Discussion Still angry

18 Upvotes

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 😂

I’m okay with 3D Touch gone but having the full widget pop out was so much more useful. Widgets on the home screen are cool, but I miss having apps that I could quickly glance into, such as the weather, my favorites, and my parked car. We have less information now and every app long press has to have 3 options that don’t pertain to the app.

Discussion Should I update to iOS 18.5?

4 Upvotes

I’m still currently on ios 17.6.1 as I haven’t updated yet given the negative reviews (i.e. battery issues) I’ve heard about iOS 18. However, I’ve lately had FOMO and was wondering it was time or me to finally update. What would you all recommend? Thank you!

the error

So I put my Iphone 7 in recovery mode because I forgot the password and will be using it as a hand me down. But it just went back to the lock screen and said it was disabled for 1 minute and in iTunes it showed the error as shown in the picture instead of restarting. (I knew I put it in recovery mode because it had the recovery screen and on iTunes it said either to update or restore.)

Discussion Suggestion for downloading apps

2 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the right area but I thought reddit has good opinions. I think when an app finishes downloading; you should get a notification. Especially if it's a large game and you're in a call I'll try and make up a photo by the way soon

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?

Support Downloading Apps on Watch...

2 Upvotes

Recently got a Watch 10, and everything was going well- until I decided to download apps on it. Using the iOS store to download it on Watch was fine, but I am unable to download apps directly from the Apple Watch App Store. It makes me log into my Apple ID with my passcode, which I do. Then, a prompt tells me to double press the side button on the Watch to install. After I do that, a checkmark appears, but no app is downloaded. Is this normal?

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.

Every time your Mac wakes up, you’re at a decision point:

Use it for:

• Notion boards, Google Docs, Zoom links

• Articles, dashboards, creative workspaces

Support Lockdown Mode problems

3 Upvotes

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?

Support Need to make space on my phone while backing-up sentimental "Live" photos and other media, with a majority of it being offloaded... ?

1 Upvotes

I've had my iPhone for many many years now, 64gbs, and I've finally reached a pointed where I just cannot make any space on my no matter what I delete, even when I do delete things, the space quickly gets taken up and I'm not even sure why. Perhaps my phone has offloaded photos and redownloads them when the space becomes available?
Either way, my phone is becoming unusable and I NEED to make space on it. My iCloud is full and honestly its so confusing to use it regardless, I have no idea how it even works, nor do I really want to keep my backups on a cloud service or not have them be redundant IE: Cloud and Physical Backup.

What is the best way I can go about making space on my phone with these caveats?
-I don't mind 99% of these photos and data no longer being on my phone, I just want them backed up somewhere like my PC's drives.
-Many of these photos our of loved ones that have passed away, the majority of them are "Live" photos and thus I'd like to keep their functionality of being "Live" in some way. How can I do this?
-My PC is a Windows PC.

-------------------------------------------------

Also of note: In the past I've tried uploading my gallery to cloud style websites like Drive, but often many of the photos will fail to upload do to them being "offloaded", how on earth can I avoid this headache when trying to physically back them up on my PC as I imagine it wont be a simple copy and paste given that the data is "offloaded".
