My battery health is 84% but I’m starting to have to janitor usage if I know I’m gonna be out for the entire day so I’d like to just get the battery replaced now. Do Apple Stores do same day battery swap replacements?

I don’t have a car so I kinda need my phone for Uber/bus pass.

Use the apple support app to make an appointment

After moving to a new iPhone (12 to 15, using the direct connection thing to move everything over) I don't have my text message history. Some stuff is there but the literal years of texts I've had all this time don't seem to be. For some reason Messages wasn't enabled in the iCloud settings, so now I'm extremely paranoid I just lost all those old texts since I wiped the old 12 already. iCloud is saying there's 20GB of data for messages so hopefully it'll just appear eventually?

iMessage sync was always disabled by default, welp

the Magic Mouse is proof that Apple does the bare minimum:

the Magic Mouse aluminum housing has remained unchanged since 2009

the charging port on the bottom is where the AA battery slot was on the original generation

It’s like a lot of Apple stuff such as HomeKit. Seemingly designed by people who have not and will never use it.

I assume everyone using Apple Music doesn’t have a Mac? I found it truly unusable because almost every time I added an album to my library it would show up duplicated in Music.app on the Mac.

Spotify became unusable when it started auto-playing some random track on startup, inevitably blasting music through the office before my headphones had finished connecting to my phone.

Tidal is good for now, even though I’m increasingly feeling like an out-of-touch old man for what I think are incredibly basic requirements :corsair:

So what the heck is up with live sports scores in the dynamic island or Lock Screen? I never had them show up at all until the Cavs/Warriors game just randomly started showing the live score. From a quick google, it seems that if it’ll show teams you follow in News, even though the scores are provided by the Apple TV app.

I follow a handful of teams, including Ohio State, who was playing prior to the Cavs game, but nothing has ever shown up before.

I think they call this live activities

This is what the lady on the phone told me it would cost for an iPhone 14 pro max screen replacement. This is other country money so probably 700?

I do not want a new screen I want iOS 16 or at least one that let's me charge my phone once again by plugging it in. Barring that I want a new freaking phone but they are not very cooperative

Sounds like your phone is out of date, I’d restore and update

900 Cad which is ~650 usd? I donno dude it's what the lady on the phone told me, a 1400 dollar hold on cc to get a loaner and 900 to fix the screen.

I am sitting here looking at a turned off phone that's plugged in, and will be fully charged when I turn it on, so no they don't.

Like do a factory reset and download the updates again, or use the iTunes on computer to do it?

Edit: I will follow the instructions here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252 when I get to a computer with iTunes, thanks man

Yep, I use a Mac though so I use configurator if I’m wiping something since you can very easily restore and update.

Great point.

Backup to a connected computer of any sort unfortunately sounds nice, but wouldn’t be great since a lot of people just do not have a computer anymore (choice or affordability).

It has to be choice, computers are basically free now.

Thinking of the nightmare iTunes is on our corporate laptops, just straight up broken as poo poo. We are 99%+ windows tho

Insert all the dumb poo poo for the US on lack of social safety net and just everything on not looking out for poor people.
