End users shouldn’t have to do this lol

Did they take a pic of the phone BEFORE the repair?? If at a actual APPLE store they usually do for this exact reason .. I would escalate this issue

I’ve been on a 64GB XS since launch, 128 is absolutely fine for a long time. Just be smart about how you use your storage

Did it work? Had the same issue about 2 weeks ago, reboot didnt work so I contacted apple support and was told to backup phone to icloud and do a complete factory reset. That fixed it for me

Nah man I love settings. I LIVE for iPhone settings app.

It’s mostly write speeds that are improved. That’s where the significance really is. Good news is most of our work done on a phone is read speeds. Which are similar and likely not noticeable

Take advantage of the 14 day return/exchange. Get the size you need. Eat the restock fee.

OR

Buy a lot of cloud storage.

About 2)…

Please, OP, use an adblocker

I had ads on porn sites automatically charge shit to my phone bill. Turned off 3rd party purchases on my line since then.

I think the reflection moved to the side where i moved the phone, but i’m not so sure so i’ll try again tomorrow. I was just shocked when i saw the reflection, i mean it felt like it’s not normal in any way and i was upset.

Thank you! Happy 2023 to you too!

Thanks op, was at 29gb and went down to 8gb.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation, i’ll be very happy if there’s nothing to worry about. If that’s the case, no choice for me but accept it as it is, i was just upset and worried if i got a defected phone. I really didn’t have this visible reflection on s10+ though but i completely understood what you said. Thanks!

Hmm no it just works for me

It said in one of the steps how to not lose messages. Curious though, whats the purpose to have 3 years worth of messages, like do people really sit and read thousands of old messages just for fun? Never understood this phenomenon of keeping around super old messages.

Any additional steps you have to do? I try it but it doesn’t do anything. I’m wondering if you have to have a limit on storage for this to happen

This phone has insane, even UFO like lens flares and borked HDR. IDK how the f it won best camera everywhere.

The 128GB model is fast enough for ProRes 4K. But it would fill up ridiculously fast.

Apple store is responsible for the repair of the screen since the screen was in good condition.

Exactly, the reason why i made this post, even though your case is more involving than mine which basically a capitalist thing 😂

Went from ~7GB to ~5GB. Not a huge change, but this does seem to work. I’ll take it!

Thanks for sharing.

try 3uTools

Hope someone can share 512GB and 1TB variants

Maybe they are uploading, under the unknown artist, unknown album and unknown song.

Same thing happened to me today took it to the Apple Store working again in less than 10 mins :)
