Literally yes. it's routine

You technically don't even need to call or anything. If the phone is locked and your pin code isn't something easy to guess, they won't get in. Reporting the phone as lost to the carrier only prevents it from being used on some carriers that share the same database on the off chance you somehow release the phone from your iCloud's activation lock.

No it's not possible to restore the phone and sell it as is. If anyone tries to put the phone in DFU mode to wipe it, first thing it does when it comes back up is asking for the password of the owner's iCloud account. The phone is as good as a brick until the owner either releases it remotely or the correct password is put in.

I might be wrong but I think it learns your preferences when you readjust.

I get by with only google drive (google photos). Everything gets uploaded there automatically

What about photo storage and stuff. Dy you need to use icloud or can you get by using Google drive only?

But I want it adjusted to what auto brightness would put it at. That’s why I mean, I want it to auto adjust back

Man... 1st world probs

1. No, returns of gifts simply do not work that way.

2. As a juvenile using a device purchased by an adult, an Apple Store would not do anything anyway beyond provide warranty support.

3. The phone number can be changed but the purchase is still tied to her.

4. I know this sounds harsh but, no, you do not sound like a rich snobby kid. You sound appallingly entitled and need to grow up. Your father would have purchased something else but unfortunately he died? You distill the death of a parent to something that cold and selfish? Your mother "is the type" as if you are a judge of types? Actually, your mother is the type who bought you a rather expensive gift. for which you are showing no gratitude. I am sorry but it sounds like your mother has good reason to keep you on a leash if this is the best you can manage.

You can adjust from the control center. No need to go to the settings.

Well I dont want to open the files app, navigate to a folder, and start scanning. I just want to open an app with a single click and start scanning.

Did you try auto adjust in edit? Sometimes it works.

You typically cannot change anything with a phone that belongs to someone else and youre just an authorized user on.

that said, IGCSE… you’re British, I take it? The laws may be quite different there and you may have more leverage. Here in the US, a kid can’t make changes to an account they’re not an owner of (The person paying the bill has authority)

Even if you change your phone number it’s still be on your moms account. After 2 months she can’t return it though, only thing she can do is sell it or take it away from you.

There’s something called “DelayOTA”, it’s a method which “delays” your updates afaik, but i don’t think i can talk about exploits here.

iOS 16.3 is fine….you’re honestly just putting your devices at risk by not updating at this point

Samsung to iPhone?

hello, everyone! since 2015, i've had a samsung note, but as i update my phone every three to five years, i've been considering moving to an iphone next year (2024). i just want to try something different hehe. at the moment, i have a note 10 plus, galaxy buds, and an hp spectre (windows)

i wanted to hear your thoughts, so which one do you think is better? which is more cost-effective?

(a) purchase the most recent iphone model; keep my note 10 plus

(b) purchase the most recent iphone model; upgrade my note 10 plus to the most recent samsung note model

(c) purchase the most recent samsung note model; switch from my note 10 plus to an older iphone model (as i'm new to the ecosystem).

tia!

They just told you - nothing to change in the settings. You can reduce it by shooting in raw and processing the image yourself.

Did you take it in the dark? They introduced night mode since 11

It's under personal hotspot on setting.

Whose being vague? Cause I didn't know that so I certainly couldn't write that.
