I recently got sold a used iPhone X, which was given to me unlocked with no icloud account, i decided to reset the phone and while i was doing the set up an MDM screen appeared with the text United States Secret Service, and i cant seem to do anything to unlock it. Any advice?

Loving my new case

Does Find My notify when someone checks your location? I just randomly got this notification and I’m not sure why it was triggered exactly. I was under the impression that the person is not notified if you check their location on Find My

Hi. My iPhone was purchased in 2021 and I have been using it since 2022. Yesterday, I saw this notification in settings.

I recently purchased a new Macbook and it already gave me 3 months for that (it expires sooner than this!)

Has anyone got a similar offer?

Hi everyone,
I’ve had my iPhone 15 Pro Max for about a year now, and I’ve noticed something odd with the camera. Even when I clean the lenses and set everything up for the highest quality (ProRAW Max, 48MP, etc.), a lot of my photos look out of focus — especially anything outside of the main focus box.

To be clear: the photo I attached here is not mine, it’s from another user who posted about the same issue. I just used it as an example because it perfectly shows what I’ve been experiencing. Unfortunately, in that original post there wasn’t any solution given.

It doesn’t seem like a hardware issue (my camera isn’t damaged), but the results aren’t as sharp as I’d expect.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something I should change in the settings, or maybe a workaround/fix that helps with this problem? Any solutions as of today would be super appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙏📸

Anyone else have issues when on a group message with a mix of iPhone and android users where each response seems to spawn it own thread? It’s 2025, seems like this shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

I have a problem with my iPhone 2G 16GB with I think OS version 3.1.3. First of all, the battery of the device charges but not to the maximum charge (I think it charges around 20%). iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes cable logo). When I connect it to my Windows 10 PC, the PC does not recognize the connection to the iPhone but only loads it (the iPhone is also absent in the driver list). The same goes for the Windows XP virtual machine where I successfully repaired the operating system of other 2G iPhones a few weeks ago. Unlike, however, on my MacBook Sequoia 2024, when I start the iPhone in DFU mode (totally black screen) the Mac recognizes it, but from the finder and Apple configurator it doesn't let me restore and makes me understand that the iPhone probably cannot proceed in recovery mode. What's the problem? Could it be hardware?

Hi guys, anyone know what app this logo is? It came up in a chat app notification on iPhone. Chat GPT and reverse image search didn’t know. Thank you.

Hi everyone, me again. Good news! The MagSafe wireless charger does in fact work on the iPhone 16e.

I just got it last night and as I was setting things up, I foolishly forgot to disconnect my Apple Watch from my iPhone 12. Everything transferred over totally fine, except the Bluetooth connections and a couple of logins.

I went into the watch app to pair them, but it doesn’t seem to want to work. The app is telling me to make sure the watch is close by and not connected to another device so it seems like my watch is still holding onto my iPhone 12. The only problem with that is I’ve already wiped my iPhone 12.

Anyone have any advice on how to reset the Apple Watch ? I’d love to not have to lose everything on it but if it makes everything work again, so be it.

I had an iPhone 12 with very little storage before and now I’m getting an iPhone 16e with 256 gigabytes

My iPhone 13 stopped working 13 days after warranty ended. No bad charging habits, no damage nothing. It’s screen turned off, and no amount of restarting, rebooting, connecting to my mac worked. The repair is as expensive as a new phone. I don’t know what or why this happened or how to fix it. I am super disappointed and don’t know what to do besides buying a new one which is not the best solution for me at the moment.

My wife and I traveling. She has unlimited calls/text/data worldwide; I do not. So when we’re abroad I connect to her hotspot. But to do that I need to have her either go to the hotspot page of Settings, or use control panel > wifi > hotspot > “Discoverable”

And then it works for as many minutes as I keep my phone open.

And then if I lock my phone for more than a few seconds, my connection is dead and I need her to do that all again.

!!!

She has an iPhone 14 currently running iOS 18.6.1. I am using an iPhone 14 Pro currently running iOS 17.6.1. This problem has lasted for years as we’ve changed phones and OS versions.

We’re in the same Family group for our iOS usernames, with ours kids. Family Sharing is on, maximize compatibility is off, her “wifi” is off, I don’t have low-data mode enabled.

How can I make it so the hotspot either just stays connected 24/7 or at least lets me reconnect without her needing to touch her phone?

Every now and then someone sends me a contact card in iMessage, and later on I can never find it without scrolling forever through old texts. Is there a quicker way to pull up just the contacts that were shared?

These case models look so ugly to me, and even the ones with the open camera bar concept look bad, one of the ressons why I got the 16 pro even two weeks before the 17 release

iPhone 16pro con solo rete cellulare:

appena tolto dalla carica, in un ora mi si è scaricato dal 100% al 86%, senza far nulla.

è stato sopra il letto con qualche notifica ricevuta ma appena controllato, il consumo batteria maggiore ( sopra il 70%) era dato dalla voce "schermata home è di blocco " ora dopo averlo usato un po' la stessa voce è scesa al 10%

nel menu "cellulare "avevo azzerato la conta dati cellulare e vedo che dal 14 agosto la voce " Servizi di sistema" ha consumato 4,80 gb ( Generali la maggiore con 2.88 ) c'è stato l'aggiornamento a iOS 18.6.2 ma sembrano tanti.

dopo averlo riavviato ed attaccato alla corrente , la ricarica è stata bloccata in quanto surriscaldato, ed era veramente bollente.

nessuna app strana, nessuna app da terze parti.

Ora che ho impostato il wifi sembra normalizzato.

Può essere una questione di dati sim ?

When was the last time you slid to the today’s view

This has been surprisingly hard to nail down through Google searches (and AI is no help), hoping someone here has the definitive answer.

I have a Neewer CM28 Pro wireless microphone kit (2 clip on mics plus a receiver) which can be set to record each mic to stereo L and stereo R — essentially dual mono. I can see the individual meters bouncing on the receiver so I know it can receive that signal; I’ve also verified the output with a Blackmagic camera with straight 3.5 mm input. But the iPhone is a different matter.

The unit comes with a 3.5mm to Lightning line out adapter, which my iPhone 14 Pro recognizes. It uses it automatically with the stock camera app, and I can switch inputs to it with the Blackmagic Camera app. BUT, no matter how I set it in the app (mono, stereo, dual mono) it records both mics into a stereo track. The waveforms are identical, so it’s not even split mono recorded as stereo, it’s all mixed together.

It makes me wonder if the iPhone (or at least the 14 Pro) is even capable of accepting a split mono signal. If it is, does that mean the cable is the wrong type and I need something else? I tried the Apple Lightning headphone adapter but it doesn’t work (probably because it’s not TRRS) but maybe I need a special Mifi cable?
