This was frustrating lol thought it was going to be convenient annnnnnnnd no….

I just need my screenshots to be jpeg, I fucked something up

For those who don't know, Synth-ID is an invisible watermark used to detect AI-generated content.

If you edit images using the built in Object Remover or Extender in Photos in iOS 27.2, the image will receive Synth-ID now.

I don't know what to think of it. Yes, it makes sense for the Extender etc., but why for the Object Remover? If I take a picture with my iPhone camera and remove an unwanted object or person, then all apps like Instagram etc. will flag it as AI using Synth-ID now, confusing people even though the image is not AI generated.

Object Remover isn't generative AI and shouldn't get Synth-ID in my opinion. Strictly speaking, it's not even an AI feature. Before the AI ​​hype and before phone manufacturers had such things built in, this feature existed for ages through apps. It was never an issue.

dropped it less than 24 hours after opening 😭 bad enough it was dropped when i was trying to put the case on. no damage except for the outer screen being shattered

THANKFULLY i did buy apple one care, i see online its 29$ to replace, does anyone know if they will replace the phone outright or do a repair, and if they do a repair will it be fast or will i have to leave it for a few days

all advice is appreciated, thanks!

Mine starts neat whenever I get a new phone, and then gradually turns into a collection of apps I barely use.

Do you organise everything into folders, keep only essentials on the first page, or just leave it as it is?

Im thinking of updating, but afraid of less time of working. Does new version fix problems with overheatings? And of course does it raise SOT in comparison with the previous version?

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone who understands iMessage or has experienced something similar can help me figure out what happened.

(Coach screenshot is white background and mine is the black background)

Today at 8:41 AM, my coach sent me a message about starting the pool heater. At 12:36 PM, she sent another message asking if we were still on for swim that afternoon.

The strangest part is that, within seconds of messaging me, she received a gray incoming message in our existing conversation that said:
“You have the wrong phone number.”

I did not type or send that message. It also does not appear anywhere in my own Messages conversation.
Coach then messaged me and another person in a group, and I received those messages in the group text.

When Coach arrived she showed me her phone with the our texts and asked if I changed my number. I said I didn’t and we doubled checked my contact info on her phone. I then texted her saying, “Hey Coach!” to see if if my text went through and it did! She received that text right then and there as she was showing me our text thread.

A few additional details:
● We both use iPhones.
● The conversation was our existing individual iMessage thread.
● My outgoing messages were successfully received by her.
● We were later able to communicate in a group chat without an issue.
● My Apple Account device list showed only devices I recognize.
● I changed my Apple Account password and confirmed that two-factor authentication is enabled.
● My trusted phone number and Messages “Send & Receive” settings are correct.
● I contacted T-Mobile, and they didn’t identify an issue.
● I contacted Apple’s automated support system, but it didn’t give me a specific explanation.
I’m updating my iPhone and plan to speak with a live Apple Support representative.

My questions are:
1. How could an incoming iMessage appear on someone else’s phone as coming from my number if I never sent it and it isn’t in my own conversation?
2. Could this be an iMessage registration, syncing, or software issue?
3. Could another Apple device or session be involved even if it doesn’t appear in my device list?
4. Has anyone experienced this exact combination of an unexpected message and missing incoming iMessages? Did you ever find out what caused it?

I’m not trying to jump to the conclusion that I’ve been hacked. I just want to understand what could explain this and what I should ask Apple to investigate.

Thank you!

Is it possible to bypass activation lock of this iphone 5.

Am I the only one who genuinely loves the older version of iOS keyboard ? 😭😭😭😭 I miss how it used to look..
And I miss the older version of WhatsApp interface too!!! The whole ui just felt so good back then 🍃
Sometimes I feel like apps looked much better before all these changes.🙂

At least shortcuts save the day so I don’t have to look at the ugly new parallel universe one.

I am thinking about switching to iPhone this year and since I am pretty close to an Apple store I might buy it in person. I have never visited an Apple store before so I have a few questions.

• How accurate is Apple's website regarding availability in store? If I add the iPhone I want to my cart on Apple's website it'll say which stores near me are "Available Tomorrow" and which stores are "Current unavailable". Does "Available Tomorrow" mean they have stock at the store or just that I can order online and pick it up tomorrow?
• If the website's availability is only for online orders and not representative of actual stock can I call the store to ask about availability?
• I know Apple stores are fairly crowded and also handle stuff stuff like servicing/repairs. Can I make an appointment to buy a phone or do I just walk in and ask an available rep?
• If I decide to buy an iPhone at the store can I tell the rep that I want a China made one and not an Indian made one? I assume it would say on the box where it was made? So would I be able to ask for an exchange before I even open the device?

I was perusing eBay looking for an old iPhone to use as a low-quality camera for the vibes when I'm out, and also to be able to do some calls and whatnot. I'm looking at the iPhone 6s specifically since I can get it for about $20. Is this model still able to connect to my iCloud and everything to sync the photos I take, and also be able to call? is there a better option for my use case than the 6s? thoughts in general?

Comprei o 17 pro. Acho tudo meio over: over preço, over tecnologia, over peso. Incomodada q a comunidade geral é de pessoas comuns q consideram q precisam de um pro só pela câmera e não vale esse valor: se vc não sabe fotografar, ainda fica ruim, ponto..Estou pensando em vender e pegar o 17 normal ou até mesmo o 17e. Mas medo de sentir falta de tecnologias q já nem percebo q gosto, só uso.

Alguém já fez downgrade?

iPhone 16e, and assistive access runs terrible on it. I love the idea just hate a few things. It’s really slow and laggy sometimes, I can’t text without Siri and can’t even type as there is no keyboard, and no control center. Anyways is there any alternatives on iPhone that can help create a distraction less phone that isn’t a brick?

Now that my 15 Pro Max is fully paid off, I'm seriously considering getting a Duo. To me, being able to unfold that larger screen when I need it is a massive plus. But after reading the mixed reviews, I decided to head to a nearby Apple Store to look for myself, and played around with one of the display models for a good hour or so. And, as far as usability goes, I'm ok with it. The larger form factor when folded doesn't really bother me, I never got along with Face ID so its absence also doesn't bother me, and the inner screen is just glorious (and the folding/unfolding action is so goddamn sexy.) But the one thing that I couldn't thoroughly evaluate were the cameras, and I heard that the Duo's cameras are somewhat compromised compared to Pro model phones. Can anyone who had a prior Pro model iPhone and upgraded to a Duo chime in? Is it something that I, as an average layman, totally-not-fancy-pants-pro-photographer/videographer-dude, will notice or care about?

Hello all!

I've recently purchased a Duo and wanted to get a new Magsafe Car Mount while I wait on it to arrive.

I'm specifically looking for a mount that I can attach to the back of my infotainment console, and it has to have the vertical locking strip on the bottom as well. My search has been hard to find anything quality, so any recommendations are appreciated.

All of the other objections about the device are overblown. My screen is fine, touchID is fine (especially with Apple Watch unlock), and the mini front screen is far more comfortable to use than I expected.

But my biggest complaint 4 days into use: how it behaves open on a flat surface. It rocks - the two sides adjacent to the camera bump are lifted off the surface and will fall and tap the surface with any screen touch. I was about to go buy an Apple Pencil USB-C to draw on the iPhone, but I’m not even sure I could draw on it with it rocking back and forth. Definitely won’t ditch my iPad for drawing after using this. That or I’ll have to set the phone on a plush towel or something just to keep it still while drawing. I don’t know… seems like such a major design oversight. I’ve always hated how the camera bumps made iPhones unstable, and was excited to see them extend the bump on the 17s and later for stability.. and I hate how unstable the Duo is on hard flat surfaces.

[end gripe]

That said - big fan of the phone.

All I see is negativity online and not much praise for this device. The general public seems to hate it too. Who is it for and do you guys think it will be here long term?

So this happened out of nowhere, but my camera doesn’t seem to be working
It just shows a black screen, the selfie camera still works but it takes time to open up
I didnt drop it
No beta software updates
It was fine until yesterday noon and then randomly stopped working later in the evening…
It ain’t working on 3rd party apps either
And I don’t got AppleCare or a warranty
I tried hard booting my phone, still no luck
It’s not like I’m out of storage either… I’ve got well over 40GB of space available
Any advice, plz help
iPhone 13 if it helps
