    iPhone 13.1.3 internal photo editor - size of horizontal preview reduced for no apparent reason

    At the recommendation of Apple, I updated my phone from 12.1.4 to 13.1.2, then shortly after that to 13.1.3. As I had been using the internal photo editor more and more with 12.1.4, I wished to continue using it with 13.1.3. However, I noticed that Apple decreased the size of the preview image...

    iPhone Bluetooth calls auto transfer to speaker phone (iPhone 7 / 13.1.2)

    When I'm connected to Bluetooth in my car, my calls automatically get routed to the iPhone's speaker phone, not to Bluetooth. To get it to go to Bluetooth, I have to press one of the three white bars on the phone which says Bluetooth. For example, while connected to Bluetooth, I say "Hey SIRI...

    Why do we get different file size & dimensions depending on type of download method?

    I've stumbled across a very disconcerting bug with iCloud. If you are an iPhone user with iCloud backup, there are several ways to get a photo file from your iPhone to a laptop computer. As I recently started using iCloud, I thought I'd download a few of my photos just to ensure that I could...

    I recently got my first smart phone -it's an iPhone 7 (yes, I was a flip phone type of guy for many years). One of the features I like most about it is the panorama photo mode, which hasn't been present on any DSLR I've ever had. But about half of the photos I shoot with it have a noticeable...
