My 6 has a weird discolored spot on the screen in a line where I typically swipe to scroll web pages. It doesn't bother me much but I've never had one do that before

My iPhone 6 seems to make a very quiet buzzing noise when I scroll or make long touches to the screen. The screen has a dark spot/line that is about 1/3 of the length of the screen so I think something is obviously wrong with it. The buzzing is new though. I also have the off center front camera. I am out of warranty so I assume it is pretty unlikely to get this fixed by Apple?

How much more difficult is the battery replacement on the 6 than the 5?

I just did it and it really wasn't bad other than all of the microscopic screws.

Still have a bit of a dark spot on the screen but it is not nearly as pronounced as it was so hopefully that will dissipate.

I deleted a bunch of un-needed photos from Photos on my Mac recently - about 9,000 of them. Now every time I plug my phone in it shows that there are 9.000ish photos available to import, so evidently those photos are still living on my phone somewhere. They don't show up in Recently Deleted, though. Is there any way to fix that?

I decided to try out "Mojo Installer" which is a jailbreak alternative, to install an emulator so I could play some old games. It is installed using the "date trick" to set up the app through an expired certificate. I think it hosed something on my phone though- my phone is HOT all the time and Omnistat shows both processors pegged at 100%. I removed the profiles that I set up for Mojo and removed its app and this continued. I did a backup and restore and it still seems to be doing the same thing. Would my next bet be to just set up as a new phone? Im going to give it a day to see if it stops. I have been in an area with lovely cell coverage and lovely wifi so maybe that was part of it?

I might, I usually just backup to iCloud. It wasn't an actual jailbreak though, just an app install.

It seems to be OK this morning- looks like Photos was uploading some photos to iCloud which I guess was the issue.

For some reason Siri has decided that I am both my own mom and dad. I've deleted the relationships from their contacts and recreated them, but if I say "call my dad" it asks which phone number for my name to call.

Weird

I have about 18,000 photos that are stored locally on my phone that I would like to wipe out. I have turned off iCloud photo library and Photo Stream, and the photos are still on my phone. I have tried going through and selecting them to delete them but they will not delete - the delete dialog box pops up and I confirm to delete them, but they don't actually delete.

Any ideas wtf I should do? This is taking up a large amount of space on my phone and I think it's due to an iCloud glitch.

Do you have a Mac? Connect the phone, load Imagr Capture, select all the images, and hit delete. Might be able to do something the phone isn't able to by itself.

The delete button goes away when I click on any of the photos in Image Capture.

They show up in Photos on the Mac as if I can import them, so I am doing that and clicked to delete them after the import. We'll see if that does the trick.

When I ordered and signed up for the upgrade program it didn't say anything about trading my phone in. So I guess I am free to sell it once my 7+ comes in.

If you don't trade your old phone back in you'll have to pay off the remainder of the cost (at least 12 payments).

I am a new enrollment in the program.

Edit: just saw the other post saying there was no requirement to trade in if you newly signed up. So yep this 6 will go on Craigslist or SA mart once my new phone comes in

I have a bunch of 6/6s cases that I won't need anymore. Was wondering if there was any interest, if so I will post a sale thread. I have an Apple hump case, a Mophine Juice Pack 120, a black Apple leather case, a red Apple leather case, a black Lifeproof and some other random ones.

Well you guys convinced me and I bought a saddle brown case for my 7+. Phone hasn't shipped yet but with my kid being delivered Monday I figured I wouldn't get out to the Apple Store any time soon. Man that is some nice looking leather. It really looks like it is a different leather from the other cases.

Are there any comparable iPhone docks that fit a 6+ with the Apple leather case that are cheaper than the $40 Apple dock, or should I just bite the bullet and buy the official one?

I got a knockoff one on Amazon that is pretty much identical to the apple dock for like $13

I bought some Solo3's in flat black at Best Buy on Saturday and with Amazon price match they were $159 plus tax. They sound better than my old Studio wired Beats and the W1 features are cool.

I also have some Powerbeats 2 that I got at an overstock store for $50 which I like quite a bit. I am neither a gangsta or thug.

Beats x seem like the better option (including sound), but the power beats 3 have the ear hooks

Anyone have any issue with the beats x falling out at all? At the gym? When running? A review I saw said they seal better in your ear than the PB3 and block more ambient noise.

The PB3 are $150 normally in black, other colors are $200. Black is $130, and the others I think are $160. The x are $150 normally in any color and $120. Still not sure if this is a sale or just new price. The x using a lighting cable to charge is pretty dope

so yeah prob just gonna get those thanks for reading

I actually have problems with my PowerBeats falling out but I have learned that I have weird shaped ears.

That’s the question I have. The clips keep them on my ears and I’ve never had them come even close to falling out.

I have glasses so maybe that’s the problem? I have to tuck the clip under my glasses to get them to even go in my ears.

I went ahead and ordered the AirPods. Is the fit exactly the same as the EarPods? I had an old pair that I cut the cords off of and walked around for a while with them in and they were fine.

I've owned a lot of iPhones and dropped a lot of iPhones but today I dropped mine in just the right way for the screen to crack. I guess it's time to finally find out how much it costs to repair...

Edit: as a teacher I'm always amazed how many of my students have cracked smartphone screens. Some of them are smashed so bad I don't know how the touchscreen functions or how they read it and I wonder how it got that way. If dropping mine directly on its corner causes a minor crack, what the hell did they do? Throw it at the ground as hard as they could? Smash it with a rock like a caveman?

My younger brother broke his multiple times by being a dumb emotional teen and throwing it at the wall/ground and/or being drunk and dropping it off high places or down stairs. Every time he got a new phone we would place bets how long it would last before his screen broke. My dad enabled it by continuing to pay for new screens or new phones.

I did break my old Palm Treo by throwing it but it was the antenna that broke. I have never broken a glass screen on a phone and accept that by saying this I will likely break my screen within the hour.

I feel like all of the constant rumors, leaks, and speculation have almost completely killed my interest in the iPhone 8. I'm sick of hearing about it at this point. I have a 7+ now and I'm on the upgrade program so I'm sure I will end up getting one anyway because new shiny, but I'm more ready for everyone to just shut up about it.
