I don’t love the 16Pro camera, but the macro function seems pretty great. Here is a sample of my Eddy Bauer pants. The weave is very small and hard to make out with the naked eye

This is so strange to me. I have an iPhone and have pretty much used apple exclusively since smartphones became a thing.

My mom just recently switched from a Google phone to an iPhone, but now, our texts aren’t going through.

I tried disabling RCS and SMS/MMS in her settings to get things switched over to iMessage, but that didn’t work.

I also updated her contact in my iPhone in case that was the problem (I was overseas for a long time, and it duplicated my contacts and added in all sorts of wrong country code info). Now, in her contact on my phone, ALL of the info is right…but our messaging doesn’t work at all.

It’s so weird — I’ve never seen this before “Text Message • RCS” in the text field where you type…

Anyone have any ideas on how to get our text messaging to work? Or do we need to go to the cell provider? Or apple?

TIA.

What things are different in these too

Hi all, as you may know, when it gets dark, and you wanna take a photo using your telephoto lens, the phone will most likely decide that it can get a better result using the main camera, which is bullshit imo, and Apple should give us a manual focus mode too.

Is there any reliable workaround to avoid this? I’ve tried my best to shoot the Moon with my 16 Pro, but it just falls apart, and is nowhere near as good as my old Galaxy S20+, even in its preview, before any image processing.

These 2 images were my best attempts, the rest were white blobs. I used to take a lot of pictures of the Moon, so this is frustrating. But this and the keyboard are my only complaints so far, iOS has been a wonderful experience otherwise.

I’m using the Passwords app, as I don’t intend to migrate to a different phone, I will use iPhone forever.

My concern is: the app will use the Face ID to identify you and on 3 attempt will ask you for the your passcode. If your phone is stolen and the thief manages to get your passcode also (which is how most of the time happens, because they watch you enter it), he can have access to all your passwords for a short period of time, until you put the phone in Stolen mode.

If I enable the Face ID requirement for Passwords app, this will produce the expected result, it will always ask for Face ID, skipping the passcode. Is that the best practice to protect your passwords in this specific case?

What other suggestions you have to further enhance the phone security, in case of theft where the thief has access to passcode for a brief period of time? For example, I cannot protect the Settings app with a Face ID.

Wasn’t the whole point to have as much on-device processing as possible?

A couple of months ago, my iPhone 15 Pro Max was stolen from a park bench. Since I had AppleCare, I filed a claim, which was approved, and I received a replacement phone.

I hadn’t given much thought to my stolen phone until yesterday, when I opened Find My to locate my AirPods. To my surprise, I saw that the stolen iPhone was showing a live location—not far from where I live.

I erased and reset the phone remotely when it was stolen, but now I’m worried that my iCloud account might still be linked to it, and someone could have access.

Is this possible? Does anyone have any experience of a stolen iPhone location appearing in Find My after erase?

I've only had my iPhone 16 Pro max for four hours and this happened!!!

Okay so I took some pictures of northern lights with iphone 16 pro max. Why the other looks like shit with yellow light and other clear? Like 3/4 of pictures look like that and the others look good.

so i upgraded from the 13 to the 16 pro for christmas this year and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! i do have some questions about the phone in general as my new phone anxiety is very bad 😭 1. how hard is it to scratch the cameras on the back? I have a phone case with a lip on the back to prevent this but it still makes me nervous 2. is there any possible way that i can damage my microphone on my phone (bottom 3 dots next to the charger port) just from blowing on it? there was a crumb of something in there and i just blew on it to get it out. the microphone wasn’t on at all but it still makes me nervous and i recorded a voice memo and it sounds all good and very clear! i know these questions sound a little nutty, but i just want to make sure my phone is still working fine as it should! thank you!

How do I get it to stop?

Hi. I accidentally deleted a conversation which had some important texts. The conversation were not “normal” text messages but iMessage texts. - blue texts not green.

I’ve tried going into the messages app and restored recently deleted but that’s only normal texts(green ones) not iMessage.

How can retrieve deleted iMessage conversations?

I updated to 18.2.1. Iheartradio has always opened when connected to CarPlay except for a recent occurrence. I ask Siri to open it because I’m driving. Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app called iheartradio.” Unm, there certainly is iheartradio installed.

I just traded from an Iphone 8 to an Iphone 15 plus today and it seems that the geniuses at Apple have gone backwards. Any new alarms I create default to a ridiculously low volume "radial" sound. My existing alarms from my old phone were set to custom music snippets at a decent volume. Why is there no option to set your default alarm sound one time rather than have to go in and change the radial sound to another every time you make an alarm? RIDICULOUS!

Loke the title says, has anyone here owned a Samsung Galaxy before and then switched to iPhone? I'm thinking about doing that, currently have the Galaxy S24 and thinking of getting the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but I want to see if anyone has made a similar change before and what it was like adapting to a phone and system you've not used before.

It’s been a constant struggle since I updated to the last update (18.2.1) where some of the icons inside the folders don’t appear when the folders is closed ( when I open it it reappears)in the first picture its whatsapp and the second is teams

It comes and goes with different apps each time , I thought it’s gonna be fixed but’s been about 5 weeks and no improvements, does someone else face this issue and did you get it fixed?

Idk whats going on all of a sudden with my 16 pro’s location, it changed the timezone from my country (Pakistan) to China and its showing that i’m at some airport in chinese region on all the apps. I have updated to lates software and also tried to on off all the lication settings and also force restart the phone. No vpn and no relay is turned on. Please helpp

Why do the pictures still come out so amazing on these old iPhones? (First slide edited, second is raw)

So I’m thinking about getting the iPhone 16 or 16+ whenever I get my iPhone 14 Pro paid off me and my friends thinking about getting it in the Barbie pink one with T-Mobile. Is it a good phone? Can you play games on it can you do stuff on it? Also, can you take pictures of stuff like northern lights and all of that or eclipses is good for travel because I’m in tourism and hospitality I just wanna know is the iPhone 16 or 16+ a good phone
