Apple Intelligence taking space without turning it on even for once !

Never turned on Apple Intelligence in my new iPhone 17 Pro Max. But it’s taking space in my phone! Any advice/solution to get rid of this space reservation? Anyone else facing similar issues?

Any easy method of iPhone battery recalibration ?

I have a new iPhone 17PM with 15 cycles of usage and been charging with 20-80 rule. after charging my phone Sometimes when i turn off the device and turn it back on i see the phone got charged to 83/82/85 as it shows. Which leads me to thinking that iOS doesn’t know the battery capacity of this new device properly.

How can i do it in an easy way?
I tried getting below 20% like 12-15% and charging back to 100% but it didn’t help. Any helpful advice or methods will be appreciated. Thanks.

iPhone 17 pro max on iOS 26.5.1

Mixed usage of calls socials and video calls, no gaming. It’s pretty nice to use tbh.

I just wish apple don’t screw anything up in coming weeks in iOS 26 stable releases.

The Shortcuts app and Confusion it brings !

As much as love using it making small shortcuts of toggles of baked in the settings of ios. Every time i try to make anything advanced or try to automate anything i feel like i stepped into a programming language app or something and end up either closing it or sometimes try to google it if something like that made by some kind user.

I appreciate iOS mostly for the simplicity and usability for the users. If they did something with shortcuts and simplify using it that’d be really nice. (And im not talking about baking chatgpt or siri in that like they’re trying to do in iOS 27).

Samsung did something like this quite a few years ago it’s called “routine” or something like that. Although I didn’t use that much but their approach was a bit friendlier and easy to understand how things should be done.

What’s a better way to use Meta apps in iOS?

Meta apps like Facebook (which i mainly use) instagram are a few of the poorest optimized apps in all mainstream social apps. From abnormal power drain, unusual cache accumulation, getting abnormally hot randomly to every sort other issues. For now i just restrained myself from using any of these two in my iPhone 17PM. And it’s not good in android as well. But they offer facebook lite (but nothing like that for instagram) as an alternative option which is quite awesome and properly optimized. But nothing like that exists in iOS. Since both of these apps doesn’t come with a clear cache button. All we can do is disabling autoplay and implement data saver to in facebook and instagram don’t offer this much. Should i just keep it away from my device or there’s a better way to use these apps?

I know it’s a bit of a different issue that gets discussed less in this sub but this is what I’ve observed from owning an iPhone for last 2 years. TIA.

Got a placeholder case for summers.

Still looking for a good case.
Got this cheap aliexpress case which works okay for now on my 17PM and the ventilated back gives some peace of mind for the summer heat.

Day 4 of iOS 26.5.1 on my iPhone 17 Pro Max.

It’s a day off. Nothing heavy. No camera usage or gaming. Only socials and purely on wifi. It’s just how i use my phone and i have a pc for gaming and all. So socials are mostly scrolled on my phones. Sharing my usage for people who cares. Your mileage may vary.

Need Good grip cases without the bulk for 17PM

Been using 17PM for a week now and really need some good suggestions on good grip cases in the budget range.

Preferably from Spigen, ESR, Ringke, brands that’s widely available in asia. Don’t need anything heavy on protection as they make phones quite bulky.

Need something decently grippy thats good for daily to day usage and okay front back protection without adding much weight.

Whats are the good budget cases this year from renowned brands thats available universally/asian market? From Spigen, Ringke, ESR and brands like these? For iPhone 17 Pro Max.

I don’t want to overspend on cases, so previously i used a ESR cloud and spigen c1 with my 16Pro and this year I’m having a hard time finding any good budget options coz most of them either bulking up the phone or doesn’t have ample upper lip to protect the screen for daily usage. I don’t need anything bulky, just enough for day to day use. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

iOS 26.5 on brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max

It’s been a day with my new 17PM. I updated to 26.5 right away. This is how my day went and still left 43% in the tank. Didn’t face any major bugs. Although some minor glitches came right away after updating but went away in an hour or so. Sharing my experience of using the device and iOS 26.5 for those who care. I am using my phone as i always do and I don’t game on my device. Please feel free to share your experience.

Got this sleek 17 PM in White Silver

The BL of 16Pro was making me anxious, so got this one today. Loving it so far.

PS. iOS 26.5 performs shit in this.
