The on-device encryption standard for iOS devices in India are no different from the ones anywhere else. If the OS is up to date, and the phone is locked with an unknown passcode, then Apple can’t get into it, in the U.S., India, anywhere.
Having said this: For now, it IS possible in India for Apple to obtain any data backed up in iCloud, if law enforcement follows whatever legal procedures are in place. Advantaged Data Protection (in which Apple “throws away” its copy of the encryption key), is not a feature that exists there yet. This is probably what they’re referring to here.

Hi! I am about to upgrade my iPhone 11. I’ve seen many comments about how the 13 and 14 are pretty much the same phone. Part of me feels that I should just go ahead and get the newest phone. Another part feels I should save a little money. What should I do?

Reply to Defective iPhone 14 camera? by WorldTraveller101
This isn't the first time people have complained about oversharpening on iPhone cameras, especially with trees and bushes.
It's why I lose trust in reviewers when they claim they have amazing cameras each year. You have to look for reviewers that actually point out flaws in phone cameras nowadays.
Btw, the solution is to shoot ProRAW. It's not RAW, but still has way less oversharpening.

The FBI is American, this case is in India, where the laws are significantly different. It’s entirely possible-without having an in depth knowledge on the matter-that encryption standards are mandated to be different in India, or companies are mandated to be able to unlock their devices if required by LE.

This.
Apple has certain rules in place, but they also have to comply with local law if they wish to sell devices in that country.
Much like them being forced to move Chinese user data to Chinese servers under the control of government workers. Now this doesn’t mean they can instantly access all user data because that’s not how encryption works, but it’s an example of them complying by force with local law.

Reply to iPhone leather case quality issue by nunalla
I have an red Apple leather case on my XS that I’ve had on it for about 6 months, and it’s just starting to look worn in. The edges and corners are fine though. Still looks good.

But… Apple states
As a result of these stronger protections that require data encryption, we are no longer able to use the data extraction process on an iPhone running iOS 8 or later.
If that’s true, then that would mean that India gets a “different” iOS 16 then other countries. Pretty big deal. Huge, even.
Or worse, Apple can back-door all devices, everywhere.
Apple has stated over and over that the encryption key to the device is the passcode alone.
If there is a “back door”. Is there an Apple universal master encryption key? Is this through brute force?

Yes, my boyfriend an I have tested this by sending texts an it displays every time, same with everyone that I text in iMessage. I never mess with my settings of my phone when I get them, so however it comes factory set is how it has been since I got it.

Are you using an US two-prong charger or any ungrounded power adapter really? If so, the tingling sensation is because you’re acting as the ground, conducting away any extra current.
It happens with MacBooks too, or pretty much any metal device plugged in but not connected to the ground.
If every part of the circuit is tested and approved to your country’s electrical standards then it should be fine but your best bet is to switch to a grounded connection.
This is just my best-guess answer. If ever in doubt about anything electricity related, speak to a trained electrician.

Not really, it has to do with a combination of the higher peak brightness, always on display and pro motion display. The a16 chip might be more power hungry too, that im not so sure of though.

Check per contact, as you can turn it on and off for individual contacts. How do you know it’s showing you’ve read their texts, have they told you? It won’t show you in the message thread that “you” have read the message, only on their side.

But how? Apple has a back door? Waiting for a response from Apple. Genuinely curious.
I get this is in India. But technically, how?

Things on iPhone don't get backed up real time? You have to do it manually?

Get in touch with your local law enforcement agency. I’m a detective. It falls under that umbrella

Remember when the phone had 10 apps and that was it? You couldn’t sync your life to the cloud or store tons of personal information on it. The worst you’d have on a phone was contacts and texts

Yes you can remove the charge plate because you can swap it between the vent clip or the stationary mount
