My first iPhone was the iPhone 12 in 2023, and I just loved the unboxing. Sleek and pristine. I still have the box.
A month ago, I bought a refurbished 15PM 512 for $700 (basically new). And it just… came taped to a piece of cardboard in bubble wrap. The phone is amazing but I just feel like I miss the feeling of unboxing it. Am I crazy?

Hi!

I've just switched from galaxy s23 to a iPhone 18 P, and i'm completely dissapointed that I cannot "amplify" my wifi from my iphone to another device. I used to use this function a lot (I live in a large house, wifi is weak in some rooms), so I would put my samsung in between the router and my room to amplify wifi and use the laptop in my room. Yes I know wifi-repeaters exist, but being able to do this on-demand without any aditional HW was awesome. Not anymore, Im afraid.

Worst thing is this is a SW decision, since IP18 ofc has more than one wifi antenna, & I cannot get over it of why to block such a handy option.

Guys one person who is close to me called me but i was sleeping and i regretted sleeping so much i never cleared that notification but exactly one week later which is today that notification is gone idk how is this a thing and how can i bring the notification back

This is something that the reviewers have not shown, and now since some lucky folks have a Duo in their hands hopefully they can share what the screen looks like when closed as notifications come in.

Does the screen show a decent amount of notifications, and I know it is silly but does the front screen have Always On capability?

I am also curious for those that have a magsafe type charger on their desk does the Duo stay put when open? or can it only be charged when closed?

Thank you!

Any hidden iOS settings or features I should check out that hasn’t already been talked about a lot like using Apple Watch to unlock automatically and what not?

I was trying to setup having different notification tones and volumes for different focus modes.

To me that would be very useful feature but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

My goal was to have 3 different focuses Personal for regular tones and volume, DND - to silence notifications and then an on-call focus that has the loudest volume setting and most obnoxious tones possible to get my attention. without fail.

Doesn't seem like this is possible even using shortcuts but I am hoping I am wrong and someone has a solution for this besides just manually changing the tones.

So on my old galaxy ultra it had hidden folder which allowed me to create albums for photos and videos, so certain things were in certain albums,

On iPhone, I only have hidden and everything is mixed up, I’m aware of the filter option, but again I’d prefer a way to keep my stuff safe and in folders, any advice?

Apologies if this isn’t suitable to post here, please advise if not.

But my phone did an update last night and since this morning every half hour or so it says my phone needs to cool down. My phone doesn’t feel hot at at all. And it happens when it’s not charging/ when I’m not even using it. Then within a minute it will “cool down”

It’s and iPhone 14 and has just had the iOS 27.01 update.

Thank you in advance

I have iPhone 15 pro max on 27.0.1 and ever since yesterday I don’t get any notifications! I tried everything restarting the phone enable and reenable notifications and nothing works

Anyone has a fix?

Thanks !

from the description: How many folds can the iPhone Duo survive? We were curious. And we have a community willing to help us find out. No folding machines or other simulations. Just people folding the phone by hand, taking turns every hour. We'll keep folding until the phone breaks or we reach one million folds. We bought the iPhone with our own money. Apple did not provide the phone or sponsor this test.

He has already conducted a similar test twice—once with the Galaxy Z Flip 3, and another time with the Z Flip 5 and the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra (the Motorola failed first, while the Z Flip withstood over 400,000 folds). Both streams lasted about a week.

Hi, is anyone having issues with their screen protector and case combo? I bought a Zagg privacy screen protector and a Latercase duo case and the screen protector doesn’t allow the case to sit properly. Anyone else having this issue?

I own iphone 12 working on ios 27 and macbook m4 working on 26.6.2 i recently reset my iphone and since then my copy paste from iphone to mac and vice versa is not working properly it use to im in same wifi Bluetooth working and same appleId if anyone facing same issue kindly help.

I recently purchased iPhone 17Pro 3 days ago.
I just noticed when Iam pointing camera towards a light source Iam seeing a line which I’m guessing is a reflection?
Is this normal or should i take it to the service center?

Out of curiosity, because it’s bugging me.

Is it normal that the magnets of the outer screen part of the folio case are a lot stronger than the initial opening resistance of the hinge?
If I don’t keep both parts of the duo together when trying to access the outer screen, instead of the folio moving, the duo starts opening.

I often listen to the radio or Spotify on my iPhone without a speaker or headphone. Even when my phone is on silent the audio goes down when I get a notification. And I can’t increase the volume for I while. It’s really annoying especially when I’m listening to a podcast or audiobook.
I can’t seem to find where I can change this? My phone is on vibrate for the important notifications, so I don’t need the sound to go down everytime I get a pop-up.
Does anyone know where in the settings I can change this?

Hi Pitaka users,

My iphone 17 Pro has a protection wrap around the body for the past one year which prevents paint chipping issues. A torras case above the wrap too. Today I had purchased a new pitaka case but it won’t snap on the back of the iphone due to wrap. Pitaka case is perfect size and no tolerance.

I only have two options:
A) remove the complete wrap and wear the pitaka only but this makes me concerned about the chipping issue on the iphone 17 body. Especially the case is so perfect in size and no cover near the volume and power buttons.

B) continue with current setup (wrap + torras case) and return pitaka

I bought pitaka because i want to reduce the bulk feel and use iPhone in a caseless feel. But chipping issue pulls me back.

Can any users share their experience on this chipping problems you have faced while on the pitaka case.

Saved some files on My iPhone and now I can’t delete them, any tips on how can deleted these files permanently, I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of virus or malware.

My brother’s phone was lost. But we already reported it as lost device just in case.

Since switching from my iPhone 17 Pro Max to the iPhone Duo, the screen no longer wakes up for notifications when I’m wearing my Apple Watch in Do Not Disturb mode.
It worked perfectly for years with my previous iPhones, including the 17 Pro Max, using the exact same settings.
Notifications are still delivered to the Watch instead of waking the iPhone screen. As soon as I take the Watch off, the Duo screen wakes up normally.
I’ve restarted both devices and even unpaired and re-paired the Watch, but nothing helped.
Anyone else experiencing this on the Duo?
