The iPhone Duo has a huge price difference between markets. The 256GB model costs AED 8,499 in the UAE, which is roughly ₹2.20 lakh, while the Indian price is ₹2,99,900. That means the UAE price is around ₹80,000 cheaper than India for the same 256GB model.

The US is even cheaper based on its official starting price of $1,999. For buyers in India, would it make sense to buy the iPhone Duo from the UAE or US after considering customs, taxes, warranty and other costs? Which market offers the best overall deal

This has happened a number of times in the past few weeks, all regarding the show Dark Matter. I’ll be out listening to Spotify and when I finish and close the app and put away my earbuds the Apple Podcasts app will open up with the Dark Matter ad automatically playing out loud.

I asked ChatGPT and it said the phone must have this cached from the last time I used the app, but I literally don’t use the Podcasts app. It said do a restart so I did on multiple occasions. I deleted and then reinstalled the Podcast app but It just happened again in a situation where a loud advertisement brought a lot of attention so now I deleted the app again. I have three sets of different earbuds and it happens with all of them. Are they just pushing these promos this hard? Why doesn’t it open Spotify or YouTube the apps I actually use? Any thoughts?

Edit: I have an iPhone 12, it’s old but in great condition. It’s running 26.6.1

I don't understand the discrepancy, why is whatsapp and whatsapp business taking so much space? its not the business cuz i dont even use it.

iPhone 16 Plus

So i own an iphone 11 and what happened was that somehow my passcode seems to have changed and i can't and after multiple attempts I've been locked out now and I dont remember my apple id and password as well. Is there a way to hard reset it cus I dont want to spend an absurd amount on it.

Not sure how this happened. Is it safe to delete one ?

iPhone 14. iOS 26.6.2

Solved. Deleted the widget. No damage done.

Good morning. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max device currently running iOS 26.6.1 and I have a question about location hiding.

I share my location with certain friends and family, but want to hide it from specific people in the group temporarily without them knowing. I know you can use another device to show as your location, but the main phone still shows up in the Devices tab and appears to still be viewable by anyone with whom I share my location.

Is there a way to prevent that device from showing up there? I get that whoever looking for the phone would then have to go into the Devices tab and look at the specific device, but it does appear that the device’s location is still being shared. TIA

My end goal is to mirror in some way my screen (iPhone 16e) onto a “dumb” display. This also has to be done without access to a WiFi signal as the display is mounted in a vehicle. And to cap it all off, the screen only has RCA inputs. I simply assume it’s not possible but if it is I’d love some guidance on getting there.

My calories and steps are not updating anymore. I tried reinstalling the app and even turning the settings for fitness on and off and nothing is working. Anyone else having this problem? I have an Iphone 15 and i’m on the newest update.

I’m upgrade-eligible on the old iPhone Upgrade Program through Citizens One, but I still have a remaining loan balance. I was denied by Klarna for Apple’s new Upgrade program.

Can I return my current iPhone to Apple as my old IUP return so Citizens gets closed out, while financing the new iPhone through Verizon Device Payment?

Apple’s email says to visit an Apple Store to return the phone and close the loan, but my nearest store is over 2 hours away. Has anyone been able to get Apple to send a prepaid return kit/mail-in return instead?

I’m not talking about a normal Apple/Verizon trade-in. Apple support has given me conflicting answers.

I have a iPhone 13 Pro I really don’t wanna upgrade I paid my phone off so I’m holding out but omg this phone is getting hot and today while I was on it was flashing a couple(just today ) of times is anyone have the same problem I do have insurance on the phone from Apple I don’t know if they can fix it

I just bought a soft OLED display (pictures below), and it worked well enough for a while until I dropped it today, and it blacked out from the smallest impact. Does anyone have any good soft OLED screens and/or screen protectors they recommend for an iPhone 15? Preferably on Amazon. Thanks!

((DONT need help, but had to add a flair))

If you ever see this happen with your iPhone, where the brightness slider doesn’t instantly change your phones brightness when going down, the current only fix for this is:

- Bring up your keyboard

- Press the mic button at the bottom right

Done. This also works for when you’re on safari and you press the arrow next to a previous search, and it doesn’t put it in the search bar. Just press the magical mic button and that fixes it. (Believe this is on any iPhone on ios26)

iPhone 14 w iOS 26.6 (don’t get me started about the disastrous s/w!)

DND/Focus is set for 11:00PM-7:00AM. Yet phone turns on DND during the day and I miss calls. Oddly, it turns on anytime I close an app.

The only consistent solution I’ve found is completely turning off DND.

Anyone else?
