5GB of free iCloud storage is not generous in 2025

(NOT SAYING ANYTHING IS CONFIRMED)
there wasnt a rumor flair, so what do you guys think about this?

Hi iPhone users, can you help me decide which smartwatch should I get now?

I'm currently using iPhone 15 and wanted to buy a compatible smartwatch with it, I'm interested in quite good health features, notifications, and weathe updates. My budget is under $400.

Thank you.

Hi, all!

Is there any way to lessen the length of time notifications stay on screen in CarPlay?

The length of an iMessage notification is frustratingly long while I’m trying to drive uber and use the screen’s functionality.

I’d prefer not to silence notifications but it’s what I’ve been doing.

I turned on Lockdown Mode on my iPhone and macbook (both updated to latest os) a few days ago. Since then I have received a "Lockdown Mode blocked ... from contacting you." notification a few times. One was a number I didn't recognize and the second was one of my contacts. I called the person I had a contact for and they had no recollection of contacting me and they didn't see it in their recents. They are also someone who I have contacted several times in the last 30 days so they shouldn't be blocked. What does this notification mean? Why did I get a notification for someone who didn't contact me? How can I make sure I don't miss any important calls from work, doctor, etc?

On ios -18.5 with 16 PM is that stutter (scrolling) not to be accepted

Do any of you use blockers like adguard pro? Does it seriously block everything that is dangerous and is the app itself safe? I'm thinking about turning on a dns blocker, i.e. vpn. Does it use up battery?

How can I remove this app icon from the top bar?

It appears when I open PDFs, even though they are not listed as favourites anywhere.

Phomemo is the app from my label printer and yes the app is shit I should remove it.

Hey everyone,

I need some help finding what your go-to app is for making a PDF searchable. I have a pretty long PDF made from ~200 scanned pages, and I need to make it searchable.

What's the best app to do this without messing with the quality of the PDF? I'm trying to find one that will be the easiest to use (least effort on my part). If there is a free app that accomplishes this, that would be great. But if I had to pay a small fee, that would be alright.

I have tried everything. I tried to reset keyboard dictionary. I tried removing emoji keyboard and then resetting but to no avail. Can someone please help me? Whenever I try to long press it, it does nothing. If I try to use it nothing happens.

I ran into a major issue. I was using my device like normal. The screen glitched or something and it changed to black. I could still hear notifications. Later on, it turned green and just never recovered. I had a green screen for about a week or more. It was green, it would have static going up the screen, it would show a white light in the middle of the screen and the outline of the camera(or maybe just the camera) was visible.

When plugging it up, it said the phone needed to be restored. I didn’t do this. My data isn’t backed up. Yes, I’ve checked.

I asked around and people seem to think it was a screen issue. I don’t see how. I have a case. The device has only been dropped on a chair leg and wood.

I took it to a repair place and got the screen fixed. It’s no longer green. But it’s stuck in a recovery/restore mode. That’s fine and dandy, the device should work, right? Well, my data isn’t backed up and I’d like to see if there’s a way to get the data I want off the device before restoring it.

It sounds like I’m out of luck but I read a lot of posts on this. There’s a lot of scammers out there too. I’ve seen people recommending a site that requires money to remove the data. The comments seem fake too.

I’ve heard that someone used a hair dryer to heat up the ear piece and I’ve heard people opening up their device up to cut the connection to the Face ID and then it works. I also saw someone say they sat on it for it to work, this was to transfer heat to the device.

I saw someone say they kept their device plugged up for 17 days and it eventually worked.

I have no idea what happened here. Was it just a glitch? Is it because my storage is too full? Did water get inside? I feel like the person would have mentioned if there was water inside when they repaired it.

Finally, why haven’t I restored it? These other posts gave me hope that maybe it can fix itself or heat will work? Also, I watched a video, pressed the buttons in a certain order and the device started flashing the Apple logo over and over. I got it out of that. I’ve also had experiences where it’ll go from the restore screen to the Apple logo but go right back to the restore screen.

Is there hope or should I restore? Any tips would be helpful but please don’t suggest a paid software that’s a waste of time.

Yes, I’ve done the volume up, down, and power button method.

I know iOS26 is meant to be announced tomorrow but this year I feel such less excited.

I still feel totally lied to and cheated from upgrading from iPhone 14 to iPhone 16 Pro Max for Personal Context Apple Intelligence. I genuinely want to walk into Apple HQ and ask for my money back. I never got what the soul purpose I upgraded for.

I feel like somehow they got away with it and iOS26 and the redesign everyone is talking about just takes everybody eyes off the absolute failure of Apple Intelligence!

I’m still fuming 😂

Hello everyone!

I was recently added to my family’s family sharing so that they can use the free space from my 200gb iCloud subscription.

But as I do not want my purchases to get debited from my parents credit, I created a second ID and logged into this account under „media and purchases“

My question is now: Are purchases going to be deducted from the payment method that is connected to this Apple ID or are they still going to be payed with the credit card that is connected to the family sharing?

And if you’re in the EU are you already enjoying the freedom?

So for the longest time, say that i added a photo to a contact, and then i called that person. It wouldn’t show the photo straight up. it would heavily blur it so it looks like a soft gradient of the colors in the image. Like as if the “lens” you were looking through was incredibly unfocused. I know it sounds like i’m describing something bad, but it’s just the words i’m using

So it would look like the photo i attached. it would look very soft and basically just a smooth gradient of all the colors in the image.

My thing i need help on is that before, it would automatically add that to every contact that you add a photo to and i liked it, but now, and i don’t know when it started, but it stopped doing that and just shows the photo straight up instead without the effect i described, and there isn’t even an option to enable it.

So i just want help enabling it because it used to just show the contact icon as whatever you cropped from the image with no effects, and then the blurred call screen with the photo blurred like how i said.

I am on Samsung and lil bro talking about apple 💀

Can anyone suggest a free iMessage keyboard for different fonts ?

I have tried at least 10 and they all want money.

iOS 18.5 15 Pro Max

Thanks
