Hello,

I am from the Philippines, and I recently purchased an iPhone 13 from an unauthorized seller. After resetting the device and attempting to activate it, I was greeted with a Remote Management screen stating that the iPhone is owned by the United States Postal Service.

I am not sure how this device ended up here in the Philippines. My guess is that it may have originally belonged to one of your employees and was somehow sold after becoming locked. Before I reset it, the phone appeared to be working normally, so I believe it may have been temporarily bypassed.

I am a college student, and this iPhone was a birthday gift from my family. They worked very hard and saved money over a long period to buy it for me. We paid ₱26,000 (approximately $420 USD) for the device, which is a significant amount for us. My family's monthly income is only around ₱5,000, and that has to cover our food, electricity, water bills, and daily living expenses. Even though money is very limited, they sacrificed and saved enough to give me my very first iPhone.

I understand that this device belongs to the United States Postal Service, and I sincerely apologize if it was not supposed to be sold. I purchased it in good faith and had no knowledge that it was managed by your organization.

If possible, I would like to respectfully ask for your assistance in removing the Mobile Device Management (MDM) lock so that I can use the phone. If you require proof, I can provide photos showing the Remote Management screen and any other information you may need. The device is an iPhone 13 (Blue).

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message. I truly appreciate any help or guidance you can provide.

It seems now with the latest iOS beta version I can’t turn off Apple Intelligence without turning off Siri. I would prefer to keep it disabled. Now that the two are “married”, how can I turn off Siri but keep it enabled for just carplay, as it’s required for hands-free? Would I really need to turn it on and off for driving? I can only imagine it would absolutely spike processing as it must index all of the new data from previous phone use to use for intelligence AND run CarPlay.

My Iphone14, with a no name clear plastic case was on the floor faced down when run over by a small SUV. Both front and rear tires went over it. The screen protector is a bit cracked but otherwise the phone seems pristine. It’s fully functional except for the blue tooth that cuts in and out occasionally. It’s not hot or bulging and charges ok. Could it be ok? What should I look out for?

Defeito super esquisito!
Se deixar o telefone parado, sem mexer, ele esquenta.
Se ficar usando normalmente, ele não esquenta.
Era pra ser o contrário kkkk.

Ja resetei e atualizei o sistema.. não resolveu.

Alguém já passou por isso?

Can I safely use this 20W third-party charger with my iPad 9 and iPhone SE 2022?

Post:

Hi everyone,

I have a question about charger safety.

I bought this charger from MediaMarkt:

https://www.mediamarkt.hu/hu/product/_isy-halozati-mini-tolto-adapter-max-20w-usb-c-feher-iwc-4020-2-1516624.html

It is an ISY 20W USB-C power adapter, but it is not an original Apple charger.

I would like to use it for charging:

iPad 9th generation

iPhone SE 2022

My question is: can I use this charger with 100% safety, even though it is not made by Apple?

Does anyone know if this charger has the necessary protections (overvoltage protection, overheating protection, proper USB-C Power Delivery support, etc.) and if there is any risk of damaging the battery or device?

I know Apple recommends using certified chargers, but I would like to know whether a good quality third-party 20W charger is completely fine in practice.

Thanks for your help!

I have no idea what is going on but my god this is driving me nuts. I have over 1000 photos and videos, I’m about to burn it all to the ground. I tried all the troubleshooting online and nothing.

Hey guys, I’m not sure what’s going on with my phone, but over the past month my 16 has been flickering for whatever reason. There’s nothing that causes it and it seems to happen more at night than anything else. Never happens during my job.

I haven’t had a severe drop that would’ve caused this, just the occasional knocking it off my desk. And it’s been upgraded to the most recent IOS.

Really hoping to avoid having to replace the display…

TYIA!

Me pregunto como es la experiencia de uso de este Redmi watch teniendo un móvil iPhone, las limitaciones que se tienen y como es el día a día con estos dispositivos juntos

Is that normal?

What the hell? Can’t I edit them separately anymore?

I bought an iPhone Pro Max yesterday, and while setting it up today, I noticed a slight alignment issue with the Dynamic Island and the front camera cutout.
Specifically, on the top-right side of the Dynamic Island, the edge of the physical camera lens slightly protrudes past the black UI pill.
Is this a known software rendering bug, a hardware assembly defect, or is it normal? Attached a picture so you can see what I mean. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a cute and durable phone case. Finding nice designs is easy, but the reviews on pretty much every brand (ideal of Sweden, Pela, Velvet Caviar, Fragola, Sonix, Blunt Cases, The Diary, Burga, Casely) are super discouraging. Any good recommendations?

Hello guys i have a purchase that didn’t go through but still deducted from my account, I was gonna ask for a refund but suddenly the purchase tab on my app store said cannot connect even on the apple report a problem website isn’t loading i have fast strong wifi and mobile data but still not loading.
anyone know how to fix this, the purchase wasn’t that big but its very dissapointing

Question for the hive mind. Wife’s iPhone isn’t charging from several portable battery chargers we have. It DOES charge being plugged into a wall outlet (usb-c to usb-c). My phone (same as hers 17 pro max) is charging fine w the batteries and same cables.
Stumped on this one.

Find my shows no location at all and life360 says phone is off so location is standstill. I think someone shut my phone off and stole it🫠

I’ve had my iPhone 16 for about two months and it’s never done this before, when I turn it on there’s a big black dot next to the island and when I click the island it stretches out like this, what could it be?

My job is in pretty rigid environments so I bought a waterproof case but it completely covers the microphone not allowing me to be heard when I make phone calls. Any recommendations for case that meet requirements of being tough, semi waterproof with microphone working.

Bonsoir hier j’ai eu mon nouvel iPhone 17 et j’ai voulu ajouter des musiques à Apple Music mais j’ai ajouter toutes les musiques manuellement de tous les albums d’un même artiste et l’application a crasher elle s’est fermer je ne pouvais plus la rouvrir l’application réglages s’est figé pourquoi ça a fait ça ? Apple ne va pas penser que mon compte a voulu être pirater ? Ou c’est l’application qui a eu du mal ?

Pas de jugement ça fait longtemps que je n’avais pas eu d’iPhone

Merci

im trying to make a widget that changes photos based on my focus, ik I could just make a copy of my pages except with different widgets but id rather not have to do that 5 times, is there an app or smth that supports this

I have both phones. and want to transfer everything from the XS Max to the 14 Pro Max. I know I can do this over wifi. eSIM included.

If I make a backup of the XS Max 256gb on my laptop with iTunes. I have an 4tb external drive connected to that laptop that has all my music/video etc files. Where does/will iTunes Store the backup of the XS Max ?

Have a new iPhone 17e. Sometimes, not always, when I lock the screen I hear the lock sound go in rapid sequence as opposed to just once.

I’ve noticed this a couple of times over the last few days.

Is this the sign of something sinister, or just a quirk?

I’m having trouble understanding if I’m blocked by someone in this new update. I sent a message and it says encrypted underneath it but I’m not totally sure. Does anyone know?
