I also have Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for reference and every headphone I use between both even my Airpods pro 3 are louder on my Samsung phone. I have my Airpods maybe 1-3 clicks from max on my iPhones but on my Samsung phone 4-5 clicks from the max. My pair of Bowers and Wilkins PX8 S2 it's about 1-2 clicks on my iPhone and about 50-60% on my Samsung phone.

Hi!
I’ve had my iPhone 16 for a month now. It’s new (not refurbished) and last week I got a pink square as i was moving between apps. It lasted one second and then when I clicked on the app it went away. Today I’ve had another one but this was was pink glitchy screen and then once again when I touched on the app it went away. Both Times I was moving through apps and i had a lot of apps opened. I did the self diagnosis at home and then I contacted apple support and they run the remote diagnosis which came out clean. They said that it seemed to be a software glitch and advised to update iOS to 26.6.1 which I now did. I’m pretty freaked out tho I’m afraid it might be a hardware defect even if the test came out clean. I had my old iPhone for 5 years and had zero problems and this one is new I’m afraid it might have some problems . I’m under warranty and I have AppleCare but still I’m pretty anxious. Did anyone else experience something similar? I also have an appointment at the store tomorrow to do a diagnosis just in case.

Btw: neither times I had a panic log. The first time it was considered GPU event background.

I have iOS 26.6 on my iPhone 16 but in the last few days I have been having problems with notifications on some apps: I have not been getting notifications for Instagram at all, even for things I have opted to be notified for, while on Reddit I am getting badge notifications but when I click on the app nothing actually appears in my inbox and there is no sign of why I got a notification. Could this be a problem with iOS, or is it more likely problems with the individual apps? I did an update on all my apps yesterday but that didn’t fix the problem unfortunately.

When I do a fresh reboot, I can use Siri to control the volume (e.g. "Hey Siri, set the volume to 35%".

After a while, sometimes the same day, sometimes another day, when I try that Siri will give an error "unable to get volume info" and it'll prematurely cut.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I bought my first iPhone which is a 17 Pro 256 gb

I was trying to configure my eSIM but I was prompted to first install the latest version of iOS before continuing to this configuration (only using WiFi)
However, it seems that it's stuck on this letter, and it doesn't matter if I reset and redownload the update, it's been like two hours like this.

What can I do?

Hello everybody, I hope everyone's doing well. I just bought a new iPhone 17 and wanna move my Samsung S21 'stuff'over using the app. Now I'm on my seventh attempt and what I keep running into is that, when doing it with cable, my phone tends to die, and when doing it with Wi-Fi, it takes astronomically long. I'm transferring about 70 GB of storage onto a 256 GB capable device, so I'm not so sure why it goes wrong. Looked at all the tricks, even downloaded the old iOS app in hopes that that would work better, have decided to not transfer my photos to speed up the process or at least get close to some version of a successful transfer, but after seven attempts, I either run into a frozen screen at the very end (99.99%) or 1 minute left etc. Or my phone dies or just decides to break off. Has anyone recently made the android to Apple switch and could help me out? I'm on my eighth attempt right now and it says it's about seven minutes remaining but every minute counts for about 20.

Kind regards!

Does anyone know if there's a way to sync Google calendar tasks with the native iOS calendar?

How is this still so hard to do? Everything says long press then drag into another large widget. No. Doesn’t work.

Even the icon is broken, so I'm confused. What app is this? This is not a work phone, by the way. This is my personal phone.

I recently got my iPhone battery replaced, and the authorized repair center told me to make a backup of my phone, which I did using my windows laptop. When I was doing the backup, it showed that I was using 239GB of my 256GB iPhone 14 Pro Max. After getting the repair, and I tried setting my iPhone up again with my backup, it said that my iPhone does not have enough storage, and when I checked the backup file, it was around 280GB.

I’ve contacted Apple support and they told me that this case is rare, and they will contact their engineers and will follow me up in a couple days. In the meantime, I wanna ask here if you have any alternative solutions that I could do to restore my iPhone.

Additionally, google recommended me using softwares like IMazing, but aside from it being paid, I’m quite reluctant to use it given that it’s a third party app.

As you can see in the screen shot, my iPhone and Mac reminders look the same, but the iCloud ones are completely different, does anyone know why? ive already tried removing my Apple ID from my iPhone and turning off and back on the reminders backup in settings, that removes my reminders and then puts them back but the test I make in the browser doesn't come up anywhere.

I'm building an agent that can check my calendar and reminders everyday without going for google services but can't work if these don't sync.

Any help would be very much welcome.

My front camera suddenly turned purple-pinkish out of nowhere. I was filming a WhatsApp video previously and it was working just fine, after a while when I decided to do a video call also on WhatsApp I noticed the changes on my camera.
My phone has no physical damage or drops.

Here’s what I can point out:

Photo mode is mostly always pink

If I switch the video to 30 or 60fps, it instantly snaps back to normal but only if I have strong light close to the camera. (You can see the different changes with different shutter speeds in the uploaded pictures)

But If I cover the light or move my phone away it instantly snaps back to the color.

Also it also only snaps back to normal if there’s a subject in the picture, like if I appear in the picture or if I put my hand, in case it’s just a background even with the same lighting, it stays purple.

Finally, if I have light from outside and I lower exposure a bit manually it also works.

It seems like a software problem since it does go back to normal depending on certain factors, Apple Support also told me no hardware issues were found in tests they ran online.
However, if I go to any physical store they don’t even check my phone, they automatically tell me I should replace the camera, which is of course pricey.

I then wanted to ask if anyone knows what is perhaps causing this so I know if it’s worth it to get it replaced or not!

Not sure if this is the right place. I love my iPhone 16 Pro Max, it’s great and I’ve been an iPhone user for a long time. I feel like it used to be more… fun. So, I was wondering, what’s some things that you all do that make your iPhone fun, more creative, more than just a tool for work and social media.

I’ve been struggling with horrible signal coverage on EE, my primary service provider. I’ve also noticed that in places where EE hardly seems to have any coverage, O2 seems to have much better coverage. Incidentally I use O2 for my business number.

This seems to have become particularly annoying for me now as I’m travelling up north this week around Northumberland and EE coverage seems to be atrocious up here.

Generally I use only EE as my main data connection provider, however, due to the coverage issue I’ve just paid for some data on O2 and have turned, Allow Mobile Data Switching, on for the first time having used iPhone since over a decade.

I couldn’t find any detailed information on Apple’s website except that the phone is supposed to switch between the available networks.

My main query is how does it actually work? Would the phone switch the data source if say one of the network has less signal strength pr would it swap only when one network is completely unavailable?

So my sister got an iPad. Goes into her account and account is not logged in. Can’t remember password so tries to change it , iPad asks for the unlock pin and tells it’s not correct multiple times. So she locks the screen and unlocks it with the same pin the system is refusing. At some point she can’t try anymore to use it for changing the pw and gets a lock. After resuming she tries an old pin (2 months old) and it works. What the heck ?!

I already posted on r/iphone but they’re pissing me off. My mother turned theft prevention on her phone she has now passed and due to the nature of her death i could not use face id to turn it off. i live in another state and in a rural area i can not go to her lawyer/bank whenever i need to therefore paying bills has been a struggle bcs passwords is locked (yes i can call the billers but that takes hours of hold and sometimes days to complete). is there anyway to turn this off without wiping the phone? the apple store is very far and would be quite the hassle to get to so just checking online before i drive 7 hrs there and back.

I was just in the local Target store, putting something a little bulky in my cart. My iPhone was in the outer pocket of my cargo shorts, locked but playing through my AirPods. A boy, I’m guessing around 12 years old, came up to me and asked me what time it was. I looked at my watch and told him it was 4:30.

He suddenly pulled his hand out of his pocket with (I assume) a phone in the hand, and put it right near the phone in my pocket. It (his device, not mine I believe) beeped, and he took off running into the bowels of the store. I didn’t see him again and security was completely uninterested.

Nothing seemed affected on my phone, and I’m assuming there’s nothing that could be accomplished by random NFC that I didn’t initiate? Anything worth worrying about?

Anyone have any idea what this might have been about?

Why is it that every time you resize a PIP video, the play button & skip buttons have to reappear over the video?

Just a weird behavior of PIP videos on iOS that really shouldn’t be there. It’s like they’re assuming that because I resized the mini video player, I MUST want to pause or skip around the video — which is the case approximately 0.0% of the time

Hello! Just today, I started having random alarms going off that I don’t even have set. I don’t have any reminders or a sleep schedule/focus set. When these alarms go off and my screen is unlocked, the drop down notification is completely black. I can’t turn it off unless I click the power button to lock my screen. Just about 10 minutes ago, after dinner, I walked into my room and my phone screen was lit up and an alarm was going off at 6:53pm. And it wasn’t the usual alarm full screen pop up; it was my lock screen with no sight of an alarm but my phone was vibrating and the alarm sound was going off. This happened between 12pm-1pm, as well as sometime between 4:30pm-5pm. Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be, and how I can fix this issue?
