Is there a good free iphone app for making collages using stickers?
Basically just needs layers and the ability to place, resize, etc. stickers?
Stores so filled with random trash these days, ik more than a few decent options must exist.
iOS 18.4 update vs faceid
FYI this update messed up faceid. Had to fiddle with its settings to get it back to work…
Reading apple forums it seems it rarely happens with updates on specific devices with supposedly faulty sensors. Faulty like in not 100%.
My iPhone was repaired with full screen replacement when I bought it refurbished, I guess it’s a warning shot 🙂↕️

Best stock ticker widget app?
Hi there,
I’m looking for an app with a good widget that would let me track the stocks I’ve invested in. The main issue I’m having with the system app is that the widget is limited to 6 symbols and if you are using an app to track multiple stock prices on a widget, I would love to know what you use. So far tried a few apps but had no luck. Thanks in advance.
What can your phone do today, that it couldn’t do 10 years ago?
Just thinking back to the iPhone 6 which is 10 years old this year. I’m trying to work out if there are any features people use that weren’t available 10 years ago?
My dad still uses my old iPhone 6, and it really highlighted for me that innovation has stagnated in the last 10 years, unless I’m missing something.
Private Tabs Disabled in Safari
I have noticed a major issue with my iPhone. No matter what I try, I can't open a private tab in Safari. This is not good, as it means I have to manually clear my cookies (which is impractical) or disable them altogether (which breaks some sites).
As of today, I have an adult Apple ID, but my dad is the organiser of the Apple family.
I have tried disabling content restrictions in Screen Time, but it didn't do anything. Web Content is set to "unrestricted".
There is no switch or button in Settings > Safari.
I have no configuration profiles installed that could change this. All I have are a few root certificates, a bunch of fonts, and an APN cert.
Private mode is fully functional in third-party browsers, but they do not support extensions or userscripts and provide marginally worse fingerprinting protection.
Can anyone help?
iPhone Thermal Camera
I’m still on the iPhone X, and the latest models just don’t have any features I’m excited about. I was thinking about what would make a difference to me and I think a really cool feature that would make me upgrade is thermal imaging.
Thermal cameras are expensive and the resolution and frame rate is generally rubbish because they are a niche item, but they are so useful. I’ve used them for everything from fixing heating systems, cars, and electronics to simply checking if my dog is still in the garden in the dark, or working out where ‘that draft’ is coming from.
Thermal imaging needs to be brought into the mainstream for price reduction and development, that integration to the next generation iPhone can deliver.
Am I just a weirdo, or would you like a thermal camera on the iPhone?
Battery statistics reset on itsown..?
Anyone know why my statistics reset on its own..? Its not the first time it happand. Is it because i charged my phone from 62% back to 100%..? I red on apples official forum that apperently it resets battery statistics but im not sure, because i think some times i charge it from 80% and nothing happends.. Meaby i dont charge it to 100% but to 98% or something like that, so thats why it doesnt activate reset function..?
iPhone 15 pro design is bad
I just want to rant. Was using my iPhone X since launch and figured I should finally upgrade. Got the iPhone 15 pro when it came out. The digital island is hideous. Makes no sense, and I don’t see how those features couldn’t have been incorporated into the notch. We just lose vertical screen real estate. Feels like big brother is staring at me constantly, whereas the notch kind of faded away.
The camera bump is huge, and feels awful to touch. It also makes case designs bad as well with the raised edge. It’s very hard to find a case without the raised square borer around the camera bump. These cases leave marks in all my pants. The funniest thing to me is there are billboards that feature the raised camera of the iPhone 15. There are also posters when you walk into an Apple Store of the same. As if they think it’s beautiful. I wish I had gone with my gut and not purchased the phone.
Making me think more and more about running Graphene on a pixel. Ugh, you just can’t win with phones
IPhone car sound issue
I have an iPhone 15 that when my car picks up a phone call on the hands-free system. It takes a moment to Ashley pick up and then is at first with the volume. Is this an iPhone issue that is known? Could it be T-Mobile? Or could it be my 2014 Avalon system? I didn’t have his problem with my android phone prior to this iPhone switch. Thanks for any insights.
Need parental control app
I'm looking for a parental control app for iOS 17 that allows me to not only restrict apps etc but also lets me over-ride the schedule and allow the kiddo to play as I see fit.
We were using the Screentime Labs app on android. But on iOS it doesn't work well.
Is it worthwhile capturing personal photos as spatial?
I currently have no use for spatial photos, can’t justify the price of the Vision Pro headset, and really don’t have a reason to have strong motivation.
Looking back at old family photos, I see sepia from my parents, faded from when I was a kid, and low rez/faded even from when my kids were little, looking across that timeline, the march of technology is clear. Older photos are noticeably older (even when not printed).
However I have a phone that can take spatial pictures and has extra storage, and I just had to raise my iCloud storage. Assuming spatial photos and videos becomes commonplace, it will be another noticeable jump in photo technology. Reviewers of the Vision Pro rave about them

How to unlock carrier on a second hand iphone?
I've got an old iphone SE 2 second hand, pretty sure the seller is dead at this point. I'd like to use a new sim card, but the carrier is locked (I think Tmobile)?
Glancing online, it seems like the retailer will want proof of purchase. Is there anyway to do this easily from home, or should I start looking at jailbreaking it? (This is for a friend; I'd rather keep this as simple as possible)
Follow up for any future wanderers: This worked, but only because the seller was indeed dead. They asked me to pay the balance on the account, took a credit card payment, and then unlocked it ~5 min later. Not too painful.
What's your favorite iPhone case?
Looking for minimal and thin with a good ‘button feel’ or just holes in the case to allow button access for a 15 Pro.
What are your favorites?
Startup/New Device battery drain in iP15 Pro
iPhone 13 Pro Max to 15 Pro - I just transferred all my data yesterday at 6PM and then must have missed the charger when I set it down to go to sleep around 11pm. I've done this before on my Pro max and it might drain 5% overnight. This new 15 Pro looks like I never set it down all night long - that drain curve is linear from my surfing on Chrome from 10-11p straight on till morning. It drained 32% in 8 hours with nothing but a (mostly black) dimmed AOD lockscreen.
I'm told that Apple now does the same thing Windows does and re-indexes your phone when it's new so maybe (hopefully) that's it. My battery page shows Chrome, Gmail, FB, and Memmy in the top 4 spots (70% of all usage) over the last 24 hours so I'm guessing that Apple's own internal iOS usage doesn't show up (how convenient for them).
Does this seem...normal?
I don't think I like the new autocorrect
I keep finding comments I made that have weird typos in them that I know came from autocorrect. I typed "disruptively" or something very close to that, and it turned into "disruptive let". But thats far from the only instance. If I did fat finger the y and hit t, I'd rather "disruptivelt" than "disruptive let", the first seems much more obvious that its a typo, the second could be quite confusing depending on the context since its now 2 english words.
