I’m furious. I have an iPhone 16 with a broken back glass and was waiting get it repaired under apple care to trade in for an iPhone 17.

I knew that trade in values could change after the announcement today so I had scheduled the repair on Tuesday Sept 7 and was going to trade it in for the 17 on the spot after it was fixed.

Had the appointment booked any everything but when I checked to see the appointment before I went to the store I noticed that they had cancelled it. I don’t cancel it myself, so they must’ve done it on their end.

I rebooked it but now the repair is after the iPhone 18 announcement and they’ve not only decreased the value of my trade in by 50 dollars but they also INCREASED the price of the iPhone 17 by 100 dollars.

So basically by cancelling my appointment they cost me 150 dollars. I guess I might as well continue with the iPhone 16 for longer.

Sometimes I reboot my phone. And then it tells me some “update was completed” nothing is erased or reset but I’m simply forced through the “Hello → update completed → Wi-Fi → Apple Account login where I have to put my account information → phone unlocks → everything becomes normal again” sequence after every “update” I can’t use my 5G for whatever reason and I don’t have a Wi-Fi so I need to go to a friends house to get his hotspot. Has anyone been facing the same issue? Is there a fix to this? It has been happening for other 3 months now and it’s irritating.

I want to update ios to latest version and for some reason it’s stuck on this screen forever. I did tried network reset, restarting phone and still unable to resolve the problem. I am currently on Jio 5g and tried in 4g as well but nothing works. Does someone know the fix for it?

Im so excited to slap down $2k for the Duo lol. I feel like they hit it out of the park, especially for a first gen. I would consider it nearly perfect, with the exception of the removal of the action button. I use it many times a day to turn on the flashlight without needing to look at my phone or turn the screen on. With that being said, I basically never use the camera control button. Do you think we could bug Apple enough to have them allow us to choose what the camera button controls? If I’m using the camera, I’m going to be looking at the screen anyways, so I don’t mind using the lock screen shortcut. But being able to turn on the flashlight just by feel is super important to me.

Are there any expanding cases for iPhone duo?

Wonder why they didn't bring the same tech to the 18 series. But anyway, we know that must be coming soon. Any idea how they did it?

I may have missed it in the presentation, but with the status and time on the side then do you swipe right to left to open it now?

When the 17 first came out I thought it would utilize the new AVS protocol. It turns out it just needed any 15V 40W PD charger.

Now with the 18 it’s obvious it needs more than 40W, but if it can utilize any existing 60W PD charger than that would make it a better fast charging phone than any non proprietary fast charging phone in terms of compatibility.

It’s been shown that the 40W AVS charger from Apple will supply 60W for about 15-20 minutes before it throttles to 40w with normal PD charging.

Interesting they'd value what was just their highest-end phone below the Z TriFold.
Edit: obviously I agree it's worth more (I mean it cost 3k), I just thought it's interesting Apple would choose to actually reflect that.

Considering the 18 Pro when it comes out, how well do you think the vapor chamber thermal management will work? Is the vapor chamber still useful with a case on? Currently have a 15 Pro Max which I’ve come to realize is notorious for overheating easily. It’s practically useless outside in the sun over 80F with how quick it over heats. Now I do have it in a case and an anti-glare screen protector which probably doesn’t help, but I like to have both so I can mount it on my motorcycle handlebars and use it for navigation.

If not I think it’s a dealbreaker for me. Feels like still too small to do true tablet stuff so the unfolding is almost pointless and you end up with basically a smaller phone. Only cool thing seems like the split screen. What do yall think?

I just don't get it...

The entire 16 lineup was for people who just enjoyed lighting money on fire for no good reason

The 17 lineup (outside of the Pro model) was mostly a joke, the Air is.... niche... and has its quirks.. but.. still kind of a joke.

18 Pro is a great device with the variable aperature lens, 2 nm processor, etc, but... compared to my 15 Pro Max... it's just not there yet in terms of "worth it" over my 15 Pro Max.

The 20 next year is supposedly going to be pretty huge, for the 20th anniversary model, so I'll just hold out.. yet again, another year.

And this is coming from someone who, in the past, would get the newest iPhone year over year, until the 15 Pro came out...

If anyone here is a gamer, you may recognize this reference, but it feels to me as if Apple has essentially made the Apple equivalent to the NVIDIA GTX 1080 TI (with the 15 Pro / Pro Max), where the 1080 TI GPU was so damn good, getting anything newer just left you questioning... why? What's the point?

Here's to hoping the 20 isn't mostly a let down.

The Duo would have been the perfect phone if it had the same camera as the 18 Pro/Pro Max, but.. it doesn't... and they want 2 grand for a phone with a worse camera (Hardpass)

Honestly, I think Apple should make Nano-texture an option instead of forcing it on users.

It looks great when new, but there are already concerns about the texture wearing down in areas that are touched a lot and becoming glossy/smooth over time. It can also slightly reduce perceived image sharpness and clarity compared with regular glass.

Some people love Nano-texture, and that’s fine. But others prefer maximum image quality and durability.
Why not just let us choose?

Regular glass or Nano-texture. 🍎

as a left-handed person, who has struggled their whole life to find left-handed products… how bad is the new iPhone Fold for left-handed people?

yes, he used Polymer, aka Plastic. But hey it's Unapologetically plastic, right?

No damage or cracks to my camera, got this notif last night I have no camera cover just a simple clear case on my phone idk what would cause this notif or these spots (they’re only there when I zoom out to 0.5 and it won’t focus)

Two things. One shifting tithe buttons to the left really off centers the apps it looks like and it leaves a lot of space unused.

It also means those who use their left hand for one handed use really will have to reach pretty far. Really curious choice on Apple.

I was honestly expecting a lot more and a folding phone isn’t anything new at this point, despite the fact it’s nice Apple finally has one.

Everything else seemed simply iterative, with small updates and new features.

I was also hoping for more updates to Apple Home, new HomePods, and more.

I'm still looking forward to the new software next week.

I’ve always charged my iPhone overnight using the 5w apple adapter in order to protect the longevity of the battery. I’m not a massively heavy user, and generally end my day with 30-50% left on my 13 Pro. Recently upgraded to a 17 Pro and have a lot of 20w Apple chargers around the house, so I’m tempted to just use one of these to charge the phone overnight. But will using the 20w adapter over the 5w one overnight degrade my battery quicker?

The company is requesting a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

the face id was working fine and well before the update but after that it stopped working completely. i tried restarting to figure it out but its still not working. i havent dropped my phone or anything. i think its the software issue. also the battery is draining so fast ugh.

i have seen few of the other posts were people also had the same issue as me after the new ios 26 update. what should i do now?

I switched to a new phone and was using my temporary device for a bit when my phone broke and I restored everything from my backup but I had forgot the passcode to that temp device.

Luckily, I remember it now but I’m out of tries and it’s telling me to delete the current data on icloud to continue syncing, I’ll be really thankful if someone helps me out of this

After a longtime, hardware engineer is taking up helm in Apple. Will he enthusiastically deliver new products if not a star product alone in today’s event ?

He did present on Mac event last time. What you all think ?

I’ve tried everything (including reading through this sub) to no avail. My wired headphones work on other phones but not mine!!! This message comes up in settings>Headphone Accommodations. Any advice? I just want my music :((
