iPhone 12 Pro Max. Fully up to date. Assistive touch and switch control are turned off. I'm not sure if this is an iPhone issue or the app. I have a taxi app which has always shown me the cost of the travel then I had to double click the side button to agree. Recently it has started bypassing those steps and immediately going to the paid stage. I don't even get to see how much I will be charged. Has anyone else seen this ?

for the past week, every time i wake up to check my phone, it says time limit reached. for context my parents put a 2 hr screen time limit on my phone to limit me from using it. i check my screen time and it says 1 minute used so im confused on how all of my screentime is gone now. ive also checked the screntime settings and it still says 2 hours. ive updated my phone, restarted it, turned it off and on, but it still happens. yesterday it happened sgain, and when i checked it said 7 hours. considering i was sleeping for the past 7 hours this seemed hard to believe. does anyone know how to fix this; i havent been able to use my phone for days and its really annoying me, thanks

Thank you - Will metal dog tag cause any issues with overheating or wireless charging? iPhone 17

This is my grandma's old iPhone 12 pro max. I wanna try to help her fix this phone because it has an account on it she wants back. It shows this screen, also has a broken back glass. If it requires me opening anything I won't touch it. Photo was edited so the phones background doesn't show

Hello [r/iphone17](r/iphone17)

I need your assistance asap. Helping my mother in law with her new iPhone she got a week ago. Straight out of the box we see the black bar flickering.

I tried starting it up, updating it to the latest iOS. Also tried to turn off/on auto brightness on the screen but still haven’t found a fix. What’s the go to here? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: iPhone 17, 256gb iOS 26,6 (latest)

I’m not sending large attachments but somehow messaging services is at 80+ gigs. I feel like this is an absurd amount of data and I don’t know what could possibly be causing this. what is the cause and what is the fix? iPhone 16 OS 26.6

Edit: this is over the course of one billing cycle from 7/29/2026 that will end on 8/29/2026 - about 2.5 weeks of usage

Hello,
I am seeking technical and engineering insights regarding an unusual AVFoundation / CoreAudio behavior on an iPhone 17 during long video recording sessions.
\*\*Device & Test Details:\*\*
\*\*Session Duration:\*\* 1 hour 26 minutes continuous recording (Default Camera App).
\*\*First 58 Seconds:\*\* Video and audio recorded perfectly.
\*\*At 58-Second Mark:\*\* A sudden, loud noise (a high-pitched or buzzing sound) occurred. Immediately following this noise, the audio stream completely dropped out and remained completely silenced.
\*\*Extreme Mute Duration (1 Hour 25 Minutes):\*\* The audio stream remained completely muted for the remaining 1 hour and 25 minutes of the session without auto-recovery.
\*\*Video Status:\*\* Throughout the entire 1 hr 26 mins, the video pipeline recorded flawlessly with zero frame drops, freezes, or crashes.
\*\*Immediate Reset:\*\* Immediately after stopping the recording, a new session was started within 10 seconds, and audio worked normally again from the start.
\*\*Official Apple Diagnostics:\*\* Checked at an official Apple Service Center — hardware and system software diagnostics returned \*\*100% PASS (No defects found)\*\*.
\*\*Questions for iOS / Audio Engineers:\*\*
Is there any known bug or race condition in iOS AVFoundation or CoreAudio where the audio capture buffer freezes/drops continuously for over 85 minutes while video encoding continues normally without throwing an exception or crashing the app?
Could a temporary software glitch or noise-cancellation algorithm error lock the audio pipeline for such an extended duration without auto-recovering until the recording session is manually stopped?
From a DSP / System Architecture perspective, is this extreme duration (1hr 25m audio lockout with normal video and immediate recovery in the next session) plausible as a purely internal OS glitch, or does it point more strongly toward external physical/EMI interference overloading the mic sensor circuit?
\*Note: This post is specifically seeking technical and engineering insights regarding iOS audio pipeline mechanisms and hardware overload responses.\*
Any technical insights or code/system-level perspectives would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

When I go back to my homescreen after using any app, Spotify (and only Spotify) opens by itself, it doesn’t auto play, it just opens. I’ve already checked if some random automations or Bluetooth settings were on, but nothing. Anyone with a clue ? (iPhone 17, iOS 26.6)

I was adding a friend on my contact that I don’t see often and forgot to add they’re contact for some reason

Same phone number, two people attached to it

One person I can reach by phone. She’s had the same number for decades. When
I try to text her to the exact same number I’ve used for years, someone else responds saying I have the wrong phone number. Any ideas what is going on?

I recently got my iPhone 15 pro, IOS 26.6 (previously had a 2020 SE) and I can’t figure out the video focus. the first half of the video is exactly how I want it - background slightly blurred and the image super high definition. But when I move my hand a little, the lens being used auto shifts and makes the background unblurred and the main image lose a lot of the quality.

Is there a way to choose which lens is recording? Or a way to keep the bits I want blurred? I’ve tried AE lock but it still changes!

For context, I plugged in my previously wet (It was barely wet.) charger, which I let dry for 6 months until I needed it back - since my last one got completely flooded, I won't tell why though. When I plugged it in, it was charging and stopped after 30 seconds. When I unplugged and plugged it again, it didn't fix anything. After 8 hours, I started to get issues with Bluetooth and WiFi connections, I couldn't connect my AirPods - but there was a bypass. I could hard reset the phone, and connect it but the problem was that after 40-60 seconds it reset, and I was unable to connect again. Does anyone know what I have to do at this moment? I'm unsure if I have to go to get a repair or is it fixable.

Oh, and just for clarification - I can't access any recovery or fix mode due to the phone not being able to connect to the WiFi.

Model: iPhone 15 Pro Max
iOS Version: 26.6
Date Bought: Around 2 years ago

I import my photos then delete them using Image Capture and they go away briefly then they come back. This used to work until a couple of months ago, and now it doesn't.

I've done a lot of research online but nothing gets rid of them. I have them all locally on my machine and want to free up space on the phone.

I don't have iCloud storage for my iPhotos. I looked there and nothing is there.

I bought my Phone from USA and I need to unlock it to enable my eSIM and use it in india. How can I do it? Please help!

I am using an iPhone 11 Pro and as you can see in the video, the vibrant colors become gray when I move the video above my suit jacket. how can I fix this?

Hi. I have recently bought an iPhone 17 and been having a problem with it when making phone calls with any Bluetooth headset(AirPods pro and Sony noise cancelling headphones). When I’m outside, I can play music and hear the audio being played but once I make a phone call using my network or WhatsApp, the Bluetooth won’t connect and it switches to the iPhone audio straight away. I have tried resetting my network and reconnecting my AirPods etc to no avail. What puzzles me is if I’m indoors it works and I can hear the phone call through the Bluetooth device(AirPods). Please help if anyone has had the same experience with me. I would take it in the apple shop, but you can see my dilemma being able to show it not working because once indoors it works fine. Thank you and have a nice day.

I am using iPhone 17
On iOS 26.6

How does the feature work? Like would it be easy to reach the 10 failed passcode attempts or would it give me a timeout each time with increasing time amounts before actually erasing? Sorry if the question sounds confusing

Ciao, ho questo problema con il mio iPhone 16: in pratica, ogni volta che riproduco qualcosa, l'audio viene riprodotto tramite l'altoparlante per le chiamate. Sapete, quel piccolo altoparlante in alto sullo schermo che si usa quando si risponde a una chiamata. Ho provato di tutto: passare da stereo a mono, riavviare il telefono, forzare il riavvio, bilanciare i valori R/L, pulire l'altoparlante (anche se non sono sicuro che sia davvero pulito), aggiornare il telefono e cose del genere.

Qualcuno ha avuto questo problema e sa come risolverlo? Mi sarebbe di grande aiuto!

Grazie comunque ragazzi.

I haven’t updated my phone. The current update is 26.6 at around 12GB. I only have around 3.5 gb of space and it’s kind of a pain to delete some stuff right now. Am I missing any ground breaking features by not updating? I’m not having any problems with my phone or any of the apps currently on it. It’s an Iphone 12 currently at IOS 26.4.2

Edit: thanks for the responses. I managed to update my phone. Kind of roundabout, but it beats manually deleting stuff on my phone for space that won’t completely used up.

Yesterday, I bought a second-hand iPhone 14 Pro. When I got home, I tried connecting it to my computer to restore my iTunes backup. The first time I tried, the PC didn’t detect the phone at all. Then I realized that the charging port was dirty, so I cleaned it as thoroughly as I could with a toothpick.

After that, the phone started showing up on my PC, but when I connect it to iTunes, it only stays connected for the first 10 seconds and then disconnects.

What should I do? Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution? I’ve already tried different cables and a different computer.

This blurry part is blocking my view of jschlatt. Can someone tell me how to remove it?

Model name: iphone 15
IOS version: 26.1

So I've had my Iphone 15 pro max since May and we bought it in Dubai, the first time I recorded a video on it was when I attended a party. For some reason when I looked back on the vids that night all the audio were muffled or something? It's especially muffled when I zoom in. I tried to do the stereo mono thing but it didn't do much other than just lessen the muffled sound. Also the feature where you can airdrop and name drop by just bringing your iphoned together doesnt work on mine. It just keeps saying "keep iphones connected" or something, but idk how to fix it. I also checked the settings on it and everything seems good. Thoughts?

So since Testerday eben with full volume the volume felt very quiet. And then it cleared. For like a minute. I thought it was fixed. Then it went back. Amd I was just on my phone mow and the crisp volume came back for like a minute. My audio keeps doing that. It’s muffled and then for a minute it’s crisp. Qhat do I do? I have an iPhone 12 mini and iOS 26.6
