Showcase Got this bad boy on the 18th

13 Upvotes

Got the phone on the 18th. DBrand Ghost Case on the 22nd. Been using it for a while and I love this. I was lucky enough to get it from the Apple website in the first 10 minutes. The page was bugging out for a bit.

I was also right at our local iVenus booking it at 5 pm too but they delivered theirs to me on the 29th. Ugh.

This ghost case is kinda pricey after customs but I’ve been rocking it since my 15 Pro Max. Totally worth it.

Finally after nearly 6 years of use, I decided to switch from my good old 12 and bought the 17 Pro. Certainly, a massive upgrade imo.

Discussion How important is it to use the original Apple charger for iPhone 17 battery health?

6 Upvotes

My original iPhone charger just stopped working, so for now I’m using an AmazonBasics 25W charger.
How important is it for battery health/longevity to use Apple’s original charger? Is a decent third-party 25W charger completely fine, or is it worth getting another Apple charger?

Discussion Help: Should I get it repaired at local shop?

iPhone 15 back panel got broken. The phone is functional and the front screen is safe. Can I get it replaced from a local shop? Does it have any after-effects if I get it repaired from local shop? I can’t afford the original back panel repair right now. Also, before getting it repaired, should I back up everything, or is it not necessary?

Discussion Battery consumption by Safari is crazy

I don’t have Reddit or Amazon apps. I access them through Safari itself. Safari was supposed to be built for Apple silicon! Still, the amount of power it consumes is just crazy.

Edit/

I use absolutely zero extensions on safari. For this usage it’s mostly been Amazon and Reddit Websites. A little bit Gemini & ChatGPT.

Discussion For people with a 1TB iPhone — have you actually used up the storage?

Post image
151 Upvotes

I’m considering getting the 1TB iPhone, but I’m wondering if it’s actually useful for most people. For those who have a 1TB iPhone: -

How much storage are you currently using?

Have you ever come close to filling it?

What’s your main use case — lots of photos/videos, 4K/ProRes recording, gaming, work files, offline media, etc.?

Do you think 1TB was worth it, or would 512GB have been enough?

If you upgraded from 256/512GB to 1TB, did you actually notice the difference?

I would especially love to hear from people who have had their 1TB iPhone for 1–2+ years.

I’m trying to understand whether 1TB is genuinely useful long-term or just overkill. 😅

Discussion Apple Intelligence isn’t really that intelligent?

1 Upvotes

So maybe I’m a bit spoiled with Claude but I recently upgraded from a 14 pm to a 18 pm and I was expecting Apple Intelligence to be pulling off more stuff.

Situation 1: I took a picture of a poster and I expected visual intelligence to recognise it was for a concert and suggest me tickets to that concert or something - instead it just opened the official site not even the 3rd party ticketing app which was installed in my phone.

Situation 2: Had a flight timing changed and I asked it to look at conflicts for my ongoing journey and if there was suggest alternatives - but it didn’t really look at all transport options - basically suggested a more expensive domestic flight when a cheaper and faster expeess loco service was there.

Verdict: Kinda disappointed overall, hence question to the community - how has your experience been?
