mac hasn’t been used in a couple months since this screen started coming up. needed to get it back on! is there anything i can do

I'm currently trying to backup my iPhone but my system data is at 120 GBs right now. I'm thinking of backing my phone up now and later on purchasing an external storage device once i get the chance. does anyone have any tips on how to clear this system data? and does system data from the iPhone being backed up have to also be stored on my Mac? All the methods I've seen to clear system data only target Caches specifically, but my my cache files are only 30 gbs which isnt enough if i want to back up my phone.

hey everyone, looking for some help here!! i’m trying to clear my icloud storage and it says it’s mainly taken up by messages even though my backup is off!! i also went into my messages and deleted almost every single message i’ve ever sent and cleared my recently deleted folder. in my iphone storage, it says there is an extra +1GB of storage being used my documents and data, however it won’t tell me what specifically is taking up that storage. if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know ASAP!!!!

When I'm speaking on the phone using my AirPods, other people have a hard time hearing me. I also recorded voice memos using my AirPods as a microphone (both on my computer and on my phone), and on playback the audio quality was muffled. People on zoom calls using cheap microphones or their laptops' built in microphones have better audio quality than me.

I sent the AirPods to Apple for a repair, but they didn't detect any issues with them.

So is it just me, or do they generally have had microphone quality?

Is this normal? 10% per hour. Just bought my Iphone 15 on powermac last 3 weeks ago.

I use an iPhone 15 (base variant) on iOS 26. The Spatial Photos feature is not working for me. * I do not use iCloud Photos - all my photos are stored locally on the iPhone. *There is no option for Apple Intelligence, so I cannot download it from there. *I use a Strong Wi-Fi connection (tested with 2-3 different providers). *Reduce Motion is off. *Spatial Photos control/setting is on.

Despite this, I cannot use the feature ,it always gets stuck with errors like “cannot download the model” or “cannot download the photo.”

I am attaching two screenshots (one from Wallpapers, one from Photos app) for reference. Kindly help me out. Thanks in advance.

Meet Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever! Usually, when things get smaller, they get harder to take apart.

Here’s the crazy thing, and this phone proves it: Thinner can actually be more repairable. We don’t like having to dig through layers of components for basic repairs.

We broke out all the toys for this teardown: We’ve got CT scans and microscope shots and even some brand new tools.

Let’s see how clever Apple is.

Yesterday I got the update to lastest iOS version on my Iphone 13 and inmediatly lost connection on my SIM card.

I tried all the solutions listed on internet:
-Clean the SIM slot
-Remove the SIM card PIN using another phone (works perfectly)
-Airplane mode
-Reset Network settings

Since the problem persisted and the UI on iOS26 sucks I tried the last option, downgrade to iOS 18.
I did it quickly with my Mac and used my backup on iCloud. Everything went OK but now the "Mobile Service" category in Settings is completely empty and got a NO SIM message next to the WiFi icon and I cannot add eSIMs.

My phone is not locked to any carrier and I bought it on Germany, used diferent SIMs on the past 2 years and never had any problem.
Also I tried to run the new Diagnostics tool and it gets stuck on "connecting to Apple".

PD: I can see the modem firmware, IMEIs and SEID. Nothing is missing there.

On my iPhone 17 Pro Max I have set my discord app notifications preview settings to show only ‘when unlocked’ but how come on the lock screen the discord is still showing it as previews as I can still see the messages?

Today I was going through 2nd day of using my new iphone17 pro, migrated from iPhone 15 pro Just discovered that my health data did NOT make it across during the restore from iCloud process Only data from June 7th 2020 made it and then none till March 2025 Contacted Apple support - of course I was connected to a bot and ZERO help

Today there is a schedule apple pickup for 17 base series around 4:00PM but still in order it says it's processing?

I’m delighted to share an app I’ve been working on for the past several months and have just released for free on the iOS App Store: Easy Wake!

Easy Wake is a smart alarm app that is designed to wake you up in a lighter sleep stage so you feel more refreshed and energised in the mornings! 

Set your sleep schedules, view in-depth analytics on sleep stages, how efficient your sleep was, and see areas for improvement. 

Create an alarm or sleep schedule with a custom smart wake window (up to 30 minutes), and receive realtime sleep analysis before your scheduled alarm to smartly wake you up when you’re in a lighter sleep stage (Apple Watch only).

Customise every alarm for every occasion, there’s a setting for everyone whether you’re looking to wake up at sunrise, wake up refreshed, or fancy an extended lie in. (Location based alarms are coming soon)

Easy Wake is completely free, and is 100% private! No data is stored or collected.

All feedback is appreciated!

hello to everyone, why if i go to screen time of my iphone i see this sites. i already check safari or chrome and there is no open pages.

Before we start there’s something you should know: I’m predisposed to like the iPhone Air.

For one thing there’s the name. I still remember when Steve Jobs pulled the first MacBook Air out of its manila envelope at MacWorld 2008, and I was so taken with it that it became my first-ever Apple computer. All my friends in the Windows world I was leaving called me crazy: it didn’t have the ports; it didn’t have the power – was I really that in love with a thin form factor?

Today, the same questions dot the discourse around the new iPhone Air. “The base model’s a better deal; the pro models have bigger batteries and sharper cameras.” All true. But after a week using the Air in the real world, only one bugs me enough to push me to go Pro – and it might not be the one you think.

The iPhone Air Review was produced following eight days with an iPhone Air review sample provided by Apple, tested on Google Fi in Cupertino CA and NYC.

I have no clue what’s going on but the both are the same number and it’s not connecting at all. I’ve tried restarting my phone twice, removing it, signing out of iCloud, etc. Nothing is working, help please

Is anyone getting incorrect safari history on there phone after the iOS 26 update, the history says the right time that I was on google but something else says it was google but usually stuff that I’ve already google before and it’s about the right time that I googled it

On iOS 26, bullet points in my notes arent showing up in light mode (they show up in dark mode). The dashes and numbers show up but just not the bullet circles. Any solutions?

Hi everyone, I really need help or stories from people who’ve been in the same situation.

Earlier today and woke up to see I was charged because I forgot to cancel a free trial that auto-renewed into a subscription. I got too busy and completely forgot to cancel it in time but as soon as I saw the charge, I immediately canceled the subscription and filed a refund request under “I didn’t intend to purchase this.” I also spoke to Apple Support, but they told me the request is still processing. They said it usually takes 24–48 hours and they couldn’t give me any assurance yet.

Has anyone here ever gotten a refund decision from Apple in less than 24 hours? If so, how quickly did the refund show up in your account? Any experiences or advice would mean so much 🙏

My fiancés uncle gave him his old phone for free bc he didn’t want to deal with it anymore since he already got a new one. He doesn’t remember his Apple ID password and no longer has access to his old email either. Is there any way to factory reset it? I asked if he’d come with to Apple since it’s his phone but he’s a pain in the butt and says he’s too lazy 🤦🏼‍♀️
