    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Cannot get picture in picture to work no matter what I try on my iPhone 8, it should work with Youtube and I read that the 8 is compatible so I don’t know what’s going on

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Something is going on, I went from 98% battery health on August 1 to 94% in a few weeks. Even with my iPhone 7 it took well over a year to hit that low and to drop 5% in a couple of few weeks, I’ve never experienced that. Also since his latest iOS update I’ve had to charge my phone three times...

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    So nine months of having this phone 8 and I’m pretty happy with the battery health it’s 98%. Is that pretty good? I sometimes have to charge a couple or a few times a day and I usually let it go down to about 40 or 50% and then bring it up to about 95 or 100. I try not to use the Belkin...

    Absolutely no charging issues with the 6 foot official Apple charging cable. That had to be the problem all along.

    Anyone experiencing weird things with their 8s?

    Every once in a while I notice I do not get notifications for any of my emails, so I check on the notifications settings and the sound is checked off for some reason. This happens usually after an iOS update and it is the first thing I look at but I’ve had it once a week now usually for at least...

    As long as there were no charging issues when those Apple cables were brand new because I’m typically not hard on my cables, so I’m hoping mine will last but I’m just tired of the cutting and cutting out when it comes to charging. The Belkin is a very heavy gauge cable and I thought it would be...

    OK so I still had issues with the brand new 9 foot Belkin charging cable and another braided cable. The charging was intermittent and it would cut in and out and it was pretty bad the last little while. The software reinstall only worked for about three or four days I can’t explain that. So...

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Ok I figured it out. I had to log onto my bank app and from there you can add the card to apple wallet and PRESDO! I’m all done setting up now and I noticed a little bonus of about 4 gigs of space back on the phone, probably because a few apps got bloated after 5 months of use! Thanks for the...

    Everything is restored now from the iCloud install except my debit card in apple wallet. Does this normally take longer to restore? I had it checked off on iCloud and it did put back a few lesser important cards but the main bank card is the one. I phoned the bank yesterday and they said...

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Well I did it I reinstalled everything from scratch using iCloud that didn’t do the trick so I took it to a local place and they professionally wiped it and reinstalled it and that didn’t stop the battery for making a slight sizzling sound when it charges or even when it’s not charging, but the...

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    OK I contacted Apple support and the girl I talked to never heard of this ever happening before and then they had to put me through to a supervisor and they said it sounds like it might be a software glitch so I’m going to wipe the phone clean and then reinstall everything later today by iCloud...

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Does anyone else notice a very faint sizzling crackling popping sound just barely audible when you put your ear right against the back of your iPhone near the charging point when it’s charging? I have to know if this is normal otherwise I’m not gonna be able to trust this thing to burn the house...

    No Apple care. But I’m thinking about taking it to a local repair place that only uses Apple certified parts.

    Bought a new iPhone 8 yesterday

    Well Patience is growing short with this phone unfortunately after five months only, when the phone is charging and over 75% the battery charging bing sound plays several times and it cuts out from charging for a few seconds. Sometimes it makes the sound but doesn’t cut out. I have tried...

    An  a day... a place to share a thought of the day -  related, of course!

    My dad is 85 years old and he went from an iPad Pro 12.9 2015 model with a home button to a new iPad Pro in the last year and if he can do it in a short couple of days for the transition then I’m sure your brother will be just fine.

    An  a day... a place to share a thought of the day -  related, of course!

    I just watched one of the major YouTube reviewers for iOS related subject saying that Ios 14 will not be a major changes update and I’m glad because I just bought a brand new iPhone 8 and I don’t want it to be bogged down or slow down for quite a while yet. The reviewer was saying it’s sad...

    Is there some particular reason why when you delete emails some of them go into archive and then I have to delete everything twice? How do you put an end to that when I trash something I want to go in the garbage and that’s it!

    Who do you trust "more" with your data - Apple or Google?

    Without a doubt, Guardian. I’ve been using it for three months on the paid version, you wouldn’t believe what it blocks, and there is no login and it does not slow down apps at all. I’ve tried Bit Defender and a couple others before Guardian. You can also ask questions on Twitter guardian and...
