No i am not using any of the apps mentioned above more than 10-15 mins per day. The only app which shows this behaviour is twitter i don’t know why twitter is using around 30% according to battery info on iphone even when i am only using it for like 45mins.

So i have bought an iphone 12 in october 2022 and uaed it until january of this year until i have traded it for an s21. The s21 is a really great phone with a very nice camera and screen but i feel like i want to change back to an iphone 12 by trading my s21 for one. I honest feel like the iphone is more qualitative than the s21. Should i make this decision and trade it for an iphone 12?

No, iCloud is a sync service so when a photo is deleted from the device it’ll be deleted from the cloud and other devices as well. You could backup to another service and then delete.

Really? I wonder when that was cuz I’ve never seen them sold for the same price. It’s always been at or around $50-$100 difference for the phones I’ve gotten from a 6 till now.

Let me guess, you’re using your phone mainly for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. These apps will kill your battery life. As far as always using Low Power Mode, you lose features and functionality.

Here is an article that will tell you more.

Which iPhone do you have?

Yes

So is my nephew, he just got a warranty replacement a couple months back. He doesn't want an upgrade lol

I'm on iOS 16.4 on my iPhone XR and macOS Monterey 12.6.4 on my Macbook Pro, and the feature doesn't work since the updates, no matter what I tried.

They would legally have to list it as Refurbished or “like new”. You won’t get sold a fake iPhone from a reputable retailer.

It feels so nice after cleaning with it.

Windex or an industrial cleaner will clean off ALL fingerprints and leave no film. Looks like It came out of the box

So crazy to me. I like stuff to last. Rocking the xr still.

Yes, it still needs to save a small resolution version of the photo on the phone's storage.

And your point is exactly why I do not use iCloud Photos. Would love to see Apple finally give the option to fully save an image on iCloud without taking any space on the device.

It’s mostly photos…is there any way to get rid of photos on the iPhone but keep them in the iCloud?

Even if I have Optimize photos on? It was my understanding that would fix the issue…what is the point of optimize photos if it doesn’t keep what fits on my phone and what doesn’t in iCloud?

Fredric fucking Chopin?

No, Apple used to sell the unlocked phones for exactly the same price as the locked phones. Some of the carriers would sometimes offer discounts, but that was up to them. The unlocked price was the advertised price.

but it won’t it be refurbished or fake?

You can use eyeglass wipes, a microfiber cloth, alcohol swabs, or similar non-abrasive cleaning methods.

Which phone should I buy

iPhone 14

iPhone 13

iPhone 13 mini

iPhone Se 3rd Gen

I am about to go off to college and am hoping to buy a phone to last the majority of college at least. I can afford all of these options, but prefer to spend as little as possible. I use my phone mainly for browsing, light media consumption, and communication. I value performance, longevity, durability, and battery life. With that said, which phone would you guys recommend? I love the price point of the Se, but I worry about its ability to last the next four years. The 13 mini seems like a sweet spot, but I worry about its form factor. The 13 and 14 checks all the boxes, but the price point is tough for me to swallow. Also, what are your thoughts on apple care? I have broken two phones in the last 4 years, but both were cheaper androids (Pixel 4a and Nord n10 5g). I know iPhones are more durable, and I am investing in a better case and screen protector this time around. Thanks for the help!

Having internal storage and having cloud storage is not the same thing.

Using iCloud Photos still requires for you to have some internal storage available.

Look at the breakdown of storage on your phone.

Sadly, more common than you think. Instead of "water resistant", people tend to hear "waterproof"
