    Pre-order thread

    Who has managed to get their pre-order in? This is the first time I've tried to pre-order in a number of years but I got what I want! I normally just go into the store on day one and pick up my phone but this year I felt lucky! Anyone else have luck?

    New bedtime (Sleep/wake up) function doesn't sound alarm on phone

    This has been happening every day since I got iOS 14 (and even since updating to 14.1). I keep my phone and watch on silent (but ringer volume is set to maximum and is not altered by the side buttons) and previously on iOS 13 my phone alarm would sound when the 'Bedtime' function was set...

    What are you using double tap / triple tap on the back of your phone for?

    I haven't set mine up yet and i'm curious what folks have set theirs up to do? (For those who don't know, go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch , then scroll down to 'Back Tap'. You have two options, double tap and triple tap and they can be set to do different things.)

    Hue lights constantly disconnecting

    I currently am using a 2017 9.7" basic iPad that never leaves the house as a hub for my Hue lights. The problem is that because it's always in my bedroom, which is in one corner of my house, my Hue lights constantly register as 'unreachable' and it's driving me insane having to deal with this...

    Got my new Airpods Pro

    I've been using Anker Soundcore Liberty Air earbuds and they've been fine... once connected. The sound quality was ok but they weren't noise canceling and once you disconnected them, you had to re-pair them, and honestly it was such a PITA to do, I got fed up and just stopped using them. My...

    What's the criteria for 'featured forums'?

    So now iOS 13 and the iPhone 11 et al are out, I see we still have the featured forums as iPhone 7, X, XS, XS Max and iOS 12 (And Apps & Games, but I don't see that one as ever being not popular). Is it governed by how many people post in it daily, or are they 'featured' by choice of a...

    Do Not Disturb While Driving - a question

    I gather this new beta has implemented the new DNDWD feature. I have Apple Carplay in my Civic and as I spend a lot of time in my car, and receive and make telephone calls and text messages via Siri whilst my phone is connected and stowed away, can the DNDWD feature be permanently disabled so I...

    Do Not Disturb While Driving

    Firstly, nice feature name there, Apple! ;) I couldn't watch the keynote as I just can't get it to load where I am due to poor internet connection, so I am unsure if this question was addressed. I have Carplay in my Honda and I get a ton of texts and calls whilst driving that need to be...

    My S1 Apple Watch turns itself off with lots of battery remaining

    I got a series 0 (not series 1 as in the thread title) Apple Watch Sport this time last year. Yesterday morning, I took it off the charger at 100% and later that day it turned itself off for no apparent reason and would not turn back on. When I connected it to the charger and it got power, it...

    Hello folks Since moving back to the USA from the UK a couple of days ago, I have been unable to make Facetime calls to my good lady back in the UK, regardless of whether I am on wifi or cellular.

    Why wait...?

    I honestly don't understand this 'next-iteration chasing' that goes on. This is something that I have been questioning recently and I would genuinely like people's thoughts on this. Not on the specifics of waiting for a particular device but more the mindset behind the decision to do so. Take...

    2010 MacBook Pro not booting

    Hi folks Today my MacBook Pro crashed and I had to do a hard power off to get it to respond. Now it won't boot. It's tuck on the Apple logo and progress bar but the progress bar, stuck at about halfway, hadn't moved one pixel in an hour (I put a piece of tape on the screen to measure it). Not...
