Reply to comment by Hopeful-Tax7416 in Is there a way to remove those stains with scratches on my iPhone 7 Plus jet black? by No_Total2624

That’s simply not true. You can polish any sort of glass, plastic or paint with a high enough grit.

OP, I have done lots of automotive paint and plastic restoration. It’ll take specialized tools like a drill, polishing pad and a high grit compound but you can make it look new again. If that doesn’t work, you could try 3000 grit sand paper and wet sand it. Then polish those scratches out with a compound.

It’s a lot of work for something that is going to look like that again after you put another case on it though.

Reply to comment by ONE_BIG_LOAD in Phone keeps popping up with this error, but it's not wet or ever has been? by very_cozy

in my experience iPhones take ~90 minutes to fully charge, but similarly to your experience they charge up to the first 50% much faster with a faster charger, though more like 30 minutes instead of 5-10. (I'm jealous!)

And you're right that it seems like they have smaller batteries! Like my non-large iPhone 14 pro has a 12.38Wh battery but it lasts all day easily. Never thought about it before but this must mean that Apple's chips/software just pull less energy. (also I was wrong before, if a 12.38Wh battery takes 90 minutes to fully charge then it's average charging rate is only 8W, even lower than the 10W-12W I guessed!)

Reply to People that argue over which phone/brand is better. Why?! by Upbeat-Truck-1833

A phone is a phone at the end of the day. People are going to use what’s familiar to them and what they prefer. Yeah I admit I got into those little debates and used to think iPhone users were all “sheeple”. That was when I was a little younger. Now I use what’s convenient for me. I don’t use an iPhone as a status symbol. I use it for work and school (software development courses online) and I own a MacBook for my studies. I laugh now when people call either side fanboys, sheep etc. All nonsense

Reply to comment by haroldhecuba88 in Can we please normalise the fact putting your wet device in rice isn’t a smart idea? Rice isn’t a magical product. Instead put it in a dry area with sufficient airflow! by [deleted]

I wrote "your phone would probably have dried out [anyway] in a non-rice environment". I added the word in square brackets to bring the quote back into context before you start bleating about that. The concrete reference was a general statement of what can happen with rice dust, not with that commenter's phone, as is plainly obvious if you read it with an open mind instead of deciding what it says beforehand.
