After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
If you are buying outright, it probably makes the most sense to buy from Apple. However, I'm a huge fan of purchasing from Best Buy. They run great deals on Apple products (one of the few) when a device is on a payment plan.
I think its still absolutely a great purchase. The 8 will come with the usual bevy of shortages making it very frustrating to obtain. Apple products also produce some pretty good longevity, so the purchase of a 7/+ should last you for a while into your contract cycle while still being very...
Hi njgirl_toNC!
I'll try to loop in some of my team members on this one! Its a constant point of discussion in our general chat on Slack :).
I think you'll hear some good info! Stay tuned!
Hi ksemi!
Unfortunately, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if its showing blank there isn't a way to make it reappear. Are your settings properly turned on, and have you updated to the most recent version of iOS? I know early on in iOS 10 there were some issues with the frequent...
Hi johnmed3!
Thanks for the tip!
For anyone wondering out there, this trick is usable for any iOS device using Touch ID that has been upgraded to iOS 10 (or higher). Apple implemented a change to this process for iOS 10 to get better utilization out of the widgets section. The goal would be...
Has to be Nintendo 64 for me! I remember the exact Christmas I got it. I opened up the GoldenEye box BEFORE the console, and my eyes lit up like never before. I scrambled to find the bigger gift that had the console inside. Played that system like I've never played any other.
Hi Jasmine,
Sorry to hear about the issue! However, given the iPhone 6 Plus lack of water resistance i'm not overly surprised you are experiencing some abnormal behavior. Beyond some heating issues, is the device functioning as normal? Do you know how to check your phone for water damage...
I felt same way about the SE. Love it, but felt like I needed an upgraded. Treated myself to the 7 yesterday. Very happy thus far and somewhat kept the form factor with the smaller of the 2 choices!
Not crazy! I think as phonesumers (yes I made that up) we have become accustomed to accepting our "device" as old/dated after a 6 month cycle. I would argue you could buy an iPhone 6 right now and use it as a daily driver without issue. Apple does an incredible job updating devices while...
It absolutely was an app at one time! Game Center also allows progress to be stored and used on other iOS devices when you log in so you always have your items, scores, etc.
Hi Lucy!
What a wonderful question!
Game Center for the longest time was a standalone app that players could reference to see achievements, friends, etc...With the release of iOS 10 the functionality changed greatly. This functions much more like as service now instead of a standalone...
Hello!
Unfortunately, you are having trouble finding this device color because it was not produced by Apple. The Mini 4 was released in Space Gray, Silver, & Gold (please see source below- and yes i'm calling wikipedia a source :rotfl:)

There are...
As a side note my Fitbit blaze continues to pair fine however I did have to re pair my car Bluetooth since the update. Thought I'd pass along my own experiences!
Hi CPR- a took a peak over at Apple's official forums and yes, I see the stability you and many others are talking about since the most recent update. I'll keep my eyes out and see if anyone has suggestions beyond what we are seeing here. So far the top 3 have been:
1. Forgot and repair on the...
Hi Blankford13!
From my understanding, yes you can. However, there are some factors you need to consider. IE, does your number have remaining payments on a device left? I don't believe they can transfer those to a prepaid account so you would be billed for the ETF (they handle prepaid...
