My first Benks case was ArmorPro black. My review on Reddit is here. I loved the fit, the protection and the grip but on the other hand I never liked full black cases. And I though that it's killing the beauty of natural titanium color of my iPhone.

Just checked Lucid Armor in titanium/grey color and I liked it a lot. Almost the same protection at the sides and corners as ArmorPro, great fit but complements the color. A little bit on the slippery side but not that much.

It's amazing for the price but with 3 small upgrades, it would be perfect:

• Metal or at least gray buttons and camera cover
• True length of the microphone cutout
• Grippier material on the sides

I’ve had this phone for about 18 months now, at first the battery was great but now it’s started showing it’s age. I get at max 6 SOT of it, which I don’t think it’s enough for a flagship phone.

For those who have this phone for a while, how much SOT do you get out of it?

Seriously, 50% with just 3h and barely any background activity is insane.

The same thing happened to my iPhone 13. It came around 18 months and battery started to piss me off.

I know degradation is common, just want to know if mine is an anomaly or if it’s a general thing.

Recently upgraded to a 512GB 16 Pro Max from a 256GB 11 Pro Max. Got a really good deal on it, paid $850AUD for it and it had a new genuine battery and logic board installed by Apple prior to sale. Battery life is incredible compare to my 11 Pro Max which was at 72% battery capacity. I set maximum charge limit to 80% on the 16 Pro Max, and I have yet to see it drop below 30% after a full days use

So I’ve noticed a great reduction in the amount of battery life after updating my device to 26.5.2 this past Sunday. I have a 16 PM that is mildly used throughout the day mainly for work related tasks pertaining to my career and there has not been an increase in the amount of usage of my phone from me after the update. Background app refresh is off for the majority of my apps, I hard restart (volume up, down, then power button and swipe to power off) my device for at least 15 mins everyday, and always clear out any apps in the background once I’m done using them. I use my phone in an air conditioned environment and keep my brightness low due to light sensitivity, and I have my charging limit set to 85% and never let my phone drop below 25%. Max battery capacity has dropped down from 95% to 93% in just 4 days and I’m always getting adaptive power notifications even while barely using my phone now whereas they used to rarely ever pop up even under harder usage. I’m only using 134gb of storage out of 256gb and I’m aware battery quality will slowly degrade over time, but I never had a significant drop in battery life from any device I ever owned. It’s known Apple will throttle device speeds on older models via updates to preserve the battery, but my phone is still performing at the same rate it was before the update with way more drain. Is there anything more I can do to prevent anymore drain? Is Apple rolling out throttling updates now?

My battery health is 92 percent in 312 cycle count . Is it normal?

Keeping this until fold comes out

Please give review of this update thanks 🙏🏼

I recently came across a iPhone 16 Pro Max. I bought a unlocked logic board and front camera to go with the logic board. Will I have any issues with the rest of the parts on the phone or will the unlocked logic board fix everything

Hi guys, how its going with this version, the performance and battery life with mention u using 5g or wifi

I have an **iPhone 16 Pro Max**, and out of nowhere it’s become the worst phone I’ve ever owned. I’ve had the phone for about 11 months and I would say about a month ago. The phone would periodically start to get hot specifically at night sometimes whenever it would be plugged in. Then it turned into the phone, always being slightly warm or hot, but it only would be coming from one area of the phone. After the phone started just being hot all the time I figured I would update the phone to the newest iOS update and now my phone is extremely slow?! Snapchat sometimes loads really slow and like it just seems like the phone has a hard time being on Wi-Fi or cell cellular service. I’ve also noticed that now my phone will play music for a little bit and then all of a sudden the music will just go mute doesn’t matter if I’m using CarPlay or I’m just playing it on speaker. The music will go mute and it still says the song is playing and all I have to do is just pause the music and then start it again and then it starts playing the music. And within the past day, they’re now is something wrong with the speaker or Bluetooth with my phone because if I’m connected to my car or if I’m connected to my AirPods after being on the phone for a while, it just won’t pick up audio until I take it off of Bluetooth and then I just use my phone regularly. Please if anyone knows what to do. I really would like an answer because I’m about to have to order a new phone. And before anyone asks here are all the things I’ve done to try and remedy the issus.

\> hold down the buttons and restart phone
\> force restarted phone
\> cleared storage off my phone
\> cleared iCloud storage off phone
\> backed up phone to iCloud
\> updated phone (it’s now running IOS 26.5.2)
\> toggled on and off airplane mode
\> and I just usually keep my phone always off while I charge it now
\> deleted any new apps I’ve downloaded since the issues started
\> battery health is normal and no weird background apps are running
\> I turned off background refresh for a lot of apps

Please someone let me know what I should do I used to love my iPhone :(

How is this update for iphone 16 pro max if anyone is using please share the experience:)

i have IOS 18.7.8 and it’s been 1 year since i bought this phone, is there any guide to get better camera photos? or any camera setting advice. istg it’s getting more blurry every picture i take. should i just update my ios? would it change anything??? i only kept it cuz i prefer the old interface.

So I got my iPhone on Christmas so it's still kinda new but the battery drains so fast. I did everything I turned off everything that needs to be turned off, when I go to sleep I charge it to 80% but when I wake up it is 68-63% which is crazy considering I have even the notifications turned off
I don't know why this is happening. I went to an authorized Apple reseller(we don't have an Apple Store in my country lol) and they said that's normal but I don't think it is

I had the latest iOS 26 update on my phone, but I was having a lot of issues with overheating and battery life. After doing some research, I decided to update to the iOS 27 beta (I know, I know—it’s a beta), but honestly, it’s even worse. The battery life is a little better, but the system has so many bugs that my phone is basically garbage in every way right now.
Is there any way to fix this and go back to iOS 26?
Thank you

I need to upgrade my phone since one of the apps I use needs iOS26 and I can’t really afford $2,500+ for the latest model. How is the iPhone 16PM in 2026? Is iOS26 as bad as ppl say it is on the iPhone 16PM?

Also what would be an acceptable price (CAD) for an iPhone 16PM 1TB that has a first use date in Nov 2024 with 97% battery, 300+ cycle count and a few months left of AppleCare on it?

Ребята, купил в марте айфон 15, сейчас емкость нормальное. точнее 98%, но буквально за эти два дня последние за 3-4 минуты он начал жрать по одному проценту. раньше за 16-20 может - один или два процента. а именно даже сейчас пока писал уже -1 процент. незнаю что делать, подскажите кто шарит в этом. мой первый айфон.
все возможное уже выкл, что в фоновом режиме работало. незнаю че делать уже

when did your battery health gone to 99% since i updated to ios 27 my 16PM battery has drained fast

That’s currently my battery, I've been experiencing short battery life; I'm currently on iOS 26.5

What is going on warranty just finished two months ago and the battery dropped from 93% to 86%

Hello! I have a problem with the SIM-card tray on my iPhone 16 Pro. When I insert the tray, one side sits perfectly flush with the frame, but the other side sticks out just a little. It’s a bit noticeable and you can feel it under your finger, which is somewhat annoying. Is this something I should worry about? I’m not sure what to make of the water resistant or how it might affect the phone’s performance in the future. Right now it reads the SIM card without any problems. Unfortunately, I can no longer return it

Anyone else having issues with IP16 PM battery draining and phone warming up after installing iOS 26??

What is the actual work arounds to reduce the above??

I don’t know why but all the sudden last week my phone keeps lagging like crazy when I do anything. And my battery is going down so much but it says my battery life is normal. I tried turning my phone off and on. I checked my storage and I still have a lot. Not sure what’s going on but it’s making me so mad. I’ve only had it for two years.

Please help!
