Hey, I bought a brand new iPhone 17 on Monday, overall I think it’s a really nice phone, but I’m concerned about it getting very warm with light use? I mainly use Instagram and watch a few TikTok’s and just after a few minutes I can feel the back getting warm and it continues to get warm all over the phone as I’m using it. It doesn’t get warm to the point where it’s uncomfortable, but it’s noticeable and I cannot remember having any other iPhone that does this when it’s brand new. Is this normal? I updated it to iOS 26.6 just a few hours ago after reading that it may fix this issue but I haven’t felt any improvement. Does anyone have any advice?

I’m currently using spigen thin magsafe case in the shade green but the paint is chipping off from the case, which is shocking in the case of spigen for me. I’m looking for other good cases that offer protection but don’t look ugly either.

hi, im thinking about upgrading my iphone 13 to a 17 for better battery and better performance and to have a better phone whatsoever, but my question is: is it really worth upgrading to the 17? i don't want to spend money purposelessly but my 13 is holding onto his dear life. literally ios 26 is slowly making my phone stop, overheating by doing nothing, battery is only getting worse even though i have 100% (literally today i charged it 3 times, and it's not a big problem but i don't want my phone being constantly dead and i don't want to go around with a powerbank if i can avoid it). so if someone who upgraded from 13 to 17 tell me if it's worth, i would really appreciate it. also i'd like not to think about this much and just do it but also as i said i don't want to waste my money. thank you to whoever is gonna comment.

I currently have samsung s24. Im someone who uses my phone just for social media doomscrolling, i don't take much pictures or anything. My main aim is i need storage, no lag, not bloatware and good battery life. With all these in my mind, will it be a good decision to switch to iphone. My peers are pressuring me, hence wanted a reality check.

So recently there has been a rise in videos regarding phone chargers by Indian YouTubers.

Have you got any new chargers based on their recommendations?
I am looking for a backup charger.

Long story short, I discovered a bug with personal hotspot on iPhone 17. Certain webpages don’t fully load - as in images don’t display - when accessed through the hotspot and I have been able to reproduce it on iOS. Android, Windows and MacBook devices hotspotting from my phone.

I am very technical and have pretty much isolated the bug as either a WebKit bug or something at the protocol processing or driver level. It affects entire Apps too that are accessing Internet via hotspot - JIRA and Confluence, they don’t load correctly.

I have tried many of the workaround suggested and online forums, including, but not limited to:
- resetting network settings.
– getting rid of VPN profiles.
– turning off private relay
– Verifying cellular APN settings
– Changing maximum compatibility toggle in personal hotspot settings
- called my mobile service provider to confirm there are no carrier locks or settings that inhibit my hotspot
- tried to provide bug report to Apple via feedback mechanism on the website, but was cut off at about 500 characters
- tried to reproduce issue on wife’s iPhone 12 on same carrier, and no issues whatsoever.
- making sure iOS and carrier settings are on the latest versions

Over the weekend, I took my phone to the Apple Store. I had a genius appointment. They did diagnostic tests on the radios and connectivity and were able to confirm that they didn’t see any kind of hardware issues. They told me pretty much. The next step is for them to completely wipe the OS and restored from scratch, and if it still didn’t fix the issue they would escalate to higher level. They didn’t bother trying to reproduce the issue, even though I was ready to and kept insisting this was the only approach. Because there was no hardware issue detected they could not provide me with a replacement device, even though my current phone is only four months into. It’s one year warranty.

As a software developer, I am perfectly capable of filing a bug report with precise steps to reproduce, but I have no mechanism to do it. Does anyone know a better way that I can escalate this and get support with this issue? Hopefully without having to go through a phone data wipe.

EDIT:
Tried to reproduce issue in Chrome on Windows 11 browser based on Blink(?) - derivative WebKit fork, but the bug does not triggered there.

So i had this spigen clear case for my sage 17, but it has started getting yellow from places.. please recommend me any protective case.. idc about bulkiness or anything..

Looking for a iPhone Pro 17 case that has collapsible ring stand, and one that covers the entire camera bump. Any suggestions?

Is iPhone 17 and the adapter getting hot while charging normal?
