Just add it, don’t tell them, and then mention the debris. Yes, it’s “unethical” against trillion dollar company, according to some, but this is you saving hundreds of dollars.

I remember cops were making a big deal about being able to unlock iPhones for cases an Apple stood by the right to privacy

UPS doesn’t take pictures that is Amazon. There’s idiots everywhere but a UPS driver is 1000 times less likely to steal than an Amazon driver because of the difference in pay and benefits. Amazon driving is a bullshit medium tier dead end job and UPS driving is a high end middle class career.

Like someone else said tho UPS requires signatures for Apple. Doesn’t stop warehouse people from stealing but it’s also possible the box ripped and the phone got lost. I’d personally not tape an empty box but I’ve taped a lot of ripped boxes as long as the contents look intact. The conveyor belts are no joke. Someone I worked with had their arm pulled off. Imagine what they do to boxes.

It is worth filing a claim and mentioning it to UPS though. They do take theft seriously and investigate it if it’s possible.

It must be super frustrating. Depending on the method of your payment, but I believe you can call the credit card company to dispute the charge.

No don’t. Their courier is their responsibility.

I want a super protective case for my new phone. I have typically used otterbox cases in the past. However, I’d love a case that is both cute and protective.

Phone case needs to be Durable, protective, cute, and magsafe. I want to be able to add my popsocket on the back.

Here are the brands I was looking at: 🍀Casetify - but then I read some bad reviews 🍀Caudable - but no cute colors or designs.

Thank you for the recommendations!

You got me good lol. It’s too damn early for this. My brain was in help mode and I was getting trolled. Took me a while to realize hahaha

This story is exactly why I am keeping my iPhone 13 mini until they release a new physical SIM phone or it becomes easier to travel with eSIM. This is the first time in 13 years I'm not upgrading. The world isn't ready yet and Apple made a decision that adversely affects people who travel.

True that, you at most catching up with the technology regular folks use, with enough knowledge you can become VERY hard to trace just think about all these hacker groups - some are going as far as disrupting national infrastructures and still are very hard to catch, technology advances both ways always :)

How high are you

My iPhone 13 Pro did that a few days ago. Do the following quickly. Volume Up, Volume Down, Hold button on right until apple logo appears.

I don’t know why it happened either. I don’t do automatic updates.

Speaking from experience with repair centers, then they will somehow find water damage and try to charge almost as much as the cost of the new device or more.

I have 25k photos, 1.5k videos and still over 200gb free of a 256gb phone.

I could easily go with a 128gb these days.

Start with a fresh mindset. Don’t expect iOS to work/do stuff as Android - it simply won’t. There will be things that will annoy you - can’t be helped - deal with it or switch back.

It’s like moving from Windows to Linux. Basic stuff will work but not with the same optics or haptics.

I’m sitting here refreshing my email waiting for shipping confirmation. Purchased new phones for family on Monday online after getting told “you can’t buy phones in store without an appointment” and now it’s an ~ 2 week wait according to Apple.

It definitely has been for some reason.

Voice to text has become atrocious, almost unusable lately.

Not just bad but really bad…. Completely getting things way wrong and not even close.

I don’t get it, it should get progressively better, not worse.

Third party repair (I don’t recommend this unless you want a knockoff screen), sell the current one second hand for parts and repair to get at least something, then buy a used 13 pro for less.

AppleCare+

If you didn’t break it accidentally, then what’s the be afraid? Check if you’re still under warranty, and apple will replace it unless they find damage to the device.

No

You take a seemingly dead iPhone with zero water damage and they’re not going to refuse to even look at it even if you’re out of warranty

Yes. They can be made to through the courts

Apple products typically require a signature anyways.

Yes!
