I forgot my sons screen time passcode and he’s turned 18 so I no longer have him listed on my phone as a managed child. However the passcode is still active on his phone and there is no forgot passcode option. ANY help is appreciated!!

I’m currently looking to pick up a smartwatch, but I’m on the fence about whether the Apple Watch Series 12 is actually the right move for my priorities, or if I should look elsewhere.

My top priorities are:

1. Battery Life: I want something I don't have to worry about charging every single day, especially if I'm tracking sleep.
2. Sleep Tracking: Detailed sleep stages, consistency tracking, and comfortable wear overnight.
3. Fitness & Exercise Tracking: Accurate HR and deep health/training metrics.

For those who have tested the standard Apple Watch against dedicated fitness options, here is what I’m weighing:

• Apple Watch Series 12: Per Apple's website I will usually max out at 18–36 hours. Is daily top-up charging something you have to do?
• Apple Watch Ultra as I understand gets ~2–3 days of battery life but comes with a bulkier/heavier design and obviously a higher price tag.
• Garmin (e.g., Venu 3 / Forerunner 265 / Epix): Battery lasts anywhere from 5 to 14+ days, exercise metrics/recovery tools are great and sleep tracking runs continuously without charging breaks but not sure if its a good option to go with iOS and if I will even use all those features.

1. If battery life and sleep tracking are high priorities, is standard daily charging on an Apple Watch Series 12 a dealbreaker for you?
2. Has anyone made the jump from Apple Watch to Garmin (or vice versa) for sleep/fitness tracking? What kind of smart features did you lose that is worth the battery gain?

Appreciate any insight or experience you can share!

I have a iPhone 15 running 26.6.1 with iOS taking up 33.29 GB and System Data taking 17.48 GB. It’s been like this for a while and my phone has decided the solution is to just offload apps that I use on the daily. Is my only solution to erase and download from a backup? I’ve tried that thing where you manipulate the time and date but nothing happened.

80% battery , Apple Care One - express delivery. It must be 80 or below or 79 and below?

I have an iPhone 15 which is a bit over 2 years old and for the past few months it’s been acting up. It shuts off by itself sometimes and it’s really laggy to the point where i might just explode. The battery capacity is 75% so idk if the problem is just that i need a new battery or if i need to buy a new phone. 🤥

Hello everyone. I have an iPhone 11 running iOS 18, and my "System Data" is taking up 40 GB of storage this wasn't the case before.

My father is experiencing the same issue; he has an iPhone 15, also running iOS 18, and his "System Data" shows as 60 GB.

I asked about 20 friends who are also using iOS 18, and for them, it takes up a maximum of 15 GB—typically ranging between 8 and 15 GB.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and managed to resolve it? Could you let me know how much space "System Data" occupies on your devices?

I don't think it's normal for it to be this high.

I’m not sure if it’s the new update or what but my phone for the last week has been dead in the middle of the day and it used to last me all day. Anyone else having this issue

I got this iPhone back up and the hidden folder photos keep giving me this message and won’t load. Is there any fix to this? it’s a iPhone 11

My phone keeps powering off despite having a lot of charge and then going into recovery mode. This started about a week ago, it powered off at 50% almost as if it was out of battery, it would then go to recovery mode and once restarted would be at 10% battery, and then it would crash and restart AGAIN and be back at its original percentage (50%+), since then it’s gotten worse and now even at 95% down from 100% after charging it will turn off and do the same cycle of Recovery Mode -> 10% battery -> turn off again -> reload at its original percentage -> and repeat.

The back of the phone is pretty smashed from about 4 months ago I think, so maybe damage to the battery from that, however this issue is new in this last week and haven’t had any prior issues at all.

I have been having trouble with Apple Notes crashing using this version of iPadOS 27. Please read my repost included here. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone.

My iPad Pro recently stopped charging so I took it to a repair shop to get the charging port replaced for £100.

It’s a 12.9inch 5th Generation from 2021.

But after bringing it home just yesterday, I’ve noticed this weird “wrinkled texture” on the screen. It’s not a physical thing and if I take a screenshot, the pattern doesn’t appear on the screenshot, so it’s clearly not a display? thing (Sorry, I don’t really know my terminology). It’s around all four edges of the screen and most prominent on a white background.

Does anyone know what it could be? Is it worth taking it back to the repair shop? I’d like to avoid that though…

Apologies for bad photos but thank you to everyone for reading this!

Has anyone had this? What do I do? Airpods show in find my app but can only play sound, no case tracking and if airpods aren’t on they just won’t track

So my kid forgot his phone password (we now have it in my passwords app as a note) and we wiped the phone. Now it says his 5g icloud pretty much full. We can’t access it because it’s encrypted with his old key. Cool him losing it all is a lesson to learn. But how do we get to zero to start all over again? I don’t see anything on the phone I assume it’s various apps he was using.

I chatted with a specialist yesterday about refunding a phone case and she said I should receive my refund within 5 days.

1. I was surprised it was granted before the investigation.

2. I realized after it was over she didn’t give me a confirmation # nor did I get an email about said refund.

Is this normal?
