iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black

Was this the coolest colour way released in recent years by Apple?

My first ever brand new iPhone was a Jet Black 7 Plus. Damn it loved scratches and fingerprints! Sometimes wish I still kept it for the sheer joy it gave me when I first got it

Months of Chasing a Mysterious Green Camera Dot… Solved

For months I kept noticing the green camera indicator on my iPhone randomly lighting up. I was worried that some app was accessing the camera in the background without my knowledge.

I went through all my apps, changed settings, searched online, and couldn’t find any explanation.
One thing I did notice was that it happened most often while scrolling through my Home Screen looking for apps, but I never figured out why.

Today I accidentally solved the mystery.

I was swiping to the widgets screen and saw the green dot light up again. This time I paid close attention and realized my Camera app icon is 2 rows above the dock. Even a slight touch on the Camera icon while swiping, without actually opening the app, is enough to trigger the green camera indicator.

It looks like iOS starts preparing the camera even before opening it.

So after months of thinking something shady was happening in the background, it turned out it was just my fat thumb grazing the Camera app while swiping. 😅

Has anyone else noticed this?

My iPhone 14 sent a text by itself after receiving a text from a different number

My iPhone was sitting on the floor of my truck when it received a text from my mother telling me to tell my father that we were having pork chops for dinner, it then texted my fathers phone (Samsung) the words ‘pork chops’ with no other information. I had not read the message yet so nothing was said aloud for the phone to overhear, I double checked I didn’t have any automations enabled, and the phone was locked. I am at a loss as to explain this.

I may have accidentally been texting a child instead of my boyfriend?

So I have an iPhone and my boyfriend got an android with a new number over a month ago and sometimes my messages would send as blue. He said he didn’t know why but his email and phone number were on his daughter’s iPad so I assumed that was why. So fast forward about a month and I get these texts. I’m horrified because I sent sensitive pictures the literal night before I got these texts and have sensitive messages from before too. So what are your thoughts on her waiting so long to tell me and what can we do to alleviate the situation? (The blacked out area showed my control panel)(pls help me I am mortified) EDIT: I think the mom successfully unregistered the number from Apple because my texts are only green now

Iphone wifi isn’t working correctly after plugging it into my laptop.

Yesterday i plugged my iphone into my laptop to try to copy my video of fireworks from the 3rd to my laptop, but not only did it not show anything on the iphone/wouldn’t load anything really after opening it on the laptop, after i unplugged it the wifi connection became trash. Now i can’t watch videos or really load webpages at all without turning off the wifi and just using my cell phone’s data. I disconnected both from the wifi and restarted both, i’ve done my phone multiple times now and still it is lagging and not working on the wifi. About to reset the phone completely to see if that helps, if it doesn’t i’m going to use my extended warranty and just return it for a new one.🤷‍♂️

Help me identify this OS

I was confused over this guy on threads with this screenshot of an “Apple” device in which they are commenting on the call screening function but I noticed weird things about the aspect ration and functions.

I also haven’t been able to get a landscape call screening screen on my iPhone.

Here’s a link to the thread: https://www.threads.com/@mcb1tx/post/DaV5hMkGpbb?xmt=AQG03KpHKNMPZOtyEaJCOnVvGQjiJn0uJE6OZvDZ5ihA7BQnl2KvAG7N0NNV685J0Tn7E2eL&slof=1

Face ID slower iOS 26

I have an iPhone 13 and on the iOS 18.7.8 Face ID was the smoothest that has ever been, no stutters, no more wait, but then switched to iOS 26 and everything went downhill… it doesn’t recognize me normally, when I swipe up to unlock the phone it shows me a blank screen and then unblocks, like it takes more to unlock because of the new animation that adds miliseconds to unlock, do you also have that problem?

Is Iphone really that much more "private"?

I hope this is the right sub for this question.

I have been getting samsung galaxies since the 5. I am up for an upgrade and recently i have been seriously considering iphone and admittedly the clever marketing with the new data tracking commercials is really making me question. Is iPhone privacy really so much better? And why should i care?

Im not necessarily saying i dont care but rather i dont know what i dont know. Ignorance is bliss. The only way i could see this impacting my life is i have ADHD and impulse buying is something i struggle with. So when my phone shows me an ad for something i was literally just talking about with my husband i sometimes order when i didnt really need to.

Does that really not happen on iphone? Or am i falling for clever marketing? I appreciate input so much. It will help me make a decision.

iPhone 16 pro camera stopped working unexpectedly

I’ve an iphone 16 pro, i was on a video call with my friend in my room, and suddenly camera showed 2 pink lines on the camera, my friend informed me, i restarted my device but those lines were there.

The next morning i was again on video call on whatsapp with same friend and the screen went completely black. I never dropped my phone, there were no laser light or whatsoever to hinder with sensor, it just plainly stopped working, not how can i explain this to apple support, the iphone is no longer in warranty.

It feels like a scam tbh, bought such an expensive device and then it stopped working out of nowhere.

Screen Mirroring to Windows PC with CastMe.

I don’t know who’s going to find this useful, but I’ve been looking for a way to cast my iPhone screen to my PC while watching WC games. Every service i tried kept bugging me to upgrade from the free trial to the full version, so i made my own app and i am sharing it to everyone here hoping someone will find it useful. It is completely and %100 free to use with no ads, no full version no nothing, download, install and you’re all set. And i am not looking for anything in exchange, i just hope this helps someone else that had the same situation.

You can grab it from:

iPhone 13 mini dead and SIM fried. Any thoughts on why/how?

My iPhone 13 mini was working fine, the an hour later it was dead - black screen, no response, nothing. Took it into a shop, and when they plugged it in it came back to life. Battery maximum capacity was 81%. Thought it was just a glitch but about an hour later the same thing happened - phone completely dead.
Took it to the Apple store and they were not able to get anything when trying to run diagostics. My SIM card was also fried.
I reluctantly opted for a new phone (17e).
I keep wondering why this might have happened. At the Apple store they asked if my phone happened to be updating at the time. I had no idea if it was or not.
Any thoughts on potential causes?

ND Filter suggestions

Any suggestions for ND FILTERS? Have you bought and used one?
I don’t see great reviews about the ones i see online.
Are they practical? Or just gimmicky in phones?
