How are you even assuming where I got my phone from… Of course I bought it new, from a phone seller, two years ago. They were clearing their stock of 11 pros.

If it says connected they must be in the vicinity. Keep moving in different directions to begin with. Any luck yet? Also, your post is marked nsfw.

So odd how I’ve never ever noticed it before. Currently going around the house asking to see others phones lol

How the hell. I used reddit constantly but still not that much.

I mentioned in another thread that my phone was dropping steadily until it hit 81% battery health and then just pegged there. It hasn’t dropped in over a year.

It doesn’t want me to to take advantage of my AppleCare.

Apparently was added with iOS 15?! I noticed it recently for the first time (after seeing a similar post on here)

That line means the control Center is unlocked using face id

That’s also a very good point thank you

I agree with your sentiment in general. I don't think Apple is individually rigging hardware for battery replacement costs and it's all a coincidence in OPs case. BUT it's the same trillion dollar company who got caught throttling people's phones for battery life in the past in a backhanded way to make people upgrade. So I see where OPs thoughts are coming from.

Anything that’s wrong with the actual display will never show in a screenshot

Some google searches and it’s always been there???? I swear I’m going crazy.

This happened to my dad’s Samsung S9+, he got screen burn in from Instagram.

I lost my AirPods 3, for a month. Find My said they were at my work, like 40 min drive away. When I started vacation I had a very good look through my car and sure enough they fell into the crack on the right side of my driver’s seat. I am not a big fan of Find My, for finding accessories like AirPods. I think it was showing the last place they were connected to my iPhone … if you expect live tracking of a lost device like this, you are dreaming in technicolor. PS after a month not being charged in a cold car (5-10 below zero C° at night) the battery was still above 50%. I was impressed by that.

Fair, did you buy it new? Still, batteries degrade and in some cases quite significantly depending on usage. Apple has been previously sued for their dodgy business with throttling and battery management, they aren’t doing anything behind the scenes to force people to buy new models if that’s what you’re thinking.

Thanks. I’ll have to check it out.

Edit. Yep. That gonna stick with me.

I always run my screen brightness at around 30-40% brightness for battery saving purposes and I still had it on my XS, 11 pro, and 12 pro. But hey, everyone has a different experience

Why is this nsfw?

Ok got it, thanks

When it’s been on phones for a lot longer than apple have used them and they’ve probably burnt in a lot worse!

I didn’t buy it 3 years ago

A 3 year old iPhone’s capacity has dropped by 21%? Pretty good going, mine was at 86% a year in.

I've had like 6 or 7 iphones so far and not a single screen burn. Some people are just unlucky I guess? I just don't think it happens enough for us to say that this is literally the reason behind apple's profits

I don’t think it’s possible anymore, but i’m not 100% sure

Apple is not making a profit off the out-of-warranty battery replacement cost. If you want to replace the battery then just schedule it. No offense, but it is beyond silly to think that a trillion-dollar company is rigging the hardware/software to stick you with an "at cost" replacement bill. It is simply luck of the draw and nothing more. BTW, if you have Apple Care and did not use it for anything else, that free battery costs more than the 69 dollar/pound/etc. replacement given the overall price of the plan. If you want to pay attention to where companies are playing the odds to make pure profit, it is the realm of extended warranties.
