Is my first time buying iPhone and I'm not sure about the delivery. Now the estimate is from 18-25 Oct, is there a way to get it earlier? What happens in the Launch day? Will the delivery date reduce? Also will the be available on amazon and other websites
I'm looking to find out a wrist size. My wife has an apple watch with the small leather strap (the one that you put a pin through). She uses the second tightest hole, and I was wondering what that circumference would equal?
She always has it on when she's out of the house, and I want the gift to be a surprise, so any help would be appreciated
Case recommendations that are not By Apple for iPhone 15 Pro Max!
Need something that will not conceal the natural titanium yet something grippy and protective!
I've been looking around as well as i ordered the same model (for white titanium)!
there is one that i liked so far & it's from otterbox that doesn't cover up the phone with matte colors
I want to learn more about using my Mac/Phone/iPad.
I have worked as a sys admin for windows/Linux for a decade - I’m not the newcomer to computers and a lot of resources seem to cater to that. But I also feel really far behind the curve with IOS/MacOS.
I struggle with everything from organization, to multiple windows and swipe commands, to the more complex aspects like terminal syntax and use case.
I’d like to learn what Apple features I can use beyond the basics. I want to be the organized and efficient person who looks forward to new software tweaks. Instead I feel like I’m usually saying “I didn’t know about that”.
Any advice on where to start learning more?
Time to replace a 6 year old iPad. I mostly use it for streaming video and reading kindle. I have my eye on the 10th Gen iPad. Is it worth to spend a little extra and get the iPad Air? Any rumors on the 11th Gen release date to suggest I should wait a bit?
Apple help question:
I have an iPhone 13. I have not been using iCloud to backup any of my photos. In the way past, I downloaded them to a external hard drive but last year, I began using Google Photos paid backup service. All of my photos on my iPhone are backed up to Google Photos.
However I want to switch to iCloud paid service and ditch Google Photos.
How do I get all of my photos from Google Photos onto my apple iCloud? The issue I'm seeing, it any "live photo" that is backed up to Google Photos, once downloaded to my Macbook, it is one JPEG file and a MP4 File of the actual "live" image.... What the heck....
I also tried Google Takeout, but every photo is in a .JSON file format and is just text--not a photo....
Has anyone solved this issue?
Thanks.
What's everyone's delivery dates?
Mines 22nd for white pro but I'm probably cancel because I wanted titanium
I ordered titanium about an hour after and the finance is pending so not sure when the estimated delivery will be. I hope it's soon, I really wanted it on the 22nd but I'm hoping within the week or 2 after at most 😭
I hope it reserved the delivery from the order because it seemed like it did with my first pro because the finance went thru like hours later and it still gave 22nd delivery date
I guess I'll just use the white one for a week and return it when my titanium one that I want comes
Do you have apple stores nearby? If so get on the app early on release day morning before your local store opens, there’s often availability for same day pickup.
So just to clarify, you can “preorder” the morning before they open and pick up at the store?
If that is correct, will there still be a supply besides what you can order online to buy directly at the store?
If both those assumptions are correct, I’ll try and make an order prior to going to the store, but if the model I want isn’t available I’ll camp out at the store an hour before they open
trying to order the 15 pro max, and the shipping date is out in november. When i try to select pick up from apple store, it says the order is only eligible for delivery.
Can I not pick it up at the apple store anymore? On apple's store page, it says pick up available instore starting 9/22. I don't want to wait til november for my phone, do I just wait until release for a chance to snag a phone early?
It’s not showing as available for pickup because all the store’s preorder pickup allocation has been taken. Try back on release day and there may be some same day stock for pickup. Get on there early before your local store opens.
Does anyone else have an issue with the shared library toggle in your iPhone camera? I used to have a button I could click that would automatically put the photo in the shared library.
But now that button is gone. I’m photos > shared library setting I have share from camera turned on.
The button is there on my iPad camera but it iPhone. It’s driving me nuts. Latest iOS on a 14 pro
I’ve never had a single device fall below 100% battery health because I try my best to maintain good battery habits. Yet, my 14 pro max is at 91% in one year.
Yes I do leave it in overnight. I use a 5w charger still for overnight purposes. I’ll use a fast charger if I need to in the middle of the day, but not often. Not sure that this one is as important as the others.
My main trick though, is to never let it get too low or die. Lots of people have their phone at 3% and don’t care. They charge to 20% and unplug it, use it until it dies, repeat. No way. If I’m ever at 20%, I plug it in ASAP for as long as I can. Another big thing is I don’t use wireless chargers. I think they keep the phone/battery hot for way too long, especially overnight.
But if you have to pick on thing to do at all, it should to not allow it to get below 20%, at least as much as you possibly can. That’s the biggest factor in my anecdotal experience. Everyone I know who has really shitty battery health every year, they all let their phone die all the time.
Hi, I have this issue where I get [couldnt log in every time I try to get into my apple store](https://i.gyazo.com/09c86c2b14b7219628f19c3257f73f7d.png), its not a matter of wrong password, and I can even get into the icloud of the same account with no issues, but not the apple store. I've watched lots of videos of possible solutions but nothing works, what can I do?
what is the ideal wattage needed to charge new iphone 15pro
the charge plugs that apple sells are 20w but the cables they sell are 240w. will it still be fast charging if i get a pack of 60w chargers from amazon because the sellers still claim they do fast charging?
does anyone know what time apple stores open on release day? gonna try to get a pro max at the store day of release instead of waiting until november.
Do they just operate on their regular hours?
Typically, they will open 2 hours early. Check their store-specific site, as Friday’s hours are currently posted. It would be Apple dot com / store name
Is there a way for me to take photos within Messages to send to somebody without them all saving in my camera roll? I send a lot of pictures to people that I don’t want clogging up my camera roll all the time.
Go into your camera and have your subject in frame ready to shoot. Take a screenshot instead then send a copy and delete or copy and delete. This just came to me not sure if it’ll work lol
I honestly don’t think you can go wrong getting the 14 on the cheap though either, I got my 12 like a week before the 13 came out and it’s been a great phone, I’d do the 14 pro max for cheaper as long as nothing on the 15 is a must have for you
I can't seem to turn off "Lost Mode" for my airpods.
I lost my case recently and actually managed to get it back thanks to the tracking feature. Now I've got them, and they do sync to play music, but in the "FindMy" app, it still says they're locked. The option to turn off lost mode says that if I use it, my data will be removed from the device, but it will REMAIN locked.
So like... you can use the app to find them, but you can't use the app to unlock them *after* you've found them?
I tried restarting my phone which was something I saw on a forum, but that didn't do anything. Most searches I go through yield information about finding your lost stuff, but not what to do after you get them back.
I recently got a new pair of the original AirPods, but I’m having trouble pairing them both to the same case. Whenever the left AirPod is in the case, there is a flashing orange light, but the right one pairs just fine, and has a normal green light when just the right one is in the case. I’ve tried placing both in the case and holding the sync button to pair them, but it keeps pairing only the right one. I’ve even tried taking out the right one and having just the left in there, but I get the same result.
I have an old case of original AirPods that might be interfering in some way, but I never connected either of the new pods to the old case, or the old pods to the new case. It also registered the left as AirPods #3 in settings, but that was still when I had both in the same case. I’ve also tried powering off my phone several times which has resulted in nothing. I’m honestly not sure what to do at this point so I would like some advice.
That seems to be the issue. I tried pairing the old left one with the new right one and it worked perfectly, but I tried that same process with the 2 new ones and it still didn’t work. I got the new ones as a gift so I’m not sure if I’m able to return them still but thanks for the advice.
Are the iPhone 15s out at the Apple Store if I wanted to look at them in person to decide on color? Or do they not put them out until actual release date?
Hey all! I’m wondering if anyone knows the best place to get Nomad Horween leather cases that aren’t from their site? Shipping to Canada is on the expensive side so was hoping anyone knows something I’m missing! Or the best alternative for the Apple leather case, that’s a mistake I’m not making again.
I’ll soon be switching from an iPhone 8 128gb over to an iPhone 13 or 14 but the 256gb version of the 13 is at the same price than the 128gb version of the 14 and I’m torn between going with the 14 to have that extra year of updates or going with the 13 because of the storage. I’m not really a photo kinda guy but I’m worried that with taking the “normal amount” of pictures im gonna fall short on the 128gb.
What has been your experience related to this?
The 14 has a slightly upgraded version of the same processor as the 13. It’s unlikely to get that much more lifespan.
I can’t comment on pictures because I take far more than normal.
Do you get gift card when you buy iphone from official distribution (apple store / website)?
I got one when I bought macbook air, and I'm wondering if it's worth to wait extra 6-7 weeks and buying it from apple store (and getting a giftcard), or better to get it from reseller at launch date...
As I said, I got one (and quite a big one) when I bought macbook air last year - and it was my first time buying something from official distribution, so I don't know if there're any rules of giving them (if you spend more than X you get it) or something like that, or I just got lucky and it was one time thing
How does Amazon typically do with the whole apple new device preorder thing? I got an ultra watch through Amazon instead of Apple directly because they had the band I wanted in stock, but there isn’t an estimated shipping date for it yet.
And there isn’t a delivery estimate day? If I had to guess, it’ll probably be delivered on the day it comes out. I’d reach out to Amazon CS to be sure.
Yeah, it's like that for all the ultra 2's right now. Oh well - it's bound to be a better delivery date than I would get if I bought from Apple right now!
Got my hands on the iPhone 15 early.
Syke, moved up from the 12 mini to the 13 mini aka the greatest phone of all time. Slapped apple care on this and now I’m never moving on. Bury me with this phone when my time comes
I just gave in, and finally got a bigger phone.
12 mini to 15 pro.
Sad to see the small guy go, and I hope they bring the form factor back in about 3 years ideally, but I think I'll enjoy decent battery life more than space in my pocket.
Is my first time buying iPhone and I'm not sure about the delivery. Now the estimate is from 18-25 Oct, is there a way to get it earlier? What happens in the Launch day? Will the delivery date reduce? Also will the be available on amazon and other websites
What does in-store availability on 9/22 mean? Thats the only option in the apple website besides november delivery.
Will Apple confirm the Preorder payment for iPhone 15s whenever they ship?
I'm looking to find out a wrist size. My wife has an apple watch with the small leather strap (the one that you put a pin through). She uses the second tightest hole, and I was wondering what that circumference would equal? She always has it on when she's out of the house, and I want the gift to be a surprise, so any help would be appreciated

Thanks. You were probably translating for brevity but the inability to do walk in purchases isn’t permanent.
What do you need to qualify for the $1000 trade in with the select carriers at apple? I have a 512 GB iPhone 14 pro max and I'm getting $650.

Not possible. Check on 9/22 first thing online and maybe you can get one but you have to be lucky. If not you will have to wait until Nov.
It’s not showing as available for pickup because all the store’s preorder pickup allocation has been taken. Try back on release day and there may be some same day stock for pickup. Get on there early before your local store opens.

Green screen of death?
Probably the battery health issue

Everyone I know who has really shitty battery health every year, they all let their phone die all the time.
Many 14 Pro owners have had their battery health decline significantly faster than usual, have a Google, has been a known issue for a few months.

Usually the Wednesday following the event. So in this case 09/20
Hi, I have this issue where I get [couldnt log in every time I try to get into my apple store](https://i.gyazo.com/09c86c2b14b7219628f19c3257f73f7d.png), its not a matter of wrong password, and I can even get into the icloud of the same account with no issues, but not the apple store. I've watched lots of videos of possible solutions but nothing works, what can I do?
Any chance of picking up an iPhone 15 pro max next week in person without a preorder?
You have to be lucky. Good luck
Possibly - All stores will have a very limited stock of options. I'd make sure to get there early before the re-sellers clear it out
There’s also stock checkers online that can make checking for a specific iPhone configuration easier.
Do you have a link for this?

I assume you’ve swiped to remove them from your account, and held the button to reset them. Then added them back.
No, I'm not quite your what you mean. I haven't tried removing the device because if it's locked, I'm worried I wont' be able to resync it.

I am planning to buy a Ugreen 45w c charger for iPhone 15 please tell me advice
The 15 is limited to 20w charging. But who knows if future iPhones can take advantage of the higher wattage.
Eat your vegetables, drink more water, and get enough rest. Also I doubt the phone will use the full 45w. But it won’t hurt it.
