Nope, iPhone 14 Pro Max

Are you sure? Because iStores exist and a lot of people confuse them with Apple Stores

Does Siri & Dictation also have location access on?

Yeah I meant Apple. We just all call it iStore in my country - it’s a bit of slang

I spent 4 hours fighting with Karen and on the phone wirh Apple.

I meant Apple. I’m just used to calling it iStore in my country.

I have the clear spigen MagSafe case on my 12 pro and it yellowed within a month.

Screen Time is the worst piece of crap software Apple has released. I’ve been using it for years to monitor and protect our kids phone usage and it has never improved. Glitches like this make tracking so frustrating and apple doesn’t acknowledge the problems.

It is just a garden variety example of what happens when an intense light source reflects off the sensor and then back onto the sensor from the interior surface of the exterior lens protector (the exterior glass is a protector, not a lens). Assuming there is no residue on the protector that is enhancing refection (not likely to do anything anyway) it is completely normal. Note how the patterns replicate the light source in all three photos. Simply put, the glass and sensor are creating their own version of a hall of mirrors effect. That is as textbook as that gets in the digital camera world. DSLRs and mirrorless cameras control for it (to an extent) by using anti-reflective coatings and additional lens elements (and changing aperture) but even they are susceptible under the right conditions or will just kill contrast across the entire frame. Smaller lenses and sensors reflect differently because they do not let in as much light.

BTW, yes, your Galaxy S10 did do that (and more) just with other types of light and different effects (I owned one). Smaller lens plus smaller sensor means less opportunity for certain issues but they were and are still present. If you want an analogy, hang a pocket mirror on a wall next to a full wall mirror and point a flashlight at the wall (or even turn on a lamp). Unless the light source happens to be in the right position, which is going to prominently reflect the light? As for the S10 series, point one directly at a focused light source like a street light and you get versions of the same effect. Beyond that it is a baseless comparison anyway since it is the equivalent of arguing that an economy car does not have some performance car's safety problem at excessively high speeds when it cannot go that speed in the first place.

Thank you so much for this! I will definitely do it on my phone, I receive a lot of spam containing links and it drives me insane

iStore is not Apple, it's a third party retailer / repair outfit.

You need to take it up with them as looks like they messed up your phone.

I too would like to know this. It pisses me off! Especially since I don’t even use Apple Music

I left it alone, and did the button thing one more time and it turned on

Here are mine on 512GB 13 mini

Well if it wasn’t damaged before then they 100% need to fix it. Did you talk to a manager?

They say it’s a common thing where the device that heats the phone and pulls the screen apart causes It.

I took it up with Apple and they just said sorry. Not their problem.

I added your note to the process just in case. Thank you!

>istore

>Apple themselves

Istore isn’t an Apple Store, they’re just authorised resellers

Was there any damage to the display before you left it? If not, I would definitely escalate that because if it was damaged by them during the repair, they should be fixing it.

You’re bright enough to ask why you’d need to do this at all. Which is a great question.

Yooo send screenshot of that folder

yeah i've only had mine for 4 months so this shouldn't be happening

You would think so but here is apple making something so bad and people still buy it up like there’s no tomorrow. And they’ll justify and defend their purchase or just because it’s an apple product here on reddit. Apple could literally sell these people a block of shit and they’ll love it.
