I was a Samsung power user and I def had some smartphone addiction. Android was my comfort zone. I was deep into it and dependent with all the features and customizations it had.

Now that I switched to iPhone, things have become simpler, and it’s like I turned into a ‘casual’ smartphone user. Idk how to explain it in detail, but it’s like I found ‘peace’ lol. I don’t tinker my phone that much anymore. I’m satisfied and at ease with everything.

One thing that I super love and appreciate with iPhone rn tho, is the True Tone and Headphone Safety features. It’s good for my eyes and ears. Android kinda has similar features but it’s not as advanced nor automated as iPhone like it can change the screen tone real time and detect the current decibel real time. I think my eyes and ears suffered a bit with my Android use. It’s also because of my phone addiction too though. Entirely my fault.

That’s all. Loving my iPhone experience so far!

MY GF was out with some friends and she said some guy approached her in a friendly manner, kind of like he was drunk, and asked for a high-five. He then tried to come in close for a hug, but my GF shut him down.

Then about 45 minutes later, her phone began showing a message saying that the phone was stolen and her FaceID wasn't working. Luckily, the Apple Store was a few minutes away and they confirmed there was a hack, which basically screwed up the phone. They were able to do a reset and she got a notice from her bank that there was Zelle transaction for $1100. She got in touch with them to file a dispute and her phone is back up and running, but wondered if anyone heard about a similar kind of hack.

I’m sure people have said the same thing about MagSafe but man is it my favorite thing since upgrading from my iPhone 8 Plus! I can mount my phone in the car with out looking, I always know where my charger is at night and I don’t have to fiddle around trying to plug it in!

Hi everyone!

So, as of an hour ago, I have been robbed at gunpoint. They made me unlock my iPhone and then give it to them. What can I do in order to protect my data?

I have already marked my phone as lost, however, I'm not sure how that is going to work considering that they had the phone unlocked already, and therefore might have been able to access my personal data. I am not really concerned with getting my phone back, but rather am concerned with them using my personal data in order to extortion my family members. I live in a third world country were organized crime is rampant, and therefore this could be really threatening for me.

Thanks in advance!

Original Title: why does the weather app still not show temp without clicking it? clock and calendar do it so it can be done. they made dumb widgets but the smallest one is the size of 4 icons. they need to make it the widget the size of an icon or just update the weather app already. ios most annoying thing.

I'm absolutely livid and at my wit's end here. My Apple ID was banned out of the blue, and the so-called "senior advisor" from Apple has been downright unhelpful. They claim it's due to "sending suspicious messages," which is absurd—I don't even use iMessage. Their vague accusations have left me in the lurch.

I'm racking my brain here because the only thing I can think of is my daily use of a VPN, but it seems extreme for that to cause a ban. Could using a VPN daily be to blame? Since when does protecting your privacy lead to an account ban? It's outrageous! My Apple ID is a lifeline, with countless important accounts linked to it. And now, without any legitimate justification or even a warning, Apple's heavy-handed approach has cut off my access. No discussion, no appeal, nothing!

What could be other possible reasons for this? Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm looking for any steps I can take because I have numerous accounts tied to my Apple ID, and it's incredibly inconvenient to have it banned without a proper explanation or a chance to secure my data.

Some updates:

After making some noise and pushing for answers, I was finally put in touch with an even more senior advisor at Apple. Their advice? Write a formal complaint letter.

They've provided me with a mailing address to send a detailed grievance. It seems old school, but if it can help rectify this ridiculous situation, I'm all for it. I'm sharing this to let you know that there might be a sliver of hope if you find yourself in a similar predicament.

Now I feel lucky that I've never used Apple's Keychain or iCloud services to store my personal passwords and photos. If your digital treasures matter to you, you should also use services that can easily diversify your backups.

Some new thoughts:

I later received an email from Apple saying, "Your account was closed in accordance with the iCloud Terms and Conditions. I’m unable to provide further information about this case. " This contradicts what the advisor hinted at on the call (suspicious messages). I barely use iCloud, enabled EE2E and never used it for sharing or anything unusual. It appears even the support team is uncertain about the reason behind the deactivation as I am.

Many people asked me if I sent some messages that could be reported. I really don't use any Apple services for messaging. I use many other third-party platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram. None of them belongs to Apple.

Some other folks mentioned that my account might have been compromised due to a weak password. I'll admit it is possible, but part of the blame falls on Apple's frustrating policy that doesn't allow pasting into the password field for Apple ID. This essentially barred me from using a complex password generated from my password manager, forcing me to opt for something more memorable yet less secure. I did enable 2FA though.

Another user shared his ban experience. His whole family accounts were banned because his credit card couldn't be used. He tried to link another card 7-8 times which triggered the fraud detection system. I remembered that I also tried to restore a purchase which I bought from r/AppHookup for free previously, I guess somehow this made Apple feel suspicious (due to network issue or anything, idk).

What's really concerning is the unique nature of an Apple ID. Unlike most other IDs, it's tied to so many important digital assets like passwords, photos, documents, wallets and linked accounts. And because of Apple's closed ecosystem, backing up isn't so user-friendly. Being banned without a chance to appeal or rescue the data feels like a nightmare because of the sheer amount of personal data at stake. Let's all stay aware of how we manage our digital lives and take steps to protect our assets.

I will keep this post updated!

My car was stolen a few days ago. Right after it was stolen they took the car to a nearby park and dumped out everything in the car including the air filter(?) floor mats, cargo liner etc. They even ripped out the wireless charging module for some reason. I’m thinking that they were looking for something, possibly the AirTag. I had already taken the beeper out of it. It was well hidden and they never ended up finding it. We were also able to find the car later and catch one of the thieves partially due to the AirTag which later updated its location.

Could the AirTag have alerted them that it’s following them even without it updating its location on my end on find my? I can’t figure out why they were searching the car if it didn’t alert them about it?

If they removed all old models, I would think that they only sell the newest to earn money. But iPhone 14 & 14 Plus are still on sale. Even 13 is. What is it about then? Something went wrong with that specific model?
