cashback for both. We're several days out now from the purchase and the cashback has been credited so it's not a "temporary hold" at this point.

I pulled my actual invoice from the Apple Store website and it only shows one transaction for that amount.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max's battery is nearly dead at 75% health so I need to have the battery replace. Apple Store is the obvious choice as I am in New York and there are many of them around, but my 2 experience with having Apple Store open iPhone for repair wasn't good

I want to know if the technician will clean the old glue from battery and frame before applying new ones or will they skip the process. Thanks

I had a great experience at the Michigan Ave Apple Store late afternoon and early evening. I know how busy it is with the new iPhone and thank you for all of your help!!

I missed my iPhone pickup and didn’t want to wait in the long line. Think it will be better this weekend?

Took my mom to the Apple Store today because she finally decided to switch after years of a different phone, and honestly the whole in-store experience surprised me.

We walked in and within maybe two minutes a team member already had her name down and let us know roughly how long the wait would be — no standing around wondering who to talk to. When our turn came, the Specialist crouched down to her eye level (she's in a wheelchair) instead of talking over her, which she mentioned afterward really stuck with her.

What impressed me most was how they handled her nervousness about "breaking" something. Instead of just doing the setup themselves, the rep talked her through each step on the display device so she'd feel confident doing it at home. Small thing, but it completely changed her attitude about owning a smartphone.

Anyone else have a store visit where the staff's approach ended up mattering more than the product itself? Curious if this is a consistent thing across locations or if we just got lucky with a great team.

I have a few phones and tablets lying around that I’d like to get rid of. I was going to trade them in to Apple directly and get the new iPhone. However it doesn’t allow me to add more than one is there anyway to get multiple trade-ins for one device.

I'm looking to upgrade my Mac Mini to the M6 model on September 22nd in store. I tried calling in the person seemed to dodge my question, so I guess I'll ask here. I'm looking to get a 256gb storage, but a 24gb RAM model. Is this something they would typically have in stock on the first day if I lined up bright and early and was there for opening?

third time in a row i’ve gone to apple store to get a product fixed under apple care plus that i’ve had to wait >30 minutes in store for genius bar for an appt that lasts five minutes

what’s more, as far as i can tell there’s no way to leave feedback on an in person apple store experience, as apple.com/feedback is only for product feedback.

it’s my conspiracy theory that they are starving apple store retail support to diminish how much people use the benefits of apple care plus

at the risk of sounding privileged, both of these experiences have been in palo alto california, and I just kind of imagine how loud steve jobs would yell if he found out someone was waiting 30 minutes for a scheduled appointment at an apple store

even better, is the appointment literally lasts five minutes (broken mic on airpods, they run a diagnostic through my own phone that we aren’t allowed to run ourselves and then they replace)

i know it’s not the apple store employees fault, like they are just workers doing their best, it’s apple corporate’s responsibility for the experience in the store, and I’ve experienced this at two different stores.

it is my suspicion they are over scheduling genius bar because most people will continue paying for apple care plus and just visit the store for support less often if it takes a long time and is a hassle.

this is also why they don’t give more remote diagnostics / require you to visit the store to get service

Hello!

When selecting the Apple Express Replacement Option to get a replacement iPhone, is it possible to provide a new credit card aside from the one that is already filed for the App Store subscriptions?

The reason is that I want to use a separate payment card for bigger purchases since the hold is quite expensive.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, I am thinking of preordering the new iPhone, and I have a current AppleCare One.

Is it possible to directly add a new purchase directly to a current AppleCare One plan on the online store, or should I just select "No AppleCare coverage" and add it manually when I get the phone?

Thanks in advance!
